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.

erininthemorning.comDon’t Vote For The Worst Anti-Trans DemocratsThe Democratic Party should, and likely will, win big in the midterms. We must not send the worst anti-trans voices to join them.

the october surprise is a bunch of dem candidates real like the idea of trans oppression

Erin Reed@erininthemorning.com

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.

I’m exhausted from being used as a political attacking point daily by BOTH US political parties. My choices, my own body, my life. 🏳️‍⚧️ What I do for myself has never harmed anyone else, except possibly their fragile inner egos. Too afraid to confront themselves so instead spread hate anger and fear.

my mother complained that her new car’s collision avoidance system won’t let her pull into her carport while dad is standing in the way 😳

A reminder: there is no "it's just sports" or "it's just trans youth care." These bans are evil themselves and lay the foundation for further attacks on our lives. Anti-trans Democrats, like congressional candidate Jamie Ager, are collaborating with genocide. There can be no compromise:

A girl won the role of Seymour in South Grand Prairie High School in Texas. Then, the district freaked out because of Texas' anti-trans and anti-gay law. So they tried to strip her role and give it to a boy. She refused, so now they are cancelling the play. Subscribe to support our journalism.

erininthemorning.comTexas School Kills ‘Little Shop Of Horrors’ After Girl Cast As Seymour, Citing Anti-LGBTQ+ LawFollowing backlash, the school gave one young actress’s role to a boy—and told her to share the role of Audrey with another girl as consolation. Then they cancelled it altogether.

my god! why do they always reach to the right for votes and never reach to the left???

If you’re a Republican feeling left behind by your party, this is a campaign for you.

Rather than cover the cost of gender affirming care for trans youth under medicaid, Colorado is voluntarily enacting the republican "taper and detransition" policy for youth on medicaid and dropping coverage. WTF.

Aleksandra Vaca@transiticsnews.com

Colorado & Michigan have become the latest blue states to end Medicaid coverage for trans youth. Solidly blue Colorado will also be IMMEDIATELY shutting off care for all trans kids receiving puberty blockers—despite Trump's rule allowing a 6 month ‘tapering’ period. This is a complete betrayal.

google gemini saved my house and probably my life. during research about some new circuits i need, gemini urged me to immediately remove a specific circuit breaker from my electrical panel even though i wasn’t have an issue with this particular 60 amp breaker i’m glad i took its advice

i’m putting in a new heat pump at home and need three new circuits. gemini was helping me build a parts list and recommended specific siemens breakers for my panel. when i asked why not just use certain eaton breakers like i was already using, it basically threw a fit

it told me that even though the eaton breaker fit and crouse-hinds was now owned by eaton, that there was a micro gap between the breaker contacts and the panel tab which would cause micro arcing and to remove it immediately and i’ll be damned, IT WAS CORRECT!

my electric panel is by crouse-hinds, which is now owned by eaton. when i added a new 60 amp circuit 3 years ago, all sources were telling me that a specific eaton breaker was compatible with my panel. it’s been in place for THREE YEARS

WELKER: Earlier this year you said President Trump should be impeached. What do you see as his impeachable offenses? EL-SAYED: Like, which one? There are many. Making sure that every president understands who comes after Trump that there is a rule of law I think that is absolutely critical

pouring one out for my friend, todd cramer, may he rest in peace his birthday is today, national coming out day. he was the founder of knoxville pridefest, and one of the most charitable, giving, and optimist men i’ve ever known. miss him 💔

i’m watching last night’s snl and every skit that features shane gillis, including his monologue, is uncomfortable

i’m currently on book 8 of a 10 book series. this is a really engaging story of cyclical apocalypse in one country and a group of young adults training to be alchemists, wizards, and battle mages with strong anti-theist themes and the rewards of hard work and study. 5 stars would recommend

If you say we have to vote for non-trans-supportive Dems to stop Republicans… 1. Would you say that if they supported literacy tests at the polls to "cut down on illegals voting"? 2. Would you say the same thing if they said they support bans on abortions until the woman has 9 months of therapy?

it’s not inaccurate. “undertakes substantial DIY home improvement projects” is like my whole vibe

Amazon users are discovering a bizarre "About You" page that reveals what the company thinks it knows about them One woman found Amazon had determined she "has flat buttocks"

sometimes i’m afraid that if i dress too butch that someone will yell at me, “YOU’LL NEVER BE A REAL MAN!” and i won’t know whether to be frightened or flattered

i guess you don’t always have to respond with “STOP” in order to stop unsolicited campaign donation request text messages

my daughter gave birth a few months ago and i’m shocked at the price of formula and diapers formula and diapers should be free for babies. i mean, you’re basically raising a future taxpayer. the least this country could do is invest in this future wage earner. big ROI for sure

the very last thing we need is donald trump and rfk jr at the helm during another worldwide pandemic. it would be the end of us all
