A Black woman, an Indigenous woman, and a Latina walk into a bar. The bartender says, "What can I get you, Governors?”
saw a clip of a Gina Hinojosa interview earlier and for the first time in my life I got to proudly say “that’s my governor!” it really is a good life🥹

I just don’t think it’s cute to be so loudly and rudely dismissive of the thousands of POC, LGBT+ folk, and other marginalized people who have fought so hard to make the state a better place for everybody. “I claim Texas now” no, thank you, we don’t need your condescension.

Idk man those posts rub me the wrong way because so many people have wrongly assumed Texas to be a wholly red, unredeemable state all these years and it’s like no? There are so many people here whose votes have been stifled, and we finally broke through. But we have been here!

“Omg I’m not embarrassed to be from Texas anymore” ok so you’re just going to pretend there aren’t hundreds of thousands of Texans who fought tooth and nail for the past couple of decades to make this happen and have proudly been a part of the state you’re “embarrassed” about.🥴

and fuck everybody who has ever talked shit about texas especially people outside of the south because this wouldn't have happened if there weren't very HARD WORKING diverse communities down here making efforts that constantly were overlooked

the biggest takeaway i’m hoping for from today is for people from historically left-leaning states to stop viewing texans, and other southerners, as irredeemable and backwards, writ large. and this didn’t change tonight, or even this year, because we’ve always been here
