  • Wake Up! Gerrymandering in Texas and Why Democrats Can’t Keep Sleeping
    Texas Republicans just dropped new gerrymander maps — and it’s not just lines on paper. It’s a direct attack on Black, Latino, and Democratic voices across the state.

    On this Pretty Prissy Chronicles special, I’m breaking it ALL down:
    ⚡ What these maps really mean for Texas
    ⚡ How GOP leaders are silencing entire communities
    ⚡ Why this fight isn’t just local — it’s NATIONAL
    ⚡ And my unapologetic call to action for Democrats: WAKE UP, or watch democracy slip away.

    This isn’t politics as usual. This is the power grab of a generation. And the question is—are we ready to fight back?
