So, I have a personal story I want to share. One I've been reflecting on a lot in recent days because of certain narratives.
In the 1970s, my Conservative parents joined a Christian group that was co-opting Judaism. They were Messianic Jews, or Jews for Jesus. 🧵/1
To be clear, all denominations of Judaism, as well as national Jewish organizations, reject Messianic Judaism as a form of Judaism.
But, it was how I was raised. Stupid me, until I was in my early 20s, I really believed I was Jewish. 🤦🏻♀️ /2

So, I've started looking at some of the GOP primary races. I think I'll make this a 🧵, because I can't be the only one to witness this clown show. /1
Contestant #1 includes a picture with a constitution and a lion. His "about page" quotes the Communist Manifesto. /2

People on the left in Texas, progressives, liberals, and Democrats, often talk about how terrible our Republican government is, but we don’t often give thanks to the Democrats on the front lines, working hard to protect our democracy. 🧵/1
Thank you, to @johnbryantfortx, for every point of order that killed a piece of Republican legislation meant to harm the people in this state. /2

I can't write today. I've been trying for hours but keep getting an overwhelming feeling of sadness and frustration.
Watching what happened to peaceful trans protesters in Austin yesterday was maddening. Then knowing that on the same day, the Senate passed a bill... 🧵/1
... that would allow them to overturn Houston's elections pisses me off to no end.
This isn't Texas, nor should this be happening in Texas. However, watching the Legislature this year, it is apparently clear. White, racist fascists control our government. They do not.... /2

Last year, @JasmineForUS said something that I haven't forgotten. During an @MSNBC interview, she mentioned how many trust fund babies serve in the #txlege. I've been researching, and I'm only 2/3 done, but so far, I've counted 33. (I'm sure there's more.) 🧵/1
It's obscene because even before the pandemic, Texas led the nation in child poverty, with 1.4 million children living under the poverty line 70% of those children are children of color.
One in every five children in Texas is hungry and suffers from food insecurity. /2
