Watch this. Apparently, police followed Rep Collier into the bathroom and threatened her with a FELONY for being on a press call with Senator Corey Booker and Governor Newsom.
Authoritarianism in plain sight.

Texas Rep. Nicole Collier was forced by police to hang up on a press call after being threatened with a felony arrest—for daring to speak.

She can’t be in the bathroom, can’t be on the floor, can’t even talk to the press without GOP cops breathing down her neck.

In a quick escalation, six Republican-led states are set to send hundreds of their own National Guard members to D.C. to address “out-of-control” crime despite police data indicating otherwise. Over 2,000 troops are expected to soon be in the district.

Claiming something is about “national security" is not a blanket excuse to violate our civil liberties.

The Trump administration is not above the law — and we won’t stop fighting to hold it accountable.

Trump keeps invoking national security to enact his policies — and it's all a ploy to get more power.

Attempts to end mail-in voting are part of President Trump’s larger strategy to remove checks on presidential power by making it harder for voters to hold politicians like him accountable at the ballot box.

The Constitution is clear: The president has no power to change election laws.
Trump Wants to End Mail-In Voting Ahead of Next Year’s Midterms (Gift Article)
The president does not have the power to unilaterally change voting laws, and any executive order regarding elections is likely to see immediate legal challenges.

Sixteen states currently have total abortion bans or ban care before most people realize they’re pregnant.

We spoke with three people in Wisconsin, Alabama, and Texas about why our right to access health care shouldn’t depend on our zip code.

The town of Whitewater, WI was mentioned in one of Trump’s new draconian immigration executive orders, it’s no stretch to think our state will be targeted by ICE raids in the coming weeks. With Trump’s fascist goons on the prowl, it’s important to know your rights:
