This victory for Vermont's adoptees also belongs to all advocates nationwide who rallied in support of #H629. This is for all of us. No adoptee left behind.

Remember her for her brave actions, not just her struggles. #SinéadOConnor

My latest for @vtdigger: City officials say some 300 to 400 renters across 130 properties in the city were affected by flooding — and some are struggling to get timely help from their landlords. https://t.co/iIzc4S76e5 #VTflood23 #renters #Barre #flood

Sinead, you were a trailblazer in calling out abuse by the Catholic Church.

Nothing Compares to U came out in a really tumultuous time of my life (my adoptive mother passed 1990), & I'm so grateful that this resonated & helped me.

I'd met my bio mother the previous year. 1/2

A quick reminder that men could easily prevent 99% of abortions simply by ejaculating responsibly. They choose not to. This all-male panel doesn’t give a fuck about abortion. They just want to control women.

Burlington is currently treating 75% of the flow through a new, temporary system. Between 175,000 and 200,000 gallons of sewage are still flowing into the river and the lake every day. #VTflood23 https://t.co/deRXChFKnw

Hi this is a thread 🧵 for people my age (35) and older.

LISTEN TO THE YOUNG PEOPLE.

I had my young cousins over for dinner last night. They sat at my table while I was cooking just talking about their lives.

I haven't lost count. But what is Congress waiting for? More deportations of people adopted as children by US citizen parents? #FixItNow

I'm so tired of debating why I should be able to know my full identity and who my siblings are.

I met my little sister 3 months ago and she's been living with me ever since. I feel like I've gained a small piece of myself back.

How can anyone condemn that?

Officials are urging Vermonters to continue reporting damages to Vermont 2-1-1 in hopes of garnering additional federal funding as people assess losses from the major flooding earlier this month. #vtflood23

I need help finding my stolen aunt. She was sold in a Northern California hospital. I have details, residence and her adopted first name. My family won’t tell me where she is. Can anyone help me?

[Lina Vanegas (She/her) @LinaLeadsWLove]

Adoption is touted as a “better life” yet many of us are snatched away from our families due the criminalization of poverty and then many of us return to poverty once our ties are severed with adopters. #Adopteetwitter #adopteevoices #suicidepostvention #SuicidePrevention
