Even the "most pro-life President ever" doesn't care about the citizenship of the unborn. All this performative heroism about protecting innocent fetuses and not ONE person has ever suggested we change the Constitution to read "conceived or naturalized."

The entire "pro-life" philosophy reveals itself in the ease with which they consign a "baby" to someone who never intended to make one. Babies need very specific, skilled care from responsible people. They are not a surprise to be left in someone's mailbox during the night.

We don’t need government to be run like a business. We need it to be run like a home.

I was raised in the eye of the storm that is American Evangelicalism. I have been threatened with The Second Coming, The Rapture, The End Times, The Last Days, and The Tribulation since I was a toddler. I know what we're dealing with. A thread: 1/16

If half the people who call themselves PRO-LIFE gave a shit about protecting babies, our entire society would be different. The American pro-life movement is really just a pro-force movement.

I propose a reality show called FAFO, in which fools who believe people cruise through life on "handouts" must navigate the world of means-tested social benefit programs. There'd be tears before the opening credits finished rolling. They have no idea.

The outrage at Chappell Roan is so predictably American. We talk about care as a noble calling while effectively treating it as worthless. We present a rosy image of family life but resent providing any kind of meaningful practical support to families. 1/3

However, that doesn't mean we have no choice but to lose our democracy. We are a very large country, and they are a small, heavily overextended group of people who aren't smart and don't have experience running a gigantic bureaucracy. The key is to keep them facing opposition on thousands of fronts

So the FBI could surveil & then assassinate a 21 year old Civil Rights leader in 1969, but is powerless to take any steps to stop--checks notes--a 19 year old who goes by the name Big Balls from defunding and defrauding a $6 Trillion economy? Do I have that right?

So many men have blindly accepted that they must spend their precious lives cosplaying Masculine Leadership and that they need women and girls as accessories for their Man costume. This is called enacting a living death and I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

Lotta people voted for Trump assuming it wouldn't impact their relationships with normal people. Then when their normies chose to pull away, the Trumpies were all, "How could you let politics come between us?!" And normies were all, "If politics matter less than family, why did you vote for him?" ??

Whining about people opting out of parenthood? Try removing its barriers. Universal healthcare, childcare, and housing, free college for parents, and more research on women's health. A GI Bill - but for making babies. It would work. If you live in the real world, you already know this.

Most of us never get a chance at a coveted position in a competitive industry even if we spend our lives pursuing it. The world is full of talented people who haven't had an opportunity to shine. So there's absolutely no reason to restore a sex offender to a position that thousands are in line for.

Victims have no obligation to their attacker. The onus for making it right is entirely on the person who violated another person's rights. The path to redemption is as slow and arduous as the path to recovery from inflicted trauma.
