Eugenics were and continue to be at play with letting COVID rip and normalizing its spread—as if it’s just another seasonal respiratory virus with no long term effects.

Don’t fall for it. Wear a good mask and protect yourself and others.
Guys the people currently grabbing up power in the USA are part of a network that openly believes in "passive eugenics" so yes they are trying to kill everybody. They think the planet is overpopulated with "the wrong kinds of people"

"You received all of your tests face down, didn't you?" is one of those classics that never loses its edge.
If you want to shout devastating but technically non-threatening things at ICE, you can say, "you look like your mom chose shitty men to be your step dads." Or "you look like your dad always had an excuse for missing your birthday."

He also seems glad to have the opportunity to undermine vaccine requirements because he views it as an experiment.

Democratic Leadership will never cut funding for ICE state-sanctioned terrorism without extreme pressure.

That’s why a coalition of creators (w/ a reach of over 20 million followers) & organizers are presenting them with an ultimatum if they don’t whip their caucuses against this DHS funding bill.

Once again plugging the 5 Calls app. It gets you the numbers of your House representative and both of your senators, provides scripts for what to say on upcoming votes. Easy and accessible. In my experience I usually just end up leaving voicemails to their offices.
So the House is going to vote TOMORROW on the DHS funding bill that includes funding for ICE.

There's a real chance we can get Dems to vote NO on any bill with ICE funding to sink it.

Once it goes to the Senate we likely lose this chance.

24 hours. Go.

Trump’s and MAGA’s attacks on science have been a lot less visible than their wannabe paramilitary violence but will harm just as many Americans with needless death and suffering that will ruin lives and destroy families. And it’s not just biomedical sciences; it’s everything, and it will affect you

Theory: another reason why the powers that be are against mass transit is that mass transit allows you to Not Be Isolated in Bumfuck Nowhere and Actually Get Exposed to Things outside the 50 miles of corn/wheat/soybean fields that surround you
Outside the US, you might look at maps like this and think most people voted for Trump, but most of America is empty or sparely populated space. A majority of the population lives in the blue dots. Land doesn't get a vote. People do. The actual people did not vote for this.

The people who are hurting the most from what America is doing are AMERICANS, and yes, I count immigrants as Americans. The most vulnerable among us, the ones being targeted, are rarely people who voted for any of this, and in fact were denied the right to cast a vote that would get counted.
