🚨 @ErinFriday75490 and I share agonizing stories of families like SOTU guests Michele and Sage, destroyed by ideologically-captured child welfare systems meant to protect them. President Trump is right--it is crazy and must be banned. 🧵1/5

His name is Taufa’ase’e Tei, and he calls himself "Trixie"

[Gays Against Groomers @againstgrmrs]

Just disgusting. Any parent who brings their children to pride really needs to be investigated by CPS.

It is not and never will be for kids as long as this degeneracy and open display of kink and sex is tolerated.

How is there any “pride” in this?? All we feel is shame.

[Billboard Chris 🌎 @BillboardChris]

I was detained by Spanish police for two hours today in Madrid.

Taken to the police station, fingerprinted, treated like a criminal because I showed up at the public square to have peaceful conversations about how children are being harmed.

Spain has done nothing to stop giving kids puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones.

While sitting at the station with criminals in handcuffs, I was able to contact @lukomski_sebito at @hazteoir using my Apple Watch, after my phones had been taken.

These two beautiful lawyers dropped everything and showed up at the police station soon after.

Now we’re back in the same public square. at Puerta del Sol.

To the political authorities in Spain — please start protecting children in your magnificent country from this unscientific craze which is sterilizing children and causing grievous, irreversible harm.

@NoVA_Campaigns @vademocrats @GovernorVA We were told taxpayer money should be spent on feeding children.

[Laura Powell @LauraPowellEsq]

Acquiescing to wearing their symbols is not enough. You are also required to refrain from visible expression of your own religion. This is a dangerous totalitarian ideology.

[Visions 🇺🇸 🇩🇿 @yVisionssss]

The audacity some Americans have to act like they are living through hell here. Truly blessed I have these freedoms everyday.

[Erin Friday, Esq. @ErinFriday75490]

Censorship continues unabated in California. Ironically I was not permitted to speak on at a hearing on the censorship bill SB934 that stifles speech of mental health providers. Here is what I would have said had @Ash_Kalra permitted me to speak.
If SB934 is enacted, mental health providers risk termination, will lose their licenses if the patient is a minor, and will be subjected to compensatory and emotional distress damages, punitive damages, and attorney’s fees, if they dare try to cure gender dysphoria by re-aligning a client’s internal sense of sense to his body. This bill is coming to every blue state. 🧵 It's a long one. Read to the end for the plot twist. @elonmusk @megynkelly @LeorSapir @HarmeetKDhillon @ADFLegal @IngrahamAngle @LauraPowellEsq @SwipeWright

[Tennessee Principled Physicians @TNPrincipledMDs]

Tennessee Physician group here. We don't rest on opinions - we follow the actual medical literature. Robust evidence from multiple systematic reviews (that you seem to willfully ignore) show gender interventions harm mental and physical health at any age.

Nothing "insane" about actually knowing the data. Patients deserve evidence-based care, not ideology.

[Meg Brock @MegEBrock]

This data isn’t just shocking—it has real, devastating consequences for kids and families.

Last week, @realDailyWire published this story about an Oregon mom who lost custody of her child for refusing to affirm her transgender identity.

[Mollie @MZHemingway]

Wait, are you telling me that the NYT’s Jodi Kantor is a hack partisan activist and not a real journalist? I’m learning this for the first time.

Austin Metcalf is dead.

Let’s stop dancing around the obvious.

Austin Metcalf received the death penalty.

Karmelo Anthony received 35 years.

One of them lives.
One of them gets a gravestone.

Save the faux outrage.

The real victim in this case is NOT the convicted killer.

The real victim is the young man who will never come home again and the family that will spend the rest of their lives grieving a loss that can never be undone.

This was a track meet.

A place for competition, teamwork, and sportsmanship.

NOT violence.
NOT murder.

And spare us the racial narratives.

Murder is wrong regardless of the race of the victim or the perpetrator. Any decent society should be able to agree on that.

Austin Metcalf lost everything.

His family got a life sentence of grief.

And while some are busy turning this tragedy into a racial debate, the Metcalf family is looking at the empty chair at the dinner table and remembering who actually paid the highest price.

Austin Metcalf got the death penalty.

Never forget that.

[Jennifer Sey @JenniferSey]

He shoved his fingers through her spandex, digitally penetrating her.

The victim shouted to her mom that his fingers were inside her "c**chie."

This is so disturbing. She's a 15-year-old girl & this young man assaulted her in public in a wrestling match.

[Allie Beth Stuckey @conservmillen]

I really wanted to believe the group defending Karmelo was a limited fringe of radicals. But the show of mainstream support and utter delusion from many black politicians, celebrities & activists quickly dashed that hope. It’s one thing when we’re talking about a black person who was killed - you can at least understand sympathy for George Floyd or Michael Brown, even if the facts are disputed. But we are talking about an undisputed murderer. To defend him, one has to be so far outside of reality and the realm of moral truth that they can no longer tell up from down. It’s so extremely dangerous for people who think this way to have any say whatsoever in matters of law and justice.

The Utah review is the most important topic to understand right now- this is the conversation to listen to today

[Leor Sapir @LeorSapir]

@SwipeWright @segm_ebm @CityJournal The authors called their report a "systematic review" despite openly acknowledging that they skipped over the most fundamental aspect of such a review: a formal synthesis of evidence.

And that was just one of many problems.

[Colin Wright @SwipeWright]

@LeorSapir @segm_ebm @CityJournal But their review self-identified as a systematic review.
