I’ve been waiting at the DMV for an hour now, but at least they’re not playing Christmas music. Counting my blessings 😩

I wish people would recognize that being disabled or unhoused is not a moral failing.

So many look down on those in less fortunate situations - yet refuse to acknowledge that they are one bad stroke of luck away from ending up in the same scenario. /4

Just ran across this wet-plate portrait of President Andrew Johnson by Mathew Brady. Hell of a pre-Photoshop retouch job.

The future of journalism is incredibly bleak. An industry already in crisis now faces this + heightened legal threats + the β€œnonprofit killer” bill + tariff-induced cutbacks in household discretionary spending. It’s existential. If you can, please support journalism now, before the worst hits.

The agreed-upon Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law find that the original defense attorney was ineffective for failing to investigate the nature of the relationship, where there was evidence of grooming and sexual assault by the decedent to Stewart.

Stewart was 18 years old when he was convicted of manslaughter and robbery for killing his former 7th-grade music teacher and then robbing him of a VCR. He received a sentence of 20 yrs for manslaughter and 60 yrs for robbery.

Defendant Alvin Stewart cries after learning he will be eligible for bond during his hearing in Judge Karen Sage's 299th District Court in Austin Thursday. Judge Sage ruled Stewart can be released on a $1 bond while the Texas Criminal Court of Appeals determines whether to retry or resentence him.
