Also I was learning about the masacre of the Herero people by Germany at the turn of the 20th Century. Once Hasbara blew up I saw how it had distorted our understanding of colonial genocide. So I’m extra concerned about this framing and how it is wielded

“Three generations of morons are enough.” Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, justifying forced sterilization. I will never forget it.
Also Killing The Black Body by the brilliant Dorothy Roberts tells the history of the “Mississippi Appendectomy” and forced sterilization of Indigenous folks

Much of what German eugenics got from the U.S. was regarding its treatment of Disabled people. Brandt's lawyer at Nuremberg defended him by asking how bad the forced sterilization programs Brandt oversaw could have been given the U.S. Supreme Court upheld Buck v. Bell.
Indiana's compulsory sterilization law was overturned by the Indiana Supreme Court in 1921, but in 1927 the U.S. Supreme Court upheld Virginia's compulsory sterilization law for patients of mental institutions in Buck v. Bell.
Buck v. Bell has never been overturned.

Last week I wrote “The border crossed us. We’re gonna abolish it,” and this is exactly what I meant: most Americans are accustomed to ignoring the deep violence of the agencies that maintain US national borders. Border Patrol are trained to be murderous. They are teaching ICE to be likewise.
I just want to make it clear that it was *Border Patrol* agents who murdered Alex Pretti, and those fuckers murder people regularly here along the border.
Renee Good´s murderer is also a former Border Patrol agent (currently ICE).
Disband ALL the paramilitary groups and prosecute every member.

Seeing the NYT switch to active voice feels like watching a seal holding back the apocalypse crack
years and years of avoiding plain language and the active voice do make the choice to use it more impactful, I suppose
