In recent decades, the birthrate-obsessed in the Western world were conspiracy theorists panicked about “the great replacement” of white people—until they found weirdo billionaires willing to repackage eugenics as a remedy.
Now, they have allies in the White House.

The Trump Administration Isn't Pro-Family. It's Pro-Patriarchy.
So-called pronatalist policies to increase the birth rate often involve rewarding the "right" kind of family—an exercise that's hard to separate from its sexist and racist origins.

The government ignored his protective legal status & deported Abrego Garcia. “Now they claim that the court is powerless to order any relief. If that’s true, the immigration laws are meaningless because the government can deport ANYONE & no court can do anything about it once it’s done.”

I hope Wisconsin voters are hearing this. When Elon Musk says the election is about whether or not Trump's agenda will be carried out, he's saying the "judge" he's promoting is going to decide cases in favor of Republican politics.
