This part: "The moment you compromise the rights of a trans person in America, you compromise the rights of every citizen in America."
Trans voter to @AOC: Trans people in America feel like they've been abandoned by the Democratic Party, that we are a losing issue, that it's not worth defending us. What do you say to that?

Someone is impersonating a Texas group that supports trans youth.
It’s no coincidence that this is happening while early voting is underway and MAGA continues attacking trans people.
It's not our fault that MAGA is failing to cut costs. We deserve safety, not to be scapegoated.
Mailers from a mysterious group purporting to represent transgender students have riled up voters in Texas as early voting gets underway.
But the Texas Transgender Student Union that sent the brochures and similar text messages that went out to voters earlier this month appears to have been created just weeks ago — and is registered as an LLC in Wyoming.

It’s time for Susan Collins to go.
Maine is ready for a change in power. That’s why we’re proud to endorse @troyjackson207 for U.S. Senate, a strong advocate for LGBTQ+ rights and access to care across the board.

It's been 28 years since Matthew Shepard was killed in a violent anti-LGBTQ hate crime.
I’m fighting to ban the bigoted 'panic' defense used by one of his killers from being used in federal court. I will always work to protect LGBTQ+ Americans from violence with my colleagues in the @EqualityCaucus.

BREAKING: In a new book, Supreme Court Justice Alito says the court's landmark decision extending marriage rights was "perhaps the decisive point in our nation's turn against religious liberty."
This election, we’ll make sure that who we love is never again up for debate.

.@malcolmkenyatta is what leadership looks like.
He has served honorably as the first out gay, Black man in the Pennsylvania legislature — and no one deserves the kind of appalling, anti-LGBTQ+ hatred that Rep. Bernstine displayed.
Rep. Bernstine should be removed immediately.
Inbox: The state House's Black and LGBTQ caucuses are calling for Bernstine to resign and for House GOP leadership to "identify the steps they will take to guard against this kind of pathetic behavior within their caucus."
