The Trump regime continues to double down on their eugenicist choices, nominating Casey Means, a wellness influencer, for surgeon general.

I’ve said for a long time that “wellness” is eugenics adjacent.

While there’s nothing wrong with a healthy lifestyle, no amount of green juice, yoga, meditation or sunlight can cure disabilities.

What’s worse, wellness “influencers” almost always blame the chronically ill for not trying hard enough.

Between Means, Prasad, RFK Jr and Dr Oz, things look bleak for those with disabilities (but great for anyone hawking supplements!)

“'Think about the litany of mistakes.' Rachel Maddow says Trump is attempting an 'authoritarian overthrow' of the US government, but is too incompetent to pull it off."

"There’s neofascism and crypto-fascism and ur-fascism and Islamofascism. But Donald Trump has given us something new: clown-show fascism.

Clown-show fascism describes a regime marked simultaneously by hubristic and defiant assaults on the democratic and constitutional order on the one hand and, on the other, a nearly laughable incompetence in just about every other area of the regime’s activity."

~ Michael Tomasky

Berlin is deporting four foreign residents after their participation in protests against Israel’s war on Gaza. Three are EU citizens, including two from Ireland.

The deportation orders are unlawful, but Berlin’s senate is going ahead anyway.
