Disenfranchising women is a key project of Christian nationalism.

Secular AZ is st the Coronado Street Fair in #Phoenix today! Come say hi and grab some swag. We’re on the south side of Palm Lane, toward 12th St.

This tracks.

This thread is one year old today, and, unfortunately, it is even more important to be reading and preserving trans stories than when it started. I truly thank everyone who has contributed to it, everyone who has kept sharing it, and everyone who has made a point to buy books from these authors. 🧵

The ESA voucher scam is part of “an organized effort to create an environment where it is hard for public schools to exist.” Project 2025 uses Arizona’s failed universal ESA voucher program as a model – now, the Trump administration is pushing to roll it out across the country😡

I'll be chatting with @secularaz.bsky.social about The Originalism Trap today at noon Arizona Time (2pm ET) Join us! secularaz.org/single-event...

Blatant discrimination. This hateful bill now heads for the Senate. azmirror.com/2025/02/20/a...

Here’s how to use Request to Speak in #Arizona: secularaz.org/election-res... Here’s how to find your representatives: secularaz.org/azlegislator... Here’s the AZ Leg Committee members: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

There's still time to register for tomorrow's presentation! Don't miss.

The GOP-controlled legislature has had 9 yrs to prepare for the loss of $30m in revenue for #Arizona schools. But instead, they're passing bills that ban books, discriminate against trans people, gut environmental protections, force students to say the Pledge of Allegiance, whitewash history...

Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes. You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment. My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc. www.reddit.com/r/Passports/...

Over the past two days, a federal judge in DC has been holding a hearing over the constitutionality of Trump’s anti-trans military executive order. A ruling isn’t expected for around two weeks, but what happened Tuesday and Wednesday is important. Here’s my report at Law Dork:

That's definitely a ...choice... on the part of these #Arizona mayors. Let them know what you think about this association. azmirror.com/briefs/small...

In other words, our representatives aren’t representative. Secular AZ amplifies your voice!

You won't believe what went down at the PUSD Board meeting. Secular AZ's Jeanne Casteen summarizes this almost-8-hour meeting, aka complete 💩show characterized by willful ignorance. tl/dr: PUSD students, families & educators deserve so much better than this. secularaz.substack.com/p/pusd-board...

The billionaires have been working on their merger with the evangelicals and “conservatives” for decades…abortion was the wedge issue to get Christians to vote against their own good. It was never about babies. It was to bring about a coup…it is an oligarchy taking over the US inch by inch.

Hey #Arizona! Use RTS/contact your elected officials to take action on these (terrible) bills this week. Instructions in the link below. secularaz.org/action_alert...

Public policy based on Christian hate causes real harm. “Republican lawmakers, including Rep. Lupe Diaz of Benson and Rep. Khyl Powell of Gilbert, said they based their votes on their Christian faith, with Powell adding that he thinks “we all believe in God.”

The suit seeks to both “unwind” the actions Musk has already taken as well as block any future moves by Musk and DOGE staffers. www.azcentral.com/story/news/p...

This is where you go to tell the National Park Service to restore the word "transgender" in its entry on the Stonewall monument. (Scroll down.)

NEW: Anti-abortion groups want to enforce a 150-year-old law to ban abortion pills, which would be deeply unpopular. Now they're trying to rebrand the Comstock Act as an anti-drug trafficking statute, a move one expert compared to Nixon's manufactured War on Drugs. Me in @jezebeldotcom.bsky.social:

I'll be joining a @secularaz.bsky.social webinar tomorrow to talk about Skrmetti and broader attacks on gender-affirming care under Trump. Please join us! secularaz.org/single-event...

When we’re focused on fighting each other, we won’t notice how protections for everyday Americans are being pillaged by the Billionaire Broligarchs.

27 religious groups are suing over the Trump admin’s immigration enforcement in houses of worship, saying that “Welcoming the stranger, or immigrant, is thus a central precept of their faith practices.”

But I thought MAGA really really really really really cared about women in sports?

Let the Mayor and the City Council know what you think of this decision. www.scottsdaleaz.gov/council

How will these cruel bans be enforced? Trump admin says through loss of federal funding from the Department of Education… that Trump admin says they’ll eradicate.
