Sue my state and the people behind this into the ground if you have to, democracy should not be sold to gain political favors from the president and the support of the corporations in your state, or to cement your corrupt power.
thank you.
Well from what I’ve read, gerrymandering is common and perfectly legal in the USA, so good luck with the lawsuit. Probably be 5 years before it makes it to the SCOTUS, and the damage will already have been done.
It doesn’t have to make it all the way to SCOTUS for it to be rendered ineffective. A circuit court judge/panel could issue a ruling that blocks it.
Gerrymandering for the sole purpose of depriving voting rights to racial groups is a direct violation of the 14th amendment.
If you read the text, the plaintiffs are asking for an injunction which would temporarily stop the gerrymander thereby delaying the process and depending on the courts, this would throw a wrench into Abbott’s scheme.
Thank you for all you do, Marc! Keep up all the great work holding these jerks accountable!
You don't play around and thank you for that
I was hoping there was some kind of legal repercussion available. Seriously, as a citizen it just seems like Repubs are steamrolling their evil across the land with nothing to stand in their way. Marc Elias's firm & Gavin Newsom & his campaign staff are the only entities who are fighting back!
Hooray! Happy to be a supporter of a democracy warrior.
Thanks. Let's leave the bluffs to the Pedophile enablers.
Thank you from TX-18
Thank you Marc!
👏💯
Sadly I can’t see this getting past a SCOTUS with its own agenda.
Challenging the misuse of constitutional power is the single most patriotic act a citizen can perform
Wonderful. Will the same thing happening in California, or will we hope that the Texas situation gets settled before we have to take any additional action in California.?
Marc "No Surprises" Elias Thank you
Amen 👏👏✌️✌️
Thank you
Thank you, Marc. 😊💪
Get them Marc!
You go Texas!!
This Texan Thanks You.
Me Too!! You need Help’ Holler’’
👏👏👏
Republicans: cheaters.
Thank goodness for you 👏👏👏😻😻😻
So appreciate you and your Rock Star staff. 💙🩵💙
How sweet will it be if Texas is stymied and CA follows through? 😂😂😂
Are you suing California as well?
Awesome go get them Marc 👏
Go after them, sir!
This is the right thing to do.
Dear @schumer.senate.gov this is how its done. You dont go out and say things like, we will shut the Govt down, and two days later turn face & empower a dictator. Its reason like this that no one should ever listen to you ever again. Marc gets shit done, you serve up platitudes & book tours.
Thank you Marc!
Thank you. 🙏🏾
Thank you to Marc and his team
👍👍👍
Hmm, I know that's right 👍
Thank you for the hard work you do to preserve and protect this democracy. You are an American hero in my eyes.
✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼
Thank you!
As a Texas constituent impacted by these racist maps -- I approve. Sue the bejeezus out of them.
Stomach turning. It’s inconceivable how those people could consider themselves ‘good Christian’s’.
The Bible is full of slavery. They would sell their own daughters for 2 donkeys and 3 foreskins but only if she was a virgin which I assume was a rare thing back then.
Yes, you are right about that. I was raised Catholic in Canada and was taught that racism, the KKK, slavery, etc was an abomination, which it is. I just don’t understand the level of hatred for other human beings. I never will.
Barbaric freaks.
Exactly 💯😱
American first was a throwback to WWII. They were enthralled with what Hitler appeared "capable" of doing. They are the rich businessmen and those who inherit large sums. They are the fascists and still throwing shit....claiming the crime rate in DC was elevated when it is false.
Unfortunately…history shows these were all Democrats…😂
Dixiecrats. Did you flunk 6th grade?
😂😂😂😂
And they flipped parties too, I guess...😆
White men intimidated by black dick
Hope you caught the senate testimony yesterday where the legal ramifications were discussed & went unanswered by the bill's creator. They knew it would be challenged in court - and they know it is racially based. Texans testified but were ignored.
Gerrymandering has obviously created a lot disenfranchised voters in the congressional races. Sad that you support that. 😂😂😂
Go get em Marc, thank you for all you do for Democracy!
Thank you. Here in California we have your back.
Thank you!
Thank you, again!!! 👏❤️😀🇺🇸
While I don’t disagree with the move, it further proves that the only people who benefit from Trump more than the Media are the Lawyers.
Thank you!!
Woo hoo 👊🏼👊🏼
Please sue Indiana, next! Our maps were racist and gerrymandered even before this most recent meddling.
FANTASTIC 👏👏👏👏
Thank you!!!!
Great job
I just became a member. Thank you from the bottom of my democracy believing heart for all of the work you do.
Glad you joined. It's the best $10/month I ever spent.
On behalf of all sane Texans. Thank you.
I agree we must adjust our practices to ensure we have a fair election. Gerrymandering. The Middle Disappears. bsky.app/profile/opsa...
