Thanks to the decades-long, well-funded, almost invisible tendrils of the #TantonNetwork in absolutely every aspect of American political power and influence, matched by similar efforts all over the world. A global, far right power grab.
If you're finding the scope and scale of this difficult to grasp, just consider how easy it is for just one person to spoil and undo decades of progress. Destruction is so much easier than creation or mitigation
And that's why it's all centered around borders, immigration, and birth rates. Because of these orgs, which were brought en masse into DHS and other government agencies by the Trump administration. splcenter.org/fighting-hate/…
That's who I was warning about in this March 2020 thread, because I knew they were going to have influence over our national and international response to COVID. Why wouldn't they? A virus like that is a population control freak's dream.
As ever, I would have liked to have been wrong and crazy. And that is saying a lot, because one of the things I've discovered about myself since 2016 is that I have a very big hangup about my own personal dignity. Also I love being right about things

Just thinking back fondly to September 2 2005, the day I made Tom DeLay's eye twitch at the Astrodome by shouting at him that he wasn't telling the truth about Katrina
Maybe September 1, I should have fudged the date, I don't remember. But anyway fuck that guy
This is exactly why I have kept at pointing out the intersection of "immigration hawks" and those touting "passive eugenics" for so long, ever since the #TantonNetwork was brought into the federal government en masse by the Trump administration. This is what they are.
Don't get me wrong. They were already there. But they've metastasized now. Our border agencies are in very bad shape and should be matters of grave concern for anybody who cares about American security. They're a major threat to our national resilience.
They FAKED a shortage. As they were telling us that "meatpackers and regular Americans" had to make sacrifices. This is hideous. And it was guaranteed far more than a couple hundred people who died. Charge these meatpacking companies with crimes against humanity.
