Block anyone from Texas who’s trying to come to NY or other Blue states

I wouldn't do that. On r/science they have proven that one's political values doesn't correlate with the values of the state they are from, but with the state they are moving to.

People born in TX, FL, and other red states are not bad people. it's the folks who move from NY and NJ to TX and FL who are foaming at the mouth from being unvaccinated.

The NYT has a study which proves the same thing. People who move from blue states to red states are old, fascist, and white working class. People who move from red states to blue states are young, female, and progressive.

Generally I agree... but it's worth considering that if we take in folks from Red States... those states just get that much more Red. Not sure that's a good thing.

That said, given that we are probably only a few months from Trans folks getting put in concentration camps in Red States, moral duty etc. 🤦‍♀️

Right. Let's also talk about an effort to #BoycottRedStates (yes I know hashtags do nothing here... but in the other places).

For travel in particular, but more generally, let's not fund our own oppression by sending money to folks who hate us or go to places with collapsing health systems like... Texas!
