Texas Republicans have voted to track down and arrest dozens of Democratic legislators who have fled the state to block passage of a partisan redistricting plan.

The vote passed by 85 to 6, following Republican Governor Greg Abbott’s threat of bribery charges against the absent Democrats.

After the vote, the governor ordered state troopers “to locate, arrest, and return to the House chamber any member who has abandoned their duty to Texans”.

    Yea like excuse me? I had my ass beat in 2020, I’ve been protesting here in Chi, and my community has been fucking up ICE. Look what their head said about Chicago. He hates us. Because we don’t fuck with ICE the way New York just let them stroll right in.

    Sit down, Americans aren’t as lazy as you think we are. We arrested our governor and we’ll bring that to the white house.
