NYT [cont] -- You know how this column is supposed to end...all the similarities between Jews in Germany & trans people in the US: the fraction of the population; barrage of measures that strip away rights; vilifying rhetoric. But I find that line of argument both distasteful and disingenuous."
Opinion | There’s a Name for What Trump Is Doing to Trans People: Denationalizing
The message is that we are a threat to the nation. The subtext is that we are not of this nation.

It’s insane how many Dems and liberals have just regarded “trans people get the boot and are simply removed from society” as a natural, inevitable, and unpreventable consequence of Trump winning a plurality by 1.5%
"The chaos of these past few weeks shouldn’t mask that in this period, Trump has also waged as direct a campaign against a single, vulnerable minority as we’ve seen in generations."

From @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social. "If you’re always consumed by the next outrage, you can’t look closely at the last one. The impression of Trump’s power remains; the fact that he keeps stepping on rakes is missed. The projection of strength obscures the reality of weakness. Don’t believe him."
