it's not about the weed, it's about making more excuses to detain/arrest/murder brown people

[–] Jiggle_Physics@sh.itjust.works 68 points 1 week ago

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

They have to be killed

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,

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

[–] solsangraal@lemmy.zip 1 points 6 days ago

billionaires, and by extension, the lawmakers they own, don't give a rat's ass about the police. police are little people. they just need to be controlled like everyone else. look the other way when they murder minorities, give them fancy swat gear and a tank, and they're happy. are they in danger? who cares? they don't make the policy, they enforce it

As a Canadian, I can't believe how sad the US has become, and they're regressing in freefall mode.

Man, when even weed money can't move past your draconian and shitty religious doctrine. Conservatives are a plague on society's progress.

Texas, you're gonna upset Joe Rogan!

Hey mods, next time you remove a comment for someone calling someone a name, make sure that word isn't the username of the user saying it.

I call people dumbasses so when they see my username of dumbass, they can call me a dumbass in return, I'm the "call someone a dumbass free card".

I think it's funny that I can call Rogan a little bitch (even tho Lemmy doesn't like that word) but calling someone a dumbass for being a dumbass and assuming I'm American in a dumbass way is too far.

Lol you mods are dumbasses.

[–] madcaesar@lemmy.world 45 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Joe Rogan is a piece of shit. He became a multi millionaire in California because of the infrastructure and people of California. Then instead of staying and playing taxes to give a bit back to the community, he took his money and ran to Texas.

A classic fuck you I got mine.

[–] Tiger666@lemmy.ca 43 points 1 week ago (12 children)

That is not why he is a piece of shit.

He is a piece of shit because he is a fascist propagandist. Who cares if he moved money? He enables fascists.

This is why you guys are where you are right now. You have accepted fascism like it's normal.

AMERICANS HAVE NORMALIZED FASCISM BECAUSE OF JOE ROGAN.

May as well get used to the cold weather by moving north since we will have to run to Canada next.

That’s why Trump keeps talking about invading Canada

[–] CtrlAltDefeat@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 week ago

Easier to secede to Canada if you share a border

[–] TacoButtPlug@sh.itjust.works 35 points 1 week ago (10 children)

No way would I encourage anyone from that shitty state to move to my state. Stay there and deal with the mess you made.

[–] CPMSP@midwest.social 1 points 6 days ago

We're still paying for their goddamned Feb '21 weather event on our power bills!

A lot of people don't realize how rigged Texas is, or how recent it's redness is.

The Governor prior to Bush was a Democratic woman. Bush got elected off his name, then got the Presidency. In the Republican bump from that the Republicans got a majority in the Texas legislature for the first time since Reconstruction in 2003, which they used to massively gerrymander the state.

Prior to 2004, the majority of Texas reps.to Congress had never been Republican. Following the 2003 redistricting, it was over 2:1 Republican. They've locked down voting districts and attacked voting rights ever since to maintain their majority, while courting out-of-state conservatives to move to Texas and driving progressives away.

The reality is the Republicans got full control of the state government in a single legitimate election in 2002 and have spent the last 2 decades rigging the system to ensure they never lose that power.

The people of Texas are gerrymandered to oblivion and this is well documented. They didn't vote for this. Billionaires came to Tx and bought the politicians, maga spread through and removed the old style Rs.

Not that I think anyone should try to run from these problems. They should be faced head on. But, it's important to not blame the wrong people.

I’ve got some mates who live in MN and you’re limited to 10mg edibles and drinkables, no regular Delta 9 bud, and weak solvent vape pens (no resin or rosin)

Their shitty republican neighbor state has real bud and more than 10mg consumables…

MN is almost there re:pot, but not quite!

Come to Michigan. Help us go from a swing state to a solid blue, and enjoy some of the cheapest high quality legal weed you can find.

That's just the hemp stuff. They just passed legal weed a couple of years ago and are still setting up the market but we should have dispensaries open this year.

We had a local place near me selling red "make weed gas again" hats. I've been in one time since and it has been completely dead during normally heavy traffic times.

Like these idiots don't know or even cared what they voted for other than "I'm a dude, I can't vote for a woman"

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 29 points 1 week ago (6 children)

make weed gas again

I can't figure out what this means
