What's scarier than a Friday the 13th in October?
The prospect of Republicans taking control of Virginia's state legislature next month.
Here's why absolutely everyone should care—and help avoid that outcome—even if you don't live in the Commonwealth. https://t.co/5avnjrfBOx
Maryland has been declared a trans sanctuary state.

As a parent I’m not worried that my 9 and 13 year olds are going to be “indoctrinated” with “wokeness” at school.
I’m not worried that they’re going to ‘feel guilty about their whiteness’ because they’re learning accurate history.
I’m not worried that they’re going to be “groomed” to become furries and to make their pees pees in litter boxes.
Those things aren’t real.
Wanna know what is real?
My worry that they’re going to get shot. That someone with an AR-15 is going to go into their school and shoot them.
So, while the same gun fetishizing, AR-15 lapel pin wearing, locked and loaded family Christmas card posing Republicans fear monger & manufacture crises under the guise of “parents rights”, I say this:
It is my right as a parent to send my kids to school without worrying that they will get shot.
It ain’t the drag queens, the African American history, the books with two moms or two seahorse dads which threaten our kids.
It’s the fucking guns.
Want to know where all the middle aged women are on Sunday afternoon? I found them at the movies reminiscing with @judyblume’s Are You There God, It’s Me Margaret.
Tennessee State Rep. Justin Pearson speaks after vote to expel him from the House over participating in gun protests: “Our lives are at stake. And we're going to fight for our lives, just like they're fighting for the NRA." #TenneseeThree
Today, I took executive action to protect access to gender-affirming health care in Minnesota.
My message is clear: Here in Minnesota, our LGBTQ+ neighbors will not be denied or punished for seeking life-affirming and lifesaving medical care.
The national fight for transgender rights has begun.
The House will be debating HR734, a national anti-trans sports ban.
4 years ago, the Alliance Defending Freedom and American Principles Project admitted to starting with sports to pave the way for full attacks on all rights.
There’s a word for what we’re seeing from @GovRonDeSantis right now: Fascism.
We cannot back down while he targets LGBTQ+ folks, Black people, Immigrants, working families, and KIDS.
Michael Knowles said "eradicate transgenderism from public life."
Republicans are doing exactly that.
28 states propose to:
- Strip us from meds
- Arrest us in bathrooms
- Take away kids
- Define us out of the law

Hundreds of New York Times contributors and readers: We’re concerned that the anti-trans bias in your paper could have devastating effects, both on individuals and society as a whole.
The New York Times:
WATCH: Del. @pwcdanica's powerful statement on the House floor today, calling out the hypocrisy behind the anti-trans sports ban.
Trans youth playing sports isn't a problem. Period.
🎉VICTORY 🎉 Tonight a Senate subcommittee recommended killing all three trans healthcare bans! We expect these bills to be officially dead after the full committee meets on Thursday! #TransYouthBelongVA#VAleg
