UK Games Expo has banned generative AI art, text, and merchandise across all NEC exhibition halls, bringing the convention in line with broader British tabletop standards. Standholders face removal or bans if their products aren't made by humans. #UKGE

The Congressional Equality Caucus has released the following statement in response to our story indicating they will not back candidates who "scapegoat transgender people." Kaptur does not appear as of this morning on their endorsed list. Several who took the same vote as her still do, sadly.

“Equality PAC is proud to support LGBTQ candidates and allies to build Pro-Equality Majorities capable of passing critical legislation like the Equality Act. We will always work with Members of Congress and candidates to educate them on issues affecting the LGBTQ community and deepen their understanding of the challenges our community faces.

The Members and allies we support come from communities across the country, and we recognize that serving in Congress, particularly in a Republican-controlled Congress, can require Members to take difficult votes.

We recognize that no Member will agree with us on every vote, and that is part of the legislative process. We must not lose the art of persuasion, and it is imperative that we continue to welcome “imperfect allies” to facilitate meaningful and lasting change for the LGBTQ community.

But there is a clear line: we will not accept candidates or Members using Republican rhetoric that actively harms members of our community—particularly transgender Americans, who have been the target of sustained attacks from the Trump Administration. Campaigns can be won without scapegoating transgender people. Equality PAC will not support any candidate who chooses to campaign by targeting or demonizing members of the transgender community.

Americans deserve candidates who are focused on the issues that matter most to working families: lowering costs, protecting access to health care, and holding the Trump Administration accountable for its corrupt actions.

Our goal is to build a Congress that fights for the rights of every member of the LGBTQ community and delivers results on the issues that matter most to families across America.

Regarding our support for Frontline Members of Congress: the graphic featured in our newsletter was created by the DCCC and was intended to highlight the full slate of Frontline Democrats heading into the midterms. Its inclusion does not indicate that Equality PAC is supporting every candidate featured in…

Equality PAC, the campaigning arm of the Congressional Equality Caucus, announced its endorsement of Marcy Kaptur and other anti-trans Dems days after political ads targeting trans people. Even the LGBTQ+ congressional caucus is throwing trans people aside. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Both parties are going full steam ahead on data center construction even as it polls worse than almost anything has in decades, while insisting the opponents are a "vocal minority of luddites" These people are totally epistemically disconnected from reality, and they run the country

Trump is polling in the 20s, every election poll shows the GOP losing by unprecedented margins, and pundits are still scratching their heads and wondering why Democrats haven't gotten on board with the supposed 2024 right-wing "vibe shift" yet

It is so hard to have to wear a mask in 2026. People who might have done out of solidarity two years ago would rather lose toes now. Even people who might understand roll their eyes when we insist, because yeah, your “just allergies” might fucking kill us. The least you can do is not mock us.

I kind of miss the days when “the news” was basically just a person in a suit telling you what happened during the day, instead of a panic machine designed to make you hate your neighbor so I dunno you don’t have the energy nor the bandwith to notice that your rent went up around 30%. Just sayin. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Bless Terry Francona for going to the pen, so we could get this on Brewers radio after Garrett Mitchell hit Milwaukee's first grand slam of 2026... LANE GRINDLE: Grand slam on the field. If there's a grand slam in your pants, you might need North Shore Adult Diapers. Different kind of grand slam.

re: transphobic democrats, I've seen a number of cis people say "but what about other groups targeted by the Trump!" Look: 1) I've got your back if you've got mine. 2) Trans people are the admin's biggest targets. 3) Therefore, if you had my back, you'd be prioritizing me.

Broadly much of the vitriol directed towards cis "allies" from the trans community is in response to their utter failure to treat the threat to trans people with the gravity it requires and deserves The admin wants to exterminate us. Why on Earth are you saying there's anything more important?
