Texas Observer Lives! @TexasObserver

WE DID IT! The Texas Observer will remain open!

Our board voted to rescind both layoffs and the closure. We'll have more news soon, but we believe this is the start of a very positive transformation—and you were made it possible! #TexasNeedsAnObserver!

14. VERY good news. It's loss would have been a victory for the RW propaganda
