See Tracks, Think Train! 🚂
Remember: obey warning signals, stay off the tracks, cross only at designated crossings, and report hazards.

Now wait and see if they even bother with the rest of it.

Signed before flood relief. Before flood warning sirens. Before any other bill on his desk.

The governor's no. 1 priority was always the racist, rigged maps.

Gov. Greg Abbott on Friday signed into law a new congressional map President Donald Trump requested to give Texas Republicans five new seats in Congress and help the GOP hold the House during the midterms.

Two weeks into his bogus lawsuit to remove us from office and Attorney General Ken Paxton still can’t figure out:

- which district I represent, and
- that representing HD-145 doesn’t stop at the state line.

Texans deserve maps that reflect what unites us, not divides us.

From bombs to bullets, threats of political violence have zero place in our democracy. Every one of us, regardless of party, must stand against these acts of cowardice and terrorism.

I will not give power to Donald Trump, Greg Abbott, and the Republicans to silence our voices.

I won't be complicit in Trump's rigged redistricting scheme.

Read my full statement below.

Official statement from the Office of Texas State Representative Christina Morales, featuring a state seal and black text on a cream background.

Headline: Rep. Christina Morales "I won't be complicit in Trump's rigged redistricting scheme."

CHICAGO, IL (August 18, 2025) - State Representative Christina Morales (D-Houston) issued the following statement: “When Texas House Democrats first left the state, I was clear - I am in this fight for the long run and am committed to using every tool at our disposal to fight the ‘gerrymandering on steroids.’ That has not changed.

I represent communities that these racist maps are targeting — historic Latino neighborhoods like Lindale Park, Magnolia Park, Near Northside, Park Place, and the East End. Our Black and Brown communities — my community — are being chopped apart to silence our voices and hand power to Donald Trump. I will not be complicit in this rigged redistricting scheme.

Today, some of my colleagues chose to return to the House Floor. I respect them deeply, but that choice would not reflect my commitment to the people I represent. My community sent me here to fight for fair representation, and I will continue to do so from outside the Capitol.

I will stand firm against these illegal, racially discriminatory maps in the courts, in our communities, and at the ballot box. Because our neighborhoods, our voices, and our democracy are worth defending — and I will not yield.”

It’s only the first week of school and Governor Abbott is already failing. Texans want flood relief, not racist maps.

We’ve taken this fight to IL, CA, NM, and NY — building a nationwide coalition to stop Trump and Abbott’s attempt to rig the 2026 election by silencing minority voices. This is just the latest chapter in a battle that began in Texas — and when we do come home, we’ll be ready to finish it.
