Almost every day for the last ten years, I’ve woken up sad about living in Texas. It’s a feeling that’s pervasive and oppressive, when your home is just wrong.

If they don’t vote for Republicans, then their non-voting stance was actually either cowardice or laziness.

I’m relieved he conceded. That’s as much credit as he deserves.
