election

Danica Roem, who is the lead vocalist of thrash metal band Cab Ride Home, is also the first openly transgender person to be elected (and re-elected) to a state legislature.

Danica Roem isn't the only musician in heavy music who won a state election yesterday. Bay Ridge native Justin Brannan of Indecision and Most Precious Blood was elected as a Democratic official for a four-year term in the New York City Council...

She unseats Republican Robert G. Marshall, who introduced the state's transphobic "bathroom bill" (similar to the one that passed in North Carolina) and who has referred to himself as Virginia's "chief homophobe."

Madonna spoke with artist Marilyn Minter as part of "A Year of Yes: Reimagining Feminism at the Brooklyn Museum".

"I wrote this song a month or so before the Republican National Convention after thinking that we were running out of options to stop the Trump Train. My humor tends to skew dark, so I imagined a kamikaze style situation, where the pilot sacrifices himself for the sake of the country." - Tim Heidecker.
