Texas isn't red. It's just a non-voting state. ๐Ÿ‘€

โ€œI watched you all & let me tell you, my people, Black people fought too hard for this right to vote. 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.โ€ ~Rep Venton Jones #TexasDems
โ€œThis is about racism! To stand here as a 50 yr old woman to know we now go back in time..โ€ Rep Ann Johnson speaks about the dynamic Barbara Jordan who was a member of the US House of Representatives. The silencing of black & brown voices through the TX GOP map attacks votersโ€™ rights. #TexasDems
โ€œWhere there is no dissent, there is no democracy. That is not just good trouble, thatโ€™s democracy in action.โ€ ~ Sen Sarah Eckhardt โ€œHer resolve matches theirs and thatโ€™s where we need to be as Texas Democrats!โ€ ~Sen Molly Cook Let Rep Collier Out! #RepCollier #TexasDems #TexasResistance

#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.

โ€œWe canโ€™t just let a systemic assault on Democracy just happen and stand by..This precious democracy that weโ€™ve got is not a given. It requires us to fight for it. To stand up for it!โ€ ~Obama speaking to Texas Democrats. #Obama #StandUp #TexasDems
love seeing Dems fighting back more aggressively. I know itโ€™s easy to chide them for not doing enough, but itโ€™s okay to praise them for doing the right thing, too. #TexasDems #redistricting
