Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s administration is pulling out of a federal program meant to help veterans transition out of homelessness, alleging the Trump administration would have required New York City to discriminate against transgender vets seeking shelter to receive the funding.
But federal officials are denying that claim, and say the city walked away from the program after the veterans agency notified the Mamdani administration the city would receive less money than it had in the past
I been thinking for a while. Less people would ignore current government targeting minority groups if hurting minority groups directly hurt the ignoring people also.
A law that’s meant to specifically hurt trans veterans now hurts veterans in general. More people will protest that law now. I kinda like this.
Doesn’t always work. People chose to close public pools rather than desegregate, for example.
