Stonewall National Monument (U.S. National Park Service) Before the 1960s, almost everything about living openly as a lesbian, gay, bisexual (LGB) person was illegal. The Stonewall Uprising on June 28, 1969 is a milestone in the quest for LGB civil rights a...

NPS [Feb 12] -- Natl Park Service scrubs "TQ+" from Stonewall National LGBTQ+ Monument in Christopher Park & the accompanying text. Monument to a riot launched by trans women of color like Sylvia Rivera & Marsha P Johnson reads "LGB."

Opinion | We Thought We Were Compassionate, but We Were Too Permissive A friend’s journey through drugs and homelessness was aggravated by West Coast decriminalization. There’s a better path forward.

😑😑😑 This issue isn't permissiveness, whatever the hell that it supposed to mean. The issue is that the only place for this person to receive addiction treatment was in PRISON. The issue is *accessibility to treatment*, which in our system is out of reach of those who need it the most.

Why do other countries pay a fraction of the cost for prescription drugs? I’ve got one answer, it rhymes with snational snhealthcare, and has nothing to do with tariffs.

Scientists at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention were ordered to withdraw any pending publications, at any scientific journal, that mention terms such as β€œtransgender,” β€œimmigrant,” β€œL.G.B.T.” or β€œpregnant people.”

I am so, so, soulfully tired. And it’s been one week.

How long before they come after trans adults, too?

I am begging the national media to start taking this seriously.

Stop buying the claims that the framing of "temporary" or "pause."

They are altering the review processes of federally funded scientific research from merit-based peer review processes to political screening by ideologues.

EXCLUSIVE: Trump’s Day One Executive Order on β€˜Male and Female’ The White House strikes out at gender ideology and pronouns. Also: ends housing of biological men in women’s prisons; self-ID on passports; and more.

Naw, that takes effort. Complaining about the tiktok ban only took posting something. Keyboard activism at its finest.

Hahahaha you think they care about rules and order? This only extends protection if they respect the rule of law, which we know they don’t.

We can’t be this stupid.

Calling this a victory relies on the assumption that the incoming administration will respect the rule of law which makes these immigrants β€˜safe’.

Laws only work if the collective agrees to abide by them. We *know* this won’t be the case.
