First reported by @decaturish.bsky.social, GA State Sen. Elena Parent will not seek reelection.
In 2025, Parent, who represents one of the most progressive districts in the South, east of Atlanta, dared a trans parent to find someone to challenge her for reelection in a recorded anti-trans screed:

Steve-O was on Joe Rogan's show trying to defend trans people and Rogan went off, he called trans people "fucking perverts" and "mass shooters" who have done the majority of school shootings.

No matter how gross the art is, itβs not CSAM. I know itβs vile. I know your want everyone to know how gross the person who made it is.
But when you intentionally mix up these terms you harm actual children by diverting attention and resources away from material that exploits them.

Indianaβs Anti-Trans Attorney General is Preparing to Revoke Trans Peopleβs Documents
Indiana AG Todd Rokita has been compiling a list of his stateβs trans people. Following in Kansasβ footsteps, heβs quietly laying the groundwork to declare their IDs βfalsified records.β
Will Indiana be the next state to invalidate drivers licenses and IDs for trans residents?
@transitics.substack.com spoke with government employees from various states about the capabilities of their bureaucracy. She identified Indiana as the most likely state to follow Kansas. Worth a read.

Once again begging people to stop using the term CSAM to refer to content that does not include images of real children or their likenesses.
The whole reason we have that term is to identify content that features actual children so the appropriate steps can be taken.

I'm thinking of bans on previously available care, not barriers to introducing new treatments. Caims of poor evidence hold up new treatments, but once a treatment is on the market I'm not aware of any being restricted bc of claims the evidence wasn't high quality, only for evidence of harm.

I mean, I agree it should be disqualifying - but I don't live in Maine and it doesn't seem to be disqualifying for Maine voters, and they're the ones who get a say. I disapprove of their not taking it more seriously, but that's all I can do.

"Probably not that great a guy/gal" includes basically anyone who wants to be a US Senator. If I lived in Maine I wouldn't vote for Platner in a primary but I wouldn't hesitate to do so in a general election vs Collins.

I think Graham Platner lied about his tattoo, has terrible judgement, and Maine deserves better. I doubt that he's a Nazi. I think it's reasonable to hope he'll be a better senator than Susan Collins.
