Duly elected trans congresswoman (Sarah McBride) was misgendered yesterday & people are defending it using Trump’s EO. But we respect name changes for cis people all the time—Sen. Ted Cruz isn’t ‘Rafael,’ & no one argues. Basic respect isn’t up for debate, and LGBT rights shouldn’t be either. #LGBT

This administration is shameful and messy. We will all suffer as a result.
The Education Department has warned U.S. schools that they risked losing federal funding if they continued to take race into account when making scholarship or hiring decisions — or so much as nodded to race in “all other aspects of student, academic and campus life.”

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges.
This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.
