A hidden factory in Great Yarmouth enables F-35 jets to bomb Gaza

Great Yarmouth, a place where families gather all year round, come together and visit the seaside, eat ice cream and play on the arcade machines. But deep down the seafront, hidden in the industrial estate, lies a factory that is responsible for making the parts that, without them, the F-35 jets wouldn’t be able to operate. The company is called Spectrum Control LTD. You won’t find much advertising for it; in fact, if you go to the factory itself, there are no big signs on the doors or obvious branding. But if you dig deep enough into a combination of the company house, export license data put together by the campaign against arms trade, Spectrum has been making and supplying parts for the F-35 jets that have been used in Israel’s genocide of Gaza. So who owns the place in Great Yarmouth? From my findings, Spectrum Control LTD is listed online via Companies House under number 02721281 and, on paper, is typically a British company. But it is actually owned by AEA Investors LP, a private equity firm based in New York. This firm is worth BILLIONS in assets in aerospace, defence and industrial manufacturing. To be precise, this firm goes all the way back to pure American elite power. It was founded in 1968 by the Rockefellers, the Mellon family and the Harriman family. AEA manages £15 billion in invested capital. AEA took over spectrum control in 2019 from its parent company, API Technologies, which, to them, just sits there alongside handfuls of other businesses in their portfolio. The directors There are two directors listed on the company house website. First, we have Neil Snowdon, a British citizen who was given the role in November 2022. He works as Spectrum Controls’ vice president and managing director in the UK and EMEIA region. So in short, he sees the day-to-day at the Great Yarmouth factory. Snowdon’s LinkedIn shows how he is posting about RAF Typhoon upgrades and UK defence supply chains, but he actually has a boss himself; he reports to the US CEO, who is on the company’s executive leadership team. His name? Richard Dennis Sorelle, sometimes known as Rich, is an American national listed as the other director of Spectrum Control and has been since 2021. Rich has over 35 years of experience in defence electronics. Before Spectrum Control, he was the CEO and chairman of Abaco Systems, which is, in short, another military electronics supplier. When he took over spectrum control, he said he was looking forward to bringing his experiences in radar and sonar to the company (gross). He did an interview with Microwave Journal, and he described Spectrum Control and its mission as “protecting human life ” See the irony there, considering he’s making parts that help jets kill innocent children in Gaza. Neither of these men work in Great Yarmouth, and no one from the local community was consulted or informed about this, and inquiries received no response. Neither Snowdon or Sorelle have commented on the factory’s participation in its F-35 programme. The invisible loophole UK companies that ship and supply anything to do with F-35 jets don’t go through normal arms export licensing. What they go through alternatively is something called an open general export licence. What this means is registered companies have authorisation to export unlimited amounts of F-35 related parts to places like Israel without needing to apply for individual licenses. Don’t believe me? The government’s own OGEL documents confirm this, and the campaign against arms trade has mapped every single UK company registered for this license. The scary part is we have no idea how much has left the factory in Great Yarmouth, where it went and what aircrafts in has ended up in. Funny how the UK government, when announcing a partial suspension on arms export licenses to Israel in 2024, seems to exempt F-35 components, giving factories loopholes to be able to still supply F-35 jet parts to countries using them for genocide. The secret business So when we think of spectrum control, we think obviously of the factory that’s making the F-35 components, but what if I told you they also run another business called SSIA. SSIA (secure systems and information assurance), based in Gloucester, not Great Yarmouth, has been designing and making equipment for one of the most secret areas of military tech for well over 30 years, and its name is Tempest. To put it short, Tempest is short for a NATO/government programme that handles the fact that every device leaks electromagnetic signals, and those signals can be intercepted by rivals, and they can manipulate what’s on the screens, what’s being typed, and what’s being broadcast. Tempest Tech has been built to counter that. This is also the first and only company in UK history to be NCSC accredited under GCHQ. And to work here, you have to have complete tight security clearance. So, Spectrum Controls SSIA section supplies the military, government, and NATO with TEMPEST certified equipment, which includes secure computers, encrypted coms hardware and all of this is owned by the Rockefellers. Our question is, why is the UK government allowing a Rockefeller-owned company in New York to handle our sensitive data? The town that never got a say We all know Great Yarmouth is not the wealthiest place; in fact, it’s one of the most deprived places in the UK. It sits among the bottom 20% of the most economically deprived areas nationally, and it seems to be the target of these awful industries profiting off the murder of children. And yes, the company does employ people locally, and I’ve witnessed with my own eyes how some of the staff react to the locals trying to raise awareness, and I’m not sure if it’s silence out of fear of not wanting to lose your job because you feel like you have no other choice or just simply not caring. I want to highlight the people who are locals and are trying to raise awareness about this issue. There’s a group of amazing activists who have been campaigning to get this factory shut down for a while, and they need your help. When I first started journalism, I went and joined them at one of the protests outside the factory in August of 2025, and I could really feel the urgency for them to get the message across, but because Yarmouth is very far and secluded, people won’t know about it unless it’s amplified, and that’s what I’m doing right now. The locals should be informed about what companies want to set up factories in their areas and be given a say on whether they want something like an arms factory to be operating in a town that also serves as a holiday destination for families. These companies make millions, and the community in itself is struggling. How about the government invest money in building community centres for these people instead of building factories that aid Israel’s murder mission? Put the pressure on in Great Yarmouth I grew up in Norfolk – in fact its funny, I was born there and lived in Great Yarmouth for a year as an adult. To me, I always associated it with the place people came to for the summer. The seafront is full of shops, arcade stalls, and things for families to do. It has one of the most popular high streets, but the work typically runs off seasonal trade, meaning after the summer, most shops shut, and people are left without work. It makes you wonder if this factory is put there on purpose, as people feel like they have no choice but to take the work that’s available to them. But we still have questions and have sent off an FOI request to the Great Yarmouth Borough Council and ask them to disclose all communications between them and Spectrum Control, and we are still awaiting a response. Because between the Rockerfellers’ New York firm and Norfolk’s trading estate, accountability has gone missing, and I’m on the hunt for it. And why did the mayor of Yarmouth stand with Snowdon and celebrate the 80th anniversary in 2023 of the site? Did the mayor know what the factory was making, and if she did, why would she endorse such a thing? For now, all we can do is show up, put pressure on the spectrum control and listen to what the locals want. By Sip the System From Canary via This RSS Feed.

