Today Brian Kilmeade advocated for the mass murder/euthanization of a vulnerable and marginalized section of our society. How did we get here?

The Euthanasia Program was the systematic murder of institutionalized patients with disabilities in Germany. It started in 1939, about two years before the Nazis began systematically murdering Europe's Jews as part of the "Final Solution."

Recycled cruelty…

1942: they called it “internment.”
2025: they call it “detention.”

I didn't celebrate 4th of July this year.

I can't celebrate a country that kidnaps and disappears US citizens, forces women to give birth against their will, and builds a concentration camp in the Everglades.

The fact we have secret police whisking people off the streets doesn’t get enough attention. It ain’t normal and we’re further down the road to authoritarianism than you think.

Gilead has announced that lenacapavir, the game-changing HIV prevention drug just approved by the FDA will cost $28,218 USD per person per year.

Researchers say a generic version could be made for just $25 per person a year.

Capitalism kills.
Lenacapavir is already sold as a treatment for H.I.V. infections that are resistant to other medications, at roughly $42,000 per patient per year. (Few individuals pay the full cost.) Lenacapavir taken to prevent H.I.V. infection, a regimen called pre-exposure prophylaxis, or PrEP, will be sold at a list price of $28,218, according to Gilead. Aids and HIV ‘HIV-ending’ drug could be made for just $25 per patient a year, say researchers As regulator prepares to approve lenacapavir in the US, campaigners are urging the manufacturer, Gilead, to make it ‘available and affordable for all who need it’

This. This this this. If you have a job that is so shameful you hide your identity you should not be in that job. Even if you think you are different, not the bad guy oh masked immigration officers, remember the Stanford Prison Experiment.

Not sure why this wasn’t done days ago. If there’s a reason, I’d like to hear it. But I’m glad it will get done at some point.

Do not normalize this in your own mind. Shrugging things like this off just gives those pushing fascist tactics permission to go further.
