If major papers wanted a stunning angle, how about the fact that 5-7 *million* Americans mobilized and I didn’t see 1 significant act of violence by protesters
That is a *remarkable* achievement for a contemporary social movement in a highly polarized society

The trailblazing transgender rights activist Miss Major has passed away at the age of 78.
Miss Major was a lifelong organizer and participant in the ballroom scene. She took part in the 1969 Stonewall Riots and was injured by the police — but she kept fighting.

Per CDC source: At internal leadership meeting this afternoon, it was shared that 1,257 people were RIF'd at CDC. Number may not be final. Apparently, chief of staff was unaware that RIFs were going to occur so not clear who is making decisions. (Short 🧵)

The "mean" in "Greenwich Mean Time" actually means "mean" (like, average). I did not know this!
To calculate GMT they took the position of the sun throughout the year and averaged it out to find the average solar noon in Greenwich and based the time on that!
