Hey twitter fam, I hope you share this. I haven't seen my brother since October. He is an addict, and we hoped he was seeking help, but no clinic has him. Panic is setting in. Brandon was last seen in Austin. He is 37 y/o, 5'11 & about 145 lbs. Thanks! #missingperson #atx #atxhiv

Just received this from a records custodian who realized that she accidentally forwarded me her exchange with other people at her state agency about my public record request—an exchange that will help me challenge her denial.

There are 4,477 people confined in the downtown Houston jail right now solely because they can't pay cash. We sued each of the judges responsible for it.

@RachelTheC We are so proud of @PatrickMichels !

The story is about Lorraine Muñoz, a recently retired judge in L.A., who denied asylum at extremely high rates.

For years she was also the nation’s main IJ handling cases from transgender people seeking safety in the U.S., who she misgendered and retraumatized in her court.

“Immigration Judge,” in Investigative Reporting, is the 3rd #Murrows2020 award for @reveal this evening.

[Ronin Joseph DePrang @deprangy]

YES! Read this important story by an incredibly smart, hard-working, secretly funny, profoundly good person. It just won a Murrow.

[Patrick Michels @PatrickMichels]

Amazing news — this is a story I produced last year about one of the toughest immigration judges in the country. This was years in the making, and so much work from across the @reveal newsroom made it happen.

Let a local news reporter moderate a debate. I'm talking like, cynicism-poisoned, sits in 7-hour City Council meetings, makes $35,000 before taxes newspaper reporter.

Me, let me moderate a debate.

@TheStalwart This sounds like football, because of how much I know about finance and football.
