And there has never been any need to defend eugenics.
NEVER.
There are ZERO ethical, moral, philosophical or scientific justifications for eugenics.
You cannot have just a smidge of "nice" eugenics.

yes, this is so important. Was *just* talking about this in my BioAnth class. Students were shocked to see the quotes from leading scientists and scholars who thought this was a great idea. The textbooks were full of eugenic ideas.

1. Historically, eugenics was not a pseudoscience. It was *science* Almost every scientist, social scientist, academic, etc. believed in the validity of eugenics. You would have to search far & wide to find a scientist that didn't believe in some form of it. They taught it in college!

We can thank Nancy for backing him these last few years instead of progressive candidates.
Trump pardoned Democratic Rep. Henry Cuellar of Texas (an repeated progressive target in Dem primaries, he narrowly survived multiple times) from bribery and conspiracy charges.
Cuellar just thanked him profusely on social; obvious questions as to whether Cuellar switches parties.
