I am so damn PROUD of TX Dems for standing up and fighting back!!
But this won’t mean anything if the rest of the country doesn’t back them up.
BLUE STATES! IT’S ON YOU TO MOVE!
No more talk.
Start announcing referendums and special sessions to redistrict the GOP out of existence!
It's about frekin time !
New York. New Jersey. California. All 3 have the power to redistrict immediately & add democratic seats to counter what’s happening in texas & what other red states will attempt.
If they don’t then democrats are giving them the midterms despite all their talk & completely capitulating to fascism.
All 50 states can change their rules for Congressional redistricting to every 5 YEARS instead of the traditional 10 years, after every census. Fine, TX MAGA GOP, if that’s what you and the traitor felon conman in the WH want 🥵
Proud. Grateful. Thankful.
Blue states hold a 27 million person advantage nationwide- do it!
Absolutely!!!
Yes, the time is now for the Dems to take the damn gloves off!
Me too. But Democrats governors must know this is not a one up on you. This is civil war. Start preparing.
Did you know that those Dems make $600 a month and thus all have day jobs in which they are either using paid days off or simply taking the $ hit? And, in short order they will be facing fines of $500 for every day they break quorum.
The DNC is supporting this. Huchul (spelling?) is providing refuge in NY and Pritzker is providing refuge in Illinois. Newsome is pushing for counter gerrymandering in CA. Eric Holder is pushing for that too, everywhere possible. So the nationwide back up is there.
ABSOLUTELY!!!.. Spot On!! 🎯💯🎯💯🎯💯🎯💯🎯💯🎯
2 democrat senators were assassinated by MAGA and nobody seems to give a shit, but good luck.
Dems with backbones, please stand up and be counted. . .we put you in office for a reason. . .
Americans, we must fight back! It's beginning! Can you feel it? We the People do not want CONCENTRATION CAMPS!!!
Commie Cowards all of them. Puke
Now if coherent America does the same !
Why do they get to control the rules of the game. This goes against democrat principles of equality for all. It’s a slippery slope we’re on.
We must support those who are fighting for their rights and injustices put upon them as well as yours. We own each other love appreciation andvthe kindness that comes with genuine gratitud.
This 💯 %
Yes we all want this!!!
The problem, according to the BBC, is that blue states are already max gerrymandered. Whether that’s true, I don’t know. www.bbc.com/news/article...
The redistricting would create five new Republican-leaning seats in the US House of Representatives.
Go, go, go.
With Governor Pritzker in Illinois we are the vanguard. He has been fighting them, and asking for country wide protests, etc... and not for political purposes or to line his pockets.
Amen; fight fire with fire
Oak tree Abbott will fire them and replace them with republicans. There is no longer an enforcement arm to prevent this…
absolutely.
time to stop bein' pussies about this stuff. fight back HARD
redistrict their asses back into oblivion.
and big talker Gavin Newsom better put up now.
Let's go 💪💪💪
you fight fire with water, NOT MORE FIRE.
Finally!!!!
Stop “waiting for TX Rs to redistrict” @governor.ca.gov @governor.ny.gov and every other Blue state gov - start NOW. Why are we waiting? You know Texas Rs will make it happen, why wait?
Honestly, I didn't think TX Dems had it in them...so many cycles of playing fair with Korrupt Kenny and Dumb$h!t Dan in charge. Proud mom moment 💙 #TXDems #TXLeg
California, Illinois and New York:
WE’RE TALKING TO YOU!!
Can't do that in Colorado. We passed laws decades ago requiring 'competitive districts.'
Yes!! All the blue states need to come together and form an alliance of sorts and work together to end this fascist coup in any way possible.
