Last week, Harris County District Attorney Patricia Lykos asked Attorney General Greg Abbott for some advice.

Now, the county's running out...
Lead editorial in The New York Times this morning -- "If Roe v Wade Goes" -- got me thinking: Let's say the Romney/Ryan ticket wins. How long will it take for Texas to make abortion illegal? See also: Rambo Romney Should Call for Restarting the Draft Romney used to support...
The Living Plaza project, the temporary installation of people, food and miscellanea in front of City Hall, has been breathing life into the desolate concrete wasteland at 1500 Marilla for more than a year now. It's fueled by the type of creative energy one doesn't expect from the great edifice...

NBC5. Note: Jump to the :35 mark for the dancing. First, a question: why do people in leadership positions in Dallas feel its a good idea to dance in public? Because it's not. You would think they would have learned that after this video, which was apparently so embarrassing it...

In his filmmaking debut, journalist David France assembles a thoroughly reported chronicle of ACT UP's most vital era, from the direct-action group's founding in 1987 (six years into the AIDS epidemic) through 1995.
