In honor of Black History Month, we’re celebrating trailblazers from across NJ-07 whose talent and impact changed the world. Today, we’re highlighting Whitney Houston, a once-in-a-generation voice who broke barriers and set a new standard in music.

Mandatory reporting is framed as safety. In practice, it often functions as surveillance. This post breaks down why that matters. #adopteesky

Note that the "parents" are white and the five children Black. @notalegalrecord.net @donnagratehouse.bsky.social

To adoptees who care, this was posted on Tuesday, Feb. 10, by the Adoptee Rights Campaign. This is an outrage that the crimes of this administration is adding on the injustices of intercountry adoption. We know only #Adoptees will speak up. Please do, adoptees! www.facebook.com/citizenshipf...

Call to action from Adoptee Rights Campaign! One of my dear friends and Iranian adoptee sisters is in removal proceedings by DHS to be deported. Please reach out to your congressional/senate representatives, and any other sources, who may be helpful in stopping this madness! 🥚 #adopteesky

🚨Buckle up!🚨 Poland is investigating potential connections between Jeffrey Epstein and Polish victims, as well as possible involvement of Russian intelligence in his activities. The Polish government has set up a special task force.

the biggest lie about #adoption is that it is designed to protect the interests, needs, and rights of children.

If you were boosting trash like the NYTimes piece about how “Joy is not a strategy” during the campaign you don’t need to speak this week.

loved every second of Bad Bunny. That message of inclusion and a celebration of cultures like Puerto Rico’s is just what America needs right now. Plus, his music just gets you in motion. 10/10

Random thought about the Superbowl ad: It's not lost on me that the pregnant protagonist in it is a white woman. 🥚 #adoption #BabyScoopEra

Deadline for submitting a case to the Korean Truth and Reconcilliation Commission is 20 Feb. See details here (alt txt). There are also online info meetings today and tomorrow (bit late I know). Remember, you can also submit as a relative to a KAD. #adoption #SouthKorea #TRC 🥚

Every damaged and disgusting person in the world is associated with Epstein and Donald Trump. lamag.com/news/doj-ema...

I have so many things I need to do, but all I really want to do is stay in bed. A memoir.

💯 "Reproductive justice means the right to: Have a child Not have a child Raise children in safe, supported communities Abolition demands that we stop treating temporary hardship as justification for permanent separation." 🥚 #adoption

It's important for media outlets and universities to have intellectual diversity, including both people who feel bad for Jeffrey Epstein's victims and people who feel bad for Jeffrey Epstein's associates. Don't be biased.

Hazel knows she has pretty privilege but that's your problem. Jealousy is a disease! #dogsofbluesky

Benedict Bridgerton is the worst

well here's one news story about the thing I've been obsessively tweeting about for days (gift link) www.nytimes.com/2026/02/04/u...

If many people hold a left-wing opinion they are a mob and should be ignored; if few people hold a left wing opinion they are fringe and should be ignored. The substance or correctness of the opinion is irrelevant. This is the reactionary centrist credo bsky.app/profile/eliv...

Presented without comment. I just want everyone here to know. I want you to know what you're looking at the next time you see this guy being interviewed or RTed by an Abundance bro. 1/8

This is heartbreaking and it's still happening. Remove the entire trump administration now.

NEW: EXCLUSIVE: Epstein files tipster tells me about her friend who was trafficked from Trump's modeling agency to Epstein. She sat for a formal interview with the FBI, but her 302 is MISSING from the release of the files. I'll show you what I have in 20 minutes: www.youtube.com/live/xiSmcNV...

/6 No, when society tells you to shun someone, be SKEPTICAL. Like Noam Chomsky. Noam Chomsky KNEW that it’s the dark forces of American imperialism that don’t want him to listen to a famous child rapist teach him about black people being inferior.

Academics vying for a spot in Epstein‘s world. There are so many. I feel the need to make a thread, so I don’t keep confusing them. 1/

Remember, when Dems lose, it’s because they didn’t reach out to Republicans enough, and when they win, the FIRST thing they have to do is reach out to Republicans.

Democrats do have power, of course, technically, but the same cultural forces that genderize the parties really discourage Dems from **using** their power in any kind of direct way.

And I believe a lot of this comes from the genderizing of the parties: Republicans are the evil, abusive, patriarchal Daddy and the Democrats are the Mommy, inescapably wed to Daddy, tasked with ameliorating his evils, but not given any real power to do that.

In 2024 the media went completely mask off about that, just nakedly all in on Trump, even though they still use a lot of balancer rhetorical techniques to do it, very strange.

But I think the number one reason this happens is the media. Since the 1990s, mainstream media has been very Republican-friendly, doing the balancer thing to tip the scales toward Republicans in every way they could without making it seem ***too*** much like partisan boosterism.

It should not take a court order to get a toddler out of a prison.

I keep thinking again, in light of the latest Epstein files dump, about how MeToo “went too far.”

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

I don't know, Heritage Foundation-tied publication, maybe white liberal women are mad because a federal immigration official shot and killed one of them. And then called her a "bitch"? You know, on camera? www.dailysignal.com/2026/01/27/w...

Was Alex’s Pretti’s killing a targeted and premeditated first degree murder? www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2026/01/was-...

I wrote this yesterday about the hero city of Minneapolis www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKOW...

This piece is so good! I attached some of my favorite excerpts, but read the whole thing! As an aside that people have settled on "they caught wokism from you" instead of considering whether they had a blinkered view of "free speech" the whole time is infuriating!

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

Still waiting on anything taking this dumb shit back. And actual blame assignment towards the Republicans controlling everything & their mostly white voters & enablers.

ICE is executing protesters the right way. by Ezra Klein

Legendary Grammy Award-winning opera singer Renée Fleming has also withdrawn from performing at the Kennedy Center following the orange felon’s destruction of the arts, controversial directives and adding his disgusting name to the JFK memorial. Love this. 💙

Protester in Minneapolis just before disappearing in gas: "Fuck you! Stop. Damn! I'm 70 years old and I'm fuckin' angry!"

The suppression of a story that was both very juicy gossip AND of massive substantive importance (the country's most prominent anti-vaxxer ingratiating himself into Secretary of HHS!) shows that whatever causes the issues with campaign coverage it's not "clickbait" www.telos.news/p/part-9-cov...

Ancient pagan brothels? Okay now do Residential Schools and Magdalene Laundries.

Three years ago, our Monterey Park community was forever changed. Today, we honor the lives we lost and hold their memories close. youtu.be/GD3CSa7-Rn0?...