We are at war with the GOP, the enemy within. We must rise! Reject fascism! Revolution is now or never! 🌊🇺🇸🇺🇦🌈🟧🌍🩸💙
Instead the TX legislature instead of stealing black and Latino Congressional seats also duly elected should be seeking ways to help the victims of the recent TX floods. But those victims just aren’t as important as bowing to Tyrant Trump and his enabler Mini me Abbot
And that jerk of a TX Gov threatened to replace each of elected TX Dems in the Legislature with someone of his choosing so that he can get the unconstitutional new map thru the Legislature unanimously.
This is a very short term action. The GOP will find them and return them or figure out how to remove them and replace with more GOP people. This is the kind of thing the progressives want the Dems to do but it is all window dressing and not the answer to solving the issues. The solution is vote.
Woah - I'm pretty sure some "harsh memos" are gonna come out from Blue state reps.
Yesssss!!!!
Exactly... Are they gonna REMAIN COMPLICIT and let us know by their actions or lack thereof where they really stand. If they don't show up RIGHT NOW, DO NOT EXPECT YOUR CONSTITUENTS TOO. I'll fking write in Bernie . I'm serious too
Let's Go!!!
Onto Hochul, Pritzger, etc.
Yes! Get it done. I am tired of minority rule by lawless Repub. who can’t win fairly so rig the playing field and cheat. They already have an unfair advantage due to the Electoral College & Senate representation is very unfair. 2 Senators/state regardless of the population is hardly equitable.
Texas Democrats have taken a bold stand for democracy by leav… TexansInAction Defending Democracy needs your support for Support Texas Democrats Defending Democracy
This is how the next civil war begins
And for heaven's sake please come up with an agenda that you can effectively communicate, that provides stability, safety and security, and economic well-being for ALL Americans. Not just the top 1%. Do that and you might actually win some seats in Congress. And set the stage for '28.
The Blue States must do this. Winning is the only goal right now. This is not optional.
MORE BLUE STATES!
FIGHT BACK
I hear you and agree but I wonder what the courts are going to do as pushback against the blue states for pushing back Texas doing what it’s doing must have anticipated a big push back from other states and the Supreme Court must be getting involved, I just wonder 💭 Oh yes Epstein, young girls!!
We need to determine who’s in the Epstein files
I agree. Dem governors in blue states, be about it!!!.
I don't see any other way around this. Like @marcelias.bsky.social said. Let's go. Let's go 500% beyond what anyone would expect. They forced our hand. Dems had a bill to fix Gerrymandering. GOP voted against it. Now give them a taste of their own medicine, see how they like it.
Exactly. No more playing defense—blue states need to use every tool available. Time to fight smart and hard.TX Dems showed courage. Now it’s time for blue states to match that energy with action.
Yes!
For every seat the Republikkkunts add, Democrats need to add ten.
Blue States SECEDE apportion national debt by successive administration’s liabilities(Red States should own about 80%)
Seceding states form a new country, update & rewrite constitution including new foundation laws to stop abuses experienced over last 250 years.
👍💯💯
TIME FOR ALL WHO CARE TO SPEAK UP - AND FORCEFULLY!
NO MORE NICETIES!
CALL IT WHAT IT IS!
GET ANGRY!
GET MOTIVATED!
TELL THEM #ENOUGHISENOUGH!
FUCK NARCISSISTIC TRUMP!!
FUCK ICE!
FUCK THE GOP!
FUCK THE FEDERALIST SOCIETY!
FUCK THE HERITAGE FOUNDATION!
AND FUCK ALL WHO SUPPORT ANY OF THEM!
Enough is enough. Let’s go!
YES, YES, YES!!! No more pussy footing around! This is war & we need to act like it!!!
#reciprocalgerrymander
Show some fucking spine. This is why your poll numbers are so low
All this!!
New York entered that chat, including amending the state constitution to do it so the courts can't throw out the maps again.
I agree. Be proactive for once and beat them at their own game
I agree. I know it’s not ideal, and you feel guilty and wrong for doing it, but these are dangerous times. The Dems would not even be thinking about this had TX not announced their evil, ridiculous plot. Do whatever is necessary to protect America from Trump. Whatever.
