We need to get Kris Mayes re-elected. In order to do that, we first need to ensure we elect @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social! Losing this seat will put statewide elections at risk in 2026. Before you sign a petition, go to iwillvote.com and verify you are registered to ensure your signature counts!
If less than 2% of mass shootings are by trans people, but nearly all the rest are by cis white men…remind me again why we’re stripping rights from trans folxs instead of talking about gun reform and toxic masculinity?
Hey #Arizona! Make sure you’re registered!
Reagan was to the Civil Rights Movement what Trump is to Obama’s presidency: a whitelash. One cloaked in dog whistles, the other shouted with a bullhorn. Both fuck America.
Right back at you!!! We got this, together!

#MorningVibe Don’t fall into the 🐂 💩 expectations thrown at you daily. You be you. And learn how to be comfortable with yourself. It’s ok to be you.
The irony of him calling someone else “conflicted” and demanding they resign? Pot. Kettle. Projection. #FDT
When the nails be nailing…💅🏼 #Nailart #fdt
I was testing a new 4mm brush I just got for my collection, and finally painted a word cloud. I’ve called it “Ode to the GOP.” 💅🏼 Should this be my next full set? 🤔 #queer #nailart #artivism
The 2003 Texas redistricting deliberately diluted Black and Latino voting power. One district (CD-23) was so bad the Supreme Court ruled it violated the Voting Rights Act. Maps were redrawn to dismantle districts held by people of color and silence their communities…for partisan gain.
“But redistricting is normal…” Texas has mostly stuck to once-a-decade redistricting after each census: 1901, 1909, 1933, 1957, 1963/66, 1971, 1981, 1991, 2011/12, 2021. 1930 & 1950 censuses? Delays. Court intervention. Mid-decade redraws? Just 2: 2003 & now 2025. Both racist. #texas

He’s so delusional. Was Obama perfect? No. No leader is. What he wasn’t was unhinged and a tyrant.
Respectfully, while I hear what you’re saying, religions don’t belong in our government. If we’re to appeal to those who have a faith, lack of faith, no faith or whatever, it all needs to be secular.
Republicans in Texas are once again working hard solving the biggest problems Texan's face - too much democracy. Don't let them take away democracy for all Americans in secret. Tune in. Share. Make it public. #Pinks #MomSky
We can hold many truths on this page. I appreciate this…
100% yes.
100% this!
Exactly. As a Jew this is horrific.
More lies to be forced down folks throats - this time whilst at work. Regressive. Fascists.
Fuck this to hell.
Fun times at the old salt mine
Cascading faster and faster
Speak out. Call it what it is. And share this with people who think Christian nationalism is just a culture war buzzword. It’s not. It’s a strategy.
This is full sprint toward authoritarian religious nationalism. If we don’t stand up now, we’ll wake up to a country where neutrality is gone and public service becomes another pulpit.
The United States was founded on the principle that no one religion holds sway over government. What Trump is doing here is un-American at its core. It’s Christian supremacy disguised as free expression and it must be called as such
5. It Erodes Rights for Everyone Else Jewish employees. Muslim employees. LGBTQ+ employees. Atheists. Agnostics. This memo prioritizes the comfort of those preaching over the safety and inclusion of those listening.
4. This Sidesteps Democracy This policy wasn’t passed by Congressas this is an internal agency memo prompted by executive order; a political power grab that rewrites the rules of public service without public input.
3. It Creates Unsafe Workplaces Religious coercion, especially from supervisors, is inherently threatening. Even without outright harassment, the power imbalance makes any invitation to “join my faith” feel like pressure.
2. It’s a Christian Nationalist Trojan Horse This stems directly from Trump’s February 2025 executive order combatting so-called “anti-Christian weaponization” of government. This is about embedding conservative Christian values in public institutions, not supporting religious pluralism.
1. It Violates the First Amendment’s Establishment Clause The U.S. government is now enabling proselytizing in federal workplaces: a DIRECT breach of the wall between church and state. Religious liberty means protection from being evangelized by your boss, not being cornered in a cubicle sermon.
“US to allow federal workers to promote religion in the workplace” www.reuters.com/legal/litiga... The Trump administration has now authorized federal employees to actively promote religion in the workplace, including inviting coworkers to join their faith, so long as it’s not “harassing.”
Thanks @katiephang.bsky.social 🥰👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🥰

The Supreme Court just ruled that Trump can dismantle the Department of Education Justice Sotomayor: “That decision is indefensible..The majority is either willfully blind to the implications of its ruling or naive, but either way the threat to our Constitution’s separation of powers is grave”
Come join us for some #goodtrouble this Thursday! This event is free, and going to be EPIC! #wepersist

Thank you, friend.
You can’t opt out of my family. Fuck scotus. open.substack.com/pub/dadnails...
Sure. But the Ten Commandments is totally legit and not a religious violation for us Jews, our Muslim families or any other religious areligious family. Yall: we exist. Period. This court is shit. #scotus #queer #pride
Yay!!!!
The irony of receipts…
And the great battle of our time has begun…
Awwwww omg!! Thank you so so so much!!!!!!
Thank you @katiephang.bsky.social !!
On Juneteenth and forever… Honor, don’t bury or whitewash the history of our ancestors who were lynched. (National Lynching Memorial in Montgomery, Alabama)
Totally fair. When I say “system,” I mean the structural defaults: schools, housing, justice, media. that privilege of whiteness whether we opt in or not. It’s not belief; it’s about built-in advantage. We can’t choose to ebb and flow from it. Black and other marginalized communities can’t.
While I feel this to my bones as a Jew, we’ve seen how non Jews romanticize what the Holocaust was, in film, in literature. As a grandson of a survivor I would rather them amplify lived stories, as more often than not things are watered down or whitewashed and lack the nuance of the stories.
Sorry. It’s me confusing threads. So sorry.
I didn’t see how the thread was going. No issue whatsoever. It’s sounded like you were telling me I had a bad take. Which is ok. I don’t mind disagreeing. Sorry if I didn’t properly follow all the threads.
Absolutely, it is all of our jobs to teach the history. But that doesn’t mean we center ourselves while doing it. Quoting Black voices and doing our own learning is key. So yes, we learn, we teach, we speak up. This is about confusing allyship with centering.
Supporting and educating are two different things, by the way.
I’ve no less than 50 black creators call out white people and their performance. Sorry we don’t agree here.
Thank you!!
I still don’t agree; but fully see what you’re saying. It’s still about systems. And whiteness is a system whether we like that or not.
Awww thank you!!!!
