      I feel like this should be bigger news.

      Democratic leadership remains embarrassingly asleep at the wheel

      Why is an opposition politician being held hostage in the USA?

      Why are Americans not protesting?

      Context?

      Edit: Thanks! That’s fecking insane!! Good luck, America. You’ve got your own fascist regime building momentum. If you don’t stand up soon… it’s barbarism

      This is why democrats are in the state they are in. No leadership and worthless handwringing.

      I’d be having lawyers look into the legality then hopefully suing all of those involved.

      This is just insane. How is this not a bigger deal?? My bingo card for 2025 is already full from all this BS.

      This is genuinely unsafe. The party that supposedly wants to honor the dreams of our founding fathers sure just threw that dream in the dumpster and lit it on fire.

      Props to her for not signing even though she’s probably going to wind up in prison. I hope she’s got a good team of lawyers.

      Would she be cleared legally if she shot her way out of there? They are illegally kidnapping her. Self defense?

      I know this is a serious situation, but at the same time this pic has so much potential to be a meme.

      I assume someone has already tried calling the fire Marshall. If not, they should.

      The Democratic Party is asleep at the wheel again. There is a state representative being imprisoned by Republicans and no one is talking about it. What an absolute embarrassment.

      This is why people are always saying “liberals are overreacting” they need to be pounding the table on shit like this.

      Where is Gavin, where is AOC, Bernie etc….

      Resistance won’t be easy, but its crucial right now. We gotta support those on the frontlines, but especially black women, who are the most disrespected in the world, but hold it down for democracy every single fucking time.

    14. We’re lucky to have Rep. Collier in government

      The problem is we need hundreds that are *strong* and just in their convictions like her. Unfortunately, her party are full of feeble pushovers

      Look after yourself, queen.

      She has more class than me. I would shred the place. Maybe even poop on a desk. I dont know but this is false imprisonment.

    16. Unlawful detention in a lawless Nanny State… that just about sums up Texas right now, & I live here!

      I’m about to bill the GOP for all the wine I’m needing to get through this admin.

    19. I asked this in another thread, but didn’t get an answer. Can someone help me out to understand what’s happening here? It’s not clear to me what happens if she just gets up and walks out on her own? Are there police escorts waiting outside who will “escort” her anyway, whether she likes it or not? I 100% stand by her refusing to sign anything, but I’m just not understanding what the consequences will be if she gets up and goes home without signing.

      (Not in the US, BTW.)

      Does she have a campaign fund? I want to call her office and thank her tbh. This is fucking terrifying.

      I feel like every day, I say “I am shocked but not surprised” and “this is truly the worst timeline”. Our coal mine canaries are all dead, and the violence is becoming increasingly visible against us all.

      I’m glad that Rep Collier has the ability to get sleep items brought in for her.

    22. I’m still confused as to why we’re just allowing this??? THIS WILL CONTINUE TO HAPPEN AND GET WORSE IF WE DONT STOP IT NOW

      Very disappointing that a black woman has to do this while social media darling James Talarico sits it out along with the rest of the Dems. And seeing TX Dem Caucus Chair Gene Wu justifying that by saying how “everyone resists in their own way” while praising the cops who are holding them hostage is just a perfect encapsulation of the TX Dems.
