@Pavldozer @trixiemattel @chrisgeidner @attitudespod Thanks for outing yourself as a predator, Paul.

The story of a mother who sprinted, barefoot, to Robb elementary and begged to sit with her murdered 10-yr old daughter so she wouldn't be alone.

Don't look away from this story. One year since Uvalde:

@wagatwe Still mad like it was just yesterday.

[Mayor Pro Tem Chito Vela, III @chitoforatx]

The @atxpoa statement regarding last night's election results is unacceptable; it is inherently undemocratic and contemptuous of the 79% of Austin voters who supported strong police accountability/oversight AND overwhelmingly rejected the weaker police association measure.

Yes, you can be Latino AND a white supremacist.
Yes, you can be Latino AND anti-migrant.

This is nothing new.

You just haven't been paying attention to years of commentary and writing about all this.

[Qasim Rashid, Esq. @QasimRashid]

How media enables white supremacy.

First pic: @nytimes depicts an unarmed Black teen killed by law enforcement as “problematic & no Angel.”

Second Pic: NYT depicts a white woman who unapologetically stole $700M & harmed countless people as “a loving mother & a new beginning.”

BREAKING: Nearly nine out of 10 people arrested on misdemeanors by Texas DPS since starting a controversial operation with Austin police are Black or Hispanic, data obtained today show.
The information has prompted a meeting of top officials today about the operation's future.1/2

@kornbreadTMFS It’s not? 🤷🏽‍♀️

If your vote didn’t matter, they wouldn’t be trying so hard to suppress it.

Greg Abbott is 🗑️

[philip lewis @Phil_Lewis_]

Less than 24 hours after a jury found an Army sergeant guilty of shooting and killing a protester, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announced that he would pardon the convicted killer as soon as a request "hits my desk"

@htownjenny Miss her so much

[RGo @rGo78704]

Congratulations, Austin.

[Chris Harris @chrisharris101]

The "partnership" between @KirkPWatson & Governor Abbot bringing *more* DPS troopers to Austin risks significant harm to the City & the people that live here.

If these add'l troopers patrol our city, like in Dallas & many border communities, we'll soon be demanding they leave.🧵

[RGo @rGo78704]

What is actually going on at City Hall?

[Austin Sanders @daustinsanders]

Mayor Kirk Watson collaborated with Gov. Greg Abbott and Lt. Gov Dan Patrick over three days on an agreement that will allow Texas DPS troopers to patrol the City of Austin for an indefinite period of time. How many state cops will be deployed and where are still being worked out

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Moderna is planning to charge $130 for its COVID vaccine, but the vaccine only costs ~$3 to make.

Meanwhile, over the last two years, the company made over $19 billion in profits off the vaccine.

Textbook corporate greed.

THREAD. Many progressives are not paying enough attention to what is happening with Cop City in Atlanta. The level of state violence against local people organizing to protect an essential forest from becoming a training center for militarized cops is escalating.