Destroying Democracy. Don't get your way? Shut it all down. You're all fascists.
Absolutely time to fight
And yet the violent political party has done the same thing in California and other States to make them permanently Blue.
The advantage we have is that red states are already gerrymandered to hell and back. Blue states are NOT.
That means we have a lot more room to move than they do. We also have higher populations.
And the best part is, the SCOTUS can’t call TX’s move kosher without every other gerrymander being
gov. blabbot says, if the dems don't return bt 3 o'clock, they will lose their seats. But he doesn't have the power to do that. They have to be voted out...right?
I agree they should. But with a continued stake in democracy comes an independent judiciary. Here in NY, Hochul’s efforts are likely to come to nothing because the Platonic Guardians who make up its judiciary will “tut-tut-gerrymandering BAD” oblivious to the orgy happening in red states.
Blue states should hold special sessions to show we will play their game too. Lets go Cali, Illinois, NY
Mike johnson ran away from a vote on the Epstein files- should he and those republicans be fired?
I appreciate that you give credit when the Dems do what you wanted them to do.
Thank you in advance Pro Democracy States!
Pam Keith for president
GOP delenda est
Yes! We need to stop being nice
Surely turning states reds, doesn't mean the voters won't vote blue, after all they lose the same as every other voters, even reds have a limitation on how far they are prepared to suffer Trump.
CA is primed and ready!
🎯
IF California and New York will both double the texas districts, maybe Democrats can achieve a SUPER Majority in Congress and end this destruction of democracy
Where is @governor.pa.gov? Did I miss something?
Me too
Hey AI, l “Draw the MOST Racially Discriminatory, Pro-White Race district gerrymandered maps as possible, directly violating VRA race prohibitions.” That’s the Map TX GOP has made.
The Texas White Power Map. Texas Republicans stand for WHITE POWER! Nothing Else. And believe all White Texans do too.
LFG
The Texans are in Chicago
The democrats always Gerrymander the districts when the have the house. It is just a way that our government works. Not a fan either way.
Use their nonsense against them🤔👍👍
Not gonna happen. Prepare to cry yourself to sleep after the mid terms 🤣
Nothing should be out of the question in order to combat against the Republicans election fraud plans. It’s either fight now or lose forever!
The governor is trying to screw the democrats who left. Such a bottom-feeder
I fear the redrawing of Texas Congressional districts is a blueprint. Soon this extreme gerrymandering will sweep the nation and Democrats will never control Congress again.
Next up a we'll be governed wholly by Billionaire's proxies.
I’m proud of Texas Dems too! It’s way past time for Dems to put the demitasse spoons down while we’re engaged in a knife fight with republicans. Take the gloves off and FIGHT!
Just redraw the maps anyway!! Rules are gone so just do what you need to do. Courts that disagree with you ,abolish them!!! Time to stop playing checkers with these ASSHOLES!!!
What the actual fuck happened to the days of congress critters representing ALL the people in their districts? I mean, I'm not naive, I know they're Rs and Ds but we're headed toward civil war with the wonkiest battle lines imaginable!🤦🏻♂️
Come on WA State!
I'm a Texas Democrat and of course, I back them up completely, but it's getting more and more difficult to justify living in Texas. Though I've prospered here and live a good life, the weight of knowing that so much hate, racism and blind faith ignorance surrounds me is at times unbearable. ...
Maryland , CA, and Illinois can do this now without major hurdles. NY has to wait until 2028.

They spoke from a Democratic Governors Association meeting in the purple state of Wisconsin.
redistrict the GOP out of existence!
Pretty sure we're anti-gerrymandering, though? 🧐
Please do this. No more playing nice - the other team plays for blood.
Time to stop bringing rocks to a gun fight ! Be on the offense not the defense!
So called liberal billionaires need to show up with open wallets to ensure that the Texas Democrats are protected. Demonstrate some solidarity show we are on the same side after all. Otherwise it's performative.
