Because they are eugenicists. Back in the day when we still had to go to the library to make copies of scientific papers from peer-reviewed journals, I always made a point to grab an issue of an old Eugenics journal and copy a random article as a reminder of the dangers of malicious intent.

To take a life in the name of justice is a weighty thing and indelibly stains the soul. To fail in doing so is beyond monstrous. It is simply torture. It is unforgiveable. And the fact that someone had to file a petition to stop them trying again is inhuman(e).

friend invited me to a "sip and paint". i had not painted a thing in about 35 years so i had zero expectations. turns out i'm a speed painter. who knew?!! the nice thing is as my canvas filled out, my mind became a blank canvas itself. it's become very breezy up here all of a sudden!
An acrylic painting on canvas, propped on a wooden shelf, showing a black raven perched on the curling stem of a large orange pumpkin. Behind them, black silhouetted evergreens rise against teal and purple mountains, under a sky that blends yellow and orange into swirling purple clouds with a spiraled moon in the upper left, painted in a loose Van Gogh-ish style.

MAHA has been partisan since its inception, because the concept of MAHA as a general movement didn’t really exist until RFK Jr. co-opted the slogan, which happened *after* he’d bent the knee to Donald Trump. Before that, it was just groups of “health freedom” advocates, quacks, and antivaxxers.

In January 2022, the worst part of the pandemic for kids, the Urgency of Normal was very concerned (!) about the mental, social, emotional & behavioral health of our children. Today, under MAHA/MAGA they are silent. A discussion of our disingenuous pandemic discourse. My latest.
