For my RGV folks who think South Texas has never had a โraceโ or โracismโ problem, I leave you this:

Todays TX ruling on restricting PrEP is a racist attack on communities of color.
It is queer and trans communities of color that are disproportionately impacted by HIV acquisition, more so in the South. Rulings like today are infuriating and designed to undermine our existence.

The worst part is that the Musk foundation is funding projects and events throughout the City of Brownsville. These funds are only accessible if the Musk foundation approves, no community input- these changes/improvements are solely for the purpose of benefiting Space X staff.(1)
SpaceX plans to launch rockets near Brownsville, Texas, and send the first person to Mars from there. Seven years after breaking ground, residents say the only thing skyrocketing is housing prices.
