This case shows how Maryland's image as a refuge for trans people does not extend to marginalized trans women.
This April, Trans News Network reported on a lawsuit by trans women in Maryland prisons who had been tortured, intentionally placed in danger of rape, and denied hormones.

Juneau plans to clear its largest homeless encampment before first snow

The dividing line between “working class” and “elite” seems to be education. Contractor with a high school diploma, two houses, fleet of F-150s and a boat? Working class. Barista with a BA who rides the bus? Elite.
Hell, if it was just that it would still be bad, but at least there’d be a certain consistency to it, but a lot of these people think a general contractor making six figures and driving an extremely expensive truck is working class

Brandon LeBlanc says his actions in a controversial July 30 arrest were proper, and he opted to resign rather than be fired from JPD to make searching for a new job easier and it allowed him to keep his $30,000 signing bonus.
