Proud Germanophobe possessed by the ghost of Paul Preston. Modern Islamophobia is reinvented antisemitism. Everything is eugenics. Free Palestine, Sudan, Congo, and Kalaallit Nunaat.

eugenics was always a program to allocate resources away from "useless eaters" and into the hands of the national community. neoliberalism and many "famines" in the past two centuries exemplify this. slap the original definition out of someone's hands next time they bring it up

“There’s no other nation, only Somali people in Guantanamo Bay, in the prison. And when we ask them why we are here, they tell us…Washington…ordered to keep Somali people in the Guantanamo Bay.”

“Nobody tell us that we’re going to Guantanamo Bay. Just like kidnapping.”

ICE put 12 Somali men on a plane and told them they were being deported to Somalia. Instead, they were taken to Guantanamo Bay.

It really is worth remembering just last year the conventional wisdom on immigration was that people supported mass deportation to such a degree people should be cautious in opposing the Trump administration snatching people and sending them to CECOT.

I don’t know the context here so I’m not weighting on anything specifically but sometimes it seems more curious that the argument is “Expanding the definition makes the word pointless” and not “So many things are increasingly falling under this definition”
I wonder what you actually mean by "eugenicists" here. Seriously. I have seen people use it in extremely expansive ways, which makes the word pointless without specification.

Trump claims he was basically lifted out of the rubble on 9/11: "Two fireman, big strong guys, they grabbed me under the arms -- 'got to get our of here!' -- and they literally lifted me up, and they started running with me."

@connoreatspants.bsky.social's stream what you get from Blue + Yellow, and he said Orange.
He was asked how to spell "discipline" and "colonel" and gave up.
He was asked when World War II was and said 1935.

The baseline of politics on Disabled people's civil rights and welfare in this country is and has been a mainstream foundational argument that Disabled people are treated so well that the only common sense solution is to treat us badly in order to ward off scammers.
"When politicians do mention Disabled people and the social safety net, how often are they talking about 'making sure resources only go to those who truly need them'?

"Which is politician for 'making Disabled people's lives harder to score political points with folks who hate Disabled people'."

The online discourse around the Lindsay Clancy trial is more focused on removing women’s rights than closing the healthcare gap that led to this tragedy.

Men would rather take away our right to vote than demand better care for postpartum depression.
