I leave the political games to the ones of you who are setting up your campaigns to run for these new seats, another power grab on the backs of Black representation.”

Gina Intheburg 🇺🇦 🌻 🥥🌴#TexasDems who returned to the #Texas legislature have been required to sign a form consenting to being monitored 24/7 by a cop. Democratic state Rep. Nicole Collier from Fort Worth refused & she's not being allowed to leave the Capitol til she signs.
Is an agreement signed under duress eg threat of captivity legal?
I don't think so.
“We can’t just let a systemic assault on Democracy just happen and stand by..This precious democracy that we’ve got is not a given. It requires us to fight for it. To stand up for it!”
