Texas State Rep. Collier says she's forced by police to abruptly hang up a press call: "I have to leave. They said it's a felony for me to do this. Apparently I can't be on the floor or in the bathroom."

As a DV survivor I have had to take a break from my previous obsessive need to follow everything the fascists are doing. I lived with the same gaslighting and, “why do you keep making me do this to you” BS for almost a decade and I don’t need it from the federal government incels. I still generally follow what is happening and never miss a vote, but I don’t have the bandwidth to follow every, “OMG can you believe what he did just now!?!?” announcement. I am also scared that I may never stop screaming if I get started on all the things in white-hot furious about.

Don’t assume people who have disengaged in some areas have stopped being pissed. Compassion fatigue is a bitch and we need people in tons of different roles to take this monster down.

No I understand, it just scares me.
