Whistleblowers need a solid strategy when disclosing information. Using official channels rarely brings wanted change, but it's usually where most concerned employees start.

At @hushlineapp, we're working to build a team around someone disclosing information, potentially pairing them with a lawyer, journalist, filmmaker, or a mental health professional, to help to protect the #whistleblower and their interests.

We've been publishing stories all year related to our 70th anniversary, but today marks the actual date that the Texas Observer published its first issue in 1954, with the top story dedicated to a retail workers' #strike in Port Arthur: https://archives.texasobserver.org/issue/1954/12/13#page=1

Old Texas Observer front page with the headline Shepperd Urges Port Arthur Truce with an accompanying black and white photo showing a smiling woman with sign that says "Employees on strike CIO 1814". Another major headline says Webb County Split By One-Party Rule.


Our top story: Lou Dubose not only edited the Texas Observer but wrote for the publication at a prodigious rate, with a special emphasis on Mexico and Latin America. He was the “the heart of this office” and the publication. https://www.texasobserver.org/the-phones-are-still-ringing/

In “The Interview”: Lou Dubose edited the Observer for longer than anyone before or since. He expanded the publication’s coverage south of the border and later co-authored books with Molly Ivins. https://www.texasobserver.org/the-phones-are-still-ringing/

“When you consider the reduction in the capitol staff of most of the big dailies, who else will write and provide the sort of critical coverage that the Observer does if it disappears? So I really do see a more essential role now. And if there is a change, I think the Observer will have a place in bringing that change about.”

#Republicans Are Already Trying to Grant #Trump Dangerous Powers

Opinion by #HafizRashid
November 15, 2024

"House Republicans are trying to push through a bill that would give President-Elect #DonaldTrump powers as president to designate #nonprofit organizations as '#TerroristSupporting' even after it was seemingly defeated earlier this week.

"The Stop Terror-Financing and Tax Penalties on American Hostages Act #HR9495 would allow the secretary of the treasury the ability to revoke any nonprofit organization’s tax-exempt status by branding it with a terrorism label. Earlier this week, the bill failed to receive the necessary two-thirds majority in the House to advance to the Senate.

"But on Monday, the House Rules Committee plans to hold a hearing that could set up a new vote on the bill, which initially had the support of all but one Republican and 52 Democrats. With the GOP only holding a seven seat majority in the chamber, they would need the support of more Democrats to advance the bill, which was introduced to combat #protests against #Israel’s war on #Gaza.

"Under any circumstances, the bill would threaten #FirstAmendment rights to #FreeSpeech, but after Trump’s election last week, there are now fears that the president-elect could use these new powers to crack down on his enemies with little recourse. Many #universities and #NewsOutlets are nonprofit organizations in addition to #activist groups.

"After the bill’s initial failure on Tuesday, the American Civil Liberties Union [#ACLU] celebrated the rejection of 'new broad and easily abused powers.'

"'The freedom to #dissent without fear of government retribution is a vital part of any well-functioning democracy, and now is not the time to grant the executive branch new powers to investigate and functionally shut down and silence its critics,' said Kia Hamadanchy, senior policy counsel for the ACLU, in a statement.

"Now, the bill could be given a retooling and sent up for a vote again, giving a president who has already threatened to use the #military against his critics even more sweeping powers. The question is if #Democrats will recognize the bill as granting dangerous powers to the presidency, or see it as a chance to clamp down on protesters they have tried to ignore at their peril for the past year.'"

All, 

I can’t tell you that it’s more important than ever right now to support the Observer and other local journalism. I mean, I’d thought Kamala Harris would win a narrow victory and that Trump wouldn’t do a whole lot better in Texas than he did in 2020. In other words, for the moment, I’m out of both the prediction game and the game of even just making confident statements. 

All I can say is that Trump’s explicit plan is to hurt specific people — undocumented immigrants spring first to mind, but they are one of many groups — and many of these people live in Texas. And that the Observer intends to be here, on the ground, exposing these harms as they play out. We did it last time, we plan to do it again, 

I suppose I can also say that investigative journalism, the bulk of what we do, isn’t terribly contingent on politics. Whoever’s in charge, they want to hide things; we dig, and we publish.
