Unapologetic God Lover. I am Me.

I was born in Uganda, and you were born in Tanzania, let’s not forget that!

For all the parents out there dealing with a decision... let me give you another perspective

In 2018 my wife and I went in for our 20? week ultra sound at Beth Israel in Boston... the rep was very quiet the whole time, something seemed off. My wife & I were first time parents... didn't have much context. The doctor pulled us into her office and told us our sons nuchal fold was abnormally large... she went on to say there is a significant increased chance of Down Syndrome and even Turner's syndrome... talked about options to terminate the pregnancy. My wife was inconsolable, rightly so ... even thinking about it now brings back a lot of heavy emotions because of how hard of a day it was... hard...

I did a lot of research on the topic ... my wife & I prayed non stop about it. All we could do. The doctors wanted to do an amniocentesis which has its own host of risks..run more tests...

We came to the conclusion, which was not easy... it didn't matter... no amnio, no more tests.... I felt in my soul the Lord's plan was perfect and if our son was going to have Down Syndrome we would love him and shepherd him through this world the best we could. We get what we get. Anything from the Lord was a BLESSING and I was not going to point my finger at Him

Fast forward to today... our son is going to be 8 in the fall. He is perfect. Just hit a homerun the other day... a much better baseball player than I was at his age. My best friend

I share this deeply personal story for nothing more than to give just ONE parent hope... the Lord's plan is perfect... stay the course

@McJuggerNuggets Your child deserved so much more.

Disabled children are just as valuable as able-bodied children.

Killing children because of a diagnosis isn’t just ableism.

It’s evil.

@McJuggerNuggets Cliff’s Notes Version: Our child wasn’t perfect so we killed it. The end.

[Andrew Daub @TheResoluteLife]

@McJuggerNuggets Actually, I don’t understand…

And neither does Iron Will.

[Zac Crippen @ZacCrippen]

@McJuggerNuggets Next time somebody tells me that abortions for the sake of convenience don’t happen, I’ll show them this post.

You had literally one job: protect your family. Instead, you killed the smallest member of your family because you were concerned he or she would make your life hard.

[Kristan Hawkins @KristanHawkins]

I feel so bad for your child who you killed. He or she didn’t deserve death because they would have had a more challenging life than others. Death was not a cure.

To every person who is reading and has Downs, cystic fibrosis, or another potentially fatal genetic disability, I hope you know your life has just as much value as anyone else. Yes, your life will be physically harder but life is always worth living.

[Mrs Poffertjes @VitaCatholica]

@McJuggerNuggets I can't believe we live in a society where people feel comfortable sharing the fact they murdered their child on twitter
You didn't terminate the pregnancy, you had your child executed for the crime of not meeting your standards
Did you want people to clap

[Dave Bruno @DBrunoMedia]

To anyone reading this who might be facing a similar crossroads, meet my son Josh.

Josh is 3 and has Down Syndrome, the very condition shared about here in this post. We received a prenatal diagnosis at roughly 10 weeks. Some of the complications we feared happened, but that wasn't the end of the story. Josh was born early and spent a month in the hospital. At 1 year old, he had open-heart surgery. Now he's 3, loves life, and is thriving. The hard days didn't win.

If anyone else finds themselves in a similar place, reach out. There's a whole community of people here to support you. It hasn't always been easy, but he's worth every bit of it and then some.

[O.Shane @oshane]

@McJuggerNuggets You killed your unborn baby because of T21 but are choosing to keep a dog with no kidneys alive?

Your priorities and actions are reprehensible. The blood of your child will cry out from the ground to the Most High God of the universe for justice.

[Ben Zeisloft @BenZeisloft]

This was the murder of your own child, an innocent baby made in the image of God. Just because Down syndrome offers some added inconveniences does not mean babies with Down syndrome should be legally executed.

Please run to Jesus Christ, who forgives murderers, in sincere repentance and faith.

[Megan Basham @megbasham]

Imagine the message you are sending right now to every person with down syndrome around the world. You are telling them that their lives are not worth living. You are telling them that if their existence is an inconvenience for someone else that person should have the right to kill them.

This is a horrific post and I hope you come to see that someday soon.

