I know this is technically legal because we're within 100 miles of the coast, but fuck the fuck off and out of here with that. I used to live in the neighborhood above the wall.
ICE, other Federal Police agencies, and local police departments in Texas have started setting up checkpoints on major highways.
This is US Route 59 near Houston.

Fewer than 3 million Texans bothered to vote this week, but that didn’t stop them from rewriting the state’s constitution — again — mostly in ways that make life easier for property owners, business interests, and the already comfortable. ⬇️
‘We Gave Tax Cuts to the Rich and Made Life Sh*t for the Poor.’ Texas Just Passed 17 New Constitutional Amendments.
All told, these new breaks (along with other recent efforts to reduce property taxes), will cost Texas around $50 billion next budget cycle.

Zohran Mamdani polled +40% on men under 30. So we wasted all that time on all those think pieces about how we need a Joe Rogan for the left, when what we actually needed were *policies* for the left.

We are hearing reports of long lines at the West Gray Multiservice Center. Remember, you can vote at ANY polling location in Harris County, and odds are there's one close to home! Find a location near you at harrisvotes.com

LAPD has commanded The Douglas, the nearest bar to Dodger Stadium to turn off the televisions. They are now calling unlawful assembly, though as far as I can tell the only signs of anything are people on the sidewalk. It is the 9th inning.

It's Trans Awareness Month, and I want you to be aware that you are always "Trans enough"
t's ok if you don't feel like you were born in the wrong body.
It's ok if you didn't "always think I was ... X".
It's ok if you're not sure how you'll go forward.
Wherever you are, you're Trans Enough.

Melissa is the worst Atlantic storm you could imagine, and it’s making landfall in Jamaica as I write this. Very few places on the planet have experienced conditions like some portions of Jamaica will in the coming hours. Our thoughts are with the Caribbean. Details below or at theeyewall.com.