Gwyneth Paltrow Appears in Ad for Israeli Luxury Real Estate Developer

Hollywood actor Gwyneth Paltrow has become the face of a luxury real estate development in Israel, defying a global boycott movement against the country in response to its genocide in Gaza. Paltrow drew fierce criticism on Wednesday after appearing in an ad for 51 Park, a 51-storey development in the coastal city of Herzliya, just north of Tel Aviv, where units reportedly sell for up to $10m (£7.4m). The ad campaign was commissioned by luxury developer Aviv by Melisron and created by the Israeli agency Why Worry. “Imagine advertising luxury villas in Nazi Germany during the Holocaust,” user Ounka wrote on X. “That’s the level of tone-deaf we’re witnessing.” In the one-minute ad, filmed in New York, Paltrow wakes up in a swanky apartment and complains in a voice-over: “Who decided mornings should be so early? Even my coffee needs a coffee.” She then goes jogging in Central Park and says, “Waking up for a morning run can be brutal, but it’s a price I’m willing to pay. Because once I hit the park, pure energy takes over.” Later, she says to camera: “There’s a reason why the world’s most iconic buildings are by a park,” as she walks to a car and asks to be taken to 51 Park. When the driver asks if she means in New York, she replies: “No. Herzliya, Israel.” From Novara Media via This RSS Feed.

