Sometimes in this fast-moving and complex modern world, it’s hard to know what’s right and what’s wrong. But here’s a handy rule of thumb: If you are ever on one side of an issue, and Sesame Street is on the other, YOU’RE the bad guy.

🧵The decision to change “LGBTQ” to “LGB” on the Stonewall National Monument page is yet another example of the Trump administration’s blatant attempts to discriminate against and erase the legacies of transgender and queer Americans.
The National Park Service has removed "T" and all mention of transgender people from the Stonewall National Monument.

Trans women were some of the most influential activists behind the Stonewall movement and what followed.

3 articles of clothing laws were why raids happened.

Erasure.

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service.

“Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.
White House pauses all federal grants, sparking confusion
The Trump administration has put a hold on all federal financial grants and loans, affecting tens of billions of dollars in payments.

If you want to understand that no, Mark Zuckerman isn't some harmless money-grubbing schmuck, go read the truly shocking "Mindf*ck: Cambridge Analytica And The Plot To Break America" by whistleblower Christopher Wylie. You will have trouble sleeping after reading this book.

ABC, NBC & CBS dedicated about 16 minutes of airtime last night to the California wildfires without once mentioning climate change.

When I opened my laptop, the screen was flipped upside down. A cat once did this so I knew vaguely how to fix it, but the advice I found online didn’t work so I contacted our tech guy. He said I’m the fourth person since Monday this has happened to, after the latest Windows 11 update. Good update
