I appreciate it, Lauri, but you're putting up good stuff at Tres Chicas, and you've earned every link.
As for giving money, maybe one day I'll set up a Grits open records fund, but for now if folks want to support work on the issues Grits is writing about every day, I'd encourage them to join the ACLU of Texas, and help them out when they ask, like with the Harris County action alert posted yesterday. Grits is just a media project. That's where a lot of the important political work on these subjects is happening.
