Wow, the facts hit hard don’t they? Great read . I’m 70 and it’s unimaginable to me that these things have been going on for decades. I think that with the citizenry paying more attention to their government and Shitlers crimes they are beginning to realize that these horrors have never stopped.

Your work is critical! Thank you!

Disability rights organizations (ADAPT and Not Dead Yet among others) have actively opposed the legalization of physician assisted dying for 40 years as a symptom of the neoliberal-led, modern eugenics movement. Unfortunately we are often overshadowed, and our credibility diminished, by religious colleagues who may agree with us in opposing assisted dying, but who are definitely NOT on the same page when it comes to providing palliative care and disability supports necessary to prevent the (alleged) "choice" to die from becoming a duty to die.

Combatting the indoctrinated rugged individualism is also part of this. We need to get people to CARE past their own lives, because culturally that's how most of this mess has continued for so long, especially in the last three years. 🇵🇸🇸🇩🇨🇩🇨🇺🏳️‍🌈🌍

Rugged individualism is Herbert Hoover, through and through. It was a campaign slogan. Its anti collective bargaining. We should be wary of anti union beliefs the way we used to be anti communism. A community requires a degree of socialism. Not as a step to communism but in its own right.

This is a precise and accurate accounting of the way Structural Eugenics is being worshipped in the U.S. right now. It's also a backbone of and fundamental to the development/programming of all AI tools, per this excellent paper by Timnit Gebru and Emile P. Torres https://www.firstmonday.org/ojs/index.php/fm/article/view/13636. We must interrupt and resist this disgusting power framework.

I've been calling this out for months. Thank you for this piece Qasim. It's just so unbelievable that in this time in history, this is still the focus of the white patriarchy. Thats why so many people are still in denial about whats happening and what the end result will be. You're 100% right - we need to keep calling it out!

I would also add to your list of ways the regime is killing us, the removal of protections for our natural spaces; allowing mining using the Boundary Waters in the north, gutting protections for the parts of Alaska that stand between established roads & the minerals the oligarchs need for their pet-products, selling off protected forests for lumber and removing hundreds of bison from the prairies so domestic cattle can replace them. All of it will result in, and is designed to produce, many deaths. But not for the white billionaire epstein class. The death is for the rest of us. And when they have turned the US into a smoking swath of scorched earth, they will just hop on a plane and head off to another country to repeat the process. Or, maybe they'll have their settlements on the Moon and Mars by then? 🤷‍♀️

If we dont fight it, we will surely die from it ... as they intended from the start.

Free the American people NOW! ✊️🥹🇺🇸

This is the secret government made public. The decades of the secret backdoors, the cabal of the super rich and political figures - all of the trouble in the world right now can be traced to them.

We need to eat the rich as soon as possible.

Quasim, with such strong support of your critique, please specify your suggestions for common folks, I.e. not elected or appointed people. Voting seems both slow and unreliable. Other suggestions?! Please.

Look at the work in the UK's Byline Times about how Peter Thiel is connected to a "Western" project that looks like Western Chauvinism. In fact it is pervaded with "Race Science" and "Race IQ" and "biological determinism" (= only two sexes, women made to be nurturing and domestic). They have an overlapping "Free Speech Union" fostered in around 8 countries to extend free speech protection for the "right" to claim this stuff is science, ahead of all the other culture war tosh they protect. It's connected to the (Thiel fostered?) NatCon space which is all around Project 2025 and Trump's regime.

You should interview Nafeez Ahmed about his book Alt Reich that covers that eugenics (and Islamophobia-producing) history from WW2 into the Thiel era. It's fascinating.

Another great article drop Q! Here's what's being suggested: women of childbearing years, stock up on mifepristone - NOW (set up an underground network within your communities/friends just in case). Some have suggested going to Europe and sending back care packages (wink wink). Get vaxxed b4 they're completely banned. I'm scheduled for my physical beginning of June. Ladies get your mammogram. Stay informed. Try and stay healthy by eating a healthy diet (I know it's not always ez). They're counting on people giving into despair & hopelessness. This regime is truly despicable & ghoulish. Gawd help us.

I have been saying this was eugenics for almost a year.

I'm one of those who was screeching about the Roberts Court since the Shelby decision in 2013 & was ignored

... and now look, even though he was incredibly cynical about keeping Section 2 of the VRA in place then in order to justify eviscerating Section 5

That said, Covid is endemic now and is basically the new common cold or seasonal flu (with death rates low and on par with such). Otherwise, this article is 💯 correct.

Qasim,

Thank you for your human rights advocacy & speaking truth to power! Your law degree, wealth of knowledge & compassion for all people is priceless! Much respect & appreciation for you!

I knew some of this but not all of it. While reading this through tears, it took my breath away.

I've been saying everything this US regime does is intentional. From collapsing our country, which professor Timothy Snyder called an attempted suicide of a superpower by its own government! Getting rid of regulations that otherwise protect us from poisons in air, water, land & foods. Taking away food asst & healthcare for CHILDREN!😞

Starting an illegal war for no reason!

So many cruel & criminal acts.😤

This needs to be on EVERY platform, every independent journalist's page & sent to all Independent news media.

Dr. Snyder is definitely a man to read! He knows what he is talking about!

Thanks for writing about this! Horrifying!

Great breakdown!

I have referenced the return of Eugenics in this regime. Other disabled writers are also calling it out.

So much for valuing human life. We are at the Aminal Farm stage.
