The UT Austin protest got very interesting today.
Started with DPS police officers marching onto campus as a column.
Police came armed with batons, over 100 rounds of rifle ammunition each.
A few officers carried teargas launchers and AR-15s.

Clearing the Air: Long COVID Sufferers Call for a Healthier World
Even young, healthy Texans can suffer for years after COVID infections.Kit O'Connell (The Texas Observer)
In Austin, apartment complexes with fire suppression sprinklers are not required to build a window in every bedroom. Natural light is key to human health.
Developers have built thousands of windowless bedrooms in Austin. Now, the city may outlaw them.
University students, along with professors, have advocated for this change, arguing that living in bedrooms without windows is unhealthy.Audrey McGlinchy (KUT)
