'A rainbow crosswalk honoring the 49 victims of the 2016 Pulse nightclub
massacre was removed overnight on Wednesday, following a new directive from
President Donald Trump’s administration.
The crosswalk is on Orange Avenue in Orlando, Florida, right next to the
abandoned club that still stands as a memorial to the lives lost.
In a statement on X, Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer called the covert update a “cruel
political act.”
"We are devastated to learn that overnight the state painted over the Pulse
Memorial crosswalk on Orange Avenue," he said. "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 data, or discussion is a cruel
political act."'
Via Steven Vaughan-Nichols, who wrote "It’s not only the many big things Trump
and company do that upsets me. It’s the small, petty thing that shows that
cruelty is the point, which gets under my skin."
