Ashley Fairbanks: Buying a thin blue line punisher skull magnet for our car to try to get us safe passage out of Texas if shit hits the fan.

Buying a thin blue line punisher skull magnet for our car to try to get us safe passage out of Texas if shit hits the fan.

don't forget a current Fraternal Order of Police donation sticker.

I had a friend move from East to West Coast and she drove cross country. I got her one of those fish magnets and and American flag stickers for her car. Just in case. Because the Midwest 😬

Shit, it's Oklahoma I hear you gotta really avoid. Had a black coworker or once, very casually, and probably forgetting where she was, point out that Oklahoma is one of those states that you DO NOT stop in. Keep driving, stay on the interstate.

I have one of these. From a distance, it passes. www.etsy.com/listing/1272...

Get a "Thin Bread Crust" flag that honors our brave pizza delivery drivers (who, statistically, are much more risk of injury during their job than cops are)

Also I’m terrified for all my friends in Texas, especially LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC.

We are Mexican and Indigenous and have a queer kid. It’s pretty scary, and I make jokes but I’m legitimately doing this.

No I’m telling all my Texan friends about it. It really is brilliant. And I’m SO FUCKING SORRY. It’s beyond abhorrent.

This is actually a good idea. Like pretending to be zombies. Off to the Winchester we go!

terrifying — and a practical idea

Make sure the flag stripes are long gun silhouettes.

the way i would be butching myself up and learning the most masc texan accent possible

Jesus, I wish this were just a joke. 😞

Honestly when we left Texas 2 yrs ago I considered it an escape. Not kidding.

Really sucks that I didn’t even consider this could be parody

It’s not!

I know, I know (I’m from Georgia)

put something zany on there, like, "if you pull me over i'll kill myself"

There's this organization that gives money to the highway patrol in my state. Every so often you'll see the stickers that say "trooper booster". And that's literally just a license to be able to get away with speeding.

There used to be an absolutely dead-eyed emoji; not sure what happened to it , but I wish it was still around.

Leave now.

Can’t. But thanks.

Was gonna drive our CA plated SUV with SF Giants decals through Nevada to Eagle Idaho for a wedding this August and opted to fly there instead.

“hide amongst them, use their symbols against them” -sun tzu maybe i might also suggest 4 police worker costumes and a big bucket of paint to paint a comedic tunnel for other drivers to drive into lol

Yeah that actually sounds about right.
