it's not about the weed, it's about making more excuses to detain/arrest/murder brown people
It has been all along.

True, but they DO still like denying fun to themselves and their same-race underlings as well.
this combined with them really pushing to make recording the police a felony
Ding
Not a full ding ding ding, but a bit of ding
It's definitely about the brown people, but it's also about religious control over people. Soon buggery will be prohibited for some bullshit reason, divorce will be outlawed again so that Texas finally finally can get back to its racist roots of the 1800's. All we need then is some good ol' slavery to finish it all off
Sodomy/buggery is technically still illegal in Texas
It’s unenforceable because the Supreme Court overturned the states ability to enforce the law but they’ve still never removed the laws. The last attempt was in 2023 and failed. They have arguably fought to protect the laws on the books for a time like now, when they could challenge and overturn the 2003 decision made in Lawrence v Texas and suddenly reenact all of those laws at once without having to re establish a legal framework once a sympathetic supreme court opens the floodgates for homophobia
May I introduce you to the Texas Prison System? They clean our highways, do hard labor, work for our universities doing landscaping,
yep, that's why they're trying to swap the meanings of "education" and "indoctrination"-- accuse schools of "liberal indoctrination" and take over all the boards so they can force their own "education" which is literally the textbook definition of indoctrination
from the party of "god gave us free will!!!" which is also the party of "you will believe in jesus or else"
Religious piousness is the excuse, it’s the cover story. You don’t really think those mega church pastors believe what they say and then fly around in golden jets do you? It’s about the power they have over people.
EDIT: after reading you comment more carefully, yes we agree
Buggery is anal penetration of an animal.
to be exact, to fill up those 70+ for profit prisons in texas.
Legalized weed makes everything safer, crime goes down, people are dealing with addiction less, drinking even goes down, all of these things are terrible for the police
