BREAKING: Racially Gerrymandered Congressional Map Passes TX Senate, Heads to Governor Abbotts Desk ‼️
In the dead of night, Dan Patrick and the Senate gave final approval to Trump’s Takeover of Texas. They know they can’t win on the issues, so they’ve rigged the playing field.
Republicans think they can walk all over us. Today I'm going to kick back.
I’ve submitted my intention to filibuster the new congressional maps.
Going to be a long night.

Pure people power at the Texas Capitol today! ✊
We’re demanding that Greg Abbott and state lawmakers pass flood relief NOW and reject this redistricting scheme. Send a letter to your representative: https://t.co/PtIgeOhJoZ
Chants of “show me what Democracy looks like — this is what Democracy looks like!” as Texas House Dems enter the chamber. @brianeharrison tried to say something to the crowd and was immediately shut down. #txlege
As a former board member of @CommonCauseTX and as someone who has filed legislation to create an independent redistricting commission every #txlege session over the past 10 years, I agree that unilateral disarmament is not an option when faced with authoritarianism.
But we’re not backing down. 👊
Join us this Saturday, August 16th at the Texas Capitol for a National Day of Action to fight the Trump takeover. https://t.co/YfgA8L5MDk
Governor Abbott threatened to call a second special session immediately after the current one ends with the SAME UNPOPULAR agenda.
Once again, he’s showing more commitment to Trump’s power grab than to addressing urgent needs like flood relief and disaster preparedness. #txlege
The labor movement is in full solidarity with this necessary quorum break!
Texas may be the beginning of this redistricting battle, but workers across this country will win the war. Sign the card: https://t.co/KfaysSymVO
Texans across every corner of the state did everything in their power to fight the Trump & Abbott takeover, and now House Dems are doing everything in theirs. #txlege
Not only were Texans who showed up in person blocked from testifying against redistricting, but even those who registered virtually ahead of the deadline were never sent the link to participate.👇
🚨 ACTION ALERT: Greg Abbott & Donald Trump’s new congressional map just dropped, and it’s everything we feared: gerrymandered, racist, and deeply corrupt.
‼️URGENT‼️ Special session starts THIS Monday & instead of focusing on urgent community needs like flood recovery, Gov. Abbott is prioritizing mid-decade redistricting.
Join us for a critical webinar to unpack what’s happening & how we can take action!
