McAuliff was among the 13 Democrats elected to the legislature in Virginia’s elections earlier this month, as part of a blowout victory for the party that gives it firm control of the southern state’s government.

The Virginia Democrats flipped the last Republican-held seat in Loudoun County blue this year when they won #HD30. John McAuliff was the one to do so, winning this Trump+1 district by two points. This makes him the most successful Virginian named McAuliff(e) this decade

@profgabriele.com I am enjoying your roundtable class on Middle Ages. Do you have any recommendations for a well written book about the Crusades? Or even one of the Crusades? Suitable for intelligent sophisticated non-academics? Thank you!

This Sun. Oct. 12th @kathykltran.bsky.social is teaming up with @VAasiandemocrats.bsky.social and Franconia Dems to knock doors with John McAuliff because John's race is critical to protecting and expanding our Democratic Majority in the House of Delegates. Sign-up below!

Great fundraiser yesterday for John McAuliff hosted by Del. David Reid. This is currently the closest polling state legislature race in Virginia and all of Loudoun is fired up to help us flip Loudoun’s last red seat!

In HD30, @McAuliff4VA (D) outraised his Republican opponent, Del. Geary Higgins, $203k-$136k in July-August, had a bit less cash-on-hand ($258k for McAuliff vs. $289k for Higgins). Go McAuliff! bluevirginia.us/2025/09/virg... h/t @vpapupdates

Assigned Media tracked down every single queer author who withdrew from the Polari Prize after they longlisted a self-proclaimed TERF, and linked to all their books. These authors showed solidarity and our story is blowing up with traffic from people who want to support them in return.

Great reading list

Keeping track of people withdrawing from the Polari Prize Longlist over the inclusion of proud self-described "TERF" John Boyne. Let me know as we get updates on authors pulling their books in protest.

Projections have HD30 as the closest race in the House of Delegates this year. Flipping this seat blue will take everything we got. Join us in the fight! secure.actblue.com/donate/j4vaw... @statenavigate.org

Before you spend money on that auction, please know that those are only props and costumes. They hold no magic. The coolest things are the things you made around the show. I’m ambivalent about auctions around Our Flag that don’t benefit an independent artist or larger cause.

Yes! For anyone who missed the news, the government must now allow those impacted by Trump's order to receive a passport with their correct gender listed while our case proceeds. The State Department issued guidance for how to apply for a new or updated passport. We recommend applying now.

@bschillace.brandyschillace.com hi! I have selected Intermediaries for the August book of the history book club I run. I reach out to authors to ask for questions they could suggest for discussion or anything they would like the group to know. We would be thrilled if you have any thoughts to share!

The defunding of public media, the gutting of the Washington Post and LA Times, and the cancelation of Stephen Colbert by Paramount is all connected. It's part of a hostile takeover of our entire information space by the oligarchs. www.thedissident.news/the-oligarch...

Everyone needs to understand that the defunding of public broadcasting this week is part of a broader effort to dismantle the free press and control the means of reality production itself. www.thedissident.news/the-oligarch...

The Supreme Court in the Skrmetti case ruled against medical care, dignity and freedom for trans youth, and parental rights. In the comments are some meaningful things you can do. But first sign this petition pushing back on anti-LGBTQ+ legislation: lnkd.in/gGCAGcht

Largest trans survey ever finds the top reason transgender people stop transitioning is transphobia “In almost every single case, the reason was anti-trans discrimination in the form of pressure to ‘detransition’ from one’s family, friends, or community,” the survey found.

Alright everyone, one last push. If you or anyone you know is: - LGBTQ+ - 13-24 years old - In the US Trevor Project is recruiting responses for their survey on LGBTQ+ mental health. It has HUGE impacts on policy, please take it and share widely if you can :) trvr.org/survey2025

On Sunday, Loudoun community members gathered at Vino9Market, to support John McAuliff as he launched his campaign for HD-30. His dedication, experience, and commitment will make him a strong voice for HD-30 in Richmond.

Grateful to Delegate Marcus Simon for bringing us together to support Democrats running in competitive districts. I was proud to speak alongside John McAuliff — this is how we win in November! #VA22

1. The US Transgender Survey has finally been released, and the results are stunning. - <1% of people are less satisfied after HRT. - The most common reason for detransition, pausing transition, or stopping transition is transphobia. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

In advance of what will likely be a landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision in the U.S. v. Skrmetti case, the Trans Journalists Association offers the following guidance to reporters, newsrooms, and others responding to the ruling. www.transjournalists.org/2025-skrmett...

In case y'all missed it - Utah Republicans ordered a study on transgender healthcare, expecting it to come back unsupportive. Instead, it found that trans youth care was safe and effective, and that transgender youth need it. Whoops. www.sltrib.com/news/politic...

Utah legislators commissioned a study to go with their 2023 ban on gender-affirming pediatric care. Now they're trying to ignore the results.

I will not vote for any member of a congress that passes a bill banning trans care. Don't care what side you're on, and don't care if you're running for dogcatcher. I don't care if the GOP runs things. Figure out how to stop it or I'll vote for someone who will.

They actually had honest researchers.

A small bright: as part of its legislation banning transition-related care for young people the UT legislature commissioned a study: which found the care leads to much more positive outcomes. Please help boost this within your network, it would uplift a lot of transgender kids and their families.

Democrats just flipped the Omaha mayor's office with ads like this. The right-wing obsession with genitals is starting to backfire.

The forced removal of thousands of honorably serving trans service members is one of the most sweeping acts of government-imposed bigotry in modern times. Its shameful, unexplained 6-3 approval by the Supreme Court will weaken the armed forces and stain our nation’s legacy slate.com/news-and-pol...

My family found a home here after fleeing the pogroms in Ukraine. This country accepted us as refugees when we had nothing except the shirts on our backs. We've seen what can happen when we don't speak up about the dangers — it's time to raise the alarm now.

Omg. This makes so much sense.