@JameOdiya69399 @AmWejuli @Sudhirntv I came here to say exactly this

[Uganda Uganda 🇺🇬🙏🏽 @GodFreeUganda]

@aatuheirea @investigator_ug You wish you were celebrated just as she is

[Stanley The Investigator @investigator_ug]

She talked, we looked away✍🏾
She shouted, we covered our ears✍🏾
She yelled, we called her a hater✍🏾
She finally kept quite to watch her talks, cries, shouts and yells steadily sink into us. Yes. She waited and waited, in vain.

She resorted to praying that one day, her target will make a mistake. This didn’t take long. A trigger was formed in the shape of a Rolls Royce and oh yes, her supposed nemesis pulled it straight into her own foot. ✍🏾✍🏾✍🏾

Today allow me to celebrate the Journalist in @AAgather… as she laughs last, let’s throw her the deserved 💐

[Jim Spire Ssentongo @SpireJim]

The sustainable fight against corruption will be by building institutions (not individuals) and letting them do their job. The current celebration can be understood. Naturally, we celebrate the ongoing action against AAA because of the anger we have towards her displayed insensitivity, with on-camera extravagance, theft, and impunity. Her biggest fault is rubbing it in our faces and persecuting critics/opponents, otherwise corruption per se is normal now. The moment is also used as an outlet for the accumulated frustrations in the public. In a place where corruption is hardly ever genuinely fought, this isolated action had to be exciting - no matter its political intentions.

But, knowing what we know, including that Mawanda is a big PLU official, we need to come back to our senses after the AAA downfall excitement. Other bizarre things are passing in the dust of this dance. We need to remain cynical because many other known corrupt people who are still in good books are walking heads high. There is no new beginning being announced with regard to integrity; it is more of an announcement of the might of a new power base. We need to continue demanding that illegality is not fought with illegality and arbitrariness.

We naturally didn’t care who sorts the irritating AAA, but we should know that if relevant institutions were allowed to do their job and also checked, the AAA phenomenon wouldn’t have taken this long to be brought to order. We know why the IGG and Auditor General developed cold feet during the earlier Parliament Exhibition, as they often do around big political darlings. We watched Parliament become the casino that it is. Government can’t act shocked, except in announcement of incompetence. We know why many relevant bodies can’t do their job.

We can also see that the AAA issue has been choreographed and performed in a way that politically channels credit to an individual who shouldn’t have been at the center of it in a healthy system. That is why it came along with announcement of his preferred replacement - an early patronage sign that the cycle is likely to be repeated.

We have not failed to stop corruption because of lack of individuals who care. It is because of a political system that thrives on corruption and only affords an occasional performance of fighting it where some political interests are at risk or when we want to politically manufacture credit and power for special individuals. A more sustainable fight should be institutional, constitutional and non-selective.

[Jim Spire Ssentongo @SpireJim]

Just like that, no one is discussing election results on Swear-in day. Narrative is successfully shifted to … The headlines will be about … Distracting Ugandans must be a fun job. You just toss your card, then sit back, watch and laugh as they all rush into the trap like chicken. Awo nga oyisaawo ebibyo

[Joel Julius @iamkiweewa]

My name is Kiweewa Joel Julius. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Social Work and Social Administration from Muteesa I Royal University Masaka and today I’m employed because of that very course people love to disrespect online.

Funny enough, in my entire bloodline, I was the first to pursue SWSA. Some relatives who did the “prestigious” science and law courses are still job hunting while I’m out here building my career and thriving. So spare us the shallow narrative that arts courses are useless.

Uganda’s unemployment crisis is not caused by SWSA, Literature, Arts or Humanities. The real problem is a broken system where jobs move through connections, corruption and luck before merit even gets a seat at the table. A few of us survive on merit but many qualified graduates are locked out regardless of what they studied.

The same leaders telling students to abandon arts courses held a whole mindset change retreat preaching against corruption, then walked away with UGX 100 million each in allowances funded by taxpayers. The same country preaching “science first” still survives on loans from investors and development partners.

Maybe stop attacking students for choosing SWSA and start fixing the systems creating unemployment in the first place. Social workers are still needed because poverty, unemployment, GBV, child neglect, mental health crises and community breakdowns didn’t disappear.

The problem isn’t arts students. The problem is leaders who talk socio-economic transformation but never walk the talk.
