these people hate DEI because they would be unemployable in any system where they couldn’t rely on favoritism and nepotism

U.S. Park Service Strikes Transgender References From Stonewall Website
The “T” was removed in references to L.G.B.T.Q.+ on the official site for the Greenwich Village monument, which marks a milestone in the fight for gay rights. Later, the Q+ also disappeared.

These executive orders on banning federally funded entities from recognizing trans people or disallowing them from using the bathroom are not self-executing or immediately enforceable. They require formal rule making at a minimum. They are a scare tactic. Ignore and do not comply in advance.

I keep thinking about this. It’s just so disturbing that someone at Facebook is getting paid to brainstorm approved slurs against queer folks and immigrants and put them in a neat list to circulate. It’s their JOB
NEW: Platformer has obtained the dehumanizing new guidelines moderating what people can now say about trans people on Facebook and Instagram. Employees tell me these changes are likely to inspire more violence against LGBT people: www.platformer.news/meta-new-tra...

NEW: I've obtained internal Meta docs revealing an array of sample posts that are now allowed under new hate speech rules. Examples include calling children "trannies," “Jews are flat out greedier than Christians," and “immigrants are grubby, filthy pieces of shit”

I wrote about how Congress has turned into a senior center.
How many AOCs are never elected because 80-year-olds refuse to step down?
How many young lawmakers don’t acquire leadership roles — and miss out on years of experience — because seniority is prized above anything else?

Congress Has Become a Waiting Room for Heaven
Who says our senior leaders have to be senior citizens?

It’s outrageous the State Government are continuing with their failed negotiation tactic with Sydney Trains staff. Just pay them and we can all enjoy our summer.

ABC (Disney), Washington Post (Bezos), Meta (Zuckerberg), LA Times (Soon-Shiong)... all bending the knee to Trump, all obeying in advance, all sucking up to the Dictator-in-Waiting.
This is (part of) how democracies die. This is the Orban, Putin, Netanyahu and Modi playbooks.

Merrick Garland has been a disaster for our country.
Shame on him for allowing Trump to never face consequences for the largest attack ever on our democracy.

Still can’t get over how many people on the right voluntarily went to bat for Matt Gaetz despite allegations of sex trafficking of a minor. Not only was it for nothing since the AG nomination failed… but now you’re forever on record advocating for an alleged statutory rapist.

It was honestly so packed I couldn't even get in. The level of pride I have for everyone who came together to show true unity. This was historic and a moment our city will never forget. #toitutetiriti #maori
Stuff is reporting that Parliament grounds are essentially full with still thousands on the hikoi yet to arrive. I am so so proud to be tangata Tiriti & Pākehā today. Te Tiriti gives me a place to stand here in this whenua alongside tangata whenua. Thank you Aotearoa. PHOTO: Megan Jones

Incredibly proud to be part of a dedicated team that has put together a phenomenal 2025 Mardi Gras programme - against all odds. To celebrate that last Thursday with everyone who helped make it a reality - our team, partners, icons, and community - was a true joy.
