Who Luis Is: Those who know Luis describe him as genuine, hardworking, selfless, honest, dependable and humble. Luis was Sam Houston High School' Class of '24's Valedictorian. Involved in cross country and AVID at Sam Houston HS, he earned multiple scholarships to attend TCU. He is pursuing a double major in Accounting and Business Information Systems at TCU with hopes of one day giving back to his family and community through his education. At TCU, he joined Lamoda Theta Phi Latin Fraternity Inc in Spring 2025, and has served as Chapter Treasurer bringing a consistent, active presence in service to his community. He is known for mentoring and encouraging others to pursue their goals, always putting others first without asking for recognition in return and especially in promoting higher education among Latino youth.
How, exactly, agents got inside encrypted Signal groups that by design aren't supposed to leak beyond their participants remains the case's open wound. Signal's end-to-end encryption protects messages in transit, and the app retains almost no metadata to seize even under a compulsory process. So somebody, somewhere, was already on the inside, as a participant, an informant, or the owner of a compromised device, before any of this could end up formatted as PDFs.
Not your typical politician Meet Ryan Millsap Ryan Millsap isn’t a career politician. Like President Trump, he’s a builder, a businessman, and a battle-tested outsider who has created thousands of jobs, strengthened communities, and stood up for what’s right when it mattered most. As a film studio executive and entrepreneur, Ryan helped fuel Georgia’s booming film industry — investing in people, creating opportunity, and proving what’s possible when the government gets out of the way. When radical left activists — including ANTIFA — targeted his property and attempted to destroy everything he built, Ryan didn’t back down. He stood his ground, defended his rights, and exposed just how far the radical left is willing to go to silence and intimidate those who disagree with them. That moment didn’t just impact his business — it opened his eyes to the broader fight facing every American who believes in law, order, and freedom. Washington insiders have failed Georgia’s families long enough. From weak leadership to endless political games, career politicians have put their interests ahead of the people they’re supposed to serve. Ryan Millsap is stepping up as a political outsider and a proud MAGA warrior to smash the status quo and fight back against the radical left and the RINOs who have lost their way. He’s running to defend the Constitution, protect American families, restore common sense, and stand with President Trump to put America — and Georgia’s 10th Congressional District — first.

Doyle jeered at counterprotesting students by asking, "What is wrong with Christian fascism?" and saying, "I am radicalizing the youth and you can do nothing about it." In another video from that event, Doyle taunts his foes by saying, "You guys better improve your tone because when we and all my friends take power, bad things are going to happen to you." Last Saturday in Dallas, Doyle used his megaphone to call counterprotesters and attendees "faggot" and shouted at parents with young children, "Why do you want to put an axe-wound between your son's legs?" and "You people are the symptom of a dying society." In an interview with Frausun, he said that "being gay is the issue" his group was there to protest and that "Sexually deviant people create more sexually deviant people by getting together and grooming children. That's the only way." In another video captured by local activists, Doyle suggests that Texas sheriffs should enter Mr. Misster "and put bullets in all their heads. They'd be rewarded for it. That's what the badge is for."
I should tell you that my husband doesn’t want me to write this story. Not because he thinks it doesn’t matter, but because he fears it matters too much, to the wrong people, in the wrong way. He has reasons. Two years ago I was doxxed for the first time, while I sat with Liz, Ines, and Savanna on the sixth floor of a Fort Worth courthouse taking notes on the felony trial of an antifascist. The person who set the dox in motion was a self-described "Christian fascist" who has spent years building bridges between elected Republicans and men in swastikas, and who has learned that the surest way to make both groups pay attention is to point at a crowd of queer people and the people defending them and say the word antifa. The arrests that led to that trial happened at a drag brunch in Fort Worth on April 23, 2023, six days before I sat in that community center eating popcorn and writing letters with Ines, Liz, and Savanna. That afternoon, three antifascists were shoved to the ground and arrested while a far-right reporter circled with a camera on a stick, ready to feed footage, charging documents, names and addresses, to a network of extremists who coordinate harassment campaigns. A Christian-nationalist group later sued some of the people who'd shown up to defend the drag show. In the days before the brunch, an anonymous account had asked the Tarrant County district attorney to investigate an "antifa militia" supposedly planning to descend on it. At least two of the people caught in that invented emergency—one arrested at Fort Brewery, one named in the lawsuit—have been arrested in connection with the events at Prairieland. The conspiracy theory workshopped by a handful of local extremists to get a drag show shut down has now been adopted wholesale by the federal government.
On July 4, 2025, a group of people gathered in the dark outside the Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas, and set off fireworks—a noise demonstration meant to carry to the people locked inside. That summer no, less than six months into the second Trump presidency, ICE was detaining people faster than it could house them; Prairieland, built for around five hundred, was running well over capacity. Among the people locked inside that night was Leqaa Kordia, a Palestinian woman from New Jersey who had been arrested at a 2024 Columbia protest against the war in Gaza and then, a year later, detained over an expired student visa—what her lawyers called retaliation for her activism. The government had also accused her of providing "material support" to a terrorist group, pointing to money she'd sent to relatives in Gaza; an immigration judge found no evidence of it. She had been at Prairieland since March, sleeping on the floor of an overcrowded room because there weren't enough beds. She was still there on the Fourth of July-one of the people the noise was meant to reach.

