From Gaige Davila: “I guess I was in more fear because of what I had just seen happen to the young guy in Maine. I had just seen that in the morning before I left to the movies. So, can you imagine my train of thought when I saw him pull the gun on the kid?” https://www.texasobserver.org/ice-car-chase-gun-citizen-south-texas/

From Michelle Pitcher: Local officials' attempts to investigate the death of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo have been stonewalled at every turn. They've even consulted with Minneapolis for tips on forcing #ICE to face justice. https://www.texasobserver.org/houston-ice-killing-district-attorney-trump/

Terf’s are really, really afraid we might see and read this major report. It documents UK based anti-trans critical organizations and their funding.

Even standing by the fire is so exhausting. The smoke chokes me and makes it hard to breathe, but I keep going because my kids deserve a warm meal. 😔💔
Please help me and my family get the food we need. Even a small donation can make a big difference and take one more worry off our shoulders

“In some ways, I don’t think it can be worse.”
Our top story: The collapse of a nonprofit designed to help young sex trafficking victims makes a disturbing illustration of the failures of #Texas' faltering foster care system. https://www.texasobserver.org/the-fall-of-hope-rising/
Michelle Wright Rhame was a believer in the work of Hope Rising, helping foster young victims of sex trafficking. But things changed rapidly after one of her foster kids was served alcohol at a fundraiser for the organization. https://www.texasobserver.org/the-fall-of-hope-rising/

“To ban #books simply because they have a hardcover or they’re used is just trying to solve a problem that may exist in prison by finding the easiest target. And the easiest target they can find is to change the rules for what books can come in.” https://www.texasobserver.org/prison-crackdown-reading-access-profile/
