"DALLAS — A now-former manager at the Downtown Dallas location of White Rhino Coffee has gone viral thanks to an Instagram post in which she announced her resignation from the coffee company because she claimed she was told to offer ICE agents discounts.

"Margot Stacy's Thursday morning social media post stirred up a controversy leading to several actions over the span of the last five days. Almost a dozen employees across the local coffee shop chain joined Stacy in quitting. Celebrities voiced their support on social media for her stance. And the company she had worked for until that day has since issued two separate statements in response."

Here in , to the Republicans and the billionaires whose power they entrench, the prospect of the Lone Star State being swept up in a similarly insurgent candidacy still sounds like its own far-fetched fantasy.

But what of our cities? https://www.texasobserver.org/let-a-hundred-mamdanis-bloom/

In February, a Texas Observer investigation revealed the identity of James Rodden, an attorney who operates an openly white supremacist account on X. Last week, Steven Monacelli proved he's back in court trying cases: www.texasobserver.org/ice-prosecutor-racist-account-back-at-immigration-court/

The neo-fascist group Patriot Front is building a network of businesses in North in an attempt to create a parallel, self-sufficient white nationalist economy. The Observer identified the men behind 4 of these companies. https://www.texasobserver.org/revealed-four-businesses-patriot-front-north-texas/

    Hey area folks, I am looking to interview fun/weird , preferably . Students and recent grads with new ideas needing portfolio work? Cool too! As long as you're under a lic .

    I've decided that it's just not feasible for me to try and get out of this late in life (unless the works out). The good states are twice as expensive, and I'd rather subsidize getting my trans daughter and her fiance to a safe state than trying to get a mortgage as an Old. I'm safer here than she is.

    I can't afford to move to the places I want to live, (or won't because ethics, else I'd be in Maui) so if this will be the forever house, I might as well move walls, rip out ugly floors, and do what I really want to do with the space. And have someone with good taste tell me how to make it look like grown ups live here, and not a collective of weird art, bug, and book collectors. :)

    Please pass along recs and links to portfolios! Thanks!

    After we broke the story of the lawyer with a white supremacist X account, no one seems to be able to tell us whether James Rodden still works with the agency. Even Congress can't get answers. https://www.texasobserver.org/ice-white-supremacist-x-account-veasey-answers/

    Despite falling crime rates, leaders at a nonprofit argued Dallas was descending into anarchy to sell voters on increasing police.

    Some residents now fear the push could be used as a playbook for other cities.
