Hi there,
š¤” George Santos is back in the news. The lying former Republican lawmaker is facing more than seven years in prison after prosecutors announced in a filing that they are seeking an 87-month prison term for him.
šÆļø We are remembering two trans women killed recently by violence. Ervianna 'Baydee' Johnson of North Carolina and Kaitoria Bankz in Alabama. Rest in power.
šØ Florida Capitol police arrested a young trans woman for trying to use the restroom. The Advocate spoke to the woman, Marcy Rheintgen, in a recent interview about what happened and how she's dealing with the situation.
Have a wonderful weekend y'all,
Alex Cooper
