The Statesman is too busy with local austerity sensationalism to investigate the link between these headlines. But idk maybe we should tax the *trillionaire Austin resident* who spends his days inciting racist riots abroad so my kids school can have a fucking librarian next year….

If you live in North, Central, or South Austin, today is a great day to go vote for Montserrat Garibay for HD 49. I've known Montse for 20 years as a DREAMer and immigrant rights advocate, a bilingual pre-K teacher, & union leader. Let's elect a bold leader to represent us!

Turning over prisoner transport safety to the notorious corporation that operates the troubled (to say the least) Delaney Hall detention center in NJ doesn't bode well...

Op. Lone Star — the “forever disaster” robbing Texas schools to fund border theater in perpetuity, conditions on the ground be damned

• FOR SUBSCRIBERS
Migrant crossings have plummeted, but funding for Texas Operation Lone Star unlikely to drop
As per the spending plans under consideration in the Legislature, Texas will spend another $6.5 billion on border security over the next two years.
