Sherrod Brown's new response to an anti-trans ad is remarkably different from many other dems. Instead of accepting bigotry towards trans people, he pivots and links his Republican opponent to the Epstein files. It is notably different from his earlier ads. Subscribe to support our journalism.

A Tennessee appellate court has ruled that the killing of a woman may have been justifiable because she was trans. The court reversed a conviction, stating that the killer could have a new trial because the jury did not know the woman killed was trans. Trans panic in the modern era.

Holy shit.
It's disgusting how A4te has treated its own staff. They deserve so much better than this. The one line email to staff announcing their termination was so egregious.

This Wednesday, Elon Musk called for the death sentence for transgender youth care providers. It was in reply to a post calling for full criminalization of all gender-affirming surgery. Musk is becoming even more radicalized in targeting trans people. Subscribe to support our journalism.

stop calling voting a "deeply personal" thing like its a god u pray to, like the electoral process like is the epitome of the human condition or civics. voting is ONE political tool of many. don't vote ur conscience, vote ur strategy.
