Hey lily, how're you doing with the current "Texas situation"? Because that shit is so fuckin dumb
Greg Abbot is a piece of shit Governor. Literally so many things are going wrong in Texas that I didn't even know what you were referring to. I looked up the news and currently its about the Texas-Mexican Border Dispute. [News Article]
"The fight between Texas and the federal government over the control of the US-Mexico border has further intensified after state governor Greg Abbott announced he will defy the Biden administration and US supreme court by ordering the installation of even more razor wire to deter migration." - Erum Salam, 26 Jan. 2024
Due to this, the Texas authorities actively allowed a woman and her two children to drown in the Rio Grande this month with witnesses. It is disciple to hear such disgusting acts in my state and they are not the only deaths. Many have died from being caught in the barbed wire or shot. Horrific things like this are not uncommon to hear about in these border areas. I do not want to scare people with this information, but I think it is important to understand.
RAICES is a good Texas-based nonprofit to donate for as they provide many free and low-cost services to immigrant children, families, and refugees.

The Sydney-class U.S.S. Jenolan from the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Relics." This vessel was represented on-screen by the executive shuttle model created by Bill George and John Goodson for Star Trek VI after extensive modifications by Greg Jein. The digital images shown here were created by Eaglemoss Publications for the Official Starships Collection.
I've always liked this design. It's very different from a typical Federation starship, yet at the same time looks distinctly Starfleet.

Democratic attorneys general call for federal probe of Greg Abbott pardon | Chron.
By Brooke Kushwaha
Texas Governor Greg Abbott's recent pardon of convicted killer Daniel Perry is now the target of 14 Democratic Attorneys General who are calling on the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate the pardon.
The letter penned by New York Attorney General Letitia James and signed by 13 other Democratic Attorneys General urged U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland to open a civil rights investigation into Perry, who was convicted of murder and later pardoned after killing Garrett Foster at a Black Lives Matter protest in Austin.
Governor Abbott vowed to pardon Foster before he was even convicted last year, citing Texas’ “stand your ground” laws permitting certain instances of armed self-defense if an individual feels threatened. Both Perry and Foster had been armed in the altercation, but Perry fatally shot Foster. Within a year, the governor-appointed Texas parole board recommended Perry’s pardon and Governor Abbott acted swiftly to approve his release. Perry walked free within an hour of the announcement.
In the absence of state intervention, James called on the federal government to bring Perry to justice, characterizing Perry's actions as racially motivated acts of hate.
“The facts of the case were egregious,” James wrote, noting that a jury of 12 had voted to convict Perry of murder after the discovery that he had posted online advocating for vigilante murder of racial justice protestors.
James cited the Dept. of Justice’s history of taking on civil rights cases superseding local and state justice systems, and expressed concern that Texas' "stand your ground" laws as enforced by Abbott could encourage others to commit further acts of violence against protestors.
“At the time of his murder, Garrett Foster was exercising his First Amendment right to protest, as a part of broader protests against police brutality and racial injustice in the summer of 2020,” James wrote. “Texas law does not prevent a federal prosecution for Mr. Perry’s act of killing someone for racial reasons in order to prevent him from exercising constitutional rights.”
Governor Abbott's office did not respond to request for comment.

"What Next?" You Asked ...
Late last night I read Heather Cox Richardson’s daily newsletter, Letters from an American, and the first two paragraphs caused my jaw to drop to the floor.  The lust of some people to turn this nation into an all-white, straight, male-dominated Christian nation has gone too far!!!  I must share that newsletter with you … January 13, 2024 By Heather Cox Richardson 14 January 2024 Last night a…

