Things you need to stop asking adoptees, surrogacy concieved and donor concieved people: Would you rather have grown up poor in an orphanage? Would you rather not have been born? Did you not have a nice upbringing? But what should people do if they can't have children? 🥚

As a transracial adoptee raised by white jesus people in white jesuslandia, I have an answer to each of these questions. Those who favor adoption seldom like what I have to say. 🥚

So the immigrants who were given 7 days to leave the country? Many are my English students. Some work overnight and come to class the next morning. Others work in restaurant kitchens or as hotel cleaners. They work. They come to class. They follow the rules. And now we kick them out. #cruel

i do not think the mainstream press is equipped or capable of covering ideological white nationalists and eugenicists as such, or even capable of noting that this is what they are. it is related to the wide belief that racism is simply a matter of manners.

On a recent flight my seatmates learned I was a writer and asked my opinion on AI. They didn't understand genAI is based on work stolen from authors, and they DEFINITELY didn't know about the energy costs. Both shocked them. People just don't know.

Hernandez: Why is there always money to bomb children in Gaza, but not enough to make sure every kid has a safe place to sleep in this country. We don't have a budget crisis. We have a crisis of our values

Honestly the fact that neither Shapiro or Hagen mention eugenics in this is downright shameful. These people are eugenicists! You have multiple clips in here of them going over Eugenics 101!

This is bullshit—of course the US could apply diplomatic pressure to have him returned—but if it is allowed to stand, the executive branch has the power to disappear people permanently without any sort of due process. That in turn will be the end of all other constitutionally guaranteed rights.

This precisely what we mean when we say dismantling the public health infrastructure will lead to people dying. If you cannot respond to outbreaks or health crises, they become prolonged as do the direct consequences. These include worse health and death regardless of how you voted.

Innocent Black Americans are nearly eight times more likely to be convicted of murder than innocent white people and, across all crime categories, spend a much longer time unjustly incarcerated.

So we're going to spend money & time researching & advocating for better care for kids with measles (a preventable disease) instead of continuing to fund research for kids with cancer (unpreventable diseases of which many are incurable or rely on dated treatments that cause life-long harm). Got it.

By all means, yes, keep pouring money and time into this and don't worry at all about the lack of funding for research into childhood cancers or any other adverse childhood illnesses that are incurable and/or greatly impact the life expectancy of survivors. March on!

It’s not a coincidence that the same Americans who want to restore what’s history do not want Americans to learn about what’s history.

Dear state legislators: please change your laws so that adoptees can easily request a certified copy of their own state-issued adoption decree. It's insane that it takes a formal court petition to get a critical document--particularly to secure US citizenship. I'm tired of it.
