Ok to recap in SF: biggest crowd I’ve ever seen in Dolores Park, slowly marching down Dolores, Market and Van Ness, gathering people along h to r way. I’d say 40K minimum, could be a lot more. Vibes are great. Cops guarding Gov buildings and freeway entrances, otherwise not present.

As someone who used to manage transgenic mouse colonies, the deep apparent misunderstanding of "transgenic" vs. "transgender" here is fucking hilarious and sad (if true).
Trump claimed the Biden administration spent $8 million "making mice transgender." The White House tried to back up this number with records of funding for research into cancer, asthma, and HIV, some of which used *transgenic* (genetically modified) mice.
Trump Decried Millions Spent 'Making Mice Transgender.' It Was Cancer and Asthma Research
President Trump falsely claimed that Biden spent $8 million on 'making mice transgender,' but the real research was for human health.

I have covered presidential politics for 40 years. This was the most juvenile display by a President and Vice President I have ever seen. Other presidents treated their enemies with more respect. This is a low point and a dark day for the US. Totally embarrassing.
