The Texas Supreme Court has ruled that Gov. Greg Abbott ® and Attorney General Ken Paxton ® do not have the authority to force the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) to investigate the supportive parents of transgender children.
bare fucking minimum but. thank goodness for it.
Holy shit.
By giving them what's essentially an unpayable ticket, this is just letting them jail the homeless.
these are ALL things that many people in texas have been actively fighting against for almost a full year. there's been a campout in front of atx city hall since late spring in protest of the homeless camp criminalization. the "punishing cities who cut police budgets" is specifically directed at austin which voted to cut police funding by 1/3rd following last year's protests against police brutality. teachers have been outspoken against the education bills, reproductive rights advocates have been talking about the bill against abortion for months now.
for almost a year there have been political protests, movements (eg, stop the sweeps), social media coverage including people warning each other of when police are in certain areas, mutual aid and political organizations (such as little petal alliance), etc etc of ALL these things. there are currently protesters that are in jail or were bailed out of jail by their communities.
don't frame this as "the state just sprung all these on us, wow nobody cared or talked about it" because they didn't spring it up on people, and people were talking and acting. it wasn't hidden either--there is news articles of these things, social media coverage, all of it.
