Ground beef is up 11%. Coffee is up 14%. Rent is up.
And thanks to Trump's tariffs, American families are spending over $1,700 more this year—that is a heck of a lot of money when folks are struggling to pay bills.
Trump has no plan to fix any of this and is only making it worse.

plenary #adoption, the total legal severance of a child from their entire family and the sealing and “amending” of their vital records—will not “always be needed” because it did not even exist barely more than a century ago. the claim that it will “always be needed” is historically illiterate.
Adoptees who are critical of the system have helped improve the process, over the decades. On social media, nuance tends to get drowned out, but I hear them. No matter what, no matter how bitter some of them are here, adoption will always be needed, and improvement will also be needed, too.

Got a fundraising text from someone in Florida comparing themselves to Mamdani. 😡. Go ask Republicans for money; that's likely where it's coming from anyway.

children constitute a crucially important test case for the thesis that powerless people have rights too, and liberals’ track record is far from perfect.
it’s not lost on #adopted people that the ACLU is deliberately silent on whether we have a right to know our own identities.

i remember when liberals were decrying the language of “the domestic infant supply” in the Dobbs decision, as if this were evil language concocted by right-wingers. in fact, it’s a perfectly accurate socioeconomic description of the function of the adoption marketplace they too participate in.
abolishing the private #adoption industry and ending the legal practice of plenary adoption—the irreversible rewriting of a child’s legal identity and falsification of their natal kinship relations—does *not* mean abolishing long-term custodial care for a child who needs it. +
