  6. When Texas was fertile ground for prison bands

    "[T]he most moving lyrics are about loneliness, heartache and how incarceration strains families."

    “The musicians skated around problems. The officers treated us better. Every song you did on the albums, you’d get $10 for writing it, and if you played at the rodeo, you got $5.”

  7. Dallas residents say they oppose library closures as city considers a regional model 📚

    "A lot of times people have what they call "quiet love" for their library. They think it's really nice and they love it, but they don't really share it," McGovern said. "And we are really asking people to love their library loudly."

  8. Running on faith: The message powering James Talarico’s Democratic win

    "There is an element of compassion that is entirely missed from this world of walls and razor wire and ICE raids we've seen in Minneapolis and across the country. We still need to see how this plays out in November, but I think this would resonate in border counties among Tejanos who have this rich Catholic tradition of social justice."

  9. Here's what Dallas residents have to say about their City Hall

    Ahead of a Dallas City Council vote on the direction of City Hall, residents are speaking up about their opinions over the future of the building.

    "The rush to make a decision includes lots of opportunity for oversights, miscalculations. I've seen nothing that says what the truly allocated cost of relocating a city hall to another building would be."

  13. Prop U is the GOP's sneaky way of tightening city budgets so that we're having to close library branches and other basic services.

  14. Does Democratic win spell trouble for Tarrant County’s GOP?

    Ft. Worth resident James Smith braved the winter weather to vote right when polls opened Saturday at the Summerglen Library. He said he voted for Rehmet because the local GOP is “in shambles.”

    “We need a different change of direction, and until (Republicans) fix their platform, I’m going to vote for people who help the local communities do better for every individual.”

  15. Dallas County DA joins FAFO, a coalition of prosecutors nationwide fighting federal overreach

    He did not realize the acronym had another colloquial connotation. It's also been used online as shorthand for "F- - - - Around and Find Out."

    “If I had known that it probably would’ve given me pause. My purpose is not to be cute, but to be helpful.” 🤦

  17. Dallas suburbs want to ditch DART for 'microtransit' — but that has its own issues 🚋 🚌

    “If you're offering microtransit, you're probably not moving toward wanting to increase a lot of ridership."

  25. Break up the concrete! ⚒️ 🌳

    Dallas is way too hot. The city says less pavement could help cool it down

    "[Impervious surfaces] absorb 95% of the solar energy that hits them, raising the temperature around them. The goal is to encourage developers to incorporate more green space and trees, which cools things down on the ground."

  26. The school shooting industry is worth billions — and it keeps growing

    "I think it preys on people's worst fears. How do you say no to something if you're telling me it might save my kid's life? Of course I want that thing."

    "The challenge right now is that these school safety products, the vast majority, have absolutely no evidence guiding their effectiveness."

  27. Gateway Church congregants, former staff react to Robert Morris sexual abuse allegations

    “This is just the beginning. I wholeheartedly and sadly believe I am not the only victim.”

    “I’m all for redemption, but you can’t have someone that’s a child pedophile be a leader in the church, period. That’s just uncalled for. It’s a complete nightmare.”

  28. Are we surprised that a megachurch would harbor a pastor who sexually abused a 12-year old for decades? Or that this megachurch would host Trump & raise multiple millions of dollars for him? Or that the megachurch would pretend to be surprised today by all this along with the resignation of said pastor?
