I see Thanos paged it, but I’m putting it here because I once got a BA from the University of Texas at Austin.

UT-Austin removed four statues overnight: Jeff Davis, John H. Reagan (postmaster general of the Confederacy), Albert Sidney Johnston (general of the Confederacy) and James S. Hogg, a son of a Confederate general but also the first native-born governor of Texas. His statue will be relocated elsewhere. (Hogg’s daughter, Miss Ima Hogg, was a well-known philanthropist when I was a girl and teenager.)

I’m kind of stunned. I honestly thought there would be more dithering about this but the current president just went and did it.
