👀 Rose O'Donnell fires back at Trump

Hi there,

📚 LaVonnia Moore devoted 15 years to cultivating a library in rural Georgia where every patron felt seen. Yet in a matter of hours in June, the librarian’s career was upended by political outrage and quiet maneuvers among county officials after she included a book with a transgender character in a public display, government records show. Those records, obtained by The Advocate, show how transphobia fueled the decision.

👀 Donald Trump wants to revoke Rosie O’Donnell’s citizenship — but under the Constitution, he can’t do that. O'Donnell didn't hold back in her response to the president.

⚡ As Superman dominates the box office, the new Clark Kent, David Corenswet, carries the legacy of not just a fictional hero but a real-life tale of resilience involving two men who understood the meaning of fight: Christopher Reeve, the actor-turned-activist paralyzed in 1995, who will forever be known as Superman, and Michael Manganiello, a trailblazing gay HIV survivor who helped Reeve channel his celebrity into groundbreaking advocacy. The Advocate's John Casey spoke with Manganiello about the late actor and his work.

Onward and upward,

Alex Cooper
