I visited the #TCU campus today; I went there for my freshman year of college, and this was my first time back in like 20 years. The campus has changed dramatically—for the better—but is still as beautiful as I remember it.

On #Newstodon Friday, we celebrate the best #journalism in the #Fediverse!
You can ensure your favorite publications stay engaged here—and stay in business—by following, sharing, and supporting.
Today, let's highlight Special Investigative Correspondent @stevanzetti's recent investigations into #extremism:

Libraries in almost every major city in #Texas, and many smaller ones, hosted 'Brave Books' events this weekend, which promoted this extremist publisher's storybooks under the guise of freedom of speech. The events were supported by Citizens Defending Freedom, aka 'Moms for Liberty in Suits' which is simultaneously seeking to ban 100s of books in #FortWorth.

The mass shooting that took place in Fort Worth, is the historically black area of Como. There used to be a fence between the Black and White area on Bryant Irving Road.
I went to school with a lot of the kids from this neighborhood. They were bussed to the white schools in the 5th grade, our school was bussed to them in the 2nd grade. It hurts to see so much senseless gun violence continue.

Mary Kelleher knew she was moving into a floodplain and thought she was prepared.
She wasn't ready for dangerous levels of neglect from the government agency meant to protect her region's #rivers. After Tropical Storm Hermine, she knew she had to take action:

“When I needed help from my elected officials, they looked the other way. I ran for election so no one would have to experience that at the #water district.”
Flooding and bureaucracy drove Mary Kelleher to run for a powerful North #Texas river agency board, reports correspondent James Russell in our magazine: https://www.texasobserver.org/mary-kelleher-tarrant-regional-water-board/
