just wanted to repeat this for no particular reason 🤷♂️
Romero had a bad day but I am proud that he is captain of my favorite club. I would want someone like him to be my captain.

Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.

Texas A&M claims it has “seamlessly completed” its Spring 2026 course review. That statement is false.
Multiple courses addressing race, gender, and sexuality are still under review with faculty facing pressured to censor well into the semester.
Texans deserve the truth, not spin.

Texas Police Invested Millions in a Shadowy Phone-Tracking Software. They Won’t Say How They’ve Used It.
One sheriff who leads an anti-smuggling task force says the software helps “develop leads to eventually obtain probable cause.” Civil liberties experts say its use violates constitutional rights.