Remembering Mexican Left Leader Antonio Gershenson: the Simplicity of Greatness

By Luis Hernández Navarro – Jun 7, 2026 Antonio Gershenson Tafelov was 25 years old when, in November 1967, he was arrested by the police. He was sentenced to 25 years in prison for a series of crimes, including conspiracy and criminal association. He was imprisoned in the N wing of the Lecumberri prison for six years, until he was released in 1973. He was part of a clandestine political-military project in which three forces associated with the struggle of education sector workers, the peasantry of Morelos, and the labor-union workers converged. In the first, Othón Salazar and members of the Revolutionary Teacher’s Movement (MRM) participated until their incorporation into the Mexican Communist Party (PCM); in the second was part of the high command of Jaramillismo, including Major Félix Serdán; and in the third, members of the Mexican Communist Workers’ Front (FOCM), formed in 1961 by Juan Ortega Arenas. Antonio Gershenson remembered with photos from his life, at his wake. Photo: Víctor Camacho. In 1965, 21 unions associated with the Front created the Independent Trade Union Movement, of which Gershenson was one of the leaders, and in 1966, the first Mexican Workers’ Party. Gershenson also had editorial responsibilities in La Verdad Obrera, the spokesorgan of this movement, which was published for almost two decades. In his autobiography Nadie puede ser amigo de todos (“No One Can Be Friends with Everyone”), Gilberto López and Rivas, Gershenson’s comrade in those struggles, recounts: In 1967, the ‘Physicist’ was arrested for his alleged indirect participation in an attack on the Bolivian embassy following the assassination of Che Guevara, with one of the explosives, which I ultimately left for safekeeping in a safe house in Morelos. He did not ‘sing’ or out his comrades-in-arms, and even years later, we greeted each other with great propriety and never mentioned the thousands of meetings where we had discussed ways to establish an armed revolution in Mexico. Finally, in 2003, when he was the district chief of Tlalpan, I decided to bring up the topic, thanking him for his courage in not exposing us despite the torture and imprisonment. In the file prepared by the Directorate of Investigations for Crime Prevention (DIPD) in 1976, with all the inaccuracies that police records usually have, it was said of him: “Responsible for dynamite attacks in the Federal District during the year 1967, in which he placed and detonated several explosive devices, including one at the statue of Miguel Alemán Valdés in Ciudad Universitaria and a device placed at the Colombian embassy, which exploded in the DIGEPOT Laboratory. He currently works as a nuclear physicist and his activities are checked sporadically.” From a wall of a cell in the N wing, with Che’s gaze upon them, the political prisoners who were incarcerated there in those years turned the Black Palace into a university and a balm to face adversity. According to what Gershenson wrote in La Jornada, drawing on the notes of his life partner, Ruxi Mendieta: There, disciplined, showcasing abstraction, many comrades and companions were with us. First of all, Víctor Rico Galán, who, with incredible patience and will, took on the role of rector of that N wing turned into “the fruitful prison,” keeping in mind, of course, what Commander Fidel Castro described in his book of the same name. There we were, studying and writing; asking, answering, and assimilating what was happening to us. Our discreet clandestine little school, within what we called Free Territory of Lecumberri, yielded results. One of them was that, in truth, we were free there. Or, at least, many of us expressed it that way. The N wing was also a territory where figures very close to Rafael Galván, the leader of the democratic electricians, would arrive, and where his magazine Solidaridad could be read. The reflection on the Mexican Revolution, revolutionary nationalism, and socialism was the “bread and butter of our daily life.” The combination of Galvanism and electrical unionism with the political authority of journalist Víctor Rico Galán would be key to providing Antonio, now free, with a long-term political horizon. His participation in the project organized around the mass workers’ newspaper La Unidad, his support for the struggle of the Democratic Tendency of SUTERM and the National Front for Popular Action (FNAP), and his undeniable leadership in the Single Union of Nuclear Industry Workers (alongside Arturo Whaley) made him a fundamental reference in the workers’ insurgency of the 70s and 80s of the last century. US Conspiracy Against Mexico and President Sheinbaum Underway From there, alongside figures like Rolando Cordera, Arnaldo Córdova, and Carlos Pereyra, Gershenson was key in the construction of the political platform Popular Action Movement (MAP), which soon joined the initiatives for the unity of the leftist parties, giving rise to the Unified Socialist Party of Mexico (PSUM). Representing that party, he was elected as a federal deputy in 1982 and was a member of the commissions for Energy, Oversight of the Office of the Comptroller General of the Treasury, and Labor. He also served as an advisor to the Energy Commission of the Chamber of Deputies from 1994 to 1997. Thereafter, with Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas’ victory in the Federal District (Mexico City), he served as the director of Public Lighting of the Federal District from 1998 to 2004; by then Andrés Manuel López Obrador was the chief of the Federal District. Over the years, Gershenson continued to participate in politics within the ranks of Democratic Revolutionary Party (PRD) and Movement for National Regeneration (MORENA). Gershenson, founder of La Jornada, wrote a weekly column (in recent years accompanied by Ruxi Mendieta), with orderly and clear prose, following the maxims of José Antonio Mella’s course for worker correspondents of El Machete: truth above all; brevity and conciseness; accessible texts that reflect the struggles, injustices, and daily life of the proletariat. And another maxim: one idea, two pages, three examples. Antonio Gershenson was, throughout his life, a dignified and committed leftist activist. Neither repression, nor prison, nor his political responsibilities, nor public recognition, altered his vocation to serve the workers. The simplicity in his demeanor contrasted with the greatness of the emancipatory missions he took upon himself and his human quality. May he rest in peace.

