(Texas Monthly) One hundred and seventy-six years have passed since Texas called itself an independent republic. But to hear Daniel Miller, president of the Texas Nationalist Movement (TNM), tell it, “Texit,” the campaign to sever the Lone Star State from the United States, has never been so fashionably on-trend. “Given the ridiculous circus coming out of Washington, D.C., the number of people who at least want a chance to vote on it increases every day,” Miller told me over the phone in September. “We tell our volunteers that independence is not a hope, a wish, or a dream—it’s an inevitability. The only thing we’re debating is the timeline.”
Miller—who speaks with the friendly, authoritative twang you’d hear from a radio DJ at a big country music station—cited some developments that give him and other Texit advocates hope. In June, he noted, the Republican Party of Texas added a plank to its platform at its annual convention calling for a voter referendum on “whether or not the State of Texas should reassert its status as an independent nation.” And during the 2021 legislative session,…Read the rest

(Texian Partisan) One of the favorite arguments of the establishment is that Texit supporters are “fringe,” and our movement doesn’t represent a majority. New polling by SurveyUSA shows the opposite: voters support Texit now!
According to a newly released poll by SurveyUSA, a top-rated pollster, 66% of likely Texas voters want Texas to withdraw from the union and “become an independent country.”
The poll was conducted in eight states, including Texas, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, South Carolina, Florida, New Hampshire, and Hawaii. There were 4375 respondents, with 625 from each state surveyed. The sample was reflective of overall average US demographics, with proportional representation according to race, gender, and political affiliation.
Let’s break down the Texas results. The first substantial question was, “Would you support Texas peacefully becoming an independent country along with other conservative states? Or not?”
Support for exiting the union polled highest in Texas, with regular voters showing 66% support and voters who vote only in presidential elections showing 63%. Even when non-voters were included,…Read the rest

(Texian Partisan) On November 8, the U.S. will hold its midterm elections, while Texas voters will head to the polls to elect state and local officials. For many Texans, even with the passage of new voting legislation/Senate Bill 1 (SB1) in 2021, election integrity remains a point of concern.
In just over one month, voters in Texas will cast their ballots for seven statewide positions: governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, land commissioner, agriculture commissioner, comptroller and a Railroad Commission seat. Additionally, Texans are slated to elect officials for district-based congressional and legislative offices, the State Board of Education, and judicial seats.
Election Integrity is a Non-Partisan Issue in Texas
The issue of election integrity is not a partisan one. As part of its 2022 platform, the Republican Party of Texas (see Fair Elections Procedures) states the group’s support for “The constitutional authority of state legislatures to regulate voting.” Additionally, the 2022 platform of the Texas Democratic Party… Read the rest

America’s New Secession Movements Aren’t a Crime
In New Hampshire and California, separatist movements are getting fierce blowback. But charging proponents with insurrection isn’t the answer.

(Bloomberg) Secession, of all things, is back in the news. Residents of San Bernardino County, the largest in California, are debating whether to try to break off and form a state of their own. And there’s more: Last month, a New Hampshire electoral commission refused to bar from the ballot legislators who want their state to leave the US entirely. A citizens’ group had charged the legislators, absurdly, with insurrection.
Secession movements are nothing new, and punishing their advocates is a dreadful idea. Their causes are complex and, almost always, point to problems that should be taken seriously.

TNM Hosts Webinar “Global Exit & the Americas”

(Texial Partisan) Over the past 75 years, there has been an explosion of self-governing independent nations around the world. The mainstream narrative is that self-determination is a phenomenon that is reserved for people “over there.” Texans know that just isn’t true.

Thomas Knapp: How would a ‘national divorce’ work?

(Argus Observer) Late last year, U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., ran a Twitter poll asking her followers to weigh in on a "national divorce between "Republican" and "Democratic" states (since her Twitter account has since been suspended, I’m relying on reportage from the New York Post to describe it). The non-scientific results: 43% favored said "national divorce," 48% opposed it, 9% pronounced themselves undecided.
The "national divorce" talk has only increased since then, and of course there’s nothing new about the concept. As you may recall from high school history classes, hundreds of thousands died in a war over the last attempt at such a thing in the mid-19th century.
I’ve got nothing against secession as such. If people don’t want to remain affiliated with a polity, they should be free to exit the relationship. In fact, the namesake of the media center I write for, William Lloyd Garrison, encouraged NORTHERN secession…Read the rest

Massachusetts Dems react after DeSantis transports migrants into ritzy Martha’s Vineyard: ‘Evil and inhumane’
One local representative called the action ‘evil and inhumane’ but said the migrants were taken care of

(FOX) Lawmakers in Massachusetts were tasked with caring for dozens of migrants Wednesday after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis sent two planes full of migrants to Martha’s Vineyard, a ritzy island located in Dukes County.
On Wednesday, Democratic lawmakers voiced their criticism online after they were forced to act swiftly to provide them shelter, food, blankets and other necessities to the 50 migrants who now reside in their state.
Rep. Dylan Fernandes, a local lawmaker who represents Martha’s Vineyard as well as Falmouth, Nantucket and Gosnold, said on social media that he was part of the logistical effort to welcome the migrants, which he claimed DeSantis sent "to gain cheap political points."
"Pulling into Martha’s Vineyard right now. An island that welcomes immigrants and is stronger and more vibrant because of them," he wrote in a series of tweets… (Sure they do. Welcome to Diversity! – DD)
