About time.
About time.
What about Colorado and all the blue states to fight back
We have seen this movie a few times, sometimes it involves the Rangers being sent after them. The Republicans eventually figure out how to move forward
YES!!!!
JB Pritzker you are a hero!
πππ....This is how it's done!... Thank you. J.B. Pritzker, a REAL Leader!! πͺπͺπͺ
Not a fan of billionaires, but JB Pritzker is the real Bruce Wayne.
Awesome!
Now how do we stop this? This will kill free & fair elections as well. bsky.app/profile/last...
The trumpists are starting a gerrymandering war that, hopefully, will lead to a law against it.
Exactly why they are cushioning their odds
So very proud of my governor. Atta boy, J.B.!
So ashamed of mine. F U, Greg
Let's not see TX State Dems repeat the GOP's boycott efforts in Oregon. The state supreme court upheld Measure 113 that prevents lawmakers with 10+ absences from running again for office.

On the one hand, good. On the other, didn't we all get mad and call this underhanded politics when the Republican half of the Oregon house pulled this stunt (for much worse reasons) a couple of years ago? On the gripping hand, they pulled this trick in Oregon a few years ago, so screw'em.
There is no hypocrisy in mimicking the hypocrite of a foe who is known to lie, cheat, and steal at every turn. The next best step for Dems to take is to redistricting every blue state to eliminate all GOP voters' power and stuff the house. There are no rules in war with Nazis like the GOP.
Okay, but we better be making notes that, once this is all over (and we'd better be hoping and planning to get to a day when this is all over), we pass a nationwide federal ban on partisan gerrymandering, along with all the other reforms we gotta make to make sure this crap never happens again.
Or, at the very least, that next time it's gonna have to happen in a different way, because we're not gonna let this crap happen again in the same way. Clarification that the Prez can't disband independent Federal agencies or fire their heads without Congressional approval, for example.
"....without Congressional approval..". Um.. Isn't he already doing all sort of crap that is *supposed* to be approved first by Congress, but isn't? Rules and laws mean nothing to these idiots.
Hence the idea of clarifying it in law, so when they try, there isn't as much wiggle room for the courts to let them get away with it. A lot of constitutional law is more tradition than words-on-a-page, sadly. So let's get some of those words on a page.
They *are* on pages. Lots of them. There *are* laws. Lots of them. THEY. DON'T. CARE.
It's cute that you think Trump's SCOTUS cares about the law
Good job, my people! But note: They Left, not fled
I love that governor so much. He's a fantastic example of a billionaire using his wealth for good. Power and wealth corrupt. While I don't know much about him, I want to believe that he has not let his wealth and power corrupt him. Keep doing the good work, sir.
Texas Dems taking a vacation during a crisis is just Ted Cruzing. Iβll allow it!
Wisconsin did this in 2011...they fled to Illinois! JB is awesome!
Scott Fitzgerald, now in Congress, knew arresting the Democrats was illegal. Then he got advice from James Troupis, who is one of the folks headed for trial in the fake elector scheme. That wasn't legal either. π On Wisconsin! archive.ph/1WcPc #Wisconsin #wipolitics #wisdems #wisgop #WI05
Yeahπ€
Very nice!!! Will it work?
How long can we expect them to stay away from their homes and families though
Im in Texas and that's my question. Plus how long can Abbott push out the special session. And if it does expire could he call another? Good news is the issue continues to get exposure, but seems unlikely it doesn't go through eventually. I pray it doesn't though. π
Technically they could be arrested for this
Arrested?... Come on!... This is a Nation without LAWS Now!... What the Rethuglicans are fucking doing is Unlawful! π€¬π€¬π€¬
This is a nation without laws for repubs and for the wealthy.
I think itβs called Good Trouble?
How did Texas go from Ann Richards to Greg Abbott?
Good question. I was living out of the state when it was taken over. She was amazing, wasnβt she?
Ahhh - I missed Ann immediately π’
All state democrats in red states should flee their states to block republicans redistricting power grabs. It's long past time for them to start fighting fire with fire.
βShutdownβ? Try Delay. Maybe it'll last 1 maybe, 2 weeks. But bringing more attention to it is better then nothing.
Yeah, we need more people that stand up to these hot wheels kind of guys especially if theyβre from Texas a state that has nothing but morons in it and traitors to this country every single one of their Congress people is a traitor, bought paid,miserable human being, fat, overweight, ugly, and old
Yes!

GOOD! Pay back FIRE WITH FIRE! NO SURRENDER!
And No pasarΓ‘n!
Stay on target. Keep fighting front and Center.
Itβs about time we start fighting back like the GOP
