I have worked with many untenured staff scientists & PIs at NIH. They are incredible colleagues who chose science in public service over more lucrative careers. Devaluing their commitment & professionalism is among the most cruel aspects of the DOGE purge

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’m headed to Stonewall to cover a protest against the Trump administration erasing trans and queer people from the Stonewall National Monument website last night. See below from ACT UP, and AP coverage of the website purge.

The removal of a transgender reference from the National Park Service’s Stonewall website wasn’t done by NPS staff. Elon, care to elaborate?

Hundreds of L.A. landlords have hiked rents on desperate people fleeing the wildfires.

Landlords for at least 400 properties appear to have ignored the law and the warnings of California's Attorney General and illegally raised rents since the fires began.

Hundreds of L.A. landlords hike rents to capitalize on 'desperate' fire evacuees
Price hikes of more than 10% are illegal during a state of emergency. But that hasn't stopped landlords seeking to profit from the L.A.'s ongoing disaster.
