Death of Pahokee transgender woman sheds light on race and identity

The murder of an African-American transgender woman from Pahokee has created a lot of concerns in South Florida’s transgender community. Advocates say while investigators still work on a motive there’s a spotlight on what's becoming a larger nationwide issue.

“Hopefully a resolution to the situation by showing people that it’s an issue,” said Compass Community Center Transgender Youth Program Coordinator Lucas O’Ryan.

Sweden's highest peak shrinks, loses tallest status, thanks to a warmer climate

Morgan Hines, USA TODAYPublished 11:54 a.m. ET Sept. 11, 2019 | Updated 12:01 p.m. ET Sept. 11, 2019

If you think it's hot now, just wait. Heat waves are becoming more frequent globally. But how do we measure heat waves? We explain. Just the FAQs, USA TODAY

The south summit of Kebnekaise mountain, the highest peak in Sweden, is iconic.

Several thousand climb or hike to the top every year, Ninis Rosqvist, director of Tarfala Research Station, which measures the summit annually, told USA TODAY.

But the reason for its notoriety has begun to shrink, literally.

Researchers at Stockholm University's Tarfala Research Station have found that the highest peak in the country, is the lowest it's been in recorded history. And the new height dethrones the peak from its status of tallest summit in Sweden. Scientists began recording the mountain's height in 1880, Rosqvist said.

Let's get into it Wine Cellar Style.

Cummings has been claiming that seat for years. They currently sit on Community Board 9 of Upper Manhattan and the mayor’s Nightlife Council, making them one of a handful of drag queens to have served in a political capacity in the United States. Jose Sarria became the first drag queen to run for public office in 1961 following a bid for the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, and more recently, Maebe A. Girl — who currently sits on the Silver Lake Neighborhood Council — declared a run for U.S. Congress.

But while they have long been representing their community, Cummings tells Outthat it was Donald Trump’s election two years ago that truly stressed the importance of making your voice heard.
