Twitter: *all sorted then, let’s open verifications up*

Journalists and legitimate people everywhere: *find it impossible to get verified*

Florida has not had a Dem governor in 22 years.

Republicans have repealed laws for building safety... relaxed gun laws to decrease public safety... attacked people's right to vote and protest... they've let the Keys sink.

And now the manatees are dying.

@steveklabnik replied to a tweet by steveklabnik:

anyway you all know i am generally not very pro electoral politics and criticize dems relentlessly for not doing anything

*this* is what i want to actually see out of legislators. these folks are risking their jobs to stop bad things happening. if only more dems did this.

@steveklabnik replied to a tweet by steveklabnik:

... and so that's what's happening in Texas politics right now.

@steveklabnik replied to a tweet by steveklabnik:

anyway with the limited time and bad optics, they didn't issue a warrant. but now, with this new session, it is more likely. so, what are they gonna do? flee the state before tomorrow. those cops (yes not literally cops iirc but whatever) don't have jurisdiction outside the state

@steveklabnik replied to a tweet by steveklabnik:

... one of the provisions of said voter suppression bill basically targets “souls to the polls” campaigns that were organized by Black congregations. you can fill in the blanks yourselves on why republicans don't want those folks voting.

@steveklabnik replied to a tweet by steveklabnik:

back in may, with only an hour to go, said legislators sought refuge at Mt. Zion Baptist Church, a Black congregation two miles away from the capitol. they basically dared them to issue a warrant and go arrest them there, and they didn't. this also has significance because...

well, what happens if you don't show up to work? that's right, they can issue a warrant for your arrest

@steveklabnik replied to a tweet by steveklabnik:

so, that's what's happening. the dems are like, actively doing a thing to stop this session from happening, so that the republicans can't pass a host of terrible shit.

but there's one more twist. why are they flying to DC, you may ask?

@steveklabnik replied to a tweet by steveklabnik:

(did i do that math right? i think i did that math right. whatever, point is, they have enough people to be able to do this)

@steveklabnik replied to a tweet by steveklabnik:

so, the reason walking out works: you need to have 100 out of the 150 members present in order for the legislature to be able to work. gotta get enough votes. dems hold 67 seats. so that's enough that if 18 of them don't show up, you can't call the house to order.
