Update: The minibus that included HHS funding passed the House without any anti-trans riders. This almost guarantees the HHS bill will pass the Senate with no anti-trans riders. A huge victory for trans people despite tons of anti-trans attack ads.

A Minnesota high school student was nabbed by ICE agents as she was trying to pick up food for her family after work. She was violently dragged from her car and lost her shoes. So, barefoot in the middle of winter, she was put into the back of an unmarked car in a small town (Willmar).

ICE detained a 5-year-old Minnesota boy coming home from school + took him and his dad to Texas, school officials say. The family has an active asylum case + entered the US at a port of entry.
"They’re taking children. They're not violent criminals. They're little kids," the superintendent told me.

whatever you think of Spanberger, the fact that her opponent ran a campaign based almost entirely on transphobia and is on track to eat shit in the biggest blowout the state has seen since 2009 is unambiguously a huge win
Earle-Sears ran what felt like 12 billion ads about how much she hated trans kids and I didn’t hear a single pundit say she should stick to real issues that affect real people.

Trans people should take heart in these numbers. It proves that anti-trans messaging doesn't decide elections or doesn't automatically sway swing voters to Republicans. Republicans anti-trans messaging is a proxy for "Democrats care more about social issues than they care about you."
Winsome Earle-Sears has consistently hit Abigail Spanberger on transgender issues. But a new poll from Christopher Newport University shows that voters say Spanberger would do a better job handling transgender policy by 13 points. #VAPol #VAGov
