Hey twitter fam, I hope you share this. I haven't seen my brother since October. He is an addict, and we hoped he was seeking help, but no clinic has him. Panic is setting in. Brandon was last seen in Austin. He is 37 y/o, 5'11 & about 145 lbs. Thanks! #missingperson #atx #atxhiv

Just received this from a records custodian who realized that she accidentally forwarded me her exchange with other people at her state agency about my public record request—an exchange that will help me challenge her denial.

There are 4,477 people confined in the downtown Houston jail right now solely because they can't pay cash. We sued each of the judges responsible for it.

The story is about Lorraine Muñoz, a recently retired judge in L.A., who denied asylum at extremely high rates. For years she was also the nation’s main IJ handling cases from transgender people seeking safety in the U.S., who she misgendered and retraumatized in her court.

YES! Read this important story by an incredibly smart, hard-working, secretly funny, profoundly good person. It just won a Murrow.

Amazing news — this is a story I produced last year about one of the toughest immigration judges in the country. This was years in the making, and so much work from across the @reveal newsroom made it happen. revealnews.org/episodes/tran…

WOOOW. A Canadian research project gave homeless people $7,500 each — the results were 'beautifully surprising'. Turns out: basic income for the homeless pays for itself. It's free money, because 'the project saved the shelter system $8,100 per person'. 'cbc.ca/news/canada/british-c…

Let a local news reporter moderate a debate. I'm talking like, cynicism-poisoned, sits in 7-hour City Council meetings, makes $35,000 before taxes newspaper reporter. Me, let me moderate a debate.

Federal guidelines allow compassionate release for terminally ill prisoners if they do not pose a danger to the community. But in the first three months of the pandemic, wardens denied 98% of requests, including many from medically vulnerable people. bit.ly/2Fbd0l8

When we canvass we usually give a care package to community members we speak to. It consists of 4-5 masks, hand sanitizer and a BLM button. We’ve spoken to over 300 people and our out of hand sanitizer. Please purchase a pack for us 🙏🏿 amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3P…
