Today, as we honor Dr. King’s legacy and the accomplishments of the civil rights movement, we face the most racist president in nearly a century. He claims the civil rights movement left white people “very badly treated” while systematically undermining federal civil rights divisions.

There is simply no world in which this clothing choice is a coincidence.

The photo, whose credit is unknown, shows Gregory Bovino, the Border Patrol commander wearing a Nazi-style coat. The picture is black and white, echoing the haunting photos taken in the Nazi ghettos. The racist fuck has a tight skin face with spiked up black hair and he is clasping his hands. He stands as an eternal reminder that we all must, at every available opportunity, punch Nazis in the face. Cunt.

*Mall cops* get fired for being on their phone when shit’s going down. Posting footage showing that that they did whatever they did because some woman was being a ‘fucking bitch?’ Yikes. *Real cops* are put on leave ‘pending an investigation’ when they kill someone, even if ‘it’s fine.’

Yes. If you ever think banks should be allowed to cut off financial services for "morality" reasons, just note that neither Epstein's pedophilia, nor Miller's Nazism, nor RFK Jr's eugenics, nor Musk's destruction of USAID caused banks any "moral" concerns whatsoever.

While Republicans spewed lies about No Kings Day, designed to discourage participation, millions of Americans peacefully and safely made their voices heard against harmful Trump-GOP policies. Austin, like many cities across the country, had zero arrests, zero violence.

ICE has increased its spending on weapons by 700% since Trump took office. You read that right — SEVEN HUNDRED PERCENT. Trump is building his own personal military to terrorize American cities, trample on civil rights, and intimidate his opponents.

In 2024, I wrote a story for Texas Monthly about Michelle Haas, whose complaints resulted in the removal of books about slavery from historic Texas slave plantations. Haas sued us, alleging defamation, and was represented by the preferred lawyer of billionaire J.P. Bryan. Today, we won on appeal.

The header of the appeals court decision:

NUMBER 13-25-00005-CV

COURT OF APPEALS

THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS

The conclusion of the appeals court decision, which states: The trial court's judgment is reversed. We remand the cause to the trial court with

instructions to (1) grant appellants' TCPA motion to dismiss, (2) award court costs and reasonable attorney's fees to appellants in accordance with the statute, (3) consider whether to assess sanctions against Haas in accordance with the statute. See TEX. Civ. PRAC. & REM. CODE ANN. § 27.009(a).

If they have nothing to hide they have nothing to fear… 📌 California lawmakers just passed SB 627, the “No Secret Police Act,” which would make it illegal for law enforcement to hide their identities while on duty in the state.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone. Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care. The system is broken.
