Apathy kills democracy. If not us, who? If not now, when? Be creative. Peacefully but courageously resist. Never give up. Support The Democratic Party and those who break through the gaslighting & corruption while we still have a democracy.

Thought we should check in on the total list of legislative flips during Trump 2.0. The tally so far (including tonight):
Democrats: 26 flips
Republicans: 0 flips
Democrats: 26 flips
Republicans: 0 flips

Huge victory.
They told Taylor Rehmet this seat was unwinnable.
They told us not to waste resources.
Now the GOP lost a Texas State Senate race that hadn’t gone blue since the 90s.
This is what early support + candidates with lived experience looks like.
Run. Everywhere.

Trump sues US taxpayers for $10 billion, then decides whether US taxpayers have to pay him the $10 billion. I guess the billions he made overseas in the past year selling out America to his foreign business partners isn't enough.

A few broader thoughts:
1) This election happened, period.
2) It happened in Texas, no less.
3) It happened even though Trump himself took an intense interest in winning it.
If Trump could cancel elections or ordain their outcomes, then why didn't he do that tonight?

I find it ironic that he doesn't pay any taxes but expects the US to pay him 10 billion of our tax money. Trump is nothing but a criminal.