theguardian.com 目 University of Texas at Austin faculty fear changes from new taskforce that could restructure humanities programs Alice Speri Fri 17 Oct 2025 14.44 EDT < Share Faculty at the University of Texas at Austin fear entire academic departments may be on the chopping block after the university quietly appointed a committee charged with studying the restructuring of its liberal arts programs. The university - the largest in the public University of Texas system - has not made any announcements about cuts or restructuring, but faculty there have learned the committee was established earlier this semester and tasked with a review that they believe is focused on ethnic and regional disciplines such as African and African diaspora studies, Mexican American and Latina/o studies, as well as women's and gender studies.

SADIE McKEE » » Joan Crawford, Gene Raymond, Franchot Tone. From the story by Vina Delmar. Direction by Clarence Brown. M-G-M. It is generally conceded that Joan Crawford has ability and that she appeals to many audiences. She is, however, rarely given a story which is not so preposterous and cheaply melodramatic that it is offensive. As Sadie McKee, daughter of a cook, she elopes, is left stranded, marries a debauched millionaire, divorces him for another man and of course, reaches her heights through the usual, “easy” path of cabaret dancer. There is no character development and no moral intended. It offends the intelligence and bores emotionally. Adolescents, 12 to 16 Children, 8 to 12 Very objectionable No

Columbia has always given yon sound values in its silent productions. You'll get even greater values in Columbu Sound Pictures. Our choice of the Western Electric recording and reproducing system (the same as that now being used by Vitaphone and Movietone) is a guarantee of sound quality in Columbia Sound Pictures. Through our foresight in providing sound box-office vehicles for our "Perfect 36," we now possess a number of outstanding stage plays and stories which are admirably suited for reproduction as sound pictures. Among the plays that we are now carefully considering for this purpose are "The Donovan Affair" by Owen Davis; "The Younger Generation," from the play "It Is to Laugh," by Fannie Hurst; "The Fall of Eve," by John Emerson and Anita Loos; "Redemption," by Count Leo Tolstoy. Among the stories on the current season's program available for production as sound pictures are "Acquitted," by Mary Roberts Rinehart, and "Trial Marriage," the Saturday Evening Post serial story by Elizabeth Alexander. Theatre-owners can rest assured that when Columbia finally decides to put a vehicle into production as a sound picture, it will have all the necessary values and qualities to make it a superlative box-office attraction.

Later today, a Dallas publication then incorrectly reported that the City Manager has made a decision on who will be the next police chief for Fort Worth and named a candidate as the new police chief. This is a fabrication, and after multiple attempts of asking the publication to correct its article, the writer has refused.

An Associated Press dispatch from Tokyo reported that Sunday was a day of daze at the headquarters of cne of Japan's largest theater chains. Some 5,000 employes of the Toho Motion Picture and Stage Co. demanded a five-fold wage boost and retirement pay. Toho directors agreed, but balked at workers'^ insistence on a high-cost-of-living bonus. The workers didn't strike. They merely threw open the doors of four of Tokyo's largest film houses and gave free shows at the expense of the boss in his own theaters to win public sympathy.
