Sort of, but no. In theory any state can divide it self into multiple parts and apply to become a new state, congress has to approve. So Texas is no different. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/the-great-divide/
Here she is again. Greene's tweet comes after Jenner was harassed by an attendee at CPAC. A video that shows her insulting Jenner and calling her a "sick freak" went viral online. GOP support & consultants working to elect Jenner for Governor in CA are playing the left’s stupid identity politics game.A game that sells out our faith, family, and freedoms. Stop promoting this man in a dress & NEVER-Trumper.CA Patriots worked too hard & deserve better.— Marjorie Taylor Greene 🇺🇸 (@mtgreenee) July 12, 2021 Tomi Lauren defended her and got a taste of her own medicine as she was reminded of her past tweets. LOL Hearing how some “conservatives” treated @Caitlyn_Jenner at CPAC makes my blood boil. There’s no room for your hate in the America First movement. We believe in freedom and we believe in limited government. The way she chooses to live her personal life harms you in no way!— Tomi Lahren (@TomiLahren) July 12, 2021
Can we lock this thread until there's an example of a Republican suffering any consequences whatsoever for their stupid social media posts
Sooo, won't go to war for the safety of the Capitol Police but it's a def yes for Chik fill A...in a state, that is not even his state. I want everyone in South Carolina and across America to know I have Chick fil-A’s back.I hope we don’t have to, but I will go to war for the principles Chick fil-A stands for. Great food. Great service. Great values. God bless Chick fil-A!— Lindsey Graham (@LindseyGrahamSC) July 14, 2021
It has to be the most banal set of principles I've ever heard of one willing to go to war for. It's up there with 54-40 or fight. It just gets those patriotic juices flowing.
I haven't been following the Notre Dame Chick-Fil-A saga, but I thought that since Notre Dame was Catholic, they would be all over a company that supports performative political stances. I bet Chick-Fil-A is opposed to abortion, for example. But I guess it's the LBGTQ thing that has a subset of Notre Dame students protesting? Aren't they outnumbered by Notre Dame students who are Catholic and therefore don't give a shit about LGBTQ people? But anyways, I was looking at Notre Dame's response where they said that they're going to allow the Chick-Fil-A on campus. Part of the statement was the following: Current popular concepts Modern Market, Starbucks, Au Bon Pain (ABP), Garbanzo, and Taco Bell will remain core components of the campus dining experience. Is this a thing now? Universities are partnering with fast food chains or fast casual restaurants to provide meals for their students? Is this common? Back in my day, we ate at the dining hall - there was one for freshmen and then one in each "residential college" (dorm / house) for the upperclassmen. You could go and eat with a friend in their college but you'd have to show your dining plan card so their college could get paid by your college. And there wasn't any third party running the dining halls. Now, Notre Dame has deals with Taco Bell and Chick-Fil-A? Is this normal? It sounds like something out of Idiocracy to me. I'm wondering if this is a sign of the increasing corporate influence on our culture which I wasn't paying enough attention to.
How sure are you of that? In the 70's my school had dining halls too; the independent ones were in fact operated by a third party corporation, even though most of the students did not realize that... one outfit lost their contract with the school-- not for quality (which sucked,) but for going over budget and needing a bailout from the school-- after freshman year, and the next one was much worse...
I teach at a small Catholc college that has an active LGBTQ community. I don't get the feeling that most of the rest of the student body doesn't give a shit about them. If that was the case, I suspect the active and open LGBTQ students and their allies would speak up or leave, or both. And at from what the people I know who teach at Notre Dame tell me, most of the students ate more readily defined by their upper middle class (and hopefully rising) suburban ambitions than by anything recognizable as a religious practice. Which, incidentally, goes a long way toward explaining why the student dining experience is so much different today than when you or I were in college: a consumerist ideology drives pretty much everything.
That's just too bad. MAJOR UPDATE: planned America First rally cancelled. See statement below.#abc7eyewitness #NBCLA #KTLA #KCBS #fox11 pic.twitter.com/RXGfbYeQjp— City of Anaheim (@City_of_Anaheim) July 17, 2021
My alma mater had a Chick-Fil-A in the dining area. Granted it wasn't a full on Chick-Fil-A but still. Also had a partial Zoup in our dining area along with a 2nd rate pizza chain. All of this was in the student center as I didn't live in the dorms.
Pretty much this. My mother briefly considered sending me to Notre Dame Prep, and I never got the reason why (Part of me at 13/14 was a militant atheist). I do know that one of the reasons was prestige and the fact that she too was Catholic educated. Though I was talking to a family friend that briefly considered sending her child to a Catholic prep school, she backed out when one of the school's parents made a comment about her child meeting "the right people." Although if I had choice in the matter, I'd have insisted on a Jesuit education at least.
The people I know who went to Notre Dame are from famlies that identified as Catholic, but weren't necessarily religious. They chose Notre Dame over similalry prestigious universities for cultural reasons.
During my bachelor's and Master's meals were covered by restaurant partners. At two different schools. So...yeah. Anything to cut costs and bring in more money.

My Father in law, a lean lanky logger from Coos Bay Oregon with no religious affiliation, went to ND in the 30s. Got himself a basketball and football scholarship. Different I know but I had to get it in
