In this article by Newsweek’s James Bickerton, the launch of our Angelina County group is portrayed as a “major milestone” for the Texas Nationalist Movement—a crucial step as we continue to push for Texan independence. While the piece acknowledges our successful expansion into 60 of Texas’s 254 counties, it casts a shadow by suggesting that the momentum of our movement could falter with Donald Trump’s election and the Republican Party’s control of Congress. However, this overlooks the fact that our cause for self-determination and independence transcends party politics and remains rooted in the enduring spirit of Texians who value self-governance and freedom above all.

Bickerton’s piece also highlights the significance of the event in Lufkin, pointing to the speeches that reinforced our commitment to the principles of self-determination and governance by Texans for Texans. Yet, the article shifts toward skepticism with comments from Joshua Blank, a state politics expert from the University of Texas, who dismisses the feasibility of Texas achieving independence. Such perspectives conveniently ignore the increasing disillusionment of many Texans with a federal system that consistently fails to serve the interests of our people.

As we look forward, the focus remains on mobilizing support for a referendum on Texan independence, regardless of past legislative setbacks. The article mentions our ongoing efforts to formalize a bill for this cause—an endeavor that has seen support in the past and will again, as the demand for Texas to reclaim its independence gains traction across the state. While other states like California explore similar paths, the article subtly downplays the uniqueness and legitimacy of our movement. The Texas Nationalist Movement is not merely a reactionary group; it embodies a legitimate struggle for a future where Texans can once again be the masters of their own destiny, free from external dictates.
