More people should be talking about the utter freak that is Stephen Miller and his white nationalist worldview. He's the architect behind most of this chaos as Trump is golfing, falling asleep during meetings, making money of memecoins and tripping while climbing stairs.

"They are waving flags of foreign countries and assaulting police officers" Assaulting law enforcement with American, Confederate, and MAGA flags will get you a pardon though.

This literally goes back to the French Revolution. The Right insisted that all unrest was fomented by elite actors, and were still insisting that was the truth, right through the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It was still a dominant narrative when George Rudé wrote to counter it in the 1950s.

To be fair it's easy to be vindicated when your commitment is "the border Gestapo are evil and should not exist" Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

There's a person on Twitter who for years ended every single tweet, easily thousands of them, with "Moreover, lCE must be abolished" and I've never seen someone so vindicated in their commitment

NEW: Texas lawmakers are ordering all sheriff's offices to seek federal collaboration agreements with ICE. Those agreements may be limited to jailhouses—or they may convert deputies into roving immigration agents. 🧵 texasobserver.org/legislature-... w/ @gusbova.bsky.social

BREAKING: Texas lawmakers passed S.B. 37, which dramatically increases state control of public universities. Allowing politically appointed bureaucrats to police curricula and override faculty expertise is a direct threat to academic freedom in Texas.

😢SB37 is heading to the Governor’s desk. We fought hard against this bill, which dramatically increases state control over Texas public universities. It’s slightly improved, but don’t believe the bill’s supporters when they say it won’t lead to a brain drain. www.texastribune.org/2025/05/24/t...

The Austin storm was bad. Just took a walk. Not a screen spared in the whole block. Most plants gone. The wind knocked down small trees and broke big ones. Saw three wooden fences down. Lost count of busted windows. All mine survived. Hope y’all are safe!

A fascinating view of a isolated supercell racing across Texas yesterday evening. The storm brought damaging winds and large hail to the city of Austin.

It's a hail storm summer in Austin. It was 100 degrees just a few days ago. I'm sure this has nothing to do with global warming.
