The US will soon begin issuing passports featuring an image of President Donald Trump inside, a State Department official said. https://t.co/pZZr7u9Gp9

Texas is cutting undocumented immigrants off from school, work and driving.

The sweeping rule changes, all enacted outside the typical legislative process, have upended life for noncitizens, including those who are here legally.

Zoox announces their robo-taxi’s officially launching in Austin this week!

Zoox says they will begin in a small area of Austin, and then expand. First rides will go to employees and their families. A waitlist for the general public will open later this year.

Would you get in one of these?

A new Bank of America Institute report says Austin was the top U.S. destination for new movers in 2025, fueled mostly by Texans relocating from other major cities. https://t.co/AwNA55m60f

Greg Abbott is threatening to defund schools over student walkouts due to ICE protests.

Meanwhile, students at Leander High School outside Austin just joined the protests anyway.

Reminder: The First Amendment doesn’t disappear at the schoolhouse door.

You can threaten superintendents all you want.

Students still have the right to speak.
And they’re using it.

NEW: The I-35 northbound frontage road north of Riverside Drive is closing Monday. The closure includes the eastern sidewalk on the bridge.

TxDOT put out this video showing the detour.

"This traffic pattern will remain in place through 2029, weather permitting," TxDOT says.

'Nightmare' British Airways flight to Jamaica turns into three-hour airborne church service

Passengers on the nine-hour Heathrow-Montego Bay flight endured nonstop preaching, singing, chanting and praying from a vocal group just one hour in, with a man standing on his seat and a woman leading clapping in the aisle.

The disruption lasted around three hours despite pleas for quiet, only stopping when crew switched on seatbelt signs to regain control – no alcohol involved, just "high on the godly spirit".

Nurse Maxine Munroe filmed the chaos, sparking viral backlash with many calling it rude and inconsiderate, while others praised the "lovely" worship at 40,000 feet.

What do you think? (this would piss me right off lol)

[UnDo 512 @undo512]

Austin Police Department and ICE working hand in hand, running people off the road and brutally disappearing our neighbors, families, and friends. The “progressive” politicians will tell you they are putting limits on their collaboration but they are lying to you.

🥇Austin snags 4 of Yelp's Top 100 US Restaurants!

Yelp’s Top 100 isn't just for Michelin stars (though there are some) but for the highest consumer reviews!

From high end restaurants to fast-casual spots to food halls, the list does not discriminate!

In Austin, one of my favorite (and my mother-in-law's favorite) Sunday comfort foods was named...

Bird Bird Biscuit! (No. 66) Founded by Brian Batch and Ryan McElroy in June 2018, specializes in gourmet, house-made buttermilk biscuit sandwiches. Be sure to order online before you go, otherwise you could be looking at a 45 min+ wait! @BirdbirdBiscuit

*Throwback photo to their first location where you could eat in!

This next one you will have to search out to find it...

Taqueria De Diez (No. 47) Founded by brothers Raul and Luis Esquer, it was originally launched as a "speakeasy" behind ReyRey bar at 206 Trinity St. in 2024 specializing in Northwest Mexican-style cuisine!

For our Northern Austinites on the edge of Cedar Park, in search of Southern Comfort, this one is for you!

Whip My Soul (No. 62) Established around 2020 by Antonio and Tanika Echols from Chicago transplants brought Chicago-style soul food to Austin, Texas.

Finally rounding out the list (pun intended) belongs actually to an Austin neighbor in Round rock.

Sushi Yume (No. 57) Having only soft-opened in May 2024, Sushi Yume quickly become known for serving premium, chef-driven sushi at affordable prices! The great news is you don't have to wait months for reservations as they don't take reservations! The bad news, it's an intimate restaurant that may have a long wait! (but it's worth it!)

Being black is wild bc people will assume your character and preemptively treat you like shit and then go "you're actually so nice :D" to your face and we're not supposed to feel some type of way about that lol
