 Misconceived story of the day: paralleling a family's decision to leave Iowa because their child can no longer get transgender care with a family's decision to leave Oregon because they're fed up with liberals, saying both are "political" decisions and this is why we are fracturing as a society. This framing flattens out so much relevant detail – mainly the existential threat of policies targeting trans people – that the story becomes meaningless, anti-informative https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/07/us/politics/politics-states-moving.html?smid=nytcore-android-share
