BREAKING: After we sued, DHS withdrew a subpoena seeking personal information about our client who criticized DHS' treatment of a man seeking asylum. This is a win not just for our client, but for everyone’s First Amendment right to speak out without fear of government retaliation.

"Yes. We did step on our own dicks. Why do you ask?" Peter Navarro

that this regularly happens with intercountry #adoption in the United States—the most ravenous consumer of other countries’ children—and that the US has not ratified the international convention enshrining the rights of children: not a coincidence.

To my DC followers: I am driving into DC and looking to park somewhere near Petworth so I can hitch a ride with a friend to a concert tomorrow. Anybody know if the parking garages are trustworthy near Petworth? Specifically the 24-hour ones?

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

My Iranian adoptee friend who is in the removal process by DHS is the anonymous adoptee in this story. Her fears have come true. 🥚💔 www.bbc.com/news/article...

When you get visited by three Puerto Rican ghosts

History shows that when children are transferred—through placing-out or adoption—abuse follows. Orphan Trains, British Home Children, Convict Orphans… what about kids of incarcerated women in Canada? No one has studied this. Hidden history!!🥚 www.allenandunwin.com/browse/book/...

And water is wet

The 2024 Adoptee Citizenship Act has become the 2025 US HR5492 PAAF (Protect Adoptees and American Families). This bill "aims to provide automatic United States citizenship to certain internationally adopted individuals who were not previously granted citizenship." 1/3

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. You want domestic trafficking of infants for sale? Here is your pipeline for that. 🥚 people.com/newborn-safe...

This is more common than the kept think.

international adoption and immigration are linked and poorly understood by people outside of those circles this is traumatic to in soany levels and it's likely to increase under this regime

My stomach just sank realizing the ramifications of this. If her removal is approved, she'll go back to a country, a language, and a world she's never lived in. She never learned Farsi. She's American! This is what international adoptees face. Pass the Adoptee Citizenship Act!!

Adoption -- the promise of a *different* (not Better) life... Pass the Adoptee Citizenship Act! 🥚

Listen to intercountry #adoptees, who for years have been telling us about the abject powerlessness and dependence of being adopted, and who have been warning us about the capriciousness with which the state judges who counts as “belonging” to this country.

Just found out a friend of mine, an Iranian adoptee, has been given notice by DHS to report to court to justify her stay in the states. She's lived here all her life, but her parents never finalized her citizenship, so she's targeted. I hate this country. Pass the Adoptee Citizenship Act! 🥚🤬🤬

Adopted from a Nagpur orphanage in 1985 and now the mayor of Heemstede in the Netherlands, Falgun returned to India after four decades searching for his birth mother, reflecting the lifelong questions many adoptees carry about identity even after building full and successful lives. buff.ly/heE1ArJ 🥚

*in no sense* do people regard relinquishing their child as an “alternative” to terminating a pregnancy they do not want to carry to term. it’s not even a “second choice.” it doesn’t fucking RATE. 🥚

🚨🚨🚨 HOLY SHIT: This powerful PSA from the Epstein Survivors will air during the #SuperBowl

Don't give Drumpf any ideas. He may want to conquer South America to Make America Grande Again.

Adoption isn't an alternative to being pregnant. If you don't want to be pregnant, continuing a pregnancy so you can give you kid away to strangers means staying pregnant. You don't owe some childless couple your literal labour or a human being. 🥚

Talk about getting owned. 'Murica in one post

The only landmark I want to see renamed is Rikers Island to Trump Island. There he can live in solitary...I mean solitude.

BREAKING: The Epstein survivors are releasing this ad on this Super Bowl Sunday to send the message that they will not “move on” from the largest sex trafficking scandal in the world. #standwithsurvivors

it’s superb owl day. maybe this ad will run in your market.

This is nothing short of ethnic cleansing, as official policy, regardless of law and the Constitution. The ruling party, along with everyone in this administration coordinating these crimes, is 100 percent complicit in these actions--100 percent! www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Drumpf wants his name on Penn Station and Dulles Airport? I remember a time when luminaries died before having their names honored on transportation hubs.

"The White House had defended it" is just bonkers. But we know why

Yep. My earliest photo was in the orphanage at about 7 years old. No infant or toddler pics.

I listen to a lot of pods by adopted people and it's always gutting when I hear an interviewee say that their parents loved them, they had a wonderful childhood, and then proceed to detail a laundry list of mental and emotional abuse rooted in the secrecy and silence they were forced to endure
