boycotting his music or whatever won’t do much, the only real impact can be accomplished if we boycotted the zionist corporation but that’s never gonna happen bc no one will give up buying tickets to other concerts
I usually don't comment on politicians' posts. Making an exception for a timeline. Dates and quotes only.
2022:
- @KenPaxtonTX tells the Supreme Court "The University of Texas was wrong" to use race in admissions
- @tedcruz leads a brief signed by @JohnCornyn and 80 other Republicans: race-conscious admissions "inflict a heavy toll on Asian-American students"
2023:
- @GregAbbott_TX signs a ban on DEI offices at state universities
- The Supreme Court rules their way. UT stops considering race
Since then:
- Texas law auto-admits the top of every high school class by rank, as it has since 1997; this year, the cutoff is the top 5%
- 90% of freshmen must be Texans by law
- 4% of undergrads are international per @UTAustin's 2025-26 Common Data Set
9/13/2026:
- @bofrench, Republican nominee for Railroad Commissioner, posts a photo of South Asian students at UT and calls it "the problem"
- As of writing this post, two students in the photo have spoken to reporters. Both are US citizens
9/14/2026:
- Asked about it on the Mark Davis Show, French says letting UT administrators "select their preferred groups of people" is racism
- His fix - "prioritize Americans"
Race-blind admissions were requested and delivered. Changing who is in that photo would require bringing back affirmative action, which the Cruz-Cornyn brief called "unconstitutional on its face" and French even said letting UT administrators "select their preferred groups of people" is racism

Thanks to @vedantnair__ for inspiring me to post
The people responsible for doxxing the lone black juror in the Lindsay Clancey case should be fired and prosecuted. I also hope he sues the judicial system cus now he’s being harassed and his life is in danger.
That white man viscerally felt a Black man strangling a water bottle was a more of a violent act than a white woman strangling her kids.
That juror interview showed in real time why there are disproportionate conviction rates.
I saw a post that said:
“I think being forced to be hyper independent as a child has caused me to be irrationally angry with any adult who needs their hand held through anything they do.”
And I felt that in my soul.
