Texas Democrats have tried this before

Each time they caved-and Republicans gerrymandered the state more and more

Now the Democrats must do whatever it takes to stop the GOP’s corruption

With the DNC and major Democratic donors backing them-completely

Our entire democracy just might be at stake

Texas Democrats are getting into Good Trouble! Thank you, Texas Democrats!

Thank Texas Dems

The Texas GOP's redistricting plan is a DIRECT ATTACK on voting rights! Thousands have testified against it, but Abbott & Co. are pushing forward.

Dem lawmakers are risking arrest & fines to stop this betrayal. social.demcast.com/s/NIRfhgBi

Texas House Minority Leader Gene Wu: "Texans deserve leaders who fight for them, not politicians chasing power."

The nation is watching as Texas Republicans attempt to steal the election before it even happens, gerrymandering congressional districts to tip the balance of power in their favor.

Thank Texas Dems

It's not just blue states vs. red states - it's EVERYONE vs. the Trump takeover!

Texas Dems are showing courage in the reddest of red districts, fighting for democracy and voting rights.

Thank you Texas Dems!

Texas Democrats leave the state to block vote on redrawn House map backed by Trump Texas Democrats are leaving the state in an attempt to prevent a vote on new congressional maps that Republicans hope will net them additional U.S. House seats.

Oh, shit! While I was knocking on doors talking to first time voters in my Precinct, Texas Democrats found their spines and walked the fuck out of the Special Sesh. #txlege apnews.com/article/texa...

🔥 “You see me? Look here. Bye.” 🔥

Rep. Ramon Romero Jr. just torched Trump’s rigged redistricting scheme and walked out with Texas Democrats to stop a racist, power-hungry map designed to silence voters.

“We didn’t start this fight—Donald Trump did.”

Now they’re fighting back.
Stand with them.

Amazing starter pack from one of the best! @malena.bsky.social is a legend in the resistance and a truly kind soul. Hit that follow all button!

Texas Democrats to Leave State to Block G.O.P. From Redrawing Political Map

www.nytimes.com/2025/08/03/u...

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
BRAVO TEXAS

Democratic members of the Texas House of Representatives said they are leaving today
This means they will be able not have a quorum to vote on the Texas Redistricting Maps

The vote was set for tomorrow

Thank you! Stay safe and continue with the fight!

My Democratic colleagues and I just left the state of Texas to break quorum and stop Trump’s redistricting power grab.

Trump is trying to rig the midterm elections right before our eyes. But first he’ll have to come through us.

It’s time to fight back.

🚨 Texas Democrats just made history.

James Talarico and his colleagues walked out to block a Trump-led power grab.

They didn’t just break quorum—they shattered the authoritarian playbook.
Trump ordered 5 new GOP seats.

Talarico said: Not on our watch.

Our dear friend and colleague has created this inspiring starter pack. It's filled with well informed, dedicated resisters many of whom I am fortunate to be able to call my friends. They've helped me and they'll help you too! All accounts have been pre-vetted by friends whom I know and trust.

Imagine denigrating resources that actively solve our addiction to fossil fuels. Oh that’s right , sadly you don’t have to imagine. Samuel L. Jackson always says the muther-f*cking right thing.

#Sustainability - it’s a beautiful thing.

A woman who pretends to care for young vulnerable women, while trying to fill the needs of her sexual predator boyfriend, is worse than the rapist. She used her position of protector to lure girls to be raped. Ghislaine Maxwell needs to serve her 20 years. No pardon. No deal. She deserved 30+ yrs

❤️🥰❤️

Trump fucked up the bombing of IRAN! No way in hell does he get a NOBEL PEACE PRIZE! I knew TRUMP WOULD PAT HIMSELF ON THE BACK AND AGAIN, DEMAND HE GET A NOBEL! Trumps been doing this for a long time b/c OBAMA HAS ONE! It kills Trump! A NETANYAHU recommendation to Nobel is a joke! Piece of shit

🚩 REPUBLICANS cause RECESSIONS 🤯

Meet Kelly Yu

➡️Didn't steal tax dollars, paid taxes
➡️Wasn't illegal, followed asylum laws
➡️Wasn't a criminal, volunteered in her community
➡️Didn't steal jobs, created jobs

What did she do wrong? She messed up on paperwork

Maybe she could pay a fine instead of being torn from her home? 🤷

Some ICE detainees are being forced to perform cheap labor ($0.13/hr), in exchange for very brief phone calls & basic necessities.

Meanwhile...The owners of for-profit detention centers used by ICE are raking in BILLIONS, funneling money back to MAGA-aligned PACS to feed the cycle of corruption.

🚨 PLEASE watch 🚨
Imagine being in your home when these people come in - without a warrant - waving guns around your children, and take your loved one(s). This home footage is real, and while it might not be you now, it will be eventually; unless, you become the enemy.

How many children continue to work at the Mar-a-Lago spa??? What are their actual "duties?" #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

Huh? Some dressing with that word salad?

Kelly Yu is not a criminal. She’s been an active & contributing member of the AZ community for 21 years.
She pays her taxes. She employs people.
Now she’s in ICE custody because she’s not white, & that’s the only reason.
Trump said he was going after gang members & drug dealers. He lied.

Trump’s Efforts to Control Information Echo an Authoritarian Playbook

Countering Trump's falsehoods can feel futile to those who are exhausted by the lies. But, if truth still matters, it MUST be amplified, published, and protected.

Democracy can't endure in the absence of truth. "Anti-democratic, authoritarian leaders know this."
