Glaring coercion, principled refusal. Not much surprises me out of the US currently, but this did.
"House Speaker Dustin Burrows (R) said that Democrats who left the state would only be allowed to leave the chamber on Monday if they signed an agreement to be accompanied by an escort from the Texas Department of Public Safety."
Rep Nicole Chandler declined to sign the agreement, and "NBC News correspondent Ryan Chandler reported that Collier was "locked into the House chamber" because she refused to sign the document."
"In my heart I don't feel compelled to sign it"
"I'll just sit here, I don't know… I guess I'll wait til Wednesday."

This is the kind of integrity we need. Immense respect to her.

I'd venture this backlash isn’t just because of one Epstein PR mistake. It’s because Trump smells weak and vulnerable, and his supporters are looking for an exit. The MAGA types loved Trump because he made them feel like winners. And right now he doesn’t.
That doesn't mean we win, yay, time to kick back. His supporters are in an abusive relationship, and they will find it hard to leave.
What this means is − keep the pressure up. ←
Worth skimming this whole roundup from @…. I just don't think the backlash happens without larger underlying weakness.

47's government being a menace to the whole world again. Tuberculosis in prisons means tuberculosis everywhere.
"Detainees have tested positive for tuberculosis at the Anchorage Correctional Complex in Alaska and Adelanto ICE Processing Center in California, according to news reports. ...
"Tuberculosis thrives in carceral settings of all kinds. It spreads through the air when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or spits, and it only takes a few droplets to sicken someone. ...
"Almost everyone who contracts it needs treatment to survive, and those who do may live with lungs so damaged they struggle to breathe. ...
"Anyone in ICE custody with symptoms suggestive of tuberculosis is supposed to be placed into an airborne infection isolation room with negative pressure ventilation ...
"But ICE detention facilities don’t necessarily have such rooms ... The typical solitary cell does not use negative pressure, detention and medical researchers said. ...
"Experts expect the situation to get much worse in the months ahead. That’s because Trump’s drive to deport one million people hasn’t yet coincided with the height of flu season, or the GOP’s recent cuts to the health care system, or its exclusion of undocumented immigrants from several social programs."

People talk about how politics shouldn't be like sports. I think it depends a lot on what sports though.
Like, imagine if politicians had to wear the logos of every company they worked stock in and every company that donated to their campaigns like they're driving NASCAR. Of all sports, almost no one wants anything to be more like NASCAR... And yet, when you think about it, there actually *are* some hints we could take from it.

If all of bordering states followed illegal orders from potus to invade Chicago, it’d be:
~45,000 invaders vs. ~32,000 defenders.
(Indiana, Iowa, Missouri and Wisconsin National Guard against Illinois National Guard, State Police, Chicago Police, County Sheriffs)
Plus, it would take more than 53,000 soldiers to even begin to think one could hold Chicago (population ~2.6 million).

How to take action against cbs canceling The Late Show with Stephen Colbert because potus wanted them to?
Do not support cbs, paramount's channels (cbs, nickelodeon, mtv, showtime, bet, comedy central, etc.) platforms and projects: cancel any subscriptions to their services (and tell them why), don't watch and do not praise their work online, do not buy tickets to their movies. So too skydance.
