Today my team and I at @translashmedia launched Season 4 of our investigative series #AntiTransHateMachine. For over a year looked at how Christian Nationalist and authoritarian forces are working together to destroy public education from the inside out using anti-trans hate.

Republicans have spent $184 million on anti-trans advertising this midterm cycle, per AP/AdImpact, which is more than they did in 2024. They've aired over 217,000 TV spots which, at 30 seconds each, equals 75 straight days worth of agitprop back-to-back

Dolores Huerta taught generations that organizing is an act of hope. Throughout her life she fought for farm workers, women, working families, and she reminded us all: Sí, se puede. I was lucky to know her and will forever be inspired by her example. Holding her family in my heart.

Today, we lost a pillar of our community. Voto Latino’s founders honor Dolores Huerta, who “always showed up” and saw the spirit in young people before the world was ready to. Her work is not done. Let’s carry it forward. ¡Sí, se puede, Dolores!

The Supreme Court Won’t Let Trump Take Trans People in Federal Prisons Off Hormones, for Now

The justices left in place an order requiring federal prisons to keep providing hormone therapy while the administration appeals. That order expires in mid-December unless the judge renews it.

Latino USA host Maria Hinojosa shares the story of Estrella Diamantina González, an undocumented transgender woman and trafficking survivor from Mexico caught up in the United States’ criminal and immigration systems. This past summer, after serving a nine-year sentence in a Texas men’s prison, Diamantina González was released, but she wasn’t free. She was immediately transferred to an immigration detention facility and then deported. Hinojosa, who has been reporting on Diamantina González’s ordeal for the last decade, followed her to Mexico in the new audio documentary “Estrella: Bittersweet Freedom for a 'Bad Mexican.'” democracynow.org/2026/10/16/…
