That’s one of the questions. Well, now we see, even when some Democrats seem to be taking a stand, they barely are. She’s a hera

She needs a cease and desist order from a judge. She still has rights.

Guys, you can call this what it is. This continued pussyfooting around reality for the sake of assuaging screeching apes who believe injecting bleach is a valid medical procedure is what has gotten us to this point. Grow a fucking pair (ovaries or testies) and lead us with active rhetoric.

Why the fuck is she the only one who refused to go along with this bullshit?! Where are the other Democrats?!

This isn’t some kind of fucking record to be broken. The Texas legislation is forcing police escorts on elected officials. No urgency in this fucking party

What happened with the other Democratic legislators? Did they sign off and have escorts or is she the only one because she’s black? I missed some of the story, it seems.

same.

Apparently the others accepted the draconian conditions for whatever reasons.

You don’t seem sure. Is there an article saying that?

Well, they aren't in the room with her, so... What other explanation is there?

Just saw another Black, female Texas Democratic Rep talking about her escort. Sad. Compliance with fascism is not the answer.

They are white she is not. That’s one explanation that was in my post. Maybe she’s the only one with all three Texas fascism strikes: Democrat, female, Black.

Why did none of her Democratic colleagues stand with her?
aug 19, 2025, 5:35 pm • 3 0 • view
They have been. They brought her the pillows and blankets and other comfort items. They've been addressing the public and press outside. And some of them are trolling the police escorts.

They wouldn't do this to a White person. Mealy mouthed posts are why we are losing to the worst people

Try writing accurate posts. This sounds like she is volunteering to do this.

I hope she sues Texas’ ass off for violating her civil rights & basically imprisoning her as she broke no laws.

I hope she civilly sues (PERSONALLY) the speaker, Paxton, Patrick and Abbott. I am beyond embarrassed and ashamed of my state. These people are very bad people posing as “Christians”. They are crooks. They kill people by policy. This is not a lie. If she is harmed, they will blame her.
