I showed up to the No Wall of Big Bend rally because our public lands and natural spaces should never be bargaining chips.

This administration’s approach on immigration isn’t working, land our communities are paying the price. #txlege

And yet, despite the concerns that Mr. Wandler says he shares, he continues his grift, stealing data from @tasslyn.bsky.social to monetize censorship he supported at the #txlege

You DO NOT share my concerns, sir.

I was @repmarcveasey.bsky.social’s chief of staff his first session in the #txlege in 2005. He took on against Sid Miller’s defense of confederate statues back then. This is a longstanding principled fight by Marc.

Exclusive: The Texas agency that regulates funerals imploded. What happened? The Texas Funeral Service Commission imploded this summer. This is what happened behind the scenes at the agency meant to regulate death care.

This piece is scandalously good:

"Mission Park handled the funeral of a young woman whose body went missing the day after her service....The woman’s body still hasn’t been found."

Kristin Tips (of San Antonio Mission Park fame) became the chair of the Texas Funeral Service Commission.

They haven’t. The state of Texas has been slow-walking installing AC at most prisons. Getting #txlege, Abbott, Paxton, et al to do anything to improve conditions at prisons results in pushback. Plenty of $$ for oligarchs; none for incarcerated people.

As a composer and lover of the arts, I thank Music Director Torres, President Skidmore, and the Mesquite Symphony for bringing music to the people, and for recognizing and lifting up the dedicated, talented young people who ensure that the music will continue.

Great meeting with the American Association of University Professors today about the future of higher ed in Texas.

If we want strong universities & a competitive workforce, we have to stand with the people who make higher education possible.

Looking forward to continuing this work at the #txlege.

The text reads "It’s premature to judge the results of a program until Texans know who will actually receive funding and if it will improve academic outcomes for children. Early data shows that 75% of all applicants were not enrolled in public school while applicants are significantly less racially diverse than Texas public school students. Most importantly, applications do not guarantee admission. Families may qualify for funding but still be denied admission by private schools." The text is centered between two oversized red quotation marks. At the top is a red Texas centered between two black lines. At the bottom is an attribution for the quote from Carrie Griffith, OSOD Executive Director.

What we know about the deadly shooting at Hill Country College Preparatory High School near Bulverde Authorities believe a 15-year-old student turned the gun on himself after shooting a teacher at Hill Country College Preparatory High School on Monday. Here’s what we know so far about the shooting.

As details continue to emerge at Hill Country Prepatory High School, I am saddened, frustrated, and angered that we are here in this place yet again. School shootings should not be constant “news of day.”
