This Is Fascism. You Don't Get to Look Away. [View all]

Texas Republicans want to rig the maps. Trump deployed the military on civilians. The media tells you to stay home. The fascism isn’t coming, it’s already here.

I told you last week. “Rumors and redistricting? Expect us.”

This week, the New York Times confirmed that Donald Trump is pressuring Governor Greg Abbott to call a special session to redraw the maps in the middle of the decade. To rig all 38 congressional districts red before the 2026 midterms.

Call it what it is. Authoritarianism in real time.

And they’re not even hiding it.

The Texas Tribune followed up with details. Republican members of Congress from Texas met in DC this week to discuss redrawing the lines. They admitted it. Out loud. In front of reporters. Here’s the link.

They are trying to steal Texas. Again.

To lock it down before voters can hold them accountable in 2026. Before they lose their grip. Before their lies catch up with them. Before the rest of the country sees what we’ve seen for years.

These men only believe in power.
