Texas fights compensation for prison worker who lost her baby
The seven-months-pregnant officer reported contraction-like pains at work, but said she wasn’t allowed to leave for hours. The anti-abortion state is fighting her lawsuit, in part by saying her fetus didn’t clearly have rights.Jolie McCullough (The Texas Tribune)

For this week's story, we'll share Michelle Pitcher's interview with #prison journalist Jason Walker, who bravely reports on conditions inside even though it puts his life at risk.

If you know anything about prison #journalism, you know both how courageous Jason is, and how hard Michelle had to work to get inside to report this story.

My electric coop has renewable energy rider. For a very small amount of money a month, they must allocate sufficient renewable sources to cover my usage (as well as everyone else who adds the rider).
Cost of the rider is $0.000430 per kWh.
You read the correctly. Under a buck a month. It’s 0.4% (approx) of my bill as I pay approximately $0.10 per kWh
And yet when I told my neighbors about this, nobody responded positively. #Texas
A TX law encouraging private citizens to turn in abortion providers and anyone who helps someone get an abortion starts Sept 1. Someone already created a site for anonymous tips. It would be a shame if it became unusable because of too many false tips. 😉
