I am so tired of only one side having accountability while the other side shits on the US Constitution. Enough!

Trump's influence is so toxic that Texas Republicans are now scrambling to redraw the maps, desperate to silence voters who are furious with his disastrous agenda. #MessWithTexas

GOP lawmakers are so afraid of being held accountable that they're silencing critics like Isaiah Martin, who was arrested for refusing to yield the microphone during a redistricting hearing. #MessWithTexas

Well did they live together? Because, I mean legally that wouldn’t have been a lie.

Gay men deserve more respect than this. We have fought for everyone and died for people to have rights.

STOP TRUMP'S TEXAS TAKEOVER

Texas Republicans are shamelessly kowtowing to Donald Trump, prioritizing gerrymandering over disaster relief and the needs of Texas voters, a clear sign of their cowardice. #MessWithTexas

Gerrymandering is when politicians choose the voters instead of voters choosing the politicians.

Republicans are redrawing the map to gerrymander House Democrats into oblivion.

Democrats need to fight fire with fire. 🔥🔥🔥

Texas Democrats leave the state to prevent vote on GOP-drawn congressional map | CNN Politics Texas House Democrats left the state Sunday in a desperate bid to block an aggressively partisan redrawing of the state’s congressional map orchestrated by Republicans with the support of President Donald Trump.

This is what real #resistance looks like!
Texas House Democrats leave state to stop GOP redistricting. They deny Republicans quorum, halting legislative business. Thank you Texas House Dems!!

I stand with democracy and Dems.

Texas is changing. POC are driving the state’s explosive growth—so Republicans are rigging the maps to lock in power and erase voices. It’s cheating.

Texas deserves maps that reflect the people, not protect the party. Redistricting should serve voters, not those clinging to power.

Duffy to announce nuclear reactor on the moon This is the first major agency effort by the interim NASA administrator, who is also the Transportation secretary and a former Fox News host.

Sean Duffy, Transportation Secretary, interim NASA chief, and ex-reality star, wants a nuclear reactor on the moon!

We’ve got cement over the Rose Garden, a Qatari jet to fix, and a new White House ballroom.

But help for Americans? Nowhere to be found.

Enough is enough! Republicans have been rigging redistricting for decades!

It's time for blue states to give them a taste of their own medicine and fight fire with fire in order to save our democracy. #MessWithTexas

The people will not be deterred by the GOP's attempts to suppress dissent - we'll continue to organize, protest, and demand that our elected officials prioritize the will of the people.

Republicans have no plans - just voter suppression to steal elections. #MessWithTexas

🎧 Holy Shit! @repjasmine.bsky.social scorched Ken Paxton and brought the FACTS!

Let's stand with TX Dems who know that, "In a majority-minority state, they should have districts that represent The People!!

Cartoon by John Cole.

Trump thought it would be easy to gerrymander Texas in a bid to steal the next election, because cheating is his specialty. "Just a simple redrawing, we pick up five seats," he said.

But TX Dems are saying, FUCK THAT, and I'm absolutely here for it! 🔥

Why a NASA satellite that scientists and farmers rely on may be destroyed on purpose The Trump administration has asked NASA staffers to draw up plans to end at least two satellite missions that measure carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, according to current and former NASA employees.

Just when you think we’ve had enough retribution, Turnip regime takes aim at satellite that measures carbon dioxide and crops. 😳

It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that Donald Trump doesn’t want to release the Epstein list because he knows he is going to be on countless pages of it. His close ties to Epstein have never been a secret, and now he’s trying to avoid having the public know the full scope of that friendship.

graphic for Adelita Grijalva’s candidacy in Arizona’s District 07 special election. The background transitions in a gradient from deep purple to earthy green, evoking a sense of Southwest vibrancy and renewal. At the top, large stylized text reads “Arizona,” followed by smaller text beneath: “District 07.” Midway through the composition, a bold white message states: “Register by Aug 25th: iwillvote.com.” On the right side, a circular photo of Adelita Grijalva is placed prominently, showing her smiling in front of a natural landscape. Below her name—written in large, bold white font—is a tagline: “Lifelong public servant & advocate for Southern AZ.” Smaller text further elaborates: “She has championed progressive causes, focusing on equity, education & environmental protection.” The design balances informative text with a warm, aspirational tone that reflects Grijalva’s community-rooted campaign.

Arizona AZ07 elect Adelita Grijalva!
Tucson native, educator & proven community leader. She’s spent 2 decades building better schools & protecting our environment. As a candidate for Congress she’s dedicated to justice, equity & opportunity for every corner of AZ07
Register by AUG 25TH

All eyes are on TX today. State Dems, in a bid to break a 2/3 quorum and stall GOP efforts to steal 5 leg seats through an extraordinary gerrymander, have largely fled the state. They're using every tool available to them as a minority party. ✊
