The fire of community work never happens in isolation, though it can often feel that way. We carry it forward in the glow of our ancestors, ignited by the flames of our community legends, and arm-in-arm with powerful illuminators bringing our lights to new paths.

It’s been quite a while since the last time a stranger on the street called me a faggot.
Good to know my intimidation strategy of locking eyes and silently staring them down until they walk away is still effective. 🫶🏼

As a trans person, and especially as a trans woman of color, showing up openly in public service is both deeply personal and profoundly defiant. It affirms that public service belongs to all of us, and that our communities, our voices, and our leadership cannot be erased.

Do you think trailblazers like Shirley Chisholm, Harvey Milk, or Andrea Jenkins received apologies from the people who said they were unelectable?

Always wild when people with no connection to TX (or any other southern state) have opinions about TX politics.
Anyway, I just donated again to @jasmineforus.bsky.social because she absolutely has a pathway to victory. If you support black women, you should, too.

Jasmine Crockett for U.S. Senate
I’m running for the United States Senate because I believe Texas deserves a Senator who will be an independent voice for all 30 million Texans -- not a rubber stamp or party line vote for Donald Trump...

If someone is poorly clothed, hungry, and scared, and you tell them, “Bless you. Be warm and filled. Be safe,” without giving them what they need, what good is that? Thoughts and prayers, without action, is useless. Faith by itself, without works, is dead.
