Absolutely
Rebecca, the author, is clearly still so conflicted and has really yet to process it all. I feel for her but tbh she needs someone to talk to.

Yeah…all the secrecy
What strikes me is also the shame, the shame over infertility and fragility, esp of the father, over his infertility. How much shame drives the dynamics.
How the daughter perpetuates the secrecy. How she initiates discovery and then blames the bio father for disruption.

Anyone want to discuss this article? It is a lot - truly a lot.

This is outrageous, and it occurs to many more adoptees than you will ever hear about. It was the responsibility of her adoptive father to get her US citizenship (he brought hervto the US in a tourist viss) & he didn't. So much for another 'savoir' adoptive parent.

#tdih 1942 Executive Order 9066

President Roosevelt authorized WWII incarceration (internment) of U.S. citizens of Japanese descent.

About 122,000 people sent to prison camps.

Many of their homes, businesses, and farms were confiscated.

"Denying women the vote, making it harder for them to vote, all suits the agenda of a movement interested in White Christian domination of the public sphere and total male control of the private sphere."

Illuminating @aselrod.bsky.social linking SAVE Act to broader MAGA male supremacy ethos:

So good

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

ICE plans to spend $38.3 billion turning warehouses into detention centers ICE plans to spend $38.3 billion converting warehouses into detention centers, according to planning documents, more than the annual budgets of 22 states.

Imagine if even a fraction of what this administration plans to spend on cages went toward housing people.

Trump's Nazi movement isn't temporary.
They're going to fight hard to stay in power.
The Pam Bondis and Stephen Millers and Mike Johnsons aren't going to walk away because Trump is gone.
They will replace Trump and keep fighting for power.
The world leaders understand that there is a cancer in U.S.

Ragnar Blackwolf • 23h Hypothetically if someone was accused of having sex with goats by over 30 different people and regularly denied it, but also dropped very public hints about how much he liked to have sex with goats for decades, and ran a goat pageant to find the best looking goats, and was best friends with someone who got convicted of fucking goats and trafficking goats to friends all over the world who also liked to fuck goats, and his name was in the classified goat fucker chronicles 5,000 times, and he wished other goat fuckers well in prison, what do you think the odds are that person is also a goat fucker?

YouTube video by MS NOW Steele: Trump thought Americans would accept his racist post

Vital, necessary viewing

I really hope MSNOW makes the video of the panel discussion that @michaelsteele.bsky.social had with @esglaude.bsky.social & @janainelson.bsky.social while sitting in for @briefingwithpsaki.bsky.social last night available, too. Necessary & vital.

Every American needs to watch this:

Racism is not an unknowable disease of the heart, it's a provable set of actions and responses. That's why the @nytimes.com can't handle. For them to admit that Trump is racist would mean they'd have to admit they been carrying the water for a racist all these years. They won't ever do that.

Newborn Safely Surrendered in Ohio Baby Box, Founder Thanks Parent for a 'Brave and Loving' Choice Safe Haven Baby Boxes says a newborn was safely surrendered in Ohio and is now in the care of child services.

we have NO FUCKING IDEA why this baby was left in this box, because baby boxes are designed to eliminate all possibility of oversight, documentation, and accountability.

black power salute olympics

for donald trump's sake i hope nobody brings up politics at the olympics, an infamously politics-free zone

Name them
shame them

If you want to FINALLY watch Scott Bessent get pinned down on specifics about the illegal money laundering operation being conducted by the Trump admin from someone who knows WTF he’s talking about, this clip is your chance. Bessent gets destroyed.

The arrest of @donlemonofficial.bsky.social and Georgia Fort is an outrageous assault on the 1st Amendment and all our freedoms.

They and the protesters they were covering are being persecuted by a dangerous and lawless Trump Admin for defending all of our rights.

Demand their freedom. Enough.

Trump Is Still Obsessed with Stealing Elections The FBI’s seizure of Georgia ballots is as much about future elections as past ones.

The harping about 2020 was never about the past. It was and is about the future: using a lie about a "stolen election" to actually steal elections.

Nearly half a billion dollars went to federal troop deployments in U.S. cities in 2025.

That's $93 million a month.

And we’re supposed to believe there’s no money for health care, schools, or housing?

When “The Boss” sings a protest song, America pays attention #Minneapolis

YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Trump Holds 2-Hour Meeting With Noem Amid Backlash to Minneapolis Shooting

Stephen Miller wasn't in the meeting, but the comms team was. This tells you this isn't a policy shift, it was just a meeting to figure out how to sell the bullshit better. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/26/us/noem-trump-meeting-minneapolis-ice.html

"ICE will leave Minnesota if you hand over your voter rolls" tells you everything you need to know.

This was never about immigration or fraud. It was always about rigging elections.
