Greg Abbott - Gregory Wayne Abbott, former TX AG, now 48th Governor of Texas

Regardless of which "side" anyone is on, the optics of this are horrible. Jackbooted (almost literally) armed thugs lined up against a bunch of college kids.

We've been here before, haven't we?

Yes, and I was just a little kid then.

I just wanted to point out Abbott's lying if he's saying "pro Hamas" when they're anti war. Manipulating public opinion.

Manipulating his language use too:

"Students joining in hate-filled, antisemitic protests at any public college or university"

He's shifted his rhetoric to cover his ass: He started out calling the students pro-Hamas/anti-Israel and has shifted to students just being in the same place with what I'll call agitators. The fascism is strong in this one.

Don't sleep on the fact that Greg Abbott is now deliberately inflicting $32 million dollars in economic damage PER DAY just to make a point about the border. And that's just on the Mexican side. US businesses are being hurt too, likely to similar scale.

EL PASO, Texas (Border Report) – Juarez industry officials say commercial truck delays at El Paso border crossings are costing them up to $32 million a day.

The delays started on Saturday when the Texas Department of Public Safety resumed enhanced safety inspections of all trucks coming across from Mexico at the Ysleta port of entry and the Bridge of the Americas.

Trucks waiting up to 8 hours to cross from Juarez to El Paso as Texas DPS resumes enhanced safety inspections at Ysleta port of entry. Commercial ports in Tornillo, Texas, and Santa Teresa, N.M., implement expanded inspections hours.
