When I say "the Trump administration is Nazis" I am not exaggerating nor am I just "referring to people I don't like as Nazis." I mean that the Trump administration is entirely full of people whose worldview aligns with those of the National Socialist German Worker's Party and its neo-Nazi heirs.

The Department of Homeland Security posted an active call for far-right ethnic cleansing today. Not a dogwhistle, not a euphemism, just directly saying “we must eliminate all non-whites from America."
The US is not "on the road to fascist authoritarian white supremacy." It's at the destination.

i guess the upshot is this was unusual
Experts say it’s highly unusual for the White House to tell agents to give up custody of potential evidence in an investigation, as it did with the Tates.
“I’ve never heard of anything like that in my 30 years working,” an ex-DHS official said.

This is wonderful news, and also means it’s time for me to beat the drum I always do when HPV vaccines make the news:
They are not only for women! HPV also causes penile, anal, and head and neck cancers. The latter are particularly deadly. Please vaccinate ALL your children.

Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.
This is the power of vaccines.
The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.
Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!

I’ll only add there was also cultural output about the soulless option of “buying in” as well, from The Graduate down to Breakfast Club
the wave of late 50s moral panic culture like Rebel Without A Cause and Catcher In The Rye was about the boomers as teens. basically all cultural output by gen x was about their burnout stoner idiot friends and themselves being too demoralized to live normal lives
Today’s “teenage mental health crisis” and social media panic are founded in nostalgic myths. Our best long-term surveys and statistics show Boomer and Xer teens were no happier or more “together” than teens are today

I am a little tired of being yelled at for this but apparently not tired about: heroin addiction is not RFK’s problem. He’s a sociopath. Most addicts aren’t. Honestly, walk into an NA meeting, grab the first person with a few years to be head of HHS and they’d probably do a better job than Bobby.
This is what happens when you put a privileged, 14 year heroin addict in charge of health. Duh
