While talking to a group of colleagues @ExpressNews about how best we could support Asians in our community, columnist @caryclack spoke of a horrific crime taking place around 20 years ago and how San Antonio stepped up in order to show support. Found this column he wrote.
.@HeiseyTalia and I have been working on this reporting for about a month now and I’m very proud of the final product. We wrote about James Baldwin’s time in Amherst and the amazing effect he had on students and colleagues for @MDCollegian. https://t.co/ZmuRuwrEK8
San Antonio hospitals treated patients for an array of weather-related injuries this week as freezing temperatures seized the city.
One man died of hypothermia. Others were treated for frostbite or carbon monoxide poisonings, some from using grills inside homes.
Hospitals, still facing a pandemic, saw patients who needed dialysis, ran out of oxygen, or lost power for medical equipment.
"Now that the temperatures are supposed to come back up, I'm hoping we don't see this again for at least another 20, 30 years," said Dr. Ralph Riviello.
NEW: The winter weather and water/power outages in Texas have been a disaster for dialysis patients, some of whom have gone days on end without a mandatory, lifesaving treatment.

Hypocrites. Complete and utter hypocrites.
And don't forget @MayorAdler who took a private jet with eight people to Cabo and WHILE IN CABO recorded a video telling Austinites to "stay home if you can...this is not the time to relax."
The kitten in this clip, Presidio County Attorney Rod Ponton, told me he was happy to give people a chuckle at his expense in these stressful times.
"It was certainly not an intentional thing to put the cat image up there but s*** happens," Ponton said.
"I'm here live. I'm not a cat."
A lawyer logged into the 394th Judicial District with a cat filter on and couldn't turn it off.
This may be the funniest video I've seen this year.
Judge Roy Ferguson walked Ponton, representing Texas in a civil forfeiture action, through removing the filter.
Ferguson said the fun moment was "a by-product of the legal profession's dedication to ensuring that the justice system continues to function in these tough times."

Brady is a prized Akaushi bull who has already sired about 75 calves.
"Just as Tom Brady is able to throw winning passes and win games, our Brady is able to pass on his marbling and his great beef eating experience on to his offspring," said HeartBrand's president.
Cal Jillson, an SMU political science professor, said Republicans would have reason to worry if Trump did start his own political vehicle.
"That would divide the Republican Party and open the door to massive Democratic victories at the national level and in many states."
James Davis, a 57-year-old municipal worker from Florida, filed a statement of organization with the FEC for the "MAGA Patriot Party National Committee."
He listed an office building at La Cantera in San Antonio as its official address.

Jason Miller, a spokesperson for Trump, disavowed the new party.
"We are not supportive of this effort, have nothing to do with it and only know about it through public reporting."
