Another person killed on I-35 in Austin. This is your annual reminder that fatal crashes on TxDOT roads in Austin are increasing, while City of Austin efforts to increase safety are yielding results. kvue.com/article/news/l…

Make three quick calls this weekend (before Monday at 10) to save Project Connect! Just call these 3 numbers and say (likely on voicemail) that you oppose SB 2519. The state should not override the will of Austin voters for transit! More info: docs.google.com/document/d/1od…

Looks like the Texas state legislature is trying to prevent this with House Bill 146 they are voting on tomorrow. It wouldn’t allow any changes that reduce car lanes on Congress without State Preservation Board Approval Loving all the “small gov’t” the State is forcing on Austin

Did my Project Connect card-dropping rounds at the Capitol this morning. It's an easy way to support transit in Austin! 🛤️ You can do yours on Monday 5/12 or Tuesday 5/13. Instructions here: docs.google.com/document/d/1s9…

NYTimes didn't flag this, but the most consistent increase in police killings since 2020 in this graph is by VEHICLE, currently outpacing all the other non-gun methods. Any idea why this would be? Size? nytimes.com/2025/05/24/us/…

Please call (512) 463-1000 ASAP and ask Speaker Burrows to bring SB 15 (allows smaller lot sizes) as a major state bill! Just did it - it takes 2 seconds.

YES on Prop B - Fair for Houston (@fairforhouston) 's Twitter Profile Photo

Citizens have a responsibility to hold the government accountable to the law. We repeatedly tried to enforce Prop B through good faith negotiations, but the city’s inaction has made it clear that only the courts will compel our elected officials to do their duty. 3/

Public Land Sales Determined Ineligible for Budget Reconciliation Hunters and anglers need to continue to reach out to lawmakers urging them to remove all public land sales from this legislation. We have their attention, and we must see this through 👉trcp.org/action-alert/u…

Watch this! The best explanation I’ve seen about our economy’s dependence on immigrant labor and our dysfunctional pathway to citizenship. #txlege

Drivers age 80+ had more than 6X the death rate of drivers ages 30-49. Legalize mixed-use neighborhoods so seniors aren't forced into deadly traffic. This is fixable!

What would it to take to make Austin's Lady Bird Lake swimmable? 😍🏊 Especially as temperatures rise, this would be of tremendous value to the city!

AI bots have fabricated falsehoods on our sites, published major factual errors and used inappropriate language ... human journalists would face discipline if we made mistakes like this

TxDOT is holding a public meeting at 4:30 TODAY for its first EVER statewide plan for walking and biking. Let's show up and show support!

Most of you know me from transportation, but I also direct UT's prison-ed program and we need your support! Our instructors are volunteers, but we rely on community funds to pay for books and supplies. Our fundraiser goes through the end of August. 💚 give.utexas.edu/texas-prison-e…
