The first few days of the World Cup have produced a surprising and often moving reminder of the country’s capacity to welcome strangers with enthusiasm.
There's no better example than the budding romance between Lawrence, Kansas, and Algeria. https://t.co/dzlUAWloa1

Hoy despedimos a la eterna Totó. (1940-2026)
A la eterna maestra que recorrió el mundo entero a ritmo de cumbias, porros, mapalés y bullerengues nacidos en el corazón de nuestra tierra.
A la eterna momposina que habló de la música tradicional del Caribe, la potenció y la enriqueció durante décadas para escribir un capítulo entero de la historia cultural de nuestro país.

houston: as you may know, there's an important election going on *right now* to fill a seat in congress. this is a big deal. if you live in district 18, the governor has deliberately denied you representation in congress since march. now is your chance to vote. here's some info🧵

My only hope is that the #txlege will actually take their time on this. Doing something just to say you did it is not effective policy and is akin to putting a bandaid on a broken bone. Doing something vetted, rigorous, rooted in research is effective and will save lives.
Rep. Sylvester Turner died in March and the TX-18th District will not to seat a replacement until December. But the same Governor who set that long-off election date is suddenly in a hurry to change its boundaries, and that of all other congressional districts too. 🤔 #TxLege

This is awful, infuriating -- and bad for Houston and Houstonians. It is also *NOT* the fault of the Landing's many dedicated journalists.
The Landing's CEO and board could not have run the newsroom into the ground quicker if they'd tried (see: https://t.co/sPRGj71mLb).
“They tore down our public schools and caused this crisis. And then tell us that vouchers is the way to fix it.
