"This is mass eugenics, social darwinism, all based on racism. It’s not 'humanity' Musk and DOGE are worried about, they’re worried about white men losing their dominance.
We’re looking at evil, square in the face, men marinated in a closed loop of white supremacy who have convinced themselves that they should literally play god with the rest of us….."

"DOGE’s destruction of USAID will cause the deaths of millions of Black people.
DOGE’s assault on Social Security will kill disabled & elderly people.
DOGE’s attack on SNAP & other programs will kill poor people.
DOGE & RFK Jr.’s attack on HHS & vaccines will kill millions of vulnerable Americans."

Jim Stewartson comments on how curious it is, viewed from one standpoint, that Elon Musk is ranting about humanity dying and pronatalism, since:
"You would think that this paranoia about 'humanity dying' would mean Musk and DOGE would try to save as many lives as possible. Nevertheless:"

I just watched this gem https://iview.abc.net.au/show/made-in-dagenham & absolutely loved it. I knew nothing of this massive watershed moment til now, but expect that women 5 or 10+ years older than i might remember it from their younger days. Anyway, IMO this dramatisation / recreation of it is fabulous, & was accompanied by copious gasps from me at the breathtaking #patriarchy, #MaleEntitlement, #sexism & #misogyny, then whoops & roarrrrrrs at each brilliant thing the women achieved. Sensational. 
"Photos and histories of people of color, women, and the LGBTQ+ community are being purged, and nearly every day some new erasure is being uncovered. ... But there is one unique period in U.S. history that Trump and his cronies are very interested in preserving and promoting: the Confederacy."

"Through this interpretative lens, the appeal of White male cultural and political figures who operate unencumbered by traditional norms becomes more intelligible. They denigrate entire groups, putting their raw power and lack of accountability on display. In doing so, they represent an idealized form of masculinity that has deep roots within American Christianity."

"Lacking the training and tools to develop relationships rooted in love, mutuality, and respect, these men are left 'cast[ing] about for role models who fit the Image of God they’ve been taught about: a strong and violent masculine man who rules over everything in his presence.'”

“'Told again and again [by traditionalist evangelical leaders] that they are the dominant sex, created to rule over and have dominion over not just women but the earth, the land, its animals, and all things on earth — it’s often a rude awakening for young, White Christian men when they enter the world and find that most created things are not interested in being ruled over by them,' [Angela] Denker writes."

"To maintain this charade, they have brandished the Bible like a cudgel, bludgeoning poor people, people of color, the Indigenous, women, LGBTQ+ people, and others with tales of their supposed sinfulness meant to distract, demean, divide, and dispossess."

"The battle of theologies taking place right now is anything but a new phenomenon, even if it’s at an inflection point, with life-and-death consequences for our democracy, Christianity itself, and those who are God’s greatest concern."

"Our freak of the week is incel-fluffing testosterone-poisoned Andrew Tate. Andrew is our freak of the week because thanks apparently to the Trump administration, yesterday at dawn, a private jet whisked him out of Romania where he was facing rape and human trafficking charges and into our own beautiful state of Florida."

"Straight white male is an identity too, and the right pushes a hateful, regressive version of those identity politics, though no one blames straight white male identity politics for Republican losses. It was never 'he made her do it.' Those identity politics are rendered invisible or treated as beyond question. But I'm here to question them."

"Behind these stories is the assumption that some people matter more than other people, and that we who matter less have to pander to those who matter more – conservatives when they are imagined as straight, as white, as male, as rural, as salt of the earth, as the real Americans, unlike us ethnic/ immigrant/ urban/ non-male/ non-straight people."

"And in the same way the diverse population left of center is supposed to make nice to the right or be responsible for when the right goes wrong. These stories amount to 'the left was so annoying about pronouns or liberals made people feel so guilty about plastic straws they had no choice but to get on board with the second coming of the Third Reich and the destruction of the planet.'"

"It's also routine to blame the Democratic Party for what the Republican Party does. The two parties are unconsciously regarded as akin to a husband and wife in a traditional marriage in which it's the job of the wife to placate and soothe the husband and help him realize his goals or be held responsible for his outbursts and outrages."

"In mainstream discourse, it's become standard to blame the excesses of the right on liberals, the left, feminists, Black Lives Matter, affirmative action, environmental protection, and BIPOC and LGBTQ people. It's a way that the right is granted masculine prerogatives and the left feminine responsibilities for the right's behavior."

Francesca Fiorentini and Wajahat Ali note the timing of the Trump administration's drop of the Epstein files and suggest that the timing is not accidental: it was arranged to distract from Trump's freeing of sex trafficker Andrew Tate and his choice to fly Tate to the US.

"On Thursday, the Trump administration allowed social media influencers to travel to the US despite the fact that they have been accused of sex trafficking and rape."

"Trump has based his anti-immigration stance on the falsehood that immigrants are rapists and sexual predators. The right-wing media and Trump's supporters have fallen for that narrative completely. DOJ and ICE have commenced summary deportations of immigrants accused of crimes—without regard to their guilt or innocence."
