The openly egenicist and eliminationist workdview of MAHA is a direct outgrowth of the bipartisan necropolitics and embrace of social Darwinism in the aftermath of the pandemic.
The get back to work and anti mask movement was always a Trojan horse for eugenics based autogenocide.

Honestly, the spike in anti queer rhetoric and legislation after having a short lived breather is just a reminder we need to be aggressively and unapologetically queer and loud about it. Make more queer art. Write more queer stories. Make more queer friends. Engage more with queer communities

NEW: CBP is doubling down on a surveillance strategy built around small, human-portable drones, pushing border enforcement toward a distributed surveillance network that can operate in harsh climes and mixed terrain to rapidly cue agents.
Border Patrol Bets on Small Drones to Expand US Surveillance Reach
Federal records show CBP is moving from testing small drones to making them standard surveillance tools, expanding a network that can follow activity in real time and extend well beyond the border.

A chilling account of what stress from ICE raids does to the pregnant body: high blood pressure, disrupted sleep, chest pains, depression. And when immigrants fear going outside, they skip prenatal appts & go untreated. OBs are worried: "These policies are having very deep effects on our patients.”
For months, I've been talking to providers and researchers across the country to understand how the Trump administration's immigration policies are impacting reproductive health. The story is out today in @rewirenewsgroup.com. I hope you'll give it a read:

NEW: 6th Cir upholds the fed law barring undocumented immigrants from having guns.
What's shocking, though, is Judge Thapar's separate opinion arguing that noncitizens lack not only 2nd Am rights, but likely 1st, 4th & other const'l rights! 🧵

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.
