New billboards have sprouted in San Francisco and Los Angeles, according to several online sources, including Twitter, Reddit, and the New York Post.
Mysterious new billboards are warning California residents not to move to Texas, as record numbers of residents flee the soft-on-crime Golden State for better quality of life in red states.
“The Texas Miracle died in Uvalde. Don’t move to Texas,” the billboards read, alongside a hooded figure and a crossed-out “Don’t mess with Texas” slogan.
The billboard seems to follow the trend of the anti-gun media and those who wish the population disarmed, of using mass murder to scare people into doing what the politicians want.
While mass school murders, such as those in Uvalde, Texas, are exceedingly rare, the media attempt to make them appear to be everyday occurrences.
Those who wish the population disarmed then try to tie the unpopular policy of disarming the public to safety, as if such a policy would stop mass murder incentivized by the Media.
According to SFGate, one billboard is on the corner of Folsom and 7th in San Francisco.
Some claim the purpose is to demonize Texas and stop the rampant flow of productive people and assets from California to Texas. Tesla and Oracle are two recent examples. People who find freedom attractive might decide the billboard sends them a message of freedom. Others claim the purpose is to keep people who favor gun control from moving to Texas. People who had guns might be deterred from moving to Texas.

They’re right, of course. Don’t move to Texas. There are snakes and scorpions and hurricanes and armadillos and feral hogs and scorching summer days.
And whatever they do, they shouldn’t come to Florida. There are alligators and flying cockroaches and 10,000 spiders per square foot and more hurricanes and panthers and smothering humidity and, of course, Florida Man.
Californians wont even get that joke.
They dont read Twain, cuz waciss.
If one understands how the garden variety yard-sign virtue signaling chardonnay glass swirling proggy leftist thinks, then it’s clear to see how a billboard like this is perfectly manipulative; We need more of them!
All along the southern border, let’s try: “Martha’s Vinyard! Tierra de abundantes para indocumentes imigrantes!”
You forgot about fire ants.
I don’t know who put it up there, but I hope it keeps California nutcases from moving to Texas.
In the early seventies the same was going on in Oregon. Losing battle.
The briar patch is Uncle Remus, and they’re even less likely to have read that.
Time for Texans to put up billboards saying, “Don’t turn Texas into California - vote Republican!”
Personally, I’m all for doing whatever we can to keep californians in california.
I do NOT want any more of them here in Texas.
As a lifelong born and raised Texan, I agree with these billboards warning “Californians” NOT to move to Texas!!
Please don’t!!!!

Texas beaches are thick with seaweed and the Gulf currents dump tons of plastic, too.
The week I visited they were have a shark-fishing contest and the community was cleaning up after a hurricane.
Yep!.... Californians!... Do NOT move to Texas. Keep Californicate Californicate!
Feral pythons, too! :)
Probably Musk.
Yep! Fire ants, too!
