The Texas law prohibiting medically necessary care for transgender youth is SB14. In July of 2023, the ACLU of Texas, ACLU National, Lambda Legal, and Transgender Law Center, along with Scott Douglass & McConnico LLP, and Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer LLP filed a lawsuit challenging SB14.

Oral argument in that case is scheduled before the Texas Supreme Court for Tuesday, January 30th 2024.

One if not only good thing to come out of TF4 Is the spreading of awareness of the "Romeo and Juliet" law that protects pedophiles.

Shane groomed Tessa, there is no goddamn reason an ADULT well passed 18 should be with a minor. Just because they met and started dating in highschool. You shouldn't even be dating freshman or sophomores if your a senior. Freshman just got there, still children. Sophomores aren't even half way through the 4 highschool years until the end of that year, also still children. In highschool you shouldn't be dating a freshman if you're a senior, you're an ADULT now, you're a borderline sex offender.

In highschool you shouldn't date anyone that's more then a year apart from you,

- Freshman x Sophomore (still a bit iffy but not more then a year) ✔️

- Sophomore x Junior (less child like, less adult x child) ✔️

- Junior x Senior (only ok because Juniors are only a year below them and are almost the same age) ✔️

- Senior x Freshman (PEDOPHILIA) (That is a full grown person going after a child barely out of middle school, disgusting.) ❌❌❌

THINK ABOUT IT

It's no different from an 8th grader dating a 4-5th grader (13-14 yr olds dating 8-11 yr olds 🤢). Tessa admitted they started dating when she was a sophomore and he was a senior, (Shane was 18 while she was 15).

US court continues to block Texas immigration law

A US appeals court on Tuesday put on hold a Republican-backed Texas law allowing state authorities to arrest and prosecute people suspected of illegally crossing the US-Mexico border.

In a 2-1 decision, a panel of the 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans rejected Texas’ request to allow the law to take effect while the state appeals the decision of the judge who blocked it to an appeals court.

The law, officially called SB4, has become a hot-button issue in a broader fight between Texas and the Biden administration over border security and immigration. It would make it a state crime to illegally enter or re-enter Texas from another country, and give state judges the power to order violators to leave the US, sentencing them to up to 20 years in prison for refusing to comply.

The 5th Circuit panel’s decision was the latest of three hasty rulings on the law’s status. Last week, the Supreme Court allowed it to take effect, but hours later, the 5th Circuit panel reinstated US District Judge David Ezra’s February injunction blocking its enforcement.

For all my fellow Texans and anyone else living in the US.

Don’t think for a second that the unfortunate craziness happening to New Yorkers does not affect you. A bill (technically an amendment) in Texas just got moved to the House and would basically allow landlords/rental companies/properties to evict you in whatever means and will make it harder for cities/states to offer relief or protection.

These companies don’t care and it seems like certain politicians who should be for the people don’t care. If you rent, review your tenant laws and contact your state/city representatives to ensure that your rights are being kept.

I’m not shocked cus this country is insane but the way they sneak these bills through is just—

Texas has become a third world fascist police state ruled by a dystopian big brother government.

[dontmeantobepoliticalbut]

By Tayo Bero

This month, the Texas state parole board unanimously recommended the pardon and release of convicted killer and former US army sergeant Daniel Perry, along with the restoration of his firearm rights. Perry had been working as an Uber driver in July 2020 when he shot and killed Garrett Foster, a white man who was attending a Black Lives Matter protest with his Black fiancee. Perry was later indicted for murder, tried, convicted and sentenced to 25 years in prison by an Austin jury.

Almost a year from the date of his sentencing, Perry’s pardon was granted by Texas Governor Greg Abbott, and he now walks free. As terrifying as the initial incident was, this pardon sends a chilling message: that politically motivated killing is OK, and that politicians are more focused on pandering to political pressure than protecting people’s lives.

