I do believe that eugenics is the key to this moment & am even drafting something with a friend about how everything we’re seeing them do today comes down to the idea that everyone else should be in service of the perfect white man they imagine themselves to be
It would appear CNN was also at the eugenics conference? Why are all these mainstream news orgs at a 200-person event where all the speakers are eugenicists and racists? www.cnn.com/2025/04/11/u...

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.
This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.
Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.
And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

This is so fucking heartbreaking. These are people’s sons. These are people’s loved ones. These are human beings. No one deserves this. This is a prison camp that unwanteds are being sent to. Are you listening? This has to be stopped. Make no mistake it’s going to be our sons next.
“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”
