Today is an absolute rebuke of anti-transgender politics, and a real sign that the anti-trans panic is fading.
From VA Gov to Loudoun County to New Jersey to New York City and Pennsylvania, anti-trans Republicans are falling left and right.

Democrats are currently ahead in 63 (!!!) races in the Virginia House of Delegates.
If this holds, it would be one of the largest state legislature swings in the last 4 years.
Its an absolute bloodbath for anti-trans Republicans.

As you know I paint freehands on cloaks of my miniatures from time to time, and I started doing that many years ago. This is for example a freehand that I painted on the cloak of Torquemada Coteaz back in 2015 so quite a while ago 🙂 #warhammer #warhammercommunity #warhammer40000 #acrylicpainting

1. A day after the Michigan church shooting, Republicans are silent after learning the shooter was a MAGA extremist.
No investigations of Trump supporters as terrorists. No national conversations about the rights of cisgender men.
The silence is deafening.

1. Trump threatened every hospital that provides gender affirming care to transgender youth.
Many complied and shut down their programs.
Boston Children's Hospital didn't. They fought back and kept providing care.
And now, they just beat Trump in court.

Closed up and painted Kitty Hawks UH-1Y Venom, also started a hangar deck base. I only had one small issue closing it all up getting the nose sub-section to sit evenly with the fuselage and clear part.