What do you think is gonna happen when it gets tot he Supreme Court? 😒
Thank you so much!
Best wishes and thank you
Thank you! 🙏🏻
texans should be protesting this violation of our constitutional rights-control over who votes & for whom is not freedom to choose
👏
👏🏻✊🏻
Thank you for sticking to your word and doing what you believe in. It seems unconscionably rare these days.
Thank you!
Well done, Marc Elias and group!!! Many thanks from many Texans!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You're always right on top of things Marc, and we are so appreciative. Keep doing your good work. But what use is winning these lawsuits if he's deploying military into our blue cities so he can stop Democrats from voting at all in those areas? We need a lawsuit to stop THIS ASAP.
How will this fair in Texas though?
Oooo the law! Still relying on that broken system of ideas, huh? Seeing what you've seen, you still turn to the law as our lord and savior? Interesting. Dim. But interesting. We should be holding on to something with a scope, not hope.
💪💙 You give me hope.
Thank you sir for your work.
👍💪💪💪
Thank you @marcelias.bsky.social
Thank you!! I’ve not slept for a week due to anxiety. You’re heroes.
Thank you so much for your tireless efforts.
Thank You!!!
Would be fun if TX gets blocked while California pushes through :)
If only SCOTUS cared about racial gerrymandering...
yaaaaay!!!! SCREW TRUMP.
This is so good to see!! I hope it will be tied up in the courts for months!
We're behind you 🙏🙋✊👏✌️
The Shadow Docket has already written a ruling against any lower court. Sitting in Roberts‘ drawer. Just needs some tweaks.
So admire your commitment to democracy! Thank you, Sir!
Thank you
And when it gets to the CORRUPT scotus, the 6 CORRUPT "justices" will say its ok.
Democracy Docket is the BEST!!
Thank you from a Texas D who hates that she has no voice.
Thank you!!
Thank you!!
Fuck, yeah
Oh behalf of democracy, thank you.
Keep up the good work Marc.
Thank you Marc!! 💙💙
Thank you👏👏👏👏💥💥💥💥
Mark EXEMPT on your W4 form on your Hr website today and bankrupt this regime. We don’t have time- stop sending them your money!
Thank you. 💙
Hold 'em...to Constitutional fire. Ongoing thanks to you and your team.
That’s why you’re the go-to! I just hope we all outlive orange pedafriends! Then we can make Vance-dance!
Thank you Marc! Champion of the People and American Patriot.
✊️
Thank you ❤️
Positive action 🎬
Go get em Marc!!
I’m in TX 32 one of the 5 seats they redrew in a big way. Is ridiculously gerrymandered now, but still encompasses urban parts of the DFW metroplex. The new boundary will extend way out to very red east Texas almost to the Louisiana border. Might use TX 32 as an example. bsky.app/profile/wfaa...
Get 'em Mark‼️‼️
GREAT!
I love you & your team so much
Thank you
Thank you for all your work to save the USA from becoming trump's Amerika
Take em down!
It’s a shame that the current administration has no back bone like you have. Bravo !!!!!!!!!!!!
Go Marc!
At what point do we put down subpoenas and pick up rifles?
👍❤️
THANK YOU! not sure where this country would be if it were not for you and your hard work!
Good luck with that.
Will the republicans do the same to California? 🤔
Once again, our nation's future lies in the hands of lawyers. Thank you. I hope all the people who've fought for our freedom get the thanks they deserve.
Not to reply off-topic, but: Can you tell me if it is legal for a US President to deploy states' National Guard units across state lines? Seems to me that this would (should) be illegal.
Thank you, and good luck...
Thank you Marc!
But the Texas judges are all bought & paid for.
Thank you Marc et al!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank You, Now we find out!
When a corrupt President(IQ47) systematically dismantles democratic institutions while enriching himself through foreign bribes and election interference, Robin IQ47 to admit his lies, resign, and move out of the country. Read the first chapter at www.boomlakeproductions.com
Thank you for all you continue to do to save our democracy
Nothing will j Happen
Paid subscriber here. I am very supportive of any suits against this action. What they have done - after already gerrymandering - it’s mind-boggling. Outlandish. It shows how truly radical and racist they are and to what ends they will go to keep power.
Ditto, also a paid subscriber. Marc has his hands full with these rascals and needs all of our support.
🎯‼️ Yes it does. Many like myself were being dissed years ago as “boys crying wolf”. THAT would’ve been a far preferable reality to be dealing with than THIS.
Never Bluff There is always someone out there that will call you on it. Great Work Democracy Docket!! Keep Calling their Bluff!!
👍
It’s about time.
I'm not defending the TX Dems that chose to return to the floor consequently allowing this to pass, but a major reason they returned was because they were told that it's better to have this be challenged in court.
