This is really cool. Thank you to @MelanieLawson13 and the great team at @abc13houston for telling the story of my journey from Seguin,Texas to the @PulitzerPrizes. abc13.com/post/houston-c…

We’re supposed to be deporting criminals — not people who are giving far more to this country than they are taking. houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-t…

@patriciohenchan @ZeeToTheHill Refugees are being targeted too. Please read: nbcnews.com/news/us-news/n…

You’re a horrible person. Her dad was a legal immigrant. No one wants to close the door on gold medals. We want people who do not share our values and have no intention of assimilating and didn’t respect our laws removed. You’re the absolute worst of the worst. You conflate heroism with terrorism. And you do it sanctimoniously.

I love Alysa Liu but her dad also deserves a medal. Arthur Liu protested the Chinese Communist Party after Tiananmen. Fled as a political refugee. Came to America in his 20s. Built a career as a lawyer. Raised 5 kids alone. One became an Olympic gold medalist. He is the American Dream. Close the door on stories like his, and you close the door on future gold medals too.

I wanted to share a tragedy with you all. And ask you for help. On Saturday night, my college friend Matt Graham, his wife Regan Cole-Graham and their two young boys were riding bikes in Los Angeles. She was struck by a car and killed. She was also 7 months pregnant with their third child -- a little girl. A @gofundme page has been set up for Matt and the kids. I understand that not everyone is in a financial position to donate. But, if you are, please give what you can to my friend who has had his entire life change in the space of the last 2 days. Thank you. -- Chris gofundme.com/f/support-for-…

"Gender and sexuality are, in fact, contemporary moral issues, and students should engage with what Plato...had to say about them...no amount of cherry-picked readings will turn him into Rush Limbaugh." My latest, on Texas A&M, in the Houston Chronicle: houstonchronicle.com/opinion/outloo…

“And experts said that they never heard of a public school district giving away its curriculum, developed with district experts and tax-payer resources, for free to another school system.” Great reporting by ⁦@nusaiblah⁩ houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-t…

“Anyone can impose mandates, especially with practically a free hand by the state. Only leaders can get others to follow and sustain changes long after the change agent is gone.” Miles’ HISD takeover has major wins — and 1 fatal flaw houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-t… via @houstonchron

HISD’s takeover superintendent Mike Miles is using an unfinished, unvetted curriculum in virtually all of its 274 campuses. houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-t….

Wonderful news! Thank you to the Houston Chronicle Editorial Board for staying on this story. After weeks of heartbreak, a judge answers Maria’s prayers for her son | Editorial houstonchronicle.com/opinion/editor…

Mike Miles says the 'science of reading' justifies limiting books in HISD. Experts say no. houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-t…

So proud to accept the Pulitzer Prize in Editorial Writing alongside my former Houston Chronicle team! Congrats @RajMankad117001 @leahbink and @SLSteinmann !

@jswatz @meganmmenchaca @HoustonISD @HoustonChron Well, you know, the nuance between news stories and opinion columns can be tricky for some.

@meganmmenchaca @HoustonISD @ChronFalkenberg @HoustonChron Devastating critique of an OPINION COLUMN dude

.@HoustonISD Superintendent responds to columnist @ChronFalkenberg’s @HoustonChron article on LinkedIn: “The article contained no nuance, no expert context, no objectivity, no truth, just the thinly disguised opinion of the reporter.” Full response here: linkedin.com/pulse/how-hous…

“We're not losing teachers because they don't like change  —  as Mike Miles often claims. We're losing them because they don't like change that hurts kids.  A curriculum that denies actual books to children cannot be healthy, no matter what the test scores purport to say.”
