If you're a Dem who thinks you'll gain something by going anti-trans, look at Gallup's "most important problem" and Fox News' "most important issue" polling and see where trans issues rank. Whoever told you going anti-trans is a savvy or necessary move spends too much time on X and should be fired.
Gallup polling. "LGBTQ rights" moves between 0 and 1%.Fox news polling. Wokeness/transgender issues at 0%.

The accounting is in: In Oregon there are 111 data centers. The TOTAL number of people employed at data centers is just 2,630, or 0.1% of the labor force. Those 100 data centers consumer 23% of all electricity used in Oregon. Meanwhile, electricity rates skyrocket as more centers are built.

Everyone deserves to play with their friends.
Text reads: Let Trans Kids PLAY.

Behind the text is the trans flag with horizontal bars of blue, pink, white, pink, and blue. Surrounding the text are a variety of sports equipment: soccor ball, football, basketball, baseball glove, eight ball, tennis racket, hockey puck, boxing glove, and other items that I'm less sure of.

I'm not very good at graphic design, sorry.
