Another @TexasTribune Festival is in the books — and it was a big success. Great speakers, bold ideas, compelling conversations. And we raised a lot of money through sponsorships and ticket sales to pay for the public service journalism Texas needs more than ever #txlege
@TexasTribune It also was — still is — our fall membership drive week. We had big goals for new member sign-ups, renewals, and of course $$. @kass_kell @bobbycblanchard have killed it. We’re almost there. Thirteen hours to go. We need all good folks who care about Texas to step up #txlege
@TexasTribune @kass_kell @bobbycblanchard I’m a broken record at this point, but indulge me: Our job at the Tribune is to enable thoughtful and productive citizenship through our journalism. That’s what we said we’d do twelve years ago when we launched, and it’s what we’re still doing — better than ever #txlege

Three times this year — in the regular legislative session and in two subsequent special sessions — legislation targeting transgender student athletes sailed through the Senate and then faltered in the House. #TXlege
We reported in May on how the GOP's slate of bills targeting transgender children took a mental health toll on the community: bit.ly/3CN4ykf