Teens arrested over wild machete brawl at Flinders Street Station

Nobody actually uses them Sure if you don’t know anyone. I have a machete, so does my dad, a few mates of mine use them on their properties as well. But when machetes are no longer available do you think these idiots won’t just pick up an axe? We going to ban axes then? A lot of people who chop firewood would be very pissed off about that one. Oh and btw before the VIC ban Bunnings stocked machetes nationwide. You can still buy them at BCF and camping/hiking stores.

Starlink charges $10 monthly hardware fee in move away from one-time purchases - Ars Technica

I got a mini dish for emergencies as I live in an area where natural disasters can occur. My plan was to just keep it around just in case in a paused state and on occasional trips, or in case of emergencies id have it. Then they stopped letting you pause it and charged $7.50 CAD/m to keep it in standby, but it came with unlimited low speed, but enough to do emails or browse websites. Kinda shitty but okay, having data always working wasnt terrible for the $7.50, and could even toss it in car for road trips where there’s bad internet for music streaming. Then a couple weeks ago, they emailed saying its going to $15/m and it would no longer work while in motion. Fuck that. I canceled. Its definitely to juice the IPO revenue numbers. Edit: oh, and the free pausing, to paid standby to the price increase on standby was all in under a year.

HELP : Cannot upload files bigger than ~180MB to matrix server

I am trying to increase the upload limit on my matrix server. I would like to push it to 500MB, but it keeps failing the upload past ~180MB. There is very little information about the failure, the client just says “Unkown error”, nginx says “error 499”, which means the client disconnected to quickly. Additionally, trying to recreate the failure with curl just results in a success, so the issue seems to be with the client. I tried with element-web, element desktop, element x and cinny and they all have this issue. I run a continuwuity server on a Raspberry Pi 4B, behind two nginx reverse proxies and a rathole tunnel. Continuwuity, and the two reverse proxies run inside docker compose projects. Here is my architecture : __ .( ). (`Cloud ) `-----` | V +- Outside server -+ | +---------+ | | | rathole | | | +---------+ | +--------|---------+ | +- Home network ---|-------------------------+ | +- RasPi --------|-----------------------+ | | | V | | | | +- tunnel docker -+ | | | | | +---------+ | | | | | | | nginx 1 | | | | | | | +---------+ | | | | | +-----|-|---------+ | | | | | | | | | | | +- other services -->... | | | | | | | | | V | | | | +- matrix docker --+ | | | | | +---------+ | | | | | | | nginx 2 | | | | | | | +---------+ | | | | | | | | | | | | | +------V-------+ | | | | | | | Continuwuity | | | | | | | +--------------+ | | | | | +------------------+ | | | +----------------------------------------+ | +--------------------------------------------+ Of course, I made sure to increase the upload limit in Continuwuity : max_request_size = 500000000 And in both nginx instances : client_max_body_size 500M; From what I can gather from other issues on the internet, it seems it could be related to timeout errors. Although they all seem to be talking about 2-8Gb files, I am probably running much weaker hardware than they do, so it checks out. I tried setting the following values in both nginx instances : location / { proxy_connect_timeout 600; proxy_send_timeout 600; proxy_read_timeout 600; send_timeout 600; proxy_next_upstream off; proxy_buffering off; proxy_pass ...; } And setting timeout values in Continuwuity : client_receive_timeout = 75 client_request_timeout = 180 client_response_timeout = 120 client_shutdown_timeout = 10 Since that didn’t have any effect, I bumped them by 20x and 40x respectively : location / { proxy_connect_timeout 18000; proxy_send_timeout 18000; proxy_read_timeout 18000; send_timeout 18000; proxy_next_upstream off; proxy_buffering off; proxy_pass ...; } client_receive_timeout = 3000 client_request_timeout = 7200 client_response_timeout = 4800 client_shutdown_timeout = 400 But that did not have any effect. I also looked at modifying element-web’s settings, but there doesn’t seem to be anything related to timeouts. I also saw that encrypted vs. unencrypted rooms might have an effect, but I got ~190MB max in encrypted rooms and ~180MB in unencrypted rooms. Finally, I tried using curl : curl -X POST https://server.domain/_matrix/media/v3/upload -H "Authorization: Bearer " -H "Content-Type application/octet-stream" --data @200mb.file # success # returns a mxc:// url curl -X POST https://server.domain/_matrix/client/v1/media/download/server.name/file_id -H "Authorization: Bearer " -o 200mb_copy.file # See that the two files are identical I am at a loss. What can I do to solve this issue?

