NEW: Elon Musk and SpaceX have taken control of part of Texas.
In the town of Brownsville, one of the poorest communities in America, Musk sold hope.
Instead, SpaceX caused earthquakes, workplace injuries, and displacement. And now they've built a company town too.

NY Times repeatedly edited the headline.
First changing it from "trans man" to "man", then changing it from "man" to "person".
There is no innocent or flattering way to read this.
This is simply post-death erasure, because the Times accepts and supports Trump's assertion that we do not exist.

hello cis friends
this is what people mean by trans genocide
if a type of person does not officially exist, then any harm against them cannot be measured or reported
this headline change isn't even being caused by an executive order
it's simply the NYT editors deciding we don't deserve to exist

I'm not a political analyst so I'm probably way off base but it seems to me the more Democrats fight Republicans on literally everything, the more voters who hate what Republicans are doing and will do will vote for them, and the more they acquiesce into bipartisanship, the less that will happen.

Democrats will often look at something that doesn’t poll well and think “oh no, better move away from that!” but they’re getting their role backwards. parties influence public opinion. if you’re purely reactive, you’re just letting the GOP frame every debate.
the lesson of the election isn’t “we should give up on trans rights,” it’s that the GOP took an issue that negatively impacted almost no one and made it a headliner. why would it help to surrender on an issue if they can create a grievance from thin air?

TL;DR version: we're not going to have an administrative state anymore.
No consumer protections. No environmental protections. No workplace protections. No financial reporting protections.
It's going to be great for plutocrats, right up until the next economic collapse.
