I trust the legal consequences are severe for their actions in trying to fuck up our democracy at the ballot box. Remember the woman who was sentenced to 5 years for casting a provisional ballot, she was advised to do by voting officials.
Such power-hungry cheaters. Didn't SCOTUS declare racism doesn't exist and there is now no need to oversee state maps?
They must be held accountable ‼️🤬 #EnoughIsEnough
Obviously.
And……so?
Not just race. Heres an example - the state senate districts. If you know Houston, you know the blue areas are mostly inside the loop in the middle, and it gets redder the farther out from there. Now, do you see any districts inside the loop that don’t stretch way out into red areas? Exactly.

Like no shit.
Bet you suspected such bad behavior. No surprise when this regime lies under oath or otherwise.
Go get em Marc!
Well…..Mon Dieu! Incroyable!
Indicative of the real welfare queens and terrorists we need to worry about, not someone from another country. Pathologically sociopathic
What a shocking surprise. Not.
Gasp!!
"potentially"
Hysterical. It was based on voter registration and districts crazily drawn to make them majority. One drawn like an elk, antlers and all, progressive Austin cut up like a pizza. They're after True Blue urban areas like Dallas and Harris (Houston). Once in power they burrow like ticks.
Shocking. Not.
Thank you for everything you do @marcelias.bsky.social ❤️
Please investigate the gerrymandering in Ohio . The Ohio SC ordered fair districting but the supermajority Republicans ignored. Now the new Ohio SC is predominantly Republican and they are investigating ways to redraw them to further reduce Democratic districts.
It's known as perjured testimony.
Well, duh. Who would EVER believe what they say?
I think bigoted white people are trying to circle their wagons... They feel threatened because of the current political climate has allowed them a longer leash. Now society is pushing them back under the rock. They will not go quietly.
How can you tell a Republican is lying? Their lips move and sound comes out. (Yes, old joke, but it still applies)
Everyone, please keep tabs on this story regarding a presidential recount set to happen.
Kamala got "0 Votes" in Rockland County N.Y., but I'm sure it's just an inexplicable... coincidence. 🙄
Tabulation hack that Elon "bought" for Tump. Why are democrats turning a blind eye to this giant elephant in the room ??
Well what happened?
Abbott and Paxton belong in Guantanamo
Tell us something we didn't know.
Well who would of thunk it. SMH 🤦🏼♀️
Wha....?! They were lying?! Nah....really?
Shocking that Republicans are gerrymandering.
This is my shocked face...
Otherwise, Abbott wouldn't be governor, or Paxton AG or Cruz on vacation as a representative
Let me show you my shocked face since I actually live in Texas
But I don't think I believe anything coming out of TX anymore.
Ah, These non-xian liars. Damned they are. Gigantic a__holes. No doubts here. IMPO, the world community must prepare and be ready soon. To straighten the failed US out. Human rights. Rule of law. Functionning judiciary. Equal rights. And Justice. No corruption. Fair voting. JFC.
Not surprised in the least!
youtu.be/VkY1p75MUMc?...
People falsely testifying in Texas?
Reminiscent of when Republicans regained control of the House in 2003, and Rep Tom Delay (TX) successfully created (gerrymandered) five additional Republican districts and House seats that year, I believe. Note: Gerrymandering was upheld by the 'states rights' Roberts Supreme Court.👎
Shocked, I am completely shocked!
Gerrymander California already!
Texas.
Time to expose all these Republican criminals
They are so full of bullshit in Texas.
And what will that evidence bring? What will change?
A pack of liars protecting a convicted felon. Disgusting and amoral. How does the christofascist MAGA congress explain a Trump administration to its children. Why not stop lying and cheating. Why not face - not even the truth for god's sakes, but - REALITY!
For sure. It’s Abbott whole agenda: Disenfranchise the non-whites.
Nail them to the wall for this, Texas shouldn't be gerrymandered.
Texas Republicans pulled this same mid-decade redistricting bullshit 20 years ago. Anybody remember Tom DeLay?
Yup
👍
There’s real evidence that corroborates this Texas scandal!
youtu.be/5YBa1EPOdo0?...
Shock
Of course they did ... it'll work to their advantage this time. So they're all for a little racial profiling.
Lie, cheat, steal, kill, = MAGA
I live in Texas. This is no surprise. They lie as easily as they breathe
You say potentially? I say deliberately.
It wasn’t potentially false, it was most sincerely false.
👍🐱
Texas is where you go to die. What a horrible state.
Yep. I used to think it was terrific and then I moved to a blue Northern state for a bit. Opened my eyes. Clean, great public schools, etc. TX is decades behind the times and the voters are just abused. The last Dem governor was 30 years ago, despite Texas being heavily purple.
Prosecute!
Of course it wasn’t. It’s Texas!
I'm always amazed that these assholes can find a new way to make me hate them more.
This could so easily backfire that Greg is the best one to put in charge to assure so.
Texas is a pariah state to me. Let them secede.
Secession? Hell no. They can just get the hell out if they wanna go. Maybe tЯump we’ll let them dredge enough material to build an island in the Gulf of “America.”
Let’s fight the fight!
Reeeeeeeeally? Texas has Republicans who would lie to disenfranchise Black, Brown and Democratic voters?
What's next then ?
Things are looking very bleak for America. Republicans have worked hard to give an insane criminal fascist unlimited powers and have attempted to remove all the guard rails that would keep him from unleashing his venomous wrath on our Nation and reign in his hate for liberals and people of color!
Wow, Texas. My heart bleeds for them, but you reap what you sow.
