They removed the mention of trans people. From a website for the Stonewall. When trans women were the ones to lead these protests. Marsha and Sylvia have always deserved better, but this is disgusting.
Erasing our history won't erase us.
Transgender people have always been here — and we always will be.

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.

A non-government business that contracts with the federal government received notice today that in order to do business with the government they must certify that they don’t participate in DEI.

WATCH: Trump suggests permanent resettling Palestinians outside of Gaza, sees U.S. 'ownership' of area
Trump's audacious proposal appears certain to roil the next stage of talks meant to extend the tenuous ceasefire between Israel and Hamas and secure the release of the remaining hostages held in Gaza.

This is grossly irresponsible reporting by the AP. What’s being offered is not a buyout. The deal is if you agree to resign in September you can continue working remotely until then. There is no buyout or severance.
