PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — As if the coronavirus pandemic hasn’t challenged restaurants enough, an iconic Center City bar says a thief made off with its outdoor heaters. They hope the surveillance video leads to the return of the vital equipment. On a bitterly cold night, McGillin’s Olde Ale House is setting up for outdoor dining, but owners are doing so with fewer heat lamps thanks to a thief who swept in overnight and stole lamps and propane tanks.

Madrid: Transphobia is an elusive serial killer
Transphobia is a serial killer. An elusive and insidious murderer. An attacker that’s terrorized trans people for decades. If not centuries since colonization.

Zapata was a loving aunt, sister and daughter. A woman who deserved to grow into a mother, lover, or wife if she chose. She deserved to chase her wildest dreams. But a transphobic man robbed her of that. Black and brown trans women often face the deadliest effects of transphobia. In the past two weeks, three Black transgender women have been killed in the U.S.: Brayla Stone in Arkansas, Shakie Peters in Louisiana, and Bree Black in Florida. Their ages range from 17 to 32.Months prior we felt the loss in LGBTQ communities across the nation. Riah Milton in Ohio. Merci Mack in Dallas. Selena Reyes Hernandez in Chicago.

The best and worst Super Bowl 2021 commercials
