In addition to all the reasons this is dystopian for birthing people, this would be disastrous for infant health.
Folks who aren't sure about keeping the pregnancy would likely avoid prenatal care.
Which would be dangerous for the infant if they later chose to carry it to term.

Somehow the NYT manages to make even their eclipse coverage sound weirdly racist

Always, always remember that the primary goal of disinformation isn't to get you to believe lies you read.
The goal is to get you to stop trusting ANYTHING you read.
To create an atmosphere so confusing that you stop feeling like facts are discernable.
So you give up trying.

I cannot overstate what a terrifyingly big deal this is.
Here is a Tennessee MAGA mayoral candidate posing with a Nazi.
Not just any Nazi, but Sean Kaufmann.
The Nazi I watched sharing bombmaking plans in terror Telegram channels.
Receipts below.

Elon's "smart [white] people should make lots of babies" rhetoric is highly driven by white supremacist replacement theory and eugenics, and it's something he couples with intentional, aggressive reproduction.
The way he treats the actual labor behind production (aka women) should be a powerful lesson for any women tempted to play handmaiden to these types.

Practice contractions are super-fun because you're in pain and then you go to look up if it's normal or not and all the med sites are like "oh no they're painless, just like menstrual cramps"
Oh great right, famously painless menstrual cramps

@npub153s…cvd9 eat the rich, *and* also I always warn folks to be careful with "social parasite" language because it has been used so often by antisemites that it gives antisemitic vibes sometimes even when that is not intended

The most striking thing for me in the Farrow article about Musk is the repeated acknowledgment by government officials that they mostly just kiss his ass and let him break the law.
It illustrates very clearly that there are no rules for the rich-- thanks in large part to privatization.

He's going to get people killed with this.
You know what Nazis used to do in my Twitter replies before I started mass blocking?
They'd give my home address out to OTHER Nazis in my replies who had expressed an interest in murdering my family and me.

Nothing new under the sun, of course.
Complicit white women have always functioned as a cover and excuse for racist and fascist violence in this country.
They were the excuse that allowed lynching.

Now, Proud Boys can violently storm school board meetings under the guise of "protecting" these white women.
Moms for Liberty exists in large part to provide an excuse and cover for male fascist violence.

And, the fact that they are tight with Proud Boys should surprise no one.
The role of these white women isn't to lead, it's to provide cover for brownshirts and their tactics.

It makes it that much harder to combat them, because white patriarchy teaches us that white mothers are valuable assets that must be protected.
And sexism means they're less likely to get taken seriously. People incorrectly minimize the violent threat they pose.

M4L is the best and scariest example right now.
They are using the special privileges they get for having successfully reproduced whiteness, and leveraging them in service of extreme fascist goals.
People ignore that they're a hate group because, "moms."

We're really in a period of discernment for antifascists, I think.
So much of our work 2016-2021 was an effort to keep extreme fascism from crossing the line into the mainstream.
But from MTG to Moms for Liberty, it's happened. And it's all being whitewashed by white women.
