We’re at Winslow #Pride today! come say hi and grab some Secular AZ swag!! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🩷

A polygamous sect leader has been convicted on child abuse charges in Arizona while already serving a 50-year sentence in federal prison for orchestrating sex involving children.

Oh, unfortunately, we think about it every day. A “faith director” in every federal agency isn't a victory for religious liberty. It's an attempt to weave religion into the machinery of government. That's exactly why we have church-state separation.

Take action: Hate is unacceptable in #Arizona. It's especially unacceptable when coming from a school board member. Kim Fisher refuses to resign after giving a Nazi salute, so a recall effort is underway. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

We're so disappointed that Gov. Hobbs signed this bill... and this article explains exactly why. www.lookoutnews.org/hobbs-signs-...

Texas is poised to require all public school students read the Bible as part of their mandatory book list, potentially violating the First Amendment's Establishment Clause.

On Dobbs anniversary Hobbs warns of her GOP opponents’ past abortion ban support azmirror.com/2026/06/24/o...

This week @ucs.org launches a new interactive tool on the staggering 574 attacks on science so far under the Trump Administration. It's hard to convey the full scope and severity of what's happening but this tool helps us make sense of it and what we can all do about it: www.attacksonscience.org

Today is the fourth anniversary of the Dobbs decision that overturned Roe v. Wade. RNG has documented the human consequences of the decision and what that means for abortion access nationwide. Read our essential coverage of what the repro justice landscape looks like post-Dobbs, all in one place:

"The Republican justices are extraordinarily concerned about whether it is fair to hold prison guards responsible for violating incarcerated people’s rights. They were not at all concerned with whether it is fair to incarcerated people to allow prison guards to violate their rights with impunity."

Remember how CDC “Director” Jay Bhattacharya abused his power and blocked the CDC’s journal, MMWR, from publishing a paper showing the clear benefit of COVID19 vaccination among healthy adults? Well, it was just published by a very reputable journal. Hope you enjoy the humiliation, Jay.

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has said that new funding is going to be sent to faith-based recovery programs, instead of to secular evidence-based organizations. ffrf.us/4w4Kk0X

Happy #Arizona #Humanism Day and World Humanism Day to all!

We, as a nation, are collectively missing a great opportunity to get RFK Jr to drink from the reflecting pool.

Join us today at noon and learn how license plates fund hate in #Arizona and beyond!

I curated a (mostly) exhaustive list of Juneteenth celebrations across the country. Chances are there’s one near you!

RFK Jr. says that HPV vaccine is “dangerous and defective”. A new study from England shows that HPV vaccines have reduced deaths from cervical cancer to ZERO for women aged 20-24. Significant reductions in older age groups were observed as well, though the latter have lower vaccination coverage.

Governor Hobbs has signed HB2312, which allows "patriotic" organizations to access public schools. What will this mean for Arizona schools? HB2312 and “Patriotic Access” in Public Schools: Federal Incorporation, Equal Access, and Constitutional Tensions secularaz.beehiiv.com/p/hb2312-and...

Two cases, Little v. Hecox and West Virginia v. BPJ, task the justices with determining, in different ways, the constitutionality under the 14th Amendment of state bans on school sports participation based on sex assigned at birth.

Every time someone buys an AZ "In God We Trust" specialty license plate, $ goes to an anti-LGBTQ hate group. These plates have funneled hundreds of thousands of dollars to groups that advocate for discriminatory laws and policies that restrict reproductive rights. Join us Friday 6/19 to discuss.

Church-state separation isn't anti-religion. It's the reason everyone — believer or not — gets to live and believe as they choose. It protects all beliefs equally, including yours. Learn more about church-state separation: au.org

A women's empowerment conference where women are told they shouldn't be able to vote? That was the TPUSA approach last weekend. @matthewdtaylor.bsky.social explains on the Axis Daily Brief. Full video/article here: axismundinetwork.substack.com/p/the-womens...

The Trump admin appears to have quietly revised language in an obscure grant program, redefining frozen embryos as children. Repro health experts described the move as “a Trojan horse” — creating a precedent that could threaten access to fertility treatments like IVF and ban abortion nationwide.

Inside the push to keep RFK Jr.’s vaccine agenda alive: Kennedy and a small group of advisors are trying to reshape our vaccine infrastructure behind the scenes, to support Kennedy's anti-vaccine biases. wapo.st/3SNfafW via @rachelroubein.bsky.social @lenasun.bsky.social @washingtonpost.com

This story is long but I guarantee you will be riveted to the foolishness of Tennessee allowing over-the-counter ivermectin distribution after an anti-vaccine doc lobbied the legislature in 2022, saying she'd taken "bucketloads" of the anti-parasitic drug. Hats off to @kffhealthnews.org.

Hey #Arizona, take action NOW! Contact Gov Hobbs and ask her to VETO SB1573, which allows religious groups to indoctrinate public school students, and SB1751, which pushes courts to make decisions based on Christian nationalist dogma. Both bills are on her desk now and time's running out to veto.

Some women at a Turning Point USA summit talked about relinquishing their right to vote to create a “more conservative” country. Here’s why we can’t afford to laugh it off as ridiculous. substack.com/home/post/p-...

Putting RFK jr. (a eugenicist) in charge of Special Ed at the federal level is just one more act of violence against disabled kids. It is also an obvious move in an ongoing consolidation of the federal government towards authoritarian power and fascism.

They’ll say and do anything to keep women from controlling their own bodies: Republican attorneys general urge EPA to classify mifepristone as water contaminant azmirror.com/2026/06/15/r...

JD Vance: "One of the things I love about the American church is there are all of these different pathways to God ... sometimes with snake handlers, sometimes with speaking in tongues, sometimes with a beautiful Catholic mass. But I think all of these pathways really matter."

Amazing! Gov Hobbs officially declares June 21 WORLD #HUMANIST DAY! Thanks to Audrey Benenati and NW Phoenix Humanists for making it happen.

I went to Utah to see what life is like in America's new reality, where vaccine-preventable diseases are common again. Utah's measles outbreak has lasted 10 months. Pediatricians teared up in interviews. Mothers were stressed. 🧵My latest @wired.com @kffhealthnews.org www.wired.com/story/anguis...

There are currently three federal book ban bills aiming to ban all trans books from U.S. public schools! HR 2616, HR 8705, HR 7661. Please call your representatives and ask them to vote no on these bills! Follow @authorsabb.bsky.social for updates. #bookbans #bookchallenges #HR2616 #HR8705 #HR7661

Dirty backroom dealing at AZ legislature 🤬 weekly.cebv.us/2026-06-15/?...

🤢 AZ Legislature ends 2026 session after late-night GOP push to send conservative agenda to voters azmirror.com/2026/06/13/a...

Snake oil and misinformation grows when it is sanitized, presented with false balance, and the line is softened between evidence and speculation.

ACTION ALERT! The AZGOP is negotiating a backroom deal to stop the Protect Education Initiative and efforts to reign in the $1 billion ESA voucher program. It's anti-democratic, anti-public school, and an affront to the hundreds of thousands of voters who have signed. secularaz.org/action_alert...
