    Wow, I’ll take some good news even if a little premature. How nice of Elon Musk’s few hundred million spent in Texas was completely wasted.

      Most of us don’t suck. I keep hearing this rhetoric that because I live here, because I was born ans raised here, that I am a fool or complicit.

      I am trans, hispanic, and atheist and I can’t leave for many reasons, but amongst those reasons are because

      this. Is. My. Home.

      I love my city, my culture, my Home. I will fight in the face of the worst of us because I know we can be better here.

      Do not damn us all, we’re fighting

        I’ve frequently felt that there are good people in Texas. You all fought well. Keep them in check. Here in my state of KY, I sadly have to keep fighting. From the depths of my soul, thank you for fighting.

    Can someone explain this to me like I’m five please. So Californians leave California because of the policies there just to vote in and make a new California?
