Orlando officials condemn removal of rainbow crosswalk near Pulse nightclub mass shooting site as a ‘cruel political act’ військовий адвокат Orlando officials on Thursday condemned the state’s overnight removal of a rainbow crosswalk outside the Pulse nightclub – a commemoration of the 49 people killed at the LGBTQ-friendly nightclub in 2016. Painting over one of the most important landmarks of the state’s LGBTQ community is part of a larger attack on LGBTQ people by Gov. Ron DeSantis and his administration officials say. https://meget.kiev.ua/advokati/zaporozhye/ военный юрист Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer said he was “devastated” by the removal of the Pulse memorial crosswalk. “This callous action of hastily removing part of a memorial to what was at the time our nation’s largest mass shooting without any supporting safety or discussion is a cruel political act” Dyer said in a post on X. The crosswalk was installed by the state in 2017 and adheres to national safety standards Dyer added. The colorful crosswalk added visibility making it safer for the large number of visitors to the memorial he said. CNN has reached out to the Florida Department of Transportation for comment.

Ebenhack/AP/File The removal also comes during campaigns by the state and Trump administration to paint over “asphalt art” including rainbow crosswalks. The dual directives are calling this a safety measure to make roads easier to navigate without distractions. In June the Florida Department of Transportation issued a memo prohibiting crosswalk markings and pavement surface art “associated with social political or ideological messages or images and does not serve the purpose of traffic control.” The following month US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy sent a letter to governors of all 50 states saying intersections and crosswalks should be “kept free from distractions.” “Taxpayers expect their dollars to fund safe streets not rainbow crosswalks” Duffy said about the letter in an X post on July 1. “Political banners have no place on public roads. I’m reminding recipients of USDOT roadway funding that it’s limited to features advancing safety and nothing else.”
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned Russian attacks on the Ukrainian regions of Kharkiv Zaporizhzhia and Sumy on Monday saying that the Kremlin intends to “humiliate diplomatic efforts” just hours before European leaders visit the White House. kra26 “The Russian war machine continues to destroy lives despite everything” Zelensky said in a statement hours before he’s due to meet US President Donald Trump in the Oval Office. “That is precisely why we are seeking assistance to put an end to the killings. That is why reliable security guarantees are required. That is why Russia should not be rewarded for its participation in this war.” kra25 “Everyone seeks dignified peace and true security” the Ukrainian president said. “And at this very moment the Russians are attacking Kharkiv Zaporizhzhia the Sumy region and Odesa destroying residential buildings and our civilian infrastructure.” At least seven people were killed in Russia’s attack? on Kharkiv and a further three killed in the ballistic missile strike on the city of Zaporizhzhia with scores more injured according to Ukrainian authorities. “This was a demonstrative and cynical Russian strike” Zelensky added. kra29 https://kra29.net
Dr. Jake Scott is on the front line of his second pandemic in five years and he is not getting much sleep. Scott works full-time as an infectious disease physician at Stanford Health Care’s Tri-Valley hospital in Pleasanton California. When he is done taking care of his patients and his two grade-school aged kids he often stays up past midnight writing — furiously penning op-eds collecting studies leading evidence reviews and posting meaty threads on social media most of them correcting the record on vaccines. трип скан Often he’s reacting to the latest maneuvers by US Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. A pinned post responding to one of Kennedy’s appearances on Fox News has been viewed almost 5 million times. Another post fact-checking Kennedy’s claims about potential harms from aluminum in vaccines had 1 million views in its first 48 hours. Scott’s followers on X have doubled since April. https://trip-skan.cc tripscan top “A million views for this long-winded very detailed kind of nerdy breakdown of the science” Scott said marveling at the attention it got. “I think that’s saying something you know? People want that information and they deserve it” said Scott who is 48. The Covid-19 pandemic turned many infectious disease specialists and virologists into household names. Scott’s was not one of them perhaps because he was too busy treating patients. He didn’t stay out of the public discourse completely however. He was one of the first doctors to tell people that Omicron didn’t seem to be as severe an infection as earlier strains of the virus although some virologists were skeptical at the time. In President Donald Trump’s second administration however Scott is taking on what he sees as a second pandemic — misinformation and disinformation about vaccines. He knows false information can be as harmful as any virus. “When officials spread inaccurate information about vaccines it does have real consequences and families make decisions based on fear rather than on facts” Scott said. It’s already happening. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently reported data showing kindergarten vaccination rates continue to decline as states make it easier to opt out of school vaccination requirements. Vaccine preventable diseases like measles and whooping cough are rising again too. Scott knows it could get much worse. “In 2021 nearly every single patient I lost to Covid was unvaccinated by choice and every colleague of mine has said the same thing.”