First war crimes complaint against UAE-backed Sudan paramilitary filed in Kenya

The UAE-backed Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have been accused of genocide, massacres and sexual violence. Sudan’s civil war has raged for three years with the backing of foreign and regional powers. Now survivors have filed the first war crimes complaint in Kenya. Twelve victims backed by a Swiss legal NGO urged Kenya’s chief of prosecution to pursue the case. Associated Press (AP) reported on 9 June: It is the first attempt to prosecute members of the Rapid Support Forces, or RSF, the paramilitary group fighting against the Sudanese military for over three years, outside Sudan. Adding that: The group, which has been accused by rights organizations of committing atrocities amounting to war crimes and crimes against humanity, has ties with Kenya’s government. AP said: Kenyan President William Ruto has previously hosted RSF leader Gen. Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo for talks that he said were aimed at advancing peace efforts in Sudan, a move that sparked diplomatic tensions. The twelve survivors are working with the Switzerland-based NGO Legal Action Worldwide. Their testimony details: torture and sexual violence committed by RSF members at various locations in and around Khartoum between April 2023 and March 2025 when the Sudanese capital was controlled by the paramilitaries. The charges against RSF included that their victims: were held in inhumane conditions, with little or no food, limited access to water, and inadequate sanitation facilities. They allege that they were beaten, burned, suffocated, subjected to electric shocks, and sexually abused, including through rape. Additionally: Some were reportedly forced to transport dead bodies from detention facilities. RSF is backed by the UAE but many other nations have made the war worse through active participation or through humanitarian inaction. Rapid Support Forces and Sudan’s ongoing foreign-backed civil war The RSF, backed by the UAE, is fighting the Sudanese government, with gold interests and regional influence at stake. Numerous foreign actors, including the UK, have caused the war to fester through active participation and/or outright passivity. Israel, too, is aplayer in the war. The war in Sudan is theoretically between the Arab-majorityRSF and the Sudanese government. But foreign states pursuing their own interests are backing the combatants. Turkey, Egypt and many more countries are pursuing their own interests in Sudan too. British military components have also shown up on the battlefield in RSF hands. The UK is a major arms supplier to UAE. The RSF has killed Sudanese civilians in vast numbers. Some estimates say 150,000 people have died and more than 10 million civilians have been displaced by fighting. Sources have also claimed the UK downgraded the situation in Sudan to avoid “pissing off the Emiratis”. Drone war over Sudan Drones have been a major feature of the war. Both RSF and Sudanese government forces have deployed them. On 9 June government forces engaged RSF drones over the capital Khartoum. The Sudan Tribune reported: Military sources said a Rapid Support Forces (RSF) drone attempted to bomb military sites northwest of Omdurman before ground defences intercepted it and prevented it from reaching its targets. The same sources said air defences also engaged strategic drones in East Nile, with no casualties reported. A recent UN report said drones were a serious threat to life and limb in the war: Drones caused more than 80 per cent of civilian deaths in Sudan’s war during the first four months of 2026, killing at least 880 people. UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk condemned both sides for their use of unmanned aerial weapons: Armed drones have now become by far and away the leading cause of civilian deaths. And the Ayin investigative network reported that clashes between local people and RSF allies in Sudan’s south have resulted in a village being burned: violence last month killed at least 61 civilians, including women and children, who were targeted during clashes between the [RSF-aligned] SPLM-N, led by Abdel Aziz al-Hilu and the Ottoro tribe in Kauda. Part of the conflict is due to: the Ottoro’s refusal to allow the SPLM-N-allied Rapid Support Forces (RSF) to mine in their area. The submission of a first official war crimes complaint is a good sign. Yet lawyers say allegations are hard to corroborate in a country gripped by war and devastation. A semblance of peace and justice for Sudan in this foreign-backed war may still be a long way off. Featured image via Jeff J Mitchell/Getty Images By Joe Glenton From Canary via This RSS Feed.

