In Oregon, Republicans in the state legislature like to stop laws that they don't like by walking out, sometimes for as long as 6 weeks. Republicans say their walkouts are protected free speech. No courts have agreed, however. Just days ago, a panel of the US Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a voter-passed constitutional amendment that bars any legislator who misses more than 10 days of a session from seeking reelection.

That sound you hear is a million and counting trans people begging you to pay attention and help them out.

Our own Nadya Markowska is just one of them.
