NEW: UT Austin released "protest rules" that say "individuals may not come to campus without authorization," which is in direct contradiction to a video they published 6 months ago that says members of the public can "come to campus at any time and engage in demonstrations."
NEW from me: The "ghost wolves" of Galveston Island—coyotes with high levels of endangered red wolf DNA—have enchanted folks on the island, but the animals face threats from development, including a Jimmy Buffet-themed Margaritaville resort. texasmonthly.com/travel/ghost-w…
There were about 90 officers in riot gear on this lawn about 10 minutes ago. Not 5 minutes after they left, the protestors returned. Could be a long evening.
I just signed a law protecting free speech on college campuses. #txlege
What, I thought we were in favor of free speech on campus? Or does that only apply if you hold an opinion on foreign policy in line with the governor?

We'll learn more soon, I'm sure, but this looks like Abbott flexing for Fox News, showing that he is 10x harder on the campus pinkos than any East Coast authority

I helped organize an unpermitted walkout and rally in front of the Tower in 2003 to protest the Iraq War. The police were never this heavy-handed.

Forbes released their 2024 list of the Richest People in the World. I thought it would be interesting to see how many are investing in Texas politics, how much, and to who. And turns out the answers are a lot, a lot, and mostly Republicans. #txlege open.substack.com/pub/christacke…
SCOOPLET: Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson, who not long ago switched to the Republican party, has hired a staff writer at the Dallas Express, a right wing website funded by GOP megadonor Monty Bennett, who took a leadership course with the Christian Nationalist group Wall Builders. 1/

The Texas Public Policy Foundation, funded by oil billionaires, got a $3 million tax break on their lavish headquarters because they claim to conduct "scholarly scientific research." TPPF is among the worst peddlers of misinformation about climate change.

@GregAbbott_TX @stevefortx @DadePhelan @CoveyTX Straus says @rgratcliffe’s account of his meeting with Tim Dunn, in which Dunn called on Straus to put only Christians in leadership, is accurate. “It was a pretty unsatisfactory meeting. We never met again,” Straus says. texasmonthly.com/news-politics/… #txlege
Another scoop in this @Forrest4Trees and @russellgold piece: TPPF's headquarters was built with a federally subsidized loan meant for disadvantaged businesses that "do not have other reasonable financing options.” A GOP state rep helped secure the loan: texasmonthly.com/news-politics/…
The river/boundary is 800 meters away. The landowner foolishly cut off game from water with this and anyone can make landfall there into the US. He’s turned his property into a no man’s land. Nice.

Opinions are my own. #txedThis week, I got to do something that journalists are not always given the opportunity to do after they publish stories: return to the community they spent months reporting at to distribute the story in person. 🧵
NEW: UT Austin released "protest rules" that say "individuals may not come to campus without authorization," which is in direct contradiction to a video they published 6 months ago that says members of the public can "come to campus at any time and engage in demonstrations."
look, it would have been nice to have this kind of enthusiasm in Uvalde
state troopers are now shoving protesters who have no where to go since they’re hemmed in on all sides, one arrest so far, he has roughly *20* state troopers detaining him. he was simply walking in the demo
I was there. There were easily 10k people. It was entirely peaceful. UT police told us to stay out of the roads and blocked traffic when the numbers got too big. I’m very curious who sent in the arrest-happy DPS troopers today
I helped organize an unpermitted walkout and rally in front of the Tower in 2003 to protest the Iraq War. The police were never this heavy-handed.
.@statesman journalists just ended a four-day ULP strike in protest of @Gannett’s bad-faith bargaining. Here are the unethical & embarassing ways @statesman management & @Gannett tried to cover up our absence from the paper, misrepresenting & creating errors as they did. 🧵
I’m on strike for the first time in my career as I join my co-workers to fight for fair, livable wages for my younger colleagues. We’ve seen our newsroom shrink by almost 79% since 2012, and that cannot continue.
@Forrest4Trees Which would make more sense regarding a possible religious exemption but you are right. I don’t understand why either is not required to pay property taxes.
Justin's story caps off a good week over at texasobserver.org: @josephineklee exposes possible TxDOT malfeasance in Houston & reviews a fascinating new book; @MichellePitcher delves into sleep deprivation in prisons; and we republish a shattering @LaVerdadJz investigation
"For all the emphasis placed on the serious nature of Paxton’s securities fraud felony charges and the maximum penalty they carried—99 years in prison—it was never likely that Paxton would’ve been locked up ... if he’d been convicted." texasobserver.org/paxton-legal-e… @by_jmiller
Oh, and @LiseDigger, @by_jmiller, and I are heavy into editing the May/June print issue, which @ivanflr will lay out soon. @FrancescaDnunz has a beautiful bit of border reportage in it. Cover story by @DylanBaddour. Humbly, I'd recommend subscribing now: hype.co/@texasobserver…
@Forrest4Trees @russellgold Thanks for finding and exposing this!
“Research.” Man, if it’s this easy, Home Depot oughta sell steeples to Texas home owners.
NEW from me and @russellgold: The Texas Public Policy Foundation convinced the comptroller that it should be exempt from paying taxes on its lavish headquarters because it conducts “scholarly scientific research.” texasmonthly.com/news-politics/…
