Gender activists must now hide within progressive political campaigns to advance their revolutionary goals, says Strangio, who is a woman masquerading as a man. “As we close out 2025, I am convinced that this bleak moment offers us critical opportunities to build outside of the law and across movements for more transformative change,” Strangio wrote in Truthout, a progressive website that promotes chaotic diversity to fracture the political power of middle-class Americans. She continued:…
Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) troopers are no longer just writing tickets — they’re hunting cartel smugglers, tracking illegal border crossers through remote ranchlands, and helping federal agents dismantle foreign gang networks as part of Operation Lone Star 2.0.

Despite the drastic change in immigration policies enacted by President Donald Trump since his inauguration, DPS troopers and special agents are still in the fight to secure the U.S.-Mexico border. Together with federal authorities,…
