So we’re just full blown dystopia now
Texas Democrats are the real heroes in this country.
How can people outside of Texas support them?
If these numbers are accurate, why do dems need to flee the state?

Notice the photo looks like one of the freedom riders busses back during the civil rights movement.
They’re being pursued by „angry white men“ even though they were the ones who invented this tactic they wrote papers on claiming it’s completely legal.
As usual trumplicans aren’t thinking things through and they drive themselves crazy when their own tactics are used effectively against them.
Trump would torture them if he thought he could get away with it. Trump is Kim Jong Un with superior makeup.
They’re not „on the run“…that implies cowardice.
They’re defending democracy by using the only tool currently in their arsenal…they just can’t do it *in* Texas. They have committed no crime, and any attempt to arrest(/kidnap) them would be a blatant violation of their rights, and an egregious overstep by the Federal Government and FBI.
Yet it was perfectly fine when all the Republican senators fled Oregon to Idaho to avoid doing their jobs and voting for bills that would have helped people.
Running away from problems, Texas style 🏃♀️Whether it’s a good fight or a flight, gotta appreciate that dedication
What a poorly written headline. „Pack a toothbrush. Pack hair spray.“ So, like, what most people do when they have to leave home?
If you’re trying to make it sound like an extraordinary experience or burden, pick stuff that doesn’t apply to „Going to visit your aunt for a week“, right?
“On the Run” huh? Pay close attention to how the media presents things to you.
Now it’s time for Texas dems to make demands. So that republicans are forced to make concessions.
I hope they make a movie about this one day.
On another note, how long can this go on? Indefinitely?
„On the run“ lol making it sound like they’re Billy The Kid or Bonnie & Clyde. They’re politicians who are in disagreement with their peers, not the French Resistance.
Sorry what? Can someone explain why they are staying at an undisclosed location and fleeing their state as a way to prevent the gerrymandering? What am I missing here cause this doest not make any sense at all
When will the media stop gaslighting the public?
Ok… But this is just packing for a vacation lol they’re staying in a hotel
*USA Today* headline writer, I get that you needed to pander to the old vacationers who still read your paper and sneak in an REO Speedwagon reference.
The Republicans did this same exact thing in Oregon a year or two ago when they didn’t want to vote on something. Where was that outrage? Oh, there wasn’t any? Of course not.
Bru it’s so easy to buy supplies and they aren’t on the run.
I don’t get it. No arrest warrants issued so they’re not running. Plus, I thought they were fighting by leaving…Even the media can’t get it right
The story should not be about Democrats fleeing but about a concerted effort to overthrow democracy.
