She is a fucking rock star.

I just read it on CNN. I got chills, I think she is amazing.

Grrrr! When I click on it, the app crashes.

Was it a post on ML? If so, clearly I didn't scroll enough!

Yep!

There's one on CE&P too.

She's amazing. I stayed up all night listening, she's a great speaker. 

[CrazyLucky]

She is my new hero!

Someone on the Internet called her Khaleesi. Seems about right.

[isabel]

Have you guys seen this? Look at her occupation.

[Deleted]

LOVE her!

The whole thing has given me chills and a lot of hope.

she's a badass, and i adore her. i am especially proud to be a woman today, thanks to her.

ETA:  i'm not being hyperbolic here.  tears are falling from my eyes. 

[toepick]

She is my hero! But I fear her victory will be short-lived. I see another special session coming - they are determined to pass this.

This is true. As optimistic as I felt reading about it this morning, I don't think the tides will turn in Texas.

This bill will still pass. But holy shit, this is a proud moment for democracy nonetheless, not to mention for feminism.

I remain utterly disgusted at the failure of most media outlets to cover any of this yesterday, though.

CNN WAS COVERING MUFFINS.  no lie.

muffins.

17 to 12 in favor of the bill. Sad but likely true that it will pass if they do a special season. This makes me sad to be a Texan. I do love how many Texans where there in support against the bill. There was a line out the door. 

[fuckyourcouch]

she is a fucking hero. i listened to it live all day and watched all night. what an incredible thing to witness.

[mrssandro]

I have looked and looked and can't find the breakdown. Some sites are reporting that it was 19 vrs 10 result.

i think part of the problem is after the supposed vote, some of the senators were saying it was unclear what exactly they were voting on, and some were saying they didn't get to vote. so i don't know if there actually is an accurate count.

[karmasabiotch]

She rocks.
