I wonder, New York Times, if it’s because you and all your fascist journalist friends went out of your way to make sure the Nazis are in power? I wonder if that could have anything to do with it?
Schools aren't safe, food security is becoming rare, education system is losing resources to help kids with special needs, support for Moms is where?... Yeah I can see why.
Let’s see.
*Medical bills
*Unaffordable daycare
*The “mommy track”
*lack of family leave
*Rising cost of living
*Lack of extended family support
*And all those other things like no sleep, illness, post natal depression
They were working that way back in 2012. Fetal personhood works better when the mother is deemed incapable of raising the infant and an ad litem with an agenda is appointed .
“Mental health declines occurred broadly across socioeconomic subgroups…self-reported physical and mental health status was significantly lower among mothers who were US born, single parents, less educated, and those with publicly insured or uninsured children.”

It will continue to decline over the balance of this freaks term. Nothing he has done sofar is in support of a mother's mental health. I dont anticipate improvement. Cutting housing assistance, nutrition programs 4 families, & education. Stand by.
We really couldn't even recover during that time because the orange ghoul NEVER went away. After Jan 6th, seeing him escape any culpability for everything he did to overturn the election, we KNEW he would be back.
EU has had 4 weeks paid vacation since 1992. What’s the Dem policy on taxpayers getting paid vacation when they pay for members of congress to have paid vacation?
Hey asshat. In 2008 and 2016 HILLARY CLINTON supported full paid family leave. Yet the goddamn idiot voters like yourself didn't think she was progressive enough to be elected so you can take your fake outrage and perfection bullshit elsewhere.
In 1968 Dems proposed free childcare, Nixon vetoed.
Does the EU have a two party system where one preaches fiscal austerity but creates deficits to give tax cuts to the wealthy? Does the EU have a party that votes against and is actively undoing benefits and services for citizens? No, it doesn’t. REPUBLICANS are why we don’t have those benefits ffs.
The reason the US has Trump is because voters are pissed that they don’t have basic work/life benefits such as affordable healthcare, childcare, housing or higher ed.
And if those same voters actually took the time to educate themselves instead of relying spoon feeding them b we might get somewhere. Dems have pushed for all of for decades we're no further along because Republicans keep vetoing this crap. Democrats run on this every single goddamn election.
It was a footnote in her campaign. The bulk of her speeches were about Trump being unfit. She campaigned more with Liz Cheney than she did on paid family leave.
Basic work/life benefits should have been foundation of her campaign. They weren’t.
If you’re relying on voters to read a platform, you’ve already lost them. The platform should be simple words:
Universal healthcare/public option
Paid family leave & vacation
Subsidized child/elder care
U pre-k
School meals
Same benefits that civilian DoD employees & families get.
I do.
Too expensive. Dems fought more for abortion rights (people who don’t want to have kids) than they did for paid leave, U pre-k, childcare, school meals or free instate tuition.
If she did, it would have been the hallmark of her campaign.
Dems became the party of “access” to unaffordable healthcare, programs & services.
The wealthy donors oppose universal healthcare and her integrity was for sale.
Gee, I wonder why. In a country that actively criminalizes miscarriages, offers no support before, during or after birth and then condemns anyone that needs help. It's all, of course, very "pro-life" when it's really just "pro-birth."
The mental health of everyone on the planet declined significantly in the same period I imagine. So who was elected President of the US in 2016 I wonder?
And America makes it unnecessarily difficult for these mothers to get any kind of mental health care, a sense of community, career security, nutrition support and equity, then bashes her as a bad mom when baby is crying and she’s been awake for 20 hours straight.
What’s sad is that some people are so quick to attribute every negative development to this or that generation’s selfish motives without following the money or considering larger cultural themes. Being cynical and projecting their darker impulses on millions of people really puts blinders on them.
Sure. Women don’t experience discrimination in the workplace or domestic violence. Women don’t carry the bulk of child raising duties in most families. Men always pay their child support.

I can't stress this enough: we must call them directly. Until they recognize our voice and enjoy talking to us. Also, make sure to email them. Ask for impeachment.

Only 4 states have U pre-k & 8 offer school meals.
It's not just MAGA. D's gave up on working class families long ago.
Universal healthcare, paid family leave, subsidized childcare, U pre-k, school meals & free instate tuition should have been their war cry instead of Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump.
Yes. Oklahoma & Florida have U pre-k. So does VT, DC, CA & CO. New York does not (costs too much for the 10th largest economy on the planet that refuses to raise taxes on the wealthy).
That was surprising until looking into it, both Florida and OK have had that since 2002 and 1998 respectively. The constitutional amendment Florida passed in 2002 led to a campaign in 2006 to make constitutional amendments needing 60% to pass versus the 50%+1 it was prior.
Are you telling me that I should trust what the government is telling us? I don’t believe anything that you or this government states any longer. Your credibility is in the shitter.
@chuckschumer.com @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social Folks have been waiting terrified for months & u want to send a "strongly worded letter".Thats not enough. We want u to fight. Theyre ripping up the constitution,& if ur not going to fight, then step aside for someone who will
Nope. Republicans are controlled by white male scum and supported by idiot white women who like to bully others. That’s all they are. Scum and bullies. If they were decent people then they’d dump the GOP party and register as independents.
Can you blame us? Mothers selflessly spend 90% of their physical and emotional being raising good human beings. For 9 years maga & tRump have taken a sledgehammer to morals and decency; tearing at the very fibers of dignity and humanity! It takes a toll.....
Might be due to the abandonment of public health in a pandemic. Hard to feel optimistic when you’re grieving the future your child could have had and working out how to deal with pre-Victorian standards of healthcare. Much of which your paper has had a hand in causing
The GOP will work to spin this NYT story. In Project 2025 they specifically talk about creating propaganda regarding the psychological benefits to pregnancy and birth for mothers.
But soon they will ban one of the safest medications, thats widely used, Mifepristone. They will do this using a non peer reviewed and fake study claiming its dangerous. This will surely help.
MAGA #GOP want women to have more babies. Do they care about women’s mental health or consider the ramifications on children when their moms are depressed or unstable?

Maternal mental health is critical for the child.

No one else after realizing our entire country is just a shitty FOX News reality show?
Instead of campaigning on universal healthcare, paid family leave, U pre-k, childcare & school meals they campaigned on Trump being an idiot.

Apparently you were ignoring everything she actually said.
Typical
What’s “partial”?
In 1968 Dems proposed free childcare, Nixon vetoed.
There’s no reason taxpayers shouldn’t get the same 100% taxpayer funded work/life benefits than civilian DoD employees & their families get.
Where D’s on paid vacation?
Basic work/life benefits should have been foundation of her campaign. They weren’t.
Also, jackass, word salad? Have you listened to Trump? Wtf ever.. purity politics will destroy this country.
Universal healthcare/public option

..after GenX everyone got weak
i'd like to blame the internet but actually it was all the Young Boomers getting Divorced when it became 'hip' in the 80's
kids of Single Parents develop Trauma responses & fucked up views on Relationships
Careful who you have Kids with. Stick Together.
In 1981, (year my parents split) median home price was under $60k. Median HH income was $19k. 3x.
Today, median home price: 417k. Median HH income: 82k. 5x.
All generations have stress.. in the 80's Divorce got Trendy
On Top of the excuses you listed, people got divorced for no real reason at all, and without understanding what it does to kids
California started the "no fault divorce" thing in 1970 and Lawyers lined up to get rich off it
