Aug 18–19 Texas GOP forced Dems to sign permission slips for a DPS escort to leave the chamber.

Rep. Nicole Collier refused — staging an overnight sit-in, a “slumber party for democracy.”

⚠️Fascism because it treats elected reps as subjects under police watch. 4/

So this happened. Texas is actively violating the 1st amendment at this point, and I’m pretty sure violating quite a few privacy laws. #collier #repcollier #texasdemocrats #gerrymandering #gavinnewsom

GOOD!! TX has 1 of it's Dems locked inside chambers!! #RepCollier refused to sign the permission slip to leave w an escort to ensure she wouldn't leave the state. Gre-gor A-Butt s/be arrested!!

Thank you #RepCollier
That high road crumbled long ago. Thank you for doing what you're doing.
💙💙💙💙💙💙

Maybe NY @governor.ny.gov should send the NY national guard to #Texas to protect #RepCollier from whatever it is that these fucking lunatics are planning for her?

The gop/ their COP PALS claimed there was an active shooter so they could make the protedsters leave while they kept on keeping #REPCOLLIER locked inside.. since like obv. If it was a real that they would have evacuated HER TOO.

FUCKING ASAHOLES.

Set her free now.

This is what #POSAbbott does. Holding Collier hostage. WTF

We are there with #RepCollier, and thank you for your presence, #KamalaHarris... but our ancestors are rolling in their graves, if not breaking free! And, our children and grandchildren are being forsaken! Why the impotence, people?

There's been a few recent cases of false imprisonment in the past year or two. Marvin Sapp is another one. Locking the doors of the church to force people to donate? Let me tell you something...Marvin is lucky someone like me isn't a parishioner. That was a FAFO moment if you ask me.

If you have to sign a “consent form” to be given your liberty, it is not a consent form.

Anyone surprised that Texas republicans don’t understand consent?
