Sen. Miles speaks out AGAINST redrawing the lines of the congressional districts in Black and Brown communities in Texas. Let's be clear: this isn't redistricting —it's RIG-DISTRICTING! #txlege #hounews #SD13 #RIGDistricting
Who’s drawing your new congressional district? No one seems to know. How would you feel if you knew it was an out-of-state Republican Party operative? That’s what happened last time. #txlege
Education is Power! The Austin Report unpacks the upcoming Special Session and explains Redistricting and Gerrymandering. Read and share.
So now we redraw the maps every time Washington D.C. wants to dodge accountability? That’s a violation of the separation of powers. It silences voters, weakens democracy, and undermines our elections. Tell D.C.: No. Enough is enough. #txlege
Redistricting now? Doesn’t make much logical sense. 🧵 #txlege #redistricting #gerrymandering
On day one of the special session, Texas’s Republican leadership made it clear that their number one priority is to protect politicians over people. The president is weaponizing your state legislature to serve himself, not Texans. #txlege
🚨 The Texas Legislature is back for a rare mid-decade redistricting -- a process that’s politically driven and deeply consequential. If we’re going to redraw maps, Texans deserve a real say. That means regional hearings across the state. Not decisions made behind closed doors…
Why are we beginning redistricting before getting disaster relief to the Hill Country? Shoot, why are we doing redistricting at all? Because when Trump says jump, Texas Republicans ask how high. #txlege
The 89th Legislature’s special session opened today—while Texans are still recovering from the deadly July 4th floods. 🔸 One hundred thirty-five lives lost. 🔸 Families displaced. 🔸 Homes destroyed. Communities doing everything they can to rebuild. This should be a moment…
