Texas Democrats aren’t running away from anything. They’re fighting, with every tool they have, to save our democracy.

Kudos to each and every one of them for taking this stand. We should be inspired by their courage and reminded that tyranny is only possible if we submit to it.

"America we have a problem. The largest democracy in the world and yet a Texas governor would bend a knee to Donald Trump because he's afraid to lose an election fair and square."

But Texas Dems cannot win this fight alone. Let’s get to work. 👇

Today marks the 60th anniversary of the passage of the Voting Rights Act. The beginning of true democracy in America. A offering to this country paid for by the work, dedication and lives of ordinary Black people.
