BREAKING: Federal Judge McConnell orders the Trump administration to provide full SNAP payments to states for November, finding that the administration did not comply with his order. Judge raises Trump's Truth social post as evidence that he intended to defy the order.

Trump yesterday: They have this new word called "affordability" and [Republicans] don't talk about it enough. Democrats did. Trump today: I don't want to hear about the affordability.

I want to give a shout-out to the Michigan Adoptee Rights Coalition. ..The organization is out there making itself be seen, working on legislation (getting closer to victory), tabling at community events, and overall giving Michigan adoptees a public bit.ly/47O0AsB

This is beyond grotesque.

Someone out there with real influence needs to start leading the charge on universal basic income, and preferably in a way that talks about finally distributing a fair share of the stock market.

The head of the nation's largest pro-adoption industry group, Ryan Hanlon, launches lies and misinformation to disparage mostly the people who are the most harmed by adoption: #Adoptees. The voices of adoptees are making a difference. Discount this garbage. Speak up. ifstudies.org/blog/beyond-...

Like a cult, adoption relies on unquestioned belief, emotional control, and the erasure of identity. It demands silence around grief and loss. But once the truth is revealed, the structure can be dismantled. 🥚 buff.ly/QiGjUCn

Excellent piece! "the cult of adoption ... is so well integrated into society that it passes unseen. The harm and trauma it causes is passed off as a failure of an individual adopted person to appreciate the benefits, rather than structural, judicial and legislative intent."

Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to our analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%. (Published February)

1) Until 3 yrs ago, I hadn't heard of the Baby Scoop nor adoptee fog. When I put my personal history up against current & historical data, I had my eyes opened. I'm remarkable only in that I am not remarkable. I'm just another stat in a system I'd never examined prior to the death of my parents.

#NAAM does not have the impact in Canada as it does in the largest adoption market on the planet. It still has legs though. The propaganda still exists.🥚

NAAM isn’t about awareness, it’s a state sponsored marketing campaign. Every November, the family policing system rebrands family separation as “love.” It’s time to tell the truth: adoption isn’t liberation. Abolition is. #adopteesky

Many economists and business leaders are raising alarms about falling birthrates. But advocates for lower human populations say a less crowded world will be happier and more sustainable. n.pr/47pRO3G

🥚 over the years i’ve seen countless variations on “i know people who are happy with being adopted” (tip: you have no idea how adoptees really feel because the stakes of honesty are so high, and we keep so much to ourselves). but calling someone “thrilled” with their adoption is honestly bonkers

love having trauma every day for an entire month bc my algorithm just force feeds me constant NAAM content bc i post a lot about adoption on most social media apps. anyway this is my family i think they seem awesome. 🥚

because the #adoption industry promotes itself during November, many adopted people find this time of year somewhat grim. in fact, yesterday was Adoptee Remembrance Day, when we mourn those lost to violence and suicide.

Erasing data for the sake of order falsifies the universe. Restoring data, even painful data, is to return to honesty. The insistence by #adoptees on open records isn't sentimentality. It's the pursuit of data integrity. Reality can't be ethical if it depends on the destruction of evidence. 🥚

🥚For all those adoptees punished in utero, whose carceral birth histories were hidden as they suffered innumerable harms and whose lives were cut short — may their truths be unearthed, their stories honored, and the silence end for those still unaware of their carceral beginnings.

Christianity Today is not my trusted source for any information about #AdopteeRights, but for what it's worth, they published this. Left out is a frank discussion of what we know has been documented in South Korea: "human trafficking." It's not just "fraud." www.christianitytoday.com/2025/10/sout...

my birth certificate (the real one, not the legally valid one) inscribes the adoption myth: they wrote “Baby Boy” in the Name field, as if i were a foundling in a basket and not born in a hospital, where my mother and aunt held me before i was taken away. 🥚

I’ve been thinking a lot about a new kind of polling I’d like to see. We have polling that measures public opinion, which is obviously important, but I’d love to see a little more empirical work on public knowledge: what do voters know about politics and policy?
