One of Stonewall's most famous activists was Marsha P. Johnson, a Black trans activist.
It was a powerful uprising of Black, white, Latin American, trans, lesbian, gay, bisexual folks, and drag queens.
Trumpism’s trans erasure is bad history, and the beginning—history shows—of what Nazis do next.

National Park Service tries to erase trans people from the Stonewall riots
The change on the government’s Stonewall Inn website is part of Trump’s anti-trans crusade.

Target, for many years, built positive relationships by supporting diverse communities. They boosted business through them, and crafted a beautiful corporate identity.
Then Trump won again, and just like that, execs turned on the communities in relationship with them.
Business and stock are down.

Target scrapped DEI to please Trump. It's not helping business.
Target is learning that its efforts to please Donald Trump and the GOP have done nothing to improve its bottom line

What a golden age of America—a future where an elite class maliciously lets people they hate die of disease!
A few centuries fly by, and "Let them eat cake" is now "Let them die of AIDS."
We're led by such stable geniuses—so unlike rulers before them, who failed to keep their heads about things!

South African scientists were testing a promising HIV vaccine. Then came Trump’s aid cuts
South African lab technician Nozipho Mlotshwa was waiting for the test results for a potential HIV vaccine, which has eluded scientists for decades, when the order came from USAID to stop work.

cool how Project 2025 went viral during the election, we were told Trump disavowed it and wouldn't do it, he got elected and started implementing it immediately and now we're being told "well this is what people voted for"
they very explicitly did not

The people now in charge of the Office of Personnel Management apparently don’t know how to scrub PDF metadata, and have exposed the original authors of the guidance they’re publishing. Two, Noah Peters and James Sherk, have links to the Heritage Foundation and Project 2025.

If you're being forced out of the military on account of your gender as a result of Trump's return to power, we invite you to enlist in the real struggle for freedom. This is more honorable than fighting on behalf of those who hate you—and it's a fight that we cannot avoid.

20 states can not access the payment portal for Medicaid.
The freeze means stalled infrastructure projects that increase commute times, fewer mental health resources for our kids & veterans in crisis, missed paychecks for union workers & seniors going hungry.
