🚨 Texas Democrats just pulled one of the boldest moves in recent political history: They walked out, got on airplanes, and broke quorum to block a Trump-backed GOP gerrymander. This is democracy on the line — and Texas Dems are fighting with everything they’ve got.
The GOP pushed a ruthlessly partisan map to flip up to 5 Dem seats — shredding voting rights, silencing communities of color, and locking in power for a generation. This isn’t politics. It’s authoritarianism. https://www.houstonchronicle.com/politics/texas/article/texas-house-democrats-quorum-break-20799924.php
