Hi, Gretchen, I am a birth mother who is deeply thankful for all you have done to shine a light on adoptees and birth mothers and fathers.

We birth mothers were also brainwashed to believe we didn’t have the right to search for the children we surrendered. This was not intended to protect us or our children. Secrecy was, and is, designed to protect adoptive parents and the adoption industry.

Nope. We were a post- war baby boom as returning service men and women began having (or adding to their) families.

During the Viet Nam War, National Guard troops fired live rounds at unarmed citizens at an anti-war protest at Kent State University.

I am old enough to remember an episode of the Marcus Welty tv show where the murdered nearly got a way with murdering his victim because he staged it as a driving accident, hitting him with his car.

Katie, this is a real loss at a particularly brutal time for us. Thank you for all you have done to keep us informed and well-armed. I will follow you wherever you go next! Shame on MSNBC!

Stalin is kvelling in his grave to see Trump also trying to rewrite history. Transgender folks led the way at Stonewall!

Repealing the VPPP eliminates the only applicable exception to the law which prohibits using tolls on federal aid highways for transit. Repealing the VPPP means the end of NYC’s congestion pricing program (unless Congress also rescinds the law prohibiting the use of tolls for transit).

Question: not all cars entering Manhattan in the de congestion zone have E-ZPass tags. Do the results include data from the system’s license plate readers as well?

Absolutely shocking! I literally did not think this would ever happen. More fool me.

Oh, Tony, all of us should do all we can so that children have the chance to be who they are, not who we want them to be.
