ICYMI: Hey #jasonaldean ....here's what you get in a small town, racist dude.

Per @tristansnell : They did try it in a small town.....And 376 officers waited 74 minutes to confront 1 guy with an AR-15.

@repswalwell response to Tristin is all of us: "DAMN"

Earlier this week: The families of #Uvalde survivors have made the three-hour drive to #Austin during the legislative session again, and again, reports Senior Staff Writer @gusbova.

Just out: The #Texas Legislature lived down to its reputation in its 88th session, as revealed by the staff of the Observer in this wrap-up from @josephinelee, Kit @oconnell, @gusbova, @justinmiller and Michelle Pitcher.

Among the biggest losers were taxpayers, teachers, #trans youths, and anyone who uses electricity. https://www.texasobserver.org/88th-session-texas-legislature-lgbtq-energy-schools/

One year later
#uvalde

A crowd gathered Wednesday evening to mark one year since our state's worst school shooting. Staff Writer @gusbova takes us to the vigil and looks at what changed, and what hasn't, since an 18-year-old opened fire at Robb Elementary School:

Today marks one year since the #MassShooting at Robb Elementary in #Uvalde, Texas. Earlier this month, I wrote about my concern that a bill to raise the minimum age limit for buying semi-automatic weapons would not be effective in preventing further #SchoolShootings:

And indeed, after initial committee approval, that Uvalde bill has failed to move forward:

#GunControl is not enough. We need #GunAbolition.

A reminder of the children whose lives were lost in #Uvalde one year ago. There will be no content warning. We failed and are continuing to fail them.

It's been one year since the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in #Uvalde. The people of that town are still seeking justice.

From the archives: A town's tragedy awakens memories of a history of civil rights #activism in the southwest #Texas town in @gusbova's investigation.
