Hi there,
🤡 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.
🕯️ We are remembering two trans women killed recently by violence. Ervianna 'Baydee' Johnson of North Carolina and Kaitoria Bankz in Alabama. Rest in power.
🚨 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
Editor-in-chief, The Advocate

This week's question: Trans icons Sylvia Rivera and Marsha P. Johnson led which activist group?
This week's answer: The two Stonewall activists founded Street Transvestites Action Revolutionaries (STAR) in 1970.
