All I need to know about the ice storm coming to Texas this weekend is that Ted Cruz hopped a flight to a California beach town yesterday.

Time to stock up on water and firewood and food that doesn't need cooking again. 🙄

This is what happens when you live in a State that doesn't believe in Government regulation. While I feel for Houstonians who are suffering, and I am empathetic for those in #Texas and #Houston who aren't #Republican, but really this is a self-inflicted disaster brought on by Texas #voters and Texas #politicians who love to "own the libs" at all costs; with their own health, safety, and comfort be damned. #ercot #electric #grid #HurricaneBeryl #power #outages #NERC #FERC #CIP #USpol #TXpol #TXpolitics #GovAbbott

Do I have any Texas or Texas politics followers here? I'm wondering how Sheila Jackson Lee's seat gets filled. Pancreatic cancer again. Sigh. :( https://www.yahoo.com/news/rep-sheila-jackson-lee-dies-030500628.html

Alright, here's my #FollowBackFriday pitch. I'm a writer. I've covered governing and education as well as done comms work around #txlege / #txpolitics

Now I've sold out and just do comms to pay the bills. I still follow #politics #politicaltheology #theology #criticaltheory and write about it. My spicy stuff is here: https://joelnihlean.medium.com

Let's meet, you new and interesting internet people.

Here's a pic of my dog in The Cone of Shame. #ff #followfriday #dogsofmastodon

Ok, consider this my #twittermigration post.

I'm a writer. I've written for magazines on governing as well as done comms work around #txlege / #txpolitics

I follow #politics and occasionally still write about it. My spicy stuff is here: https://joelnihlean.medium.com

I also think a lot about #politicaltheology #theology #criticaltheory and related stuff.

Anyway, say 'hi' and follow. I'll follow you back. Looking forward to meeting new and interesting internet people.

Here's a pic of my dog.
