I can’t remember a journalist ever being arrested for doing his job in my 24 years of reporting in Austin.

[Brett Cross @BCross052422]

Shit, if only they’d have moved like that when my son was being murdered.

But what do I expect….1 AR-15 keeps 376 officers at bay.

Working for five days and resting for two

Reports are confirming 80 dead, so far, and the @nytimes is reporting that a white settler couple successfully recovered a ROLEX watch from their Lāhainā home.

great day to share some of my fav pics of princess diana hanging out and shaking hands w AIDS patients at a time when the disease was so stigmatized, nurses would leave trays of food outside of patients’ rooms for fear of catching it via touch

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Watching media give the Brock Turner treatment for the killing of a homeless man has been nauseating.

A person having a record does not excuse killing them. Neither does being poor, sick, or homeless.

Virtually every one of us is closer to being in Neely’s shoes than we think.

Someone call Lucia the seamstress to fix this. I believe in her

[No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen @NoLieWithBTC]

The red line is when Republicans ended the national assault weapons ban.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

You received $1,306,130 in donations from the NRA.

You voted against the most recent bipartisan gun package in June.

If you’re so “ready to assist” -- start by doing your job and passing commonsense gun laws that will help prevent tragedies like the one today.

Nearly 1 million pounds of vinyl chloride were on this train. Now, the EPA has confirmed it's entered the Ohio River basin which is home to 25 million people.

This is one of the deadliest environmental emergencies in decades and no one is talking about it.

[Shut up already, damn! @onlychyld]

This is why Twitter is valuable. The media isn’t covering this story because Norfolk Southern is so powerful they can get a blackout. As a result, there’s a chemical disaster, endangering people and killing animals, in OHIO that no one has heard about.

[Colin Kaepernick @Kaepernick7]

Based on what we uncovered in Kern County, we created the “Autopsy Initiative” which provides free second autopsies to families who lost loved ones in police killings. We have completed over 40 autopsies since the program launched last year #KillingCounty

We are all closer to being unhoused than being a billionaire. Understand that.

[The Monterey @TheMontereySA]

Good morning San Antonio! Just a reminder that the man who owns The Pearl (that pretty place you love to have dinner & take selfies & walk your dog) was one of the major funders of the January 6 storming of the Capitol. Enjoy your time at the Farmer’s Market this weekend!

[Senator Roland Gutierrez @RolandForTexas]

.@GovAbbott’s grid failed again in Houston this past weekend, leaving 2.2 million people without clean water for days.

With higher demands of power predicted for winter, if storms are as bad as they were in 2020, the grid is GOING TO FAIL AGAIN. #fixthedamngrid #txlege

[ACLU @ACLU]

The bill does not, however, codify the right of same-sex couples to marry in all 50 states, as the Supreme Court deemed constitutionally required in Obergefell v. Hodges.

If Obergefell is overturned, states would still be able to deny marriage licenses to LGBTQ couples.

[Michael Harriot @michaelharriot]

Stephen A. Smith might be right. Maybe it's wrong to judge Jerry Jones for something that happened 65 years ago. Maybe he was just "curious." How could anyone know?

A thread.
