The Department of Homeland Security had directed the state to stop blocking the U.S. Border Patrol’s access to roughly 2½ miles of the U.S.-Mexico border
Texas is refusing to comply with a cease-and-desist letter from the Biden administration over actions by the state that have impeded U.S. Border Patrol agents from accessing part of the border with Mexico.
In a letter to the Department of Homeland Security, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton rejected the Biden administration’s request for the state to “cease and desist” its takeover of Shelby Park, an epicenter of southwest border illegal immigration in Eagle Pass.
“Because the facts and law side with Texas, the State will continue utilizing its constitutional authority to defend her territory, and I will continue defending those lawful efforts in court,” Paxton wrote.
Just start the civil war already, jeeze.
OR Texas can pull it’s head out of its own asshole.
It’s a long shot, I know.
I won’t hold my breath lol.
Texas sure is lol
They’ve had their heads up their ass for so long that they think their farts are a lovely breeze of fresh air. Now they’re permanently grown into that position; like how your mom said if you tug at your face it’ll stay that way…

Nah, that’s not how we do things in a civilized society.
Right, we just wait until they invite a civil war, lose, and kill themselves when they realize they can’t win, meanwhile countless others suffer during the whole thing. Sounds great.
Jesus Christ thank you. Some of the suggestions here are terrifying.
People who say violence is never the answer are literally the first people to be executed when violence comes to town.
How did we solve world war 2? A monopoly on violence.
Let the Russians deal with it?
It is difficult to imagine how enforcing constitutionally-enshrined federal law will spark a civil war.
Unless you mean these assholes are traitors. At which point it becomes even more important to enforce the rule of law and yeet them out of government.

Fuck it, Texas deserves to be ash then.
Rip the bandage off and get to recovery and repair faster. We’re just slowly decaying and collapsing into fascism right now.

Who says it should be contained? I simply said “Texas deserves to be ash then” - the fallout is acceptable.
We all have to die of something. The fear of death from the left is keeping us from confronting the right wing as needed - they don’t fear death because they have a Heaven or Rapture to save them. Stop worrying about death and face the fascists on their level, or they will dominate by dictating the tempo of action.
Trump is proving that much right now. He has a stronger support base than ever before - because he espouses violent and aggressive rhetoric. Just lean into it and let the cards (or bodies) fall where they may. America likes it that way, it seems.

According to pew research , 40% of Texas is democrat or leans democrat, most can’t leave. 20% aren’t sure. Only 40% or so is hard repub or leans that way.
Nah. Humans have driven 70% of all species to extinction. There’s no species worth saving with that kind of track record. Hopefully earth will find harmony thousands or millions of years after we’re gone!

It’s just another piece of the polycrisis we’re heading towards, with the main force of instability being the climate tipping points we’ve started and continue to trigger.
Check out the limits to growth if you’re interested.

We are heading towards a polycrisis. Many crises simultaneously resulting in, hopefully, the downfall of human beings. America is a bullshit country that will probably have a civil war soon, adding to the polycrisis.
The limits to growth is an analysis of economic and societal trends, that predicted we’re bound for catastrophe around the 2030s, and when it was revisited with updated data, found that we were not only on track for collapse, we were early on certain aspects, not even taking into consideration the climate.
Check it out it’s an interesting read.

Yeah war sucks. Guess what else sucks? America lol. You haven’t figured it out peacefully, so you’re going to have a civil war again. I’m not wishing anything, I’m stating a fact.
