Trump’s executive orders aren’t laws, but if everyone in Texas, from the whiny student to the dean to the TAMU President to the governor, acts like they are, then what’s the difference? He’s bootstrapping new (and unconstitutional) laws.

“Gov. Greg Abbott urged Texas A&M to fire the professor seen in the video because they acted “contrary to Texas law,” although he did not say which law the professor had violated.”
Could that be because the prof didn’t violate any TX (or federal) law? 🤔

The birthday book is clear: there was a cabal of rich, powerful people (mostly men) whose fondest memories with Jeffrey Epstein involved trafficking young girls for sex—trading them like baseball cards—and one of them is the current American president. You’re cool with this or you’re not. That’s it.

The lack of mainstream coverage of regular huge protests reminds me of a talk from a Twitter employees who explained that they had to drop BLM off the Trending Tags section because otherwise it would have been there permanently. The modern media environment has no appetite for sustained movements.

It was just block after block of people coming from Malcolm X Park headed downtown. Lots of energy despite the heat, and cheers from passersby, as well as church bells ringing in support.

I wish people would stop blaming COVID mitigation policies for the acceleration of right wing extremism, and instead acknowledge the fact that we endured a mass casualty and mass disabling event that was mismanaged by narcissistic authoritarians who shifted the blame to marginalized communities

Soldiers in MRAPs rolling around Union Station—blocks from the Capitol—seems silly, performative, and useless.
But it raises a much darker question:
What would Trump have done on Jan. 6, 2021 if he had possessed then the kind of control over local law enforcement that he seeks to acquire today?
