      I’m loving Abbot getting the boot too. Eat shit asshole

      When is Cruz’s ass up for re-election? I’d love for Jasmine Crocket to take the other seat. Plus Cruz being felled by a black woman would be delicious.

      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.

          Kentucky native now a Texan. I always check up on you guys with a little bit of hope. Keep fighting. If we can do it in Texas you can turn the grass blue again, I believe it.

            <3 I blame the racists here for our loss. But thank goodness we flipped the district. Please investigate our state as much as you can. Especially with all that nonsense with Mitch the Bitch.

    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.

    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?
