Texas A& I in the 70's established Mexican American studies. TAMUK just announced they were going to establish what had already been.
With an outbreak of canine influenza being reported in central Texas, AVMA President Dr. Lori Teller joined Texas Standard to answer questions on the minds of dog owners:
Feeding Texas CEO Celia Cole joined Texas Standard this week to discuss our network's legislative priorities for 2023.
“Texans everywhere are struggling with the rising cost of food. But for people living on a limited income, it’s become that much harder for them to stretch their dollars,” Cole said.
Lawmakers must take action to support Texans facing hunger!
I’m on Texas Standard today talking about what big numbers of layoffs at Amazon, Meta and other companies says about the state of the tech industry and recession worries
Texas has spent more than $2 million on a public safety app since 2018. How much is it used?
From our statewide news partner Texas Standard:
A recent archaeological survey in West Texas is revealing new information on the Porvenir Massacre.
In 1918, ranchers and the Texas Rangers massacred 15 Mexican-American men and boys in a remote village on the Texas-Mexico border.
Now new findings — like military cartridge casings and bullets — suggest the U.S. Army had a larger involvement in the massacre than previously known. | via Texas Standard
A native of Pakistan, Salman Bhojani emigrated to Texas in his teens and worked his way up through various jobs. Now, the Democrat is set to represent House District 92.
From the Texas Standard:
In January 1918, there was a massacre at a small village along the border called Porvenir. The massacre was largely lost to history until the past decade, as scholars and relatives of those killed have tried to figure out what exactly happened. A recent archaeological discovery shows there is more to the story.
From the Texas Standard:
The W.F. Strong segment on today's program was disturbing. He said that all Texas had in 1850 was "citizens with grit". That's far from true: they had lots and lots of slaves, made legal by the Texas "revolution". Every time those "founding fathers" are glorified, think about the black backs they broke to create the state.
This week on Texas Standard: what the hell is "Mastodon" and why are Twitter users fleeing for it? What you need to know here:
One election story you did not cover. The last Republican on the Dallas County Commissioners Court lost his seat. There are now no elected Republicans in Dallas County government.
Mitigating climate change is by far the most important issue in the world but isn't even listed as an important issue to voters. In spite of historic droughts, wildfires, hurricanes, floods, rising sea levels and overwhelming scientific evidence, climate change isn't even a political priority. Humans and many other species are leaning over the brink of disaster and yet most Americans are still in denial! We must wake up or we and our children are all going down!
Today on Texas Standard: "Elon Musk’s Twitter takeover's ruffled some feathers, to put it mildly. He's fired half the staff, teased unpopular new fees and … keeps posting. Now, many Twitter users are looking for an alternative. Omar Gallaga talks to us about Mastodon, a Twitter alternative that is starting to attract some notable names. What is it and how close is it to old-school Twitter?"
(I'll post the audio when it's up later today)
There was a longer line to checkout at the Aldi than there was at the polls. When Texas shows it's lowest turnout in 8 years - in a critical election year - I'm so disappointed in the lack of civic involvement.
The same can be said about the line at the library so I can't say that I'm surprised.
