Lots of folks, rightfully, calling out the "here's the happy murderer and his victims" nature of the lead photo. Meanwhile, me, an AsAm #adoptee is just processing how the story opens... 🥚
Roughly a week before she was killed along with her six children, Amanda Karolkiewicz of Grand Haven Township posted TikTok videos of a trip she took to China earlier this month with her two daughters, sharing photos of her with her girls dressed up in traditional Chinese clothing and trying different cuisine.

Her daughters, Ella and Caroline, both 11 and adopted from China, appear with her smiling, their hair, clothing and makeup all done in a Hanfu style.

"What an awesome experience with my precious daughters," she wrote along with one video, posted on July 16. "We are so proud of their Chinese heritage."

What secret have you learned later in life about yourself as an #adoptee? I had no idea I was in foster care for the first month of my life. Didn't know I was in the ICU for a week either. Of course I never knew my birth story until I met with my first mother when I was 48. What about you? 🥚

The right-wing attack on birthright citizenship is not just about birthright citizenship itself. As MAGA’s reaction to the Supreme Court ruling proves, it is part of their opposition to a broader ideal, that “All men are created equal.” www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
Elsewhere, less tactful conservatives expressed directly what the dissenting justices chose to do in euphemism. Stephen Miller, who runs immigration policy for the Trump administration, told Fox News that “we have people from all over the world, from third-world nations, nations that on their own would have never invented the wheel, let alone modern technology, let alone medicine, let alone air travel.” He went on: “They can just come into the country, have a baby at a hospital paid for by you and me, and then that baby is automatically a citizen? That baby can sit on a jury when he turns 18 and sit in judgment of you and sit in judgment of me and sit in judgment of our loved ones? Can decide who our mayors are? Our governors are? Our presidents are?” Miller’s long-standing view is that what ruined America was the repeal of eugenics-inspired immigration restrictions that had banned immigration from Asia and Africa and from nations in Europe deemed to be composed of lesser white races.

There is very little difference between Miller’s position—if you come from a “Third World nation,” you are inferior—and that of antebellum Democrats and the opponents of the Fourteenth Amendment at the time it was adopted: American citizenship is degraded by having to share it with the biologically inferior. The justices are elite lawyers with the ability to obfuscate this project and ignore its aims, but the rest of us need not pretend. To put it bluntly, Miller’s objection, as articulated here, is not to birthright citizenship. It is to the idea that “all men are created equal.”

#adoption is not and has never been about "the best interests of the child." It is and has always been about redistributing the privileges of parenthood in accordance with racist and classist notions of fitness and desert.

liberals profess shock at the phrase “domestic infant supply” because to take it literally is to accept that the USA operates a market in children. Plenary #adoption was codified a century ago, with a cascading series of legal changes in every state over a 20-year period, to legitimize that market.
