    Further personal/professional news: I am now the Editor-in-Chief of the @TexasObserver. My entire journalism career has taken place here, as I've learned from all who've come & gone from this little magazine. Thank you to all the colleagues & sources who helped me along the way

    Personal/professional news: Effective today, I am the Interim Editor-in-Chief of the @TexasObserver. For now, this is a three-month position. This comes on the heels of losing three editorial staff as the Observer invests in its business team.

    Yesterday, families from Uvalde marched from the Texas Capitol to the Governor's Mansion carrying an altar, demanding "21 por 21" -- increasing the age-of-purchase for assault rifles to 21 in honor of the 21 lives lost at Robb Elementary on May 24:

    Nothing to see here. Just the federal government suing *an orphanage* for the right to survey its property, in preparation to build Trump's border wall, during a global pandemic

    Ok y'all, if you haven't seen many stories from me lately, it's because I've been working really hard on this piece. It's about a man named Antelmo Ramirez, who died working on Tesla's Gigafactory construction site, and the American issues he represents:
