Donald Trump is the perfect example of what happens when no one in your life has ever told you to shut the fuck up.

The question nobody's asked yet about the Buttigieg case is the one Vivek Sankaran raised. He directs the Child Welfare Appellate Clinic at the University of Michigan Law School, and his concern isn't just that the call was false. It's that it should never have gotten this far. An anonymous tip about a conversation with a stranger at an Alabama conference years ago, with no specifics about the actual children, was thin enough that it never should have cleared intake, let alone triggered a state visit and a day of separation.

That system failure has a history with LGBTQ parents specifically. In 1996, a Florida judge gave primary custody of a child to her father, a convicted murderer who'd just served eight years for killing his first wife, over her mother, because the mother was a lesbian. The state has used sexual orientation as a weapon against gay and lesbian parents before. This isn't a new fear. It's an old one wearing a new delivery mechanism.

New York recently banned anonymous CPS reports for exactly this reason. Michigan hasn't.

🗣️ FUCK DONALD TRUMP AND ANYONE WHO STANDS WITH HIM HAPPY OF 4TH OF JULY EVERYONE

[The Tennessee Holler @TheTNHoller]

PASTOR LORAN LIVINGSTON (@CentralChurchNC): “There has never been a Christian nation, and never will be. You don’t live in one now. A Christian nation wouldn’t have killed and displaced 20 million Native Americans, or thought owning slaves was pleasing to God.”

[John Bourscheid 🇺🇸 🚀 @bourscheid]

I didn’t recite “with liberty and justice for all” every day as a kid just to be called a woke libtard for wanting liberty and justice for ALL as an adult. Some of you clearly weren’t listening.

Happy Fourth.

[Erin @erinbeth]

Bingo!

[Tim Hannan @TimHannan]

If you think liberals steal elections and control the weather but also let Republicans control all three branches of government you may be fucking stupid beyond repair.

[The Green Dragon Tavern @greendragonhq]

Democrats wore masks so their neighbors wouldn’t get sick.

Republicans wear masks so their neighbors don’t know they are a racist.

If you display the confederate flag at any time during the year, you should not be celebrating July 4th because you actually support the traitors that tried to prevent this country from existing.

[Jamie Bonkiewicz @JamieBonkiewicz]

The second birthright citizenship was upheld, MAGA started talking about:

Sterilization requirements for women.
Visa denials for pregnant women.
ICE targeting pregnant women.

So when they tell you they’re pro-life and pro-women, it’s all bullshit.

[John Collins @Logically_JC]

It feels weird to celebrate our independence, when it’s pretty clear we are losing it.

[Brian Tyler Cohen @briantylercohen]

Trump will release the video evidence of vandals cutting a 350 ft gash in the Reflecting Pool lining when he releases the Epstein files, and proof that the 2020 election was stolen, and evidence that the ICE agents who killed Americans acted in self defense, and

[Jo @JoJoFromJerz]

The Trump regime is arresting people for touching paint chips but not for touching kids.

[MP Arizona☀️🏳️‍🌈💙🌵🐕🐕‍🦺🫂💦🏜🐟🌴🎙🌎🌻♍️🌊 @AzPetrich]

Arresting an Olympian for touching the peeling liner of the Reflecting Pool before arresting anyone named in the Epstein Files really captures where we're at in the United States right now. And it's fucking gross.

[Covie @covie_93]

Happy Fathers Day to all the fathers and father figures.

*Except the ones who voted for their daughters to have fewer rights than their mother.

[Lyn🦋 @_ayandamay]

I don't support all women.

Some of you bitches uphold the Patriarchy and will do anything for male validation.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

🚨OMG. A fighter just declared “Michelle Obama is a man” on the White House lawn as Joe Rogan chuckles.

Tonight is a DISGRACE to our country, not a celebration.

[Books Behind Borders @MHTruthUltra]

Realizing that child rape is not a dealbreaker for many Americans has been the absolute black pill of my life.