#LOCKTHEMUP
The regime is creating probable cause for tanks and bombs as we speak. They are trying to "win over" the rank & file of the military by staging false-flag operations (see: coordinated, armed strikes against an ICE facility two days ago). It is our number one job to keep our military educated now.
This needs to be repeated every hour of every day. Inform any and all of the servicepeople you know. They must refuse any attack orders.
Potentially?
Exactly. Don't passive voice it. "New evidence indicates witnesses lied" is the correct headline if you still want to have a journalistic-out if it proves to be wrong.
JFC
Texas, get organized! go.bsky.app/VcoYkZK
That has got to be the biggest lie ever told in Texas and all of Texas...it's Texas.
When you have no scruples and you continually lie, reality eventually catches up to you.
How about....I dont know, actual consequences for lying to the court Mmmmkkkkkkkkkk The system is soft as hell on these Christian nationalist racist punks.
Republicans LIE, LIE, LIE while trying to rig elections.
No way???
People in Texas are dealing with unimaginable pain and loss at the moment so you know they thought it was a good time to do this
Get ‘em Marc. No cheating allowed. Then again, it is Republicans so that’s a given.
They Gerrymandered Dallas a long time ago.
They perjured themselves?!
Captain Renault: I'm shocked! Shocked to find that gambling is going on in here. Croupier: Your winnings, sir.
www.tpr.org/government-p...
Republicans can't win unless they cheat.
Potentially?
Of course they did. No one is worried about repercussions because they are following the lead of the Trump administration. The corruption knows no bounds.
Abbott and his cronies genuinely take pride in their corruption. This special session has nothing to do with safety in response to the flood but the election. Honestly these guys in the TX GOP are unfit to coach a HS football team. Here’s a Dem questioning one of them. youtu.be/upYoc29K2Ws?...
Stunned! Absolutely stunned that some Republicans would lie.
That's what they do. All of them do.
Let's have a random computer program draw congressional districts, like civilized, democracy-loving, justice-loving humans would do.
OR they told the truth then, and now it's a ploy to try to cut the GQP some more seats.
Lying liars gonna lie.
These are not honest or trustworthy folks.
Texas has some politicians who need to have houses dropped on them.
“My entire intention is to allow Tarrant County to go from three Republicans, two Democrats on the commissioners court to four Republicans, one Democrat," Commissioner Matt Krause, a Republican, told constituents at a public hearing.
Thankful you are on the case, Marc. Rule of law 😇.
Just stop gerrymandering, and maybe we wouldn't have problems like this. You shouldn't be allowed to pick and choose who your voters are.
Isn't that what gerrymandering usually about? It's never about white folks not voting
Get ‘em Marc!
Git ‘em! 🇺🇸
What a f*ing face! The tRump justice department (now that's an oxymoron) concerned about racial gerrymandering. If you believe that, I heard there is a bridge for sale.
It’s all about race.
Here’s my district map. Does that look like a regular perimeter to you?? Look how it avoids the blue votes from Austin 👀, and skips to west of Austin (where the rich live).
Wow that is shitty.
Looks like a peanut fighting a wolf’s head in profile …
Here’s another Republican District that covers over 300 miles and stretches from the border almost to Austin, Texas (also, not normal).
This is Monica de la Cruz’s District. We are heavily gerrymandered and Abbott plans to turn every Dem district into a Republican one. Courts have done nothing to help us.
Lol.
Looks strange to me and I'm from Canada.
Huh. That looks…
Nazis lied?! Color me shocked 😲 😯 😮
texass 🧑🏼🦽
Dollars to donuts a lot of those same folks would tell you the Civil War was fought without consideration of slavery.
Say it isn’t so. Our mean spirited vindictive crippled Gov is an abomination
No kidding.....like they couldn't bet on that?
Of course they f'ing lied.
TOOLS FOR THE #RESISTANCE - #USA The core issue: removing #AgentOrange #Americans will never rise up & violently overthrow their tyrannical government, so VOTING is key. You don’t have to be on the streets to be a Warrior If you want to stop them, go resistance-toolkit.com/cause/voting/ REPOST
You mean they lie in Texas Noooo
I took a Rorschach test once and every answer was a different district's congressional map.
Texas. dum dum-dum-dumb.
Love the eyes
“A letter sent Monday by DOJ said TX had unconstitutionally used race in drawing 4 of its districts, &urged it to “rectify these race-based considerations.” All 4 districts have minority representatives, & 3 are located in Houston, a Democratic power center” IOW, DOJ order dilute black voting power
It is higher than 4 districts - especially when the GOP already has a “built in” 5-seat advantage, a firewall. If the Dems won their elections, the GOP would still have a 5 seat advantage. Abbott is about to make it 10x worse with his special session.Worst & most corrupt Governor and cronies. Evil.
This is not the time to remain quiet. Change is in the wind. NYC showed us! None of this stops until he’s gone Call your reps every day and GOP leaders 202-224-3121 Don’t give them peace Tell them to remove Trump by impeachment or treason charges Need help use 5calls.org Also, Runforsomething.net
Quelle surprise. Will this actually change things?
US Supreme Court will side with the Racist Republicans especially if Clarence Thomas gets another all expenses paid vacation out of it. Alito will do it for free
Even God doesn’t believe that one.
No one cares about what color you are what race you are what religion you are no one that is all put in your head by the Democrat party if you’re qualified, you’re hired
Shocked!!!!
The fix is in, yet again. This is a one party state illegally. They gerrymandered the map and have for years.