Another reason is that they're severely underpaid and have jobs they couldn't leave any longer without potentially being fired. It's another argument for a UBI, IMO. People need a minimum viable income to live on so that they can make other decisions without having to weigh financial considerations.
Yay. You promised and you delivered.👍👍💯😛😛

Thank you!
❤️ Marc!
So grateful for you.
Thank you! Sounds like their arrogance left them vulnerable, if indeed there is racial (as well as party) animus evident. Give em hell!!
Thank you @marcelias.bsky.social I am grateful for you every day.

Yay... Somebody in law is actually giving af about law, finally🙄 couldn't we have done this BEFORE THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE
Hoping somebody is seeing to Ms Colliers personal comfort and needs.
LFG! #ETTD #FallOfTrump
As a frustrated Texan, THANK YOU.
Thank you for your efforts to save our democracy. But the hits will keep coming from Republicans. I will be donating to your cause.
Hope you prevail, hope the Republicans are held to account, but will not hold by breath. It's Texas.
As a Texas Latina, I thank you.
Your courage, integrity & persistence are appreciated more than you probably know. We need you in this fight! Especially for the kids & grandkids, thank you, from the depths of me.
Good. It should totally be illegal!
Don’t know if anyone else thinks this. I respect and admire you in your efforts and your brilliant work, but not for nothin’… Marc, stop your paywall. I give to Meidas touch because they post and don’t beg. I only go directly to comments when you post. Limited SSA income.
THANK YOU!!
GREAT!

Thank you Marc! Now that they’ve taken care of the flood issue, here come their punitive measures - what R’s do best - punish their constituents!
I kind of want to understand something.. Why wasn't Texas sued before? The gerrymandering of Texas happened back in the 90's with the help of Karl Rove, Bush Jr (Alcoholic drug addict) and several democrats. Why didn't the dems go after them back then? Rove wrote a whole book about it. What gives?
❤️👏💪🇺🇸
THANK YOU 🙏🙏🙏!!!
Can we do a national class action gerrymandering lawsuit since they are basically screwing the nation? I'm no lawyer but the Supreme (Imperial) Court seems to really think those are important now.
If this gerrymandering can be reversed legally, then voters here in CA should vote against our own redistricting in November and continue supporting our current independent commission. However, if the TX power grab holds, we all need to vote in favor of fighting fire with fire.
Considering the ridiculous power tiny populated red states have in your country and the current situation - no. You need to fight the fascism first. If you even get around to having a fair system, then you could do that. Until then, you need to balance the unfairness (racism) in your system.
I’m tempted to agree with you.
Your system is already rigged in favour of the right-wing. You need to "rig" it for the left just to be actually fair. Until you can dismantle the entire racist system and do it right, anyway. Why should there be two Dakotas and two Carolinas with nothing in population compared to CA and NY?
Why don't DC and PR get representation? Your 2 senators for every state, regardless of population, is already messing up your system to a basically impossible to actually represent the majority of the citizens.
You need to fight fire with fire. The Dems can't just sit around and expect the GOP to stop being fascist on their own. That's not going to happen.
The case is going to take too long going through the courts. The special election is in a little over two months, I wouldn't be surprised if the case drags through the courts for years. Independent commissions are a great idea and should be universal once this attack on our democracy is thwarted.
I agree. If there is no resolution by the time the election comes, then we must vote for redistricting. I would like us to gerrymander until we can change it nationally, but the voters here in California were pretty firm about independent commissions. That may change.
This is at best a stop gap. You don't fix political problems with lawsuits. You just kick them down the road and they get worse. The political center has LOST. You need to honestly ask yourselves why and adjust. Hopefully before it's too late.
this Texan thanks you
The voters in the state of Texas did not have a say, but now Marc Elias gives it to them... Texans polled in Feb 2025, 53% of them agreed with that the 'Texas Government Serves as a Good Model," but when the poll was taken before the actual vote for the illegal gerrymandering, their polling for
the same subject had been reduced to 45% It doesn't sound to good for the MAGA legislature and hopefully they will learn when the mid terms come up for a vote! The voters will see they will never listen to them! A convicted felon, rapist and pedophile is more important to them than their voters!
Thank you.
As a Texan I'd like to thank you for this lawsuit. My district flipped blue in 2018 & I don't want to go back to a republican representative.
How lucky. Some of us blue dots are drowning in red with POS Cornyn etc.,
I'm in a Houston district that once belonged to Tom Delay. Then John Culberson. I remember going to a town hall in 2018 with a lot of people who were angry about 45s policies. He thought we were some radical minority of troublemakers but he lost to Lizzie Fletcher. republicans never got over it.
Texas about to be messed with!
Thank You Marc!
Thank You Marc. Always give these traitors Hell.
