NYT is doing an inverse Niemöller.
First they came for trans folks, and I did nothing—
because it wasn't consequential.
Then they came for DEI, and I did nothing—
because I thought undoing civil rights would have a positive impact.

Their construction is passive— they have to act like it just happened, because they cannot and will not own their complicity in the descent into fascism.
