Content warning: Nicole Collier / Texas coercion (USPol)

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.

So mobilizing Texas National Guard for use in Chicago and Portland, while there is no reason according to judges, against the will of those states, is an invasion i think?#Texas #Illinois #Oregon
