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.

erininthemorning.comKilling of Woman May Have Been Justifiable Because She Was Trans, Tennessee Court RulesThe case is a bitter reminder of the ways LGBTQ people have had their identities weaponized by the courts in the past, most notoriously through a legal defense tactic known as gay or trans “panic.”

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.

Just a reminder that people don’t always realize they were raped in the immediate aftermath. It can take hours, days, months, and even years to realize you were raped, and it doesn’t make it any less true. There are many kinds of responses, including fawning and trying to appease your rapist

then: organize. abandon the idea that u only have power in the voting booth. not saying you shouldn't vote. just saying if that's the extent of yr civic engagement then yr giving up a whole lot of power. elections happen in cycles but politics happens every day; it must if we are to fight fascism.

@transvestigations.bsky.socialSep 30, 2026, 4:38 PM

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.

Definitely click through on this story for the quotes from the Third Way spokesperson, who AGREED Democratic candidates should NOT adopt Republican language on trans issues. I was floored - even tried to get Billie to put it in the headline. This is not just analysis, these quotes are news.

Democrats seem headed for big wins, but one avenue for self-sabotage would be adopting R's framing on trans rights. @billiejsweeney.bsky.social spoke with insiders incl Lanae Erikson of Third Way and Rep. Sarah McBride for this substanial piece of new reporting. assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...
