OMG! Which dystopian script are we in the middle of right now?

"State Rep. Nicole Collier of Fort Worth on Monday said she will remain locked in the Austin statehouse chamber until the House reconvenes on Wednesday morning.

She is making the move after she refused conditions set by Republican leaders that would have required her to sign off on a law enforcement escort before being allowed to go home after Monday's session."

Texas lawmaker stuck in House floor over GOP 'permission slip' rule
"A Texas lawmaker found herself effectively stuck in her seat Monday, planted on the House floor after refusing to sign a political "permission slip"—a GOP-mandated form requiring Department of Public Safety escorts for Democrats who broke quorum over redistricting."

6. I was just online trying to figure out how to donate to Rep Collier.

Can't find a link. I am thinking - mail her a check.

7. You should see if she has an active election funds account currently

I figure you're are trying to do that

8. I hope it's the script for Andor/Rogue One.

If you’ve seen it, you know.

10. It's on Disney+

Even if you don’t like Star Wars, you might like Andor/Rogue One (Andor is a series that is the prequel to Rogue One, which is itself a prequel to the First Star Wars movie- not to be confused with the Prequel Trilogy of Episodes 1/2/3)

Andor tells the story of the birth of the Rebellion against the Empire, and all the sacrifices made by brave rebels from all walks of society.

Lots of political intrigue and suspense- great acting and writing.

11. Idiocracy

On steroids.
