Please for the love of god let this be true
basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

attorney job lists are full of employment law postings rn. useful for someone w exp in that, but also like, as a countercyclical field, a terrible indicator for the state of the overall economy and basically everybody else. lots of companies gearing up for firings and related union fights + lawsuits
