Hundreds of protesters gathered at Stonewall National Monument to show their support for the LGBTQ+ community
In response to the Trump administration’s removal of a pride flag at Stonewall National Monument, around 200 protesters gathered at the site to both support the LGBTQ+ community and demand history not be erased.
Named for the site of the historic 1969 Stonewall riots, a pivotal turning point in the fight for LGBTQ+ rights. The Stonewall monument became a national monument in 2016 and is considered the first one dedicated to the LGBTQ+ community and to honoring that history.
Why is this good news? As New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani said, “New York is the birthplace of the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement, and no act of erasure will ever change, or silence, that history.” These protesters, and the entire LGBTQ+ community, are making sure history is preserved.

Lead pollution has dropped 100-fold in the U.S. over the last century
New research analyzing hair samples shows a dramatic reduction in lead levels since 1916, before and after regulations were established by the Environmental Protection Agency.
The study showed that after lead was banned in gasoline in the 1970s, despite fuel consumption rising, concentrations of lead in the hair samples plummeted from as high as 100 parts per million to 10 ppm by 1990. It was less than one ppm in 2024.
Before the Environmental Protection Agency was established in 1970, lead was all over the U.S., from smokestacks and paint to pipes and car exhaust emissions.
“Today we honor this achievement — and tomorrow, we keep cooking. Because feeding people is the most basic act of humanity, and Gaza still needs the world to show up.”
