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.

This is absolutely correct, but I worry that "truth and reconciliation" will sound too foreign to Americans who have long been allergic to truth and/or reconciliation. I'd just say "we're finally going to hold people who broke the law and violated the Constitution accountable for their crimes"

Years ago, I remember someone writing a screed about someone Carly Simon befriended on an AOL board. She responded with one word, "Goodness." Some drunk stayed up all night to write a loooooong email about how horrible I was. I responded, "Goodness." It drove him crazy. Thank you, Carly Simon.
