Incredible story from my bestie @mirandadunlap.bsky.social in @wisconsinwatch.org about the teens running a community newspaper in Pulaski, Wisconsin. And the photos were all shot on Portra 800 film, and they look beautiful.

Houston Community College cancelled its yearly study abroad trip.

Instead of 10 days in London, students will spend 4 days in San Antonio.

In a recording I obtained, leaders said they nixed it partly due to fears about the Trump’s recent immigration crackdown.

Sharon Brown wants the bayou behind her North Forest home to stop flooding. She also wants her local Houston Community College campus to grow.

As it turns out, residents in the northeast Houston community can’t have both.

My colleagues @annacat.bsky.social, @paulcobler.bsky.social & @lexigraceparra.bsky.social did a beautiful job telling the human story behind a narrative that had become fiercely political
After the death of her daughter, Jocelyn, Alexis Nungaray became an unlikely anti-immigration crusader for President-elect Donald Trump and Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz’s campaigns. But outside of the spotlight, she mourns alone to keep Jocelyn's memory alive.

Houston Community College could soon change its name — and drop the word “community.”

Leaders say it could lessen stigma and help students get better jobs after graduation.
