It is an exciting moment in American History when a crowd realizes that it can finish a filibuster started 13 hours ago, by cheering for a comment for 15 minutes.

Mr. President, you just gave this crowd the power to control the filibuster, and these people can sit down, drink, eat, and go to the bathroom within the next 10 minutes. Congratulations, you finally did something good tonight.

Revolutions begin with the people, not the government, and we have just witnessed a revolution in Austin.

I literally started crying, listening to the cheering.

SO WHEN DOES THE REVOLUTION START WHEN DO WE OVERTHROW THE PATRIARCHY I’M PUMPED I’M READY LEMME PUT ON SOME PANTS AND I’M GOOD TO GO

remeMBER THE TIME AN ENTIRE GALLERY FULL OF CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE CARRIED ON A FILIBUSTER WHEN WENDY DAVIS WAS SILENCED

avatarsnowy:

CAN WE APPRECIATE WHAT’S HAPPENING RN THOUGH?

WHEN THE LEGISLATURE FAILED THEM, WHEN THE REPUBLICANS FIGHTING TO STRIP AWAY REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS PULLED DIRTY TRICKS TO STOP THE SENATORS STILL SIDED WITH THE PEOPLE IN THEIR TRACKS, THE PEOPLE TOOK MATTERS INTO THEIR OWN HANDS

THE PEOPLE OF TEXAS ARE LITERALLY FILIBUSTERING THE BILL RN

REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OR NOT IT WORKS IT IS INCREDIBLE

redcatg:

This is what’s happening outside of the Texas Senate gallery right now, in opposition to a bill being debated that could close all but five clinics providing abortion in the entire state. They have currently locked the doors, and nobody is allowed in or out…

LETICIA VAN DE PUTTE CAME TO THIS SESSION IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING HER FATHER’S FUNERAL

black-shucks:

she raised a child at 19 as a single mother, graduated from harvard law with honors, and served as a senator for 6 years

still the sandwich joke

theyellowfeministfatale:

I can’t believe a woman has to speak nonstop for 13 hours without sitting, going to the bathroom, or eating so that other Texas women can make personal decisions about their body. What the fuck.
