Texas Is Flooded Because Our Democracy Is, Too
“It’s flooding down in Texas,” goes the old song. “All of the telephone lines are down.”
With apologies to Stevie Ray Vaughan, there’s a lot more down in Texas than telephone lines now. Power lines are down, homes are destroyed, and cities sit underwater. Dozens have died.
For me, this is personal. I worried intensely about friends and family in Houston and Corpus Christi.
