“You have to get dressed and come back out to the lobby … The doctor will explain more … but we can’t even give you a consultation today.” A Texas abortion clinic ceased abortions immediately after the decision. Then, they had to tell the patients. texastribune.org/2022/06/25/tex…

We lost two legends today. Bill Russell and Nichelle Nichols broke new ground in their respective games. “I was opposed to racism being part of the atmosphere but I did what I thought I could do to help change it, or at least expose it.” - Bill Russell loc.gov/item/201566918…

ugh, just so much love for the entire Louisville media ecosystem today. Not only for covering months of protests in 2020, but for years of documenting this department’s shortcomings (often in the face of direct contradictions and criticism from the agency.)

Texas politicians would have you believe this is the most pro-life state in the nation. But after one young woman “chose life,” she found little help for her and her family. My latest with Jinitzail Hernández Ilana Panich-Linsman for Texas Tribune texastribune.org/2023/03/09/eas…

STAR REPORTER OF THE YEAR 3A 1st Place: Tony Plohetski, Austin American-Statesman 2nd Place: Julian Gill, Houston Chronicle 3rd Place: Nichole Manna, Fort Worth Star-Telegram Honorable Mention: Eleanor Klibanoff, Texas Tribune #tme23

I feel like I have leveled up as a reporter in the last 18 months, just from working in proximity to (and trying to keep up with) the intimidatingly talented Texas press corps. So it’s such an honor to be anywhere near this list!

Congratulations to Caroline Klibanoff and her inspiring #CivicSeason project for this great #Us250 honor bestowed by New America.
