The elections are on next Tuesday, and so much is at stake, including the soul of the Democratic Party when it comes to transgender people. I am asking you to leave a very small number of races blank in which a Democrat has embraced extreme anti-trans hate. I make my case here.

Sorry man this guy’s gotta lose I don’t care who the fuck he’s running against. If these loudly anti-trans Dems don’t lose, it’s going to take us thirty years to get back the rights we’ve lost in the past five.
Josh Turek of Iowa, Democrat, comes out with one of the worst anti-trans ads yet. Not only is it an anti-sports ad, it proposes a ban on federal funding for gender affirming care. That would hit all medicaid and medicare patients, and any ACA federally-subsidized plans as well. Horrific.

The President has no right to block election results if the wrong candidate wins. The Justice Department has no blanket right to demand private voter data. ICE has no right to intimidate voters. The law is on our side. Exercise it. www.lwv.org/blog/midterm... @lwv.org @brennancenter.org @aclu.org

Same. There always a choice to write in candidates
I will never vote for an anti-transgender Democrat like Josh Turek and you should not either. I'll probably be writing my case to abstain from a handful of races like his on Monday. Josh Turek is showing the exact slippery slope I've called out, in real time.
Voting is a voice even if the voice doesn’t win it’s not reason to stay home. Please vote.
Please vote. I’m not so foolish as to think they’ll gently give up their power. I do think that a massive number against them will make that case more daunting of an endeavor for them to argue though. We need these numbers to be indisputable.

Good news y'all
BREAKING: SCOTUS rejects Trump admin's request to allow it to end gender-affirming medical care in prisons — a significant, if tentative, rejection of one of the admin's most extreme anti-trans arguments. Only Thomas and Alito noted they would have granted the stay. More to come: www.lawdork.com
I joined…you should too and support artists
CHASING CARS features a vulnerable, authentic voice, a friendship to rival any romance, and epistolary elements that explore what the protagonist struggles to say out loud. It is at turns both heartbreaking and heartwarming. Back this Kickstarter with an all trans team now!

Meta gave $1M to Trump's inauguration fund — and Mark Zuckerberg himsef has helped bankroll Trump's ballroom. Now Trump's DOJ has halted a years-long criminal investigation into allegedly enabling and profiting from illegal drug sales on its platforms. Funny how that works, huh?

More than 80% of the ads were produced by Republican campaigns or Republican-aligned political action committees. Nearly half had AI generated clips of actual politicians saying and doing things they haven't said or done. 70% had no disclaimer that AI was used. But regulating is bad, apparently.🤷♀️

Under the guise of ‘impartiality’, right-wing forces are increasingly focused on controlling and restricting which materials, topics and perspectives young people have access to
Newsom is only a friend to his own self interest. Do not be fooled
It’s bad enough that Gavin Newsom opposes California’s Prop 40. But he also supports Prop 42, a billionaire-backed poison pill that would cancel out Prop 40 entirely and make it impossible to enact future wealth taxes. It’s clear whose side he’s on. Remember this in 2028.

Thank you Mayor
Last month, we refurbished 10 tennis courts in Crotona Park — the only public tennis courts in the Bronx with lights for night play. We stopped by recently to see how things were going. Thank you to NYJTL, USTA and Yonex for helping us deliver high-quality public spaces that New Yorkers deserve.

Giving an external committee power to veto research funding because it doesn’t align to a political agenda will not only harm science, it is a threat to democracy.
