Little social distancing was seen at an enormous rally in Brooklyn, which ironically took place just as the New York State governor signed-out bars and restaurants as the grossest violators of the Covid-19 lockdown rules. Thousands of white-clad protesters have filled the courtyard of the Brooklyn Museum in solidarity with the black transgender community, and to draw attention to the deaths of transgender people in prisons and police custody. The crowd, however, appeared to be completely ignoring social distancing rules put in place to slow down the spread of Covid-19 – prompting many to wonder how this stands with New York […]

Governor Tom Wolf, D, Pennsylvania, is popping his lid at the notion that counties are planning on opening up without his approval and in defiance of his orders.
