The Trump administration is proposing sweeping changes to the rules governing the 2030 US Census, including a requirement that could make questions about biological sex mandatory for respondents, a change critics say could effectively force transgender people to disclose their trans status to the federal government.

    The only thing that matters is who wins the 2028 election. This can all be reversed and census is not until 2030

      2028 is the start of resistance mate. By 2030 we’re either in foxholes or, at best, working towards building a class conscious movement that will inevitably be broken by capital. You gotta think beyond the next election. This level of corruption isn’t being fixed by a midterm or a single presidential run.

            Well again, we’re having an election in November. And we’re all eagerly waiting. You theory will be more sound if you wait until November and interpret the results. It will certainly be relevant. Which country is it that you live in? Must be nice to not have a far right political party creeping into ultimate power??? Obviously you’re not from Germany, right???

              What are you on about? I honestly cant tell. Are you replying to someone else? Who said Im not afraid of far right politics? All I said was Trump wont allow elections in 2028, hed rather take down the whole country with him. And regarding “waiting for the results in November”, sure. If Republicans get the majority of votes, theres no reason for them to prevent elections in 28 Ill give you that, but if that happens you guys are more fucked than I could have imagined.
