Texas Democrats broke quorum to block Trump and Abbott’s racist redistricting plan, and now they are back.
Rep. Nicole Collier refused to sign a “permission slip” agreeing to a 24/7 DPS escort, and as a result, she’s being held inside the House chamber.
We are with you Rep. Collier!⭐️🦸🏽♀️
🚩The message behind SB 6, the portable abortion ban:
If you’re pregnant in Texas, stay quiet. Stay stuck. Stay scared. And if someone tries to help you – we’ll ruin their life too.
#txlege #texas #politics #healthcare
It’s fear.
💥 The good news: House Democrats have broken quorum, so SB 6 — and Abbott’s racist redistricting plan — can’t move forward right now.
We’re grateful for the lawmakers standing up to protect Texans. But the fight isn’t over.
📢 Stay loud. Stay organized. We’re not backing down.
🚨 SB 6 just passed in the Texas Senate.
This isn’t just another abortion ban. It’s a portable abortion ban — designed to follow Texans across state lines and punish anyone who helps us.
A doctor in New York.
A friend in California.
A clinic in Illinois.
It’s a bounty system. It’s surveillance.
Let’s be real, Greg Abbott isn’t just trying to ban abortion in Texas – he’s trying to ban it everywhere Texans exist.

Texans showed up to rally in the Capitol Rotunda — now we’re ready to testify against Trump and Abbott’s redistricting scheme! #txlege

🏛️Attend the hearing this Monday, August 4th at 9AM at the Texas Capitol’s Senate Chamber to tell your Senators to oppose SB7.
Can’t make it? Not a problem. 👌
🔗 Head to the link here: bit.ly/OpposeSB7 to send the Senate State Affairs Committee an email urging them to say NO to SB7.
‼️SB7 IS HEADED TO THE SENATE STATE AFFAIRS COMMITTEE AND WE NEED YOUR HELP.‼️
SB7 is a dangerous bill that targets trans Texans for simply existing in public. Here’s how you can help ⬇️⬇️
Texans deserve fair representation, not rigged maps. Lawmakers are fast-tracking a redistricting scheme to drown out Black and Brown voices. We can't let them.
Join us to testify, rally, and fight back in your city:
📍 Austin — July 24
📍 Houston — July 26
📍 DFW/Arlington — July 2
#txlege ⬇️⬇️⬇️
We’re watching. And trust, so should you.
They’re back in session, and yes, back on their bullshit.
Abbott called a special session, but instead of flood relief, he’s reviving abortion bans, redrawing political maps, and recycling anti-trans bills.
1/2⬇️⬇️⬇️
Abbott gets 30 days to fast-track his most extreme and unpopular policies, and barely gives Texans time to organize or push back.
🚨 Greg Abbott’s special session starts Monday, July 21st. But what is a special session, and why does it matter?

FYI: An abortion ban is an abortion ban is an abortion ban.

🚨The House will soon vote on whether to protect healthcare or fund billionaires. 🚨Time is running out to stop this dangerous bill that would leave millions of people without healthcare access. ACT NOW and tell the House: Stop the attacks on Medicaid and Planned Parenthood!🗣️
🚨 The Senate chose tax breaks for billionaires over birth control, STI testing, and cancer screenings for millions.
We’re choosing to fight back.

‼️“Defunding” Planned Parenthood won’t reduce costs — it will strip away care, push providers out, and leave patients with nowhere to go. ‼️ Medicaid is critical for lower income communities; without it, millions patients could lose care.
👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼
Tell Congress: Vote NO on defunding healthcare
Text CARE to 22422

The goal is clear: shut down Planned Parenthood, no matter who it hurts. This political agenda puts lives at risk—especially for people in rural areas, Black and Latino communities, and those with low incomes.
🗣️Text CARE to 22422 and tell your Senator to stop the attacks on Planned Parenthood!
“Defunding” Planned Parenthood is a backdoor abortion ban. It’s a coordinated political attack to shut down health centers, block care, and push abortion further out of reach—even where it’s legal. Text CARE to 22422 and tell your Senator to stop the attacks on Planned Parenthood!
Since the Supreme Court overruled Roe v. Wade three years ago, attacks against our reproductive rights have only escalated.
From cruel bills in Texas to efforts in Congress to defund PP nationwide — this was never about abortion. It’s about control.
But we’re still here. We’re still fighting. 💪🏽

That’s a wrap, dolls. The regular 2025 #txlege session is officially out for summer (Abbott just called for a special session 🙄) — and so is our final Capitol Confidential.
We laughed. We cried. We screamed at the livestream.
Planned Parenthood is irreplaceable.
