They left the state to stop a racist gerrymander. Now they're asking the country not to look away. Four members of the Texas Legislative Black Caucus break down what really happened when they took a stand, and what's still at stake. 👉🏽 https://youtu.be/SWgaRPUvzhA #TXLege #AtOurTable
Bonus Episode: Quorum Break with Texas Black Caucus Reps
In this bonus episode, we speak with four members of the Texas Legislative Black Caucus—Vinton Jones, Christian Manuel, Lauren Ashley Simmons, and Charlene Ward Johnson—who fled the state to block a racially driven gerrymander designed to give Republicans five more U.S. House seats at the expense of Black and Latino representation. They describe the personal and safety sacrifices of leaving home as well as the national stakes for democracy. They also call for resources and sustained investment in Texas Democrats, warning that what happens in Texas could shape the entire country’s political future.

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

Below is the full track. It's NSFW, but I think it captures the understandable outrage about what happened Monday. I hope you'll share it widely!

Good morning. Trump is protecting Epstein files. The confederacy lost and they were traitors, mRNA vaccines are the future, cops shouldn’t wear masks, Trump cut taxes for the rich and ripped benefits from the poor.

Article 1, Section 9 & 10 have been removed from the official Govt website on the US Constitution. Among numerous points:
•Section 9 forbids suspending The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus
•Section 10 forbids ex post facto laws
This better be a joke. Ignoring these is full blow dictatorship

The idea that we need to defeat fascism in the marketplace of ideas means that we are also open to accepting fascism’s propositions, as long as its adherents are good enough at debate or its opponents aren’t good enough at it, and I’m sorry but nope
