the supreme court gave biden the power to stop him; i know that he won't, but it's comforting to imagine that he would actually help.

They have a plain clothes police force that show up to places that serve alcohol to find and fine infractions.

Their reputation is such that the gay clubs in austin priority hire retired and moonlighting police because they're able to recognize the other police doing tabc enforcement and warn their managers every time they show up like it's a speak easy during prohibition.

They're on guard for the officers manipulating clueless patrons into violating the liquor laws so that they can fine and then ultimately de-liqour-licensd that bar if it has enough infractions for a period of time. I was a favorite target of theirs and the plain clothes police force of tabc is almost completely unknown outside of austin's gay clubs and bars; or at least not a concern in Texas' gayborhoods outside of austin.

i learned to take my mental health serious while i lived in texas. i kept getting targeted by the tabc and it took a while for me to figure out why i kept getting kicked out of bars for seemingly no reason but then they'd let me come in the next day like nothing happened. the frequent rejections in austin drove me to visit houston, dallas or san antonio every single weekend.

Y’all in such a rush to be so personally offended you aren’t actually caring about what is being said.

clickbait titles are clearly effective at drawing attention, but not enough to get most to read it and i wish there was a way to mitigate their impact
