Neko Castleberry, PhD @nekoc-phd.bsky.social · 05/09/2025Surprise, surprise!! GOP trying to make eugenics popular again, while also using the govt to pressure people into 1950s nuclear families! They want to take money from child care programs (e.g., HeadStart) & give it to families that stay home and rear children (guess which parent stays home). 000