Donald Trump's White House counsel has been subpoenaed by a federal grand jury investigating efforts to overturn the 2020 election, a source familiar with the matter tells CNN.
The move on such a high-ranking official in Trump's White House marks a significant escalation in the department's probe into the plots to subvert the 2020 election.
Pat Cipollone, who was present for some of the most fraught moments in Trump's West Wing, recently proved a key witnesses in the House Select Committee's investigation into January 6, 2021, signaling that he could hold information the Department is seeking.
The Justice Department is conducting a criminal investigation into the plots to overturn the 2020 presidential election and subvert the peaceful transfer of power. Unlike the House investigation, the Justice Department would be able to bring criminal charges against former Trump administration officials if it chooses.
Cipollone and his attorneys are in discussions about an appearance before the grand jury, including how to deal with executive privilege issues, the source said.
ABC News first reported the subpoena.
He testified last month in a closed-door interview with the House Committee, adding a top voice to the chorus of former Trump aides who testified to the panel that they told the then-President there was no substantial evidence that the election was stolen from him.
In its seventh public hearing, the House Committee played clips of Cipollone's testimony where he agreed with other Trump officials that there was not sufficient evidence of election fraud and said that he believed Trump should have conceded the election.
Rep. Adam Kinzinger, one of the two Republicans serving on the House Panel, said Wednesday that the subpoena is "probably bad" for Trump.
Kinzinger declined to get into details of whether the January 6 Committee and the DOJ are cooperating on Cipollone, but told CNN's Brianna Keilar on "New Day" that the subpoena likely signals that the Justice Department's investigation has a "very deep interest" in what Trump did.
"I hope Pat Cipollone actually just tells the truth. I have no doubt that he hasn't. But there is no reason to protect particularly criminal behavior, what could potentially be criminal behavior behind executive privilege," the Illinois Republican said. "So we'll see where this goes. But there is no doubt that this investigation has developed further along than where we even knew it was or thought it was a few months ago."
Last month, the Justice Department brought two top aides to former Vice President Mike Pence, Marc Short and Greg Jacob, in front of a federal grand jury.
The moves signal that the Justice Department's investigation has reached inside former President Donald Trump's White House and that investigators are looking at conduct directly related to Trump and his closest allies' efforts to overturn his election defeat.

Measuring purely by confirmed kills, the worst mass murderer ever executed by the United States was the white supremacist terrorist Timothy McVeigh. On April 19, 1995, McVeigh detonated a massive bomb at the Murrah federal building in Oklahoma City, killing 168 people, including 19 children. The government killed McVeigh by lethal injection in June 2001. Whatever hesitation a state execution provokes, even over a man such as McVeigh — necessary questions about the legitimacy of killing even an unrepentant soldier of white supremacy — his death provided a measure of closure to the mother of one of his victims. “It’s a period at the end of a sentence,” said Kathleen Treanor, whose 4-year old McVeigh killed.
McVeigh, who in his own psychotic way thought he was saving America, never remotely killed on the scale of Kissinger, the most revered American grand strategist of the second half of the 20th century.
The Yale University historian Greg Grandin, author of the biography Kissinger’s Shadow, estimates that Kissinger’s actions from 1969 through 1976, a period of eight brief years when Kissinger made Richard Nixon’s and then Gerald Ford’s foreign policy as national security adviser and secretary of state, meant the end of between three and four million people. That includes “crimes of commission,” he explained, as in Cambodia and Chile, and omission, like greenlighting Indonesia’s bloodshed in East Timor; Pakistan’s bloodshed in Bangladesh; and the inauguration of an American tradition of using and then abandoning the Kurds.
No infamy will find Kissinger on a day like today. Instead, in a demonstration of why he was able to kill so many people and get away with it, the day of his passage will be a solemn one in Congress and — shamefully, since Kissinger had reporters like CBS’ Marvin Kalb and The New York Times’ Hendrick Smith wiretapped — newsrooms. Kissinger, a refugee from the Nazis who became a pedigreed member of the “Eastern Establishment” Nixon hated, was a practitioner of American greatness, and so the press lionized him as the cold-blooded genius who restored America’s prestige from the agony of Vietnam.
Not once in the half-century that followed Kissinger’s departure from power did the millions the United States killed matter for his reputation, except to confirm a ruthlessness that pundits occasionally find thrilling. America, like every empire, champions its state murderers. The only time I was ever in the same room as Henry Kissinger was at a 2015 national-security conference at West Point. He was surrounded by fawning Army officers and ex-officials basking in the presence of a statesman.

If you put immigrants on a plane or a bus and drive them to a place where they’ve never been, have no relatives, refuse to offer them food or water, don’t speak the language and have no money to live on, and you lie to them about where you’re taking them and what they’ll find there, that’s known as human trafficking. 
Who engages in trafficking: the Governors of the states that colluded to do it. the driver of the bus or pilot and crew of the plane, the person who tells them what’s going to happen, the people who lead them to the bus or plane. 
Will the Department of Justice respond? IDK.

Barcode bracelets on asylum seekers arriving from Texas alarm officials
NEW YORK (WABC) — More buses filled with migrants from Texas were set to arrive in New York City Thursday a day after dozens arrived wearing bracelets with bar codes. City officials said they had heard stories about the bracelets but hadn’t seen them on migrants arriving in New York City until Wednesday. According to the City, officials were alarmed when they discovered that nearly all 237…
