If you're in Ohio, do not vote for Marcy Kaptur. She needs to lose. It's just anti trans ad after anti trans ad.

A protester was struck over the head with a walking stick at Reform UK’s conference. Lee Anderson joked about a “quick whip-round” for the man whose stick was damaged. The bigger issue is what political leaders legitimise when they laugh at violence against protesters.
