Where are all those “Don’t tread on me” people?! Now’s your time douchebags.

This really should be blasted across every news outlet. This is insane.

FFS!!! This is immature and ridiculous. What do Texas Republicans think they are playing at? It's certainly not politics. Bully boy tactics.

Sounds like a tort of False Imprisonment or kidnapping.

I'm sorry 😐, but I thought 🤔 this would be a crime. I thought only law enforcement has arrest and detain powers, and anybody else including a potus would be kidnapping, unlawful imprisonment or something. First immigrants [w/ no due process], now politicians. The rest of us don't stand a chance.

Interesting they locked up the black woman. Kind of makes you wonder what their motivations are. The answer is racism. We have to stop being polite and call this bullshit for what it is.

Here's the thing. When the red and blue states jump in this slope is slipperier than hell. We will be taking the breaks off of any semblance of fairness in redistricting. People dont yet realize this will lead to anarchy. But maybe to save democracy this is what we need...

Repect!!!💙🇺🇸💙

Why would any of them sign the consent? And how is this legal?

Good for her. Is that illegal imprisonment?

She needs to press charges. This was a criminal act. Even in Texas, is it unlawful to stop someone from leaving.

All these big moves have been from people of color...

If the dems need mandatory police protection for 'safety' sounds like the State Capitol needs to be occupied by the national guard.

She is suing over this. Also, other Texas Dem women ripped up their "permission slips" and are holding a "house floor slumber party" which is a brilliant way to show how fucking ridiculous this all is.

There are no good people standing by. That's a myth. Good people don't stand by and watch ever

How about just one more? She's still alone and there's absolutely no fucking excuse for her having to stand alone!

This makes absolutely no sense to me … how is this possible? Not one republican thinks this is absolutely terrifying? Not to mention illegal (I would assume)

Trump has the right—> to a “mandatory police-escort” into a longterm care facility!! Called jail. << Abuser in chief, Swamp Inc ceo. He does any thing to stay out. Get people killed. Pretend to be Jezus. Whipe out factual information. Destruct democracy. To name a few. RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES

Why didn't the other Texas Democrats stand firm with her?

Because to them, it's just a job. Protecting the Constitution and the integrity of governmental bodies is not something they take seriously.

Even after they fled for two weeks across state lines? They couldn't resist for two more days??

I don't think fascism will be beaten by a road trip and a sleepover in a government building.

Each act of resistance matters

It does. It gets more eyes on the issue. I just wish Dems (in general) would actually grow a spine and adhere to their oaths.

Someone explain to me how Texas House Republicans have the authority to do this?

Since when do lawless fascists need any authority beyond 'hurr durr we want to!'

Because no one is able or prepared to stop them.

how about legally?

That's a different question. I seriously doubt there is anything even remotely legal about what they're doing

You forgot "willing".

They don’t. They announce their wishes and expect others to obey without question. Their playbook comes from the Federal playbook. But, D’s must resist, if necessary, by filing lawsuits.

Is she out yet?

I call that kidnapping., cbwrong.blogspot.com/2025/08/trum...

They lock the doors You begin Home Alone-ing the building That’s the Chicago way There’s gotta be race cars and paint cans SOMEWHERE in the rotunda

So how is this not kidnapping?

False imprisonment is a crime, even in texas...

This is kidnapping. She could and should shove the Republicans aside.

Gop kidnapping Dems …

She was the only democratic rep who did, from what I read. 😕

Horrible. This is what tRUMP has done to our county!!!

What's happening in the United States is starting to get scary. I don't know if you all know

Oklahoman Democrats stand with you in this time of Texas tyranny against voters.

Kidnapping?? Detained without reason? I’m ashamed of my state. It is already gerrymandered to the nth degree. This shit won’t stand.

The only difference between Republicans and Democrats is the speed and intensity with which they implement fascism.

"Nothing is more important than stopping fascism, because fascism will stop us all." - Fred Hampton, assassinated by the Chicago PD, Dec. 4 1969. Chairman Fred was just 21 yrs old.

👏

Good for her!

It's just like a bunch of fat, white, Republicans to lock up a black woman for no reason.

How is this legal? I hope she sues. Sounds like false arrest to me.

The Dems should hire mercenaries to free them from the police escort. The new merica is to do whatever the hell you want and dare someone to try to stop you.

Los compañeros de partido de esta mujer son unos cobardes por no quedarse con ella.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍

We must or we lose everything.

Don't mess with Texas! Texas Republicans have already made a proper mess of it.

Kidnapping

I hope her law suit succeeds in bankrupting these despicable so-called leaders of TX.

This is false imprisonment #sue

hay followers of @rpsagainsttrump.bsky.social are you okay with other Republicans locking women up just because they don't want to be escorted home by the police department!!?

Good symbolism. But now: Do. Your. Fucking. Jobs. Remove the #GOPtraitors Start actively backing #TeamUSA

You know what the Brave US Soldiers, known as the Bastards of BASTOGNE, told the Nazis when they wanted US to surrender’NUTS’. The Nazis asks what that meant, they were told it means ‘GO TO HELL’. Tell the fascists’GO TO HELL’.

Crush fascism youtu.be/lw4ZjhOukwU?...

She is an American HERO!

That is kidnapping and they should be prosecuted for it.

Texas is one FU’d up state. TOP to fuk’g bottom.

These actions by Texas Repubs shows how weak and afraid they are. They know their policies are not well received by Texans and are putting on full display their desire to rule, not represent. Was it Mitch Little who said the gerrymandering in good for the party? So its Party over People huh.
