Just watching a "rare film footage" documentary on Hitler's rise and in one speech he mentioned improving the strength and health" of the German people, which made me immediately think of the eugenic undertones of this administration and RFK in particular.

I mean, it's not that much of a shock at this point. Trump, RFK Jr., and all the rest in his cabinet are openly eugenicists who would sooner see everyone who so much as catches a cold drop dead than ever fund a single disabled person.

Two days before DOJ issued its memo abandoning the landmark Olmstead decision, Stephen Miller’s team previewed the broader strategy at a secret White House meeting with advocates and conservative think tank leaders.

He also didn't want braille floor markers next to the elevator buttons because no blind people would be living in Trump Tower.

The idea is to feed helpless dependent people into a privatized system of incarceration that loots the government of taxpayer dollars, funnels money to people who bribe Republicans and tRump, and delivers abominable care that hastens their deaths to make room for the next batch to make more money.
