This is probably the largest number of people I’ve seen in San Antonio City Council chambers. Today the council is receiving a briefing from SAPD on its cooperation with federal agencies, including immigration and customs enforcement.

The directive from Abbott doesn’t specifically mention rainbow crosswalks but said Texans expect their taxpayer dollars to be used wisely and not used to advance political agendas on Texas roadways. Read More👉 ebx.sh/OxHDdi

It’s less than 10 minutes until the polls close. I’m at the Rolando Pablos campaign. Supporters of Pablos are beginning to enter the watch party. @texaspublicradio.bsky.social

Listen. I know there ain’t no way a Public Safety Alert was just issued to tell people about I-35 being closed. They should use the alert when it’s actually open.

Someone in our statewide news meeting today said very casually: “It’s gonna be May.” I’d like to thank Austin’s KUT in advance for putting NSYNC in my head all day.

Is anyone else getting an absurd amount of religious reels on Facebook featuring AI Jesus? … or other fake reels showing false images of the entirety LA on fire? It’s every reel I’ve even seen two Jesuses fighting each other. One of them was an evil Jesus. I’m so confused. Here’s an example:

Yesterday I attended a BlueSky ONA webinar that included a member of the Bsky team. The takeaway I valued the most was knowing bluesky does not deprioritize posts with links. All posts are treated the same. Other platforms have throttled links, so it’s refreshing to know they’re seen here.
