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".

And fuck every single one of those fascists. There is ZERO reason to try to redistrict mid year other than "dear leader" and our shit fucking districts are already a joke. Bout time for some "unpredictable fires" to start at some houses that may our may not be occupied by fascists.
