@camglamming.bsky.social

🔥 New Cynthia’s Corner is up.
Christian Nationalism isn’t about faith — it’s White Supremacy with a cross on top.

Trump’s shutdown didn’t just stall the government — it traumatized Black federal workers who kept it running.
We need to talk about who pays the price.

The #BlueWave hit hard last night 🌊 — key races flipped blue and California’s Prop 50 passed, reshaping House districts and rejecting Trump-era power grabs.

This wasn’t just an election. It was a referendum.

Eight women out. Staff of color gone. CBS News calls it “restructuring” — we call it what it is: systemic bias at work.

New episode: The Roots Matter