During Perry’s trial, it emerged that in the weeks before he killed Foster, he had shared white-supremacist memes and talked about how he “might have to kill a few people” who were demonstrating outside his house in 2020. He also compared the Black Lives Matter movement to “a zoo full of monkeys that are freaking out flinging their shit”. And days into nationwide protests sparked by George Floyd’s murder by a Minneapolis police officer, Perry sent a text message saying: “I might go to Dallas to shoot looters.”

Perry described shooting Foster as an act of self-defense. Yet according to trial testimony about the day Foster died, Perry had seen the predominantly Black group of protesters gathered across the street from him, ran a red light and drove his car right into the middle of the protest. When Foster – who was legally carrying a firearm but had not, according to some eyewitnesses, threatened Perry – approached Perry’s car, he shot him dead and sped away.

In rehashing this horrendous incident, the question on my mind is: how do you justify “pardoning” a person like this? Condemning Perry’s release isn’t about believing in carcerality or wanting to keep people in prisons, mind you; it’s about how we get to this point as a society, whom we grant permission to kill, and how we treat the people involved in a tragedy like this in its aftermath.

Abbott – who rarely issues pardons, and has generally only pardoned low-level, nonviolent offenders – had faced pressure from conservative media figures to grant Perry one. Rightwing pundits like former Fox News host Tucker Carlson and even Texas GOP chair Matt Rinaldi squeezed him publicly about Perry’s conviction. It doesn’t seem like Abbott needed much convincing, though, seeing as he directed the parole board to review Perry’s case just one day after he was convicted.

There’s also the question of how we got here. Foster’s death and his killer’s subsequent pardon are the direct result of a government that’s more beholden to wealthy gun lobbyists than concerned with commonsense legislation that literally saves lives. Foster’s death was, in part, the result of a tragic meeting of Texas’s notoriously loose stand-your-ground self-defense laws, which Perry’s supporters claim he was upholding when he shot Foster, and the state’s “open carry” laws, which Foster was legally exercising when he had his rifle slung over his shoulder during the protest.

Alan Bean, the executive director of the Texas-based civil rights advocacy group Friends of Justice, summed up the implications of Perry’s case succinctly.

“If one guy with a gun feels threatened by another guy with a gun, murder is permissible. If both men felt threatened, the resulting tragedy would technically be ruled a no-fault double-homicide,” he wrote after news of the pardon went public.

Even Texas police aren’t blind to the ways that open-carry laws are exceptionally dangerous and nonsensical. “We were completely opposed to ‘license to carry’ because anytime there’s more guns, there’s a problem,” Ray Hunt, executive director of the Houston police officers’ union, said back in 2021.

If there was any doubt that Abbott doesn’t care how problematic these laws are, even after what happened to Foster, consider that he used his pardon announcement to reaffirm that “Texas has one of the strongest ‘stand your ground’ laws of self-defense that cannot be nullified by a jury or a progressive district attorney”.

These are scary words to hear from your elected official after a tragedy that could have been avoided with better gun laws. Abbott continues to signal to gun-toting rightwingers that they can go around murdering people they don’t agree with, and that they will have the full force of the law to back them up.

Foster’s mother, Sheila, spoke to the New York Times after the pardon, and her words are haunting in their truth. “It doesn’t make sense,” she said over the phone. “It seems like this is some kind of a political circus and it’s costing me my life.”

US Supreme Court rejects Biden’s request to block Texas migrant law

A federal appeals court has again blocked enforcement of a Texas law that allowed the state to arrest and deport people who enter the country illegally, according to Bloomberg.

The three-judge panel began hearing late Tuesday night after the Supreme Court sent the case back to the New Orleans-based 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals. However, the failure to resolve the issue with Texas state officials led to confusion at the border and drew sharp criticism from immigrant rights groups and some Mexican officials.

After the Supreme Court denied the Biden administration’s request, the appeals court scheduled a new hearing for Wednesday morning. However, the panel later lifted the temporary suspension the court had placed on the order issued by the first-stage judge blocking enforcement of the measure, without explanation.
