THREAD: When I got arrested, a woman I met my first day in jail told me I should take notes on everything and someday write a book. A decade later, I FINALLY have – and now you can buy it here.
I wish she had lived to see this. read.macmillan.com/lp/corrections…

The way this video from last year's TX redistricting fight hits completely differently now 🤯🤯🤯
“The here and now is all we have, and if we play it right, it’s all we need”

.@GregAbbott_TX issued a warrant for my arrest, but I’m not backing down.
@texasdemocrats stand up to bullies, and we fight to win. Let’s do this, y’all.

I'm a local reporter in Texas. If you’re trying to understand the paradigm shift here or the history unfolding in Mississippi, you need to be following these local news orgs. (1/5)

TX Gov.-Elect Gina Hinojosa just announced Joe Madden (one of Harris County's best) will lead her transition team. Republicans always wanted the state to run stuff in Harris County so I guess you can add this to the list of flips this week

Hell of a thing to demand states hand over voters’ personal information and require proof of citizenship, then refuse to vote yourself because you don’t want your address on the very voter rolls you think the federal government should have access to.
Katie Miller admits she did not vote in the midterms

Ken Paxton lost both the county he appears to live in and the county he voted in.
2/ Paxton has made combating illegal voting a top priority.
We found he appeared to use an address where he did not live to vote in six elections in the past 2 years, including the one that made him the GOP nominee for U.S. Senate.

Ted Cruz declares that Texas is a blue state on his podcast
"Texas is blue. That is a hard sentence to utter. But Texas, today at least, is blue. As we sit here today, I am the only statewide elected Rpeublican who remains in Texas. That’s not something I ever thought I would say."

Honking and cheers in downtown Austin so loud we can hear it from the 17th floor. Feels like a revolution just took place.
