A few weeks after we moved here we let the grass grow to see what it did, being new to Georgia. The dickhead HOA president knocked on our door to tell us it was like ¼ inch too high. We naturally told him to kindly fuck off. So I went to the next meeting to let the board know that, it happened to be an election meeting and someone nominated me after my speech, and I was voted President, on a platform of doing absolutely nothing. Three years later and our fb group is in an uproar because we haven’t had a meeting since then and I have no intention of changing that. I’m praying someone tries to enforce our HOA by-laws in court. PRAYING 🙏🏽

Things Democrats are throwing away to get Platner elected:
❌ "Toxic Masculinity"
❌ #MeToo
❌ Believe all women
❌ "But we're not the Nazis"
❌ ... more to come

It’s so endearing that Grok is explaining rap beef slang to the normies. In case you didn’t know, “pussy ass” [means] (too soft/forgiving in some situation). Prompt courtesy of @AngelaBelcamino

literally nothing more annoying on the fucking planet than when websites don’t have the US at the top of a country selection list. No, I am not going to select fucking “Afghanistan” boutique clothing brand based in Nashville. Fuck off.

Bro kills his DS baby for YouTube (and Twitter) dollars and has the audacity to say “Anyway, I can’t wait to see all these words get minced and twisted again so people can grow their followings and stir outrage.” Wow. Just wow.

[Jesse Ridgway @McJuggerNuggets]

A quick aside: Be careful where you source your information online, whether it’s disturbing propaganda accounts, AI, ragebait fear mongerers,…we’re living in a complicated time and authenticity and empathy will be the most important currencies of the future.

Anyway, I can’t wait to see all these words get minced and twisted again so people can grow their followings and stir outrage. It’s a natural ecosystem after all, bottom-feeders have to get their meal too!

Hopefully, our story has inspired others to open up more and we can all find understanding. At the end of the day, I’m grateful that the discourse about our decision has spread so wide, it’s clearly a very important and sensitive topic, one that we need to pay more attention to.

Thank you to everyone who has been supportive during this difficult time and defending our choice as parents. It means more than you’ll ever know. ❤️

Also, my wife is a bad-ass. Not only did she go through this trauma, but she’s dealing with all the freaks on the Internet in stride. Love you babe. Let’s look to the future! 👶🏼

“People were mean to me on the internet when I posted that awful thing.”

Yeah man I don’t know what to tell you. No one made you do either of the things you did. Take your medicine.

People really have memory-holed just how little (by which I mean, nonexistent) the evidence was for Christine Blasey Ford's accusations. There is still no substantiation that she and Brett Kavanaugh have ever been in the same room together, let alone met.

Don’t announce an “intensely personal and private decision” in the digital public square and then get upset when people react.

Not everything in your life needs to be a post.

The Gaza war was fought with proportionality, outstanding protection of civilian life, and was started by Hamas.

That’s a much better way of putting it than mine

You can only grieve if you accept it was a life. We can judge because it was a life you chose to end.

The lengths to which people are going on this app to defend multi-millionaires who killed their DS baby in utero for YouTube clout while claiming to not have the means to raise it is, just astonishing. How you get there as a human being is fucking beyond me. Something went so horribly, terribly wrong in your life and honestly I just feel sorry for you. Unbelievable.

Let’s not be too quick to judge Graham Platner.

For ten years I proudly wore what I thought was a Noahide covenant tattoo on my chest.

In retrospect, the fact that every shirtless man at the Peacock Club kept complimenting it should have been a clue.

If you didn’t see it this fucking ghoul is doubling down, have at it

[Jesse Ridgway @McJuggerNuggets]

I’ve never seen such hate and vitriol for two people grieving the loss of their unborn child and making an impossible decision.

The last 24 hours have exposed a side of humanity that is deeply disturbing. Being called “murderous pieces of shit, evil, compared to Hitler” and receiving NON-STOP DEATH THREATS.

Seeing my 6-year old dog with Stage 4 Kidney Disease be used as a weapon, manipulating my words and intent in a tweet or saying we’ll regret this decision forever and must repent to God is absolute insanity.

If you ever wanted to marvel at the depravity of people online, just check the replies on my latest tweet. It’s a shit-show of epic proportions. This is reflective of the current world and landscape we’re all living in.

What’s more troubling is a lot of these people use God or Jesus as their justification for threatening us and wanting to cast us into Hell…seems pretty hypocritical.

So many saying they would’ve kept the child, put it up for adoption or are suddenly ready to adopt a down syndrome child, that’s great! You can do all those things. However, many of the people throwing stones don’t even have children, let alone one with a condition and most likely will never do the things they say they’re going to do.

There has been some heinous shit said about my wife and I on some extremely large accounts…It baffles me that there are such trashy-ass people who have significant followings. If you can’t contribute anything meaningful to the conversation aside from insults then just don’t post.

On the other hand, there has been tremendous stories of people who kept their Down Syndrome baby and that’s awesome! Very courageous and they do look very happy! That is your choice and I support it. This was ours and we can do that. It’s very easy to accept the differences between us when it has no actual bearing on your life.

What shocked me most of all was that this story has become mainstream news…A couple’s abortion is suddenly newsworthy in 2026…?

There are over 1,000,000 abortions every single year for a myriad of reasons, this is happening on a DAILY BASIS and is the most common outcome for Trisomy 21, yet this one blows up and people are surprised…?

The reason this blew up is quite simple: IT’S BECAUSE NOBODY TALKS ABOUT IT.

I can’t blame people for not talking about these vulnerable experiences publicly because you see the disgusting backlash that ensues. It’s very divisive. Luckily, after 20 years on the Internet, this is par the course for me taking on the crazies, so I’m glad I can help further the conversation.

That’s exactly why I wanted to share this story. People still need to see vulnerability and hear the raw truth. There is real suffering going on and it is being done in silence and fear.

So many mothers have reached out privately commending us on our bravery to speak truthfully about this topic and we really appreciate that support! We want you to feel less alone in this and less ashamed.

There has never been a more important time to speak up and out about the things that matter. Do not let the vocal minority stop you from sharing your truth.

To those who have been affected by this or are confronted with a similar situation in the future, we have your back and please feel free to reach out. I’m sure this will follow us awhile especially when we try for a kid again in the near future.
