🧵One month since our Lottie went ahead of us. It feels unreal like a bad dream & having so many years ahead without her is daunting. God has been our rock & we remind ourselves & our twins daily that though it appears otherwise, the moon is always round & God is always good.
Dear @WhiteHouse, my name is Rodney Smith Jr., founder of Raising Men & Women Lawn Care Service in Huntsville, Alabama. Through our 50 Yard Challenge, over 6,000 kids across the country have signed up to mow free lawns for the elderly, disabled, veterans, active-duty military, first responders, and single parents. With America celebrating its 250th birthday this year and me also being born on July 4th, I wanted to humbly ask if a few kids from our program and myself could travel to Washington, D.C. to help mow the White House lawn for this historic celebration.
More than anything, I want these kids to see how a simple act of service something as ordinary as mowing a lawn for someone in need can lead to extraordinary places. What better lesson in community service than showing them that helping others can take them all the way to our nation’s capital? I’d also love to bring my American flag-themed mower in hopes that the President might sign it, so I can later auction it off and donate 100% of the proceeds to a nonprofit supporting veterans. It would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to highlight the importance of service, patriotism, and the impact young people can have when they choose to make a difference. 🇺🇸
In a world that destroys children with Down syndrome, listen to this brave girl:
“You can try to kill off everyone with Down syndrome by using abortion, but you won’t be any closer to a perfect society. You will just be closer to a cruel, heartless one."
Charlotte Helene Fien speaks before the United Nations
Absolutely the most diabolical, heartbreaking thing I’ve read in a very long time.
Iron Will is asleep right now. So I’m going to kiss his beautiful little forehead and quietly promise him - yet again - that I will fight to my last breath for him and every person with Down syndrome from the moment of conception forward.
That I will never relent in pushing back against the utterly depraved mentality that dehumanizes him and deems him as less, as unworthy of life.
And then I will pray. For the little baby lost, for this broken, broken world and for redemption.
Join me.

@JennMGreenberg Yeah I’ve taught my daughters to very clearly thank boys when they hold the door because inevitably I know some girls will chew them out for that so we better help the ratio lol

So many young women tell me they fear the risks of childbirth and that a child will "harm" their lives. It’s time for the truth:
Becoming a mother is one of the hardest yet most rewarding things a woman can do. Children bring joy, motivation, and hope for a better future. We should celebrate, not demonize, the miracle of motherhood.
1/ #GayMarriage destroys every facet of the natural family.
What is the natural family?
A man and a woman make a baby.
That means:
- A mother and a father in the home
- Biological parent/child connection
- Two adults
- Children generally spaced out
- Adults of childbearing age
Those are intractable biological realities. 🧵
