  1. After multiple years of republicans doing this in Oregon, it was explained to all of us dum libs that this is totally acceptable.

  2. “Arrest them!” No Big-back Randy, arrest the fucking pedophiles you so fervently campaigned to shoot, you hillbilly John Wick. They’re the ones pulling the strings!

  3. The panic they are showing is sublime. Gerrymandering to gain seats (when not scheduled) shows their desperation. F the Republicans at midterms.

  5. The dude in the picture Briscoe Cane looks like a kiddy diddler.

  6. Wonder where the concept of No Taxation Without Representation comes in? If my vote can’t count, does it mean I don’t have to pay?

  7. And yet the abstainers will still insist the Dems are doing nothing

  9. Stay strong Dems! Super proud of them. Dems in other states should take notice

  10. If they start getting fined, I will pitch in some cash to help them out. F Abbot, Most Repubs, F TRUMP/VANCE AND THE ENTIRE GROUP OF HIS NUTLICKERS. Oh, and the J6’ers too.

  11. What a shame. These re-gerrymandering a holes are a disgrace to Texas and the US. And of course the biggest disgrace is in the White House urging them on trying to protect himself.

  12. Just wait for a natural disaster and the republicans will be fleeing their state too. 

  15. Texas has a part-time legislature, and they are paid $600 a month. Texas dems who are involved are potentially being fined $500 per day and unable to do their regular jobs currently and be with their families. [Powered By People](https://poweredxpeople.org/) is providing them support.

  18. Well done, Democrats! Stay away as long as you can.

  19. Well yeah, you put arrested warrants on them. No wonder they don’t even wanna be in the state, let alone come in any government building.

  22. arrest warrants issued by the republican shitstain governor for democrats when he was completely complicit when his own attorney general fled the state to avoid being subpoenaed. and his republican senator fled the state twice to avoid natural disasters

  23. What?? A texas legislator leaves the state when there’s an urgent problem that needs to be addressed? Unheard of.

  24. It ridiculous, no more house district, just a vote for thr whole state and the seats are distributed by percentage of the state wide vote.

    Allowing this districting nonsense is inviting corruption and manipulation and absolutely nothing about this is democratic.

  26. The problem is that I hear if it’s a nationwide gerrymandering arms race the republicans will probably wind up with more seats. :/ but what else can they do at this point?

  27. Just occupy yourself with checkout items, You will well and truly need all that time. Medical appts midday to get home early. Classes and TAPS can give you a relaxed schedule the ability to pass duties out to others. Navy cool certs to have late starts to days if you want to. Sunset started awhile

  28. Call trump back and tell him to forget about it. TX ain’t for sale!
