This week, the Supreme Court sided with federal agents to remove razor wire put in place by Texas along the Rio Grande. The state is using wire and state agents to block Border Patrol from accessing a section of the border in Eagle Pass. Homeland Security is demanding access to the area by Friday, but Gov. Greg Abbott is doubling down. Laura Barrón-López discussed the dispute with Stephen Vladeck.

    I really wish Texans would take a page out of French protestors and just start setting things on fire, spewing trucks full of animal waste all over the unecessarily fancy government buildings, and finally put Abbot and his entire wealthy billionaire grifting affluent family under the guillotine, done all in Minecraft.

      Wouldn’t go over well in the end. “Antifa has started burning cities down, and is using biological weapons against the government. We are taking action against them.”

      We’ve already seen black vans grabbing people in Portland during protests, what do you think will happen when their claims are only mostly baseless, and not completely baseless?

        By that logic, I guess we should all live our lives in fear of the potential backlash of fascists to any social action. Wait, doesn’t that just result in them deciding how we live our lives anyway?

        In Minneapolis they burned a police precinct to the ground and that thing still hasn’t been rebuilt to this day. Resistance is possible.