Demolishing homes after climate disasters can be devastating. Here's how we reused precious materials

In the aftermath of the floods, many NSW homes were significantly damaged and still lay in the path of future floods. In response, the NSW government introduced a buyback scheme for eligible homes in flood-prone areas. Part of this program involved demolishing homes, with the materials discarded in landfill or used for low-value recycling, such as woodchipping and burning. Yet the homes contained valuable materials, such as hardwood timbers. Losing these homes was traumatic for the local community and an unnecessary loss of valuable resources. So the NSW Reconstruction Authority, Living Lab Northern Rivers, and the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) explored how to recover a material that is extremely difficult to source today—old-growth timber. link to report https://llnr.cdn.prismic.io/llnr/aigBHQeQX7-eXCXA_LLNR_CircularTimberResearchReport_DIGITAL.pdf

Trans Congresswoman McBride Wishes Nancy Mace "Happy Pride" After Mace Finishes 5th In Primary

Congresswoman McBride // House.gov Erin In The Morning is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a subscriber. Yesterday, Congresswoman Nancy Mace, one of the most prominent anti-trans voices in Congress, ran for the Republican nomination for governor of South Carolina—and finished in fifth place. Mace staked her political career on anti-trans activism, pushing amendment after amendment targeting transgender people during her tenure and most infamously championing the ban on Congresswoman Sarah McBride, the first openly transgender member of Congress, from using women’s restrooms in the Capitol. Now, in what trans communities online were quick to note as a familiar number—anti-trans activist and swimmer Riley Gaines also famously tied for fifth place with Lia Thomas—Mace’s political career is effectively over. She gave up her congressional seat to run for governor and cannot return. As a result, at the Equality PAC’s National Pride Gala last night, McBride took the stage as the results rolled in, referred to Mace as “Congress’s top bathroom sheriff,” noted that she was in “a respectful fifth place,” and wishing Mace a “Happy Pride.” “Today is a big day because today is the South Carolina Republican gubernatorial primary,” started McBride, continuing, "And for those of you who aren’t aware, my colleague—and Congress’s top bathroom sheriff—Nancy Mace, is on the ballot. And while not all of the votes have been counted yet, she is in a respectful fifth place. I don’t like punching down, and I believe in the politics of grace. So all I will say is: Happy Pride, Nancy,” to which she received a standing ovation. See the video here, curtesy of Advocate reporter Christopher Wiggins: The loss is significant. Mace was not merely anti-trans—she made targeting transgender people the defining project of her congressional career. She championed the ban on McBride and all transgender people from using restrooms in the Capitol, then escalated with a sweeping federal bathroom ban bill that would have applied to every federal building in the country, including major airports like Dulles and Reagan—that bill did not pass. She called trans protesters a slur while wandering the halls of the Senate with a bullhorn, having confused which building the protesters were in. She and Lauren Boebert confronted a woman in a Capitol bathroom they suspected was transgender—she was cisgender. Her entire webpage is filled with anti-trans activism and bills targeting transgender people. Now, her political career is over—at least for now. Mace made a calculated gambit to trade her congressional seat for the governor’s mansion, declining to file for reelection in SC-01. But despite spending two years remolding herself into one of Trump’s most visible culture warriors, Trump endorsed Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette instead. Without his backing, Mace finished fifth with 12%, not winning a single county in the state—including Charleston, which is her home county. She cannot return to her House seat: the filing deadline has passed. When her term ends in January 2027, Nancy Mace will hold no office. The woman who gave up a safe House seat to chase a promotion on the strength of an anti-trans brand she invented in 2024 will leave Washington with nothing to show for it. It is notable that the winners of the Republican primary are not much better on transgender issues—and one may be worse. Alan Wilson, who finished second and will advance to a June 23 runoff against Trump-backed Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette, was a leading state official in the landmark Supreme Court case in support of Tennessee’s gender-affirming care ban in United States v. Skrmetti, calling the ruling “a win for sanity and for the safety of our kids.” He also told the city of Columbia to overturn its conversion therapy ban. Evette, for her part, celebrated the Skrmetti decision as well, writing “Amen! Protecting our kids and America’s future generations is a non-negotiable.” Neither candidate, however, made anti-trans activism the theatrical centerpiece of their campaign the way Mace did.
