"I am a man. See me as a human being—not a birth defect, not a syndrome. I don’t need to be eradicated."
Frank Stephens pleads for the humanization of people with Down syndrome, studies suggest 67-90% are aborted in the United States due to faulty prenatal screenings.
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
To those that can’t fathom a @RobertKennedyJr as head of the HHS…
Let me take you back to 2020 when our health officials told us to hide inside, wear masks that didn’t work, take experimental shots that caused many harm, and discouraged sunshine and exercise outdoors.
All in the name of health!
The covid response was an absolute shit show and anyone who used common sense during that time was labeled crazy, reckless, and selfish. They were canceled and attacked.
For years now we have completely outsourced all personal accountability to big pharma and used “body positivity” as a way to sidestep reality and the epidemics staring us in the face.
Any forward, outside the box, common sense thinkers were looked down upon and judged by self righteous individuals who to this day struggle to admit they were wrong.
Some of you may not like it but your children will be thanking those who had the courage to call out those absurdities as they get to enjoy longer, healthier, happier lives.
To brighter days ahead!

NEW: Starbucks *fires* heroic barista who subdued and protected a co-worker from robbers after getting pistol-whipped in the head.
I can't emphasis this enough: Starbucks is trash.
20-year old Michael Harrison, who was working through paramedic school, was fired after he fought off two criminals who tried robbing the store.
The incident happened at a downtown Starbucks in St. Louis.
The men rushed into the store with guns and told everyone to get on the floor. Harrison was instructed to open the cash register which he couldn't because he didn't have credentials.
As the men went through Harrison's pockets, he was pistol-whipped in the head.
A co-worker believed the gun was fake so he started fighting off the robbers. Harrison jumped into action to help him.
Harrison was able to subdue Joshua Noe who was later arrested. The police officers thanked Harrison and his co-worker for their bravery.
The other assailant, Marquise Porter-Doyle, was arrested nearby.
Harrison was praised by local media but Starbucks was not thankful for his actions.
They were then placed on paid leave for two weeks. After the two weeks was up, Harrison and his co-worker were fired for "violating company policy."
"In situations like this, our training and protocols guide our partners to comply and de-escalate, not just for their safety but for the safety of all in the store," Starbucks said.
"That job was helping me pay for college," Harrison said. "I just don’t understand it. I thought it was the right thing to do."
This man should have gotten a raise. Instead, he was fired.
Insane.
One thing that has become evident over the past couple of years (especially on social media) is young Americans (below 50) have a very limited view of history - both world history and American history. History gives us the best understanding of how the world functions and how conflicts have lead to both misery and growth. In the absence of any real foundation of knowledge, people act based on immediate emotion - It’s primitive and unsustainable - It will invariably lead to chaos, like having toddlers run the daycare center. Many of these people are in powerful positions. We are not being governed by serious people in many cases. Unfortunately I don’t know if there’s a happy solution here as the cat’s out of the bag other than thinking locally.
@united won’t consider my request for a platinum status extension related to maternity leave because this is my second child within five years. Very anti-woman anti-child policy. Especially while working moms are disproportionally impacted by pandemic and WFH
@united please speak with your female ticketing agent working premium desk at @Dulles_Airport tonight. She just mistreated my mother and gave incorrect information regarding baggage and premium status. I tried calling to file complaint and was told I can only use an online form.
