welcoming safe space it was our sort of testament to what is taken away when violence like this happens. >> yeah, i mean, i think this occurred just after midnight on trans day of remembrance. here we have a day dedicated to honoring the lives of trans people who are killed in acts of violence, two of the five victims are openly trans individuals. one of the bartenders was a trans man who is being described by friends as this person who was irreverent in his joy. he has a picture on his instagram of himself after he had top surgery, celebrating the embodiment that he felt, the very thing that we are seeing being demonized, not just in the right-wing media, by the way, but also in the center left media, and that is contributing to this climate in which people are emboldened to enact violence on the trans community, and on the anti lgbtq community. >> that bartender, i was reading his twitter feed, and he was talking about how that play saved his life, club q. i found this place, i love

bartender at club q helps people feel like it's okay to be who they are. >> for sure. >> i would just add to that, the one thing we haven't talked about, social medias play in all of this. that is an organizing tool. that is where they are finding out about the drug shows, and organizing to show up. that's where they are building out extremism, and grooming people, actually, for extremism. i think we have to hold the social media platforms accountable, and we need government to also hold them accountable. >> chase, sarah kate ellis, thank you so much for coming, and i really appreciate it. >> thank you. >> coming up, he is taking over the major investigation of donald trump. who is jack smith? an in-depth look at the new special counsel, next. counsel, next. i choose neuriva plus. unlike some others, neuriva plus is a multitasker supporting 6 key indicators of brain health. to help keep me sharp.

largest city in colorado. club q is the main lgbt plus venue, it's a respite for people across not just el paso county but southern colorado, northern new mexico, a place that builds community in areas of the state and the country which are sometimes more difficult to be who you are and be honest and open. and even beyond the lives that were shattered, irrevocably lost, this is a blow to so many people who saw this as a place of safety and a place of refuge. >> you see this attack in the threats against gays this past summer during pride, f fundamentalists are calling for gays to be executed. does something feel different this time around, more dangerous for a community that's been the victim of bigotry and violence for so long? >> you know, it's easy and tempting just to tune the crazy talk out. and we all see it, whether it's your twitter feed or facebook page or comments in the media,
