I’m sorry. In America, your right to exercise your religion doesn’t give you a right to discriminate.
If your business is open to the public, you don’t retain some license to discriminate based on religious belief. Religious bigotry is still bigotry.
SCOTUS should be ashamed.

Three thoughts this morning:
1) Putin’s invasion of Ukraine last year will go down in history as one of the biggest fuckups & biggest miscalculations ever made by a major figure on the world’s stage.
2) Joe Biden’s response to Putin’s invasion, Biden’s strong defense of Ukraine, and Biden’s leadership in assembling a unified worldwide coalition to stand WITH Ukraine and stand AGAINST Russia will go down in history as one of the greatest defenses of freedom & sovereignty ever put together on the world’s stage.
3) The world is so fortunate Trump lost in 2020.

One year ago, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, stripping away the right to make personal medical decisions from millions. Abortion is healthcare. We haven’t stopped fighting to restore this necessary care, and will continue to do so as long it takes. #txlege

I think everyone should have access to quality mental healthcare.
But we also need community support.
So I created the Legacy Members Club, a safe space for Black women.
We will have support groups, webinars, courses, guided meditations, workshops, etc for Black women who don’t have a therapist or just want a little extra support.

Coalition members like @putkids1st are making a final urge to lawmakers to fill the funding gap that would bring mental health supports to students across Texas through a School Mental Health Allotment. #TXLege drive.google.com/file/d/1s4m…

A half-century later, low-income families, particularly low-income families of color, are still being harmed. “Nonwhite school districts get $23 billion less than White districts despite serving the same number of students,” according to an analysis by @EdBuild. 10/
