@iAmBoogie4@joecitizen1974@dave43law@CalltoActivism It's absolutely insane to me that people still haven't arrived to this conclusion after all this time. They've been running Good Cop Bad Cop for over 30 yrs.
We now have evidence that gentle parenting doesnât work.
Hereâs an uncomfortable truth about parenting no one wants to say out loud:
The data is not kind to gentle parenting.
According to teenagers, strict curfews. strict bedtimes, screen limits, device drop off times, dedicated homework blocks, and sleepover restrictions IMPROVE higher relationship quality.
And yes, parenting difficulty goes up.
Of course it does. Leadership is harder than appeasement.
For the past decade we have been sold a watered down, Instagram friendly version of âgentle parentingâ that often collapses into boundary avoidance, endless negotiation and emotional processing without enforcement. Parents terrified of saying no because they do not want to rupture connection.
But connection without authority is not connection. It is dependency.
When parents impose structure, the relationship improves.
Teenagers report better parent child relationship quality in homes with curfews and rules. Younger kids report better relationships in homes with screen limits and bedtimes. Even device drop off times correlate positively.
Why?
Because structure is not cruelty. Structure is love made visible.
A bedtime says: your brain matters more than your entertainment.
A screen limit says: your dopamine system is not fully developed and I will guard it until it is.
A curfew says: your safety matters more than your social standing.
That is not authoritarianism. That is caring.
Boundaries create friction. Friction creates growth. The parent absorbs the short term discomfort so the child does not pay the long term cost.
Children do not experience well calibrated limits as rejection. They experience them as stability. The human brain craves predictability. Predictability reduces anxiety. Reduced anxiety strengthens attachment.
That is why relationship quality goes up.
Notice something else in the data. The strongest effects are around time structure. Bedtime. Homework. Devices. Outside play. These are environmental constraints. They scaffold executive function.
The winning formula is not tyranny.
It is high warmth plus high structure.
The modern failure mode is high warmth plus low structure. That is just abdication of responsibility wrapped in empathy.
Children need leadership, not negotiation. They need adults who can tolerate their anger. They need boundaries that do not move every time emotions spike. They need someone whose prefrontal cortex is fully myelinated.
The harder path produces the stronger bond.
Because when a child feels that someone is strong enough to hold the line, they relax. And relaxed nervous systems build durable relationships.
@David_J_Bier How is it possible that in 2026, in the US, an unmarked car with no lights & no LE identification filled with masked men with guns can pull over a woman & yet somehow think we're in the land of free? "POLICE" stitched across their chest could mean they got uniforms at goodwill.
@matchbox234@AdameMedia RFK Jr is the only one doing their job. Removing red dye from foods. Fixing the food pyramid. Delaying vaccinations for young children so they're more spread out and not all taken at once which could be causing harm to children's brain development. Everyone else can go to hell.

Freedom of speech âŠ
@Heathfeath45 @Ambo39 @faisalislam Biden was suffering from some form of dimensia. Let's not BS this just because we have someone worse at the helm. Biden would be giving a political speech and suddenly call on someone that's been dead for a while now.
đšBREAKING: ICE agents are instigating confrontations with U.S. citizens to manufacture an excuse to use force and make arrests, in Albert Lea, Minnesota.
In the video, U.S. citizens are standing in a parking lot.
They are minding their own business when ICE agents approach them.
The agents start taking pictures of them, their license plate, and asking questions they donât have to answer.
That alone is intimidation.
Then a citizen criticizes an agent saying,
âEspecially with all your gang tattoos showing. You take off your badge and then fight? Is that what you do?â
Not a threat. Not a challenge. Speech.
And immediately an agent tries to reframe it:
âIs that a threat?â
Thatâs the setup.
When that doesnât work, an ICE agent takes off his duty belt⊠gun, ammo, restraints⊠and says:
âHey, you want to fight?â
This is the tell.
Theyâre not trying to de-escalate.
Theyâre trying to provoke a reaction.
Because if a civilian swings back, pushes, or defends themselves, ICE suddenly gets to say:
âassault on an officerâ
âresistingâ
âthreatening behaviorâ
Even though ICE initiated it.
When other agents restrain him, the same agent suddenly claims:
âI wasnât serious, I was just proving a point.â
No.
You donât remove your weapon to âprove a point.â
You do it because youâre trying to start a fight.
Then he admits why they came over in the first place:
âI want to see what was going on with you guys.â
Thatâs not reasonable suspicion.
Thatâs fishing.
Then he flat-out says:
âI fuck with anybody and everybody.â
Thatâs the tactic.
Harass.
Escalate.
Provoke.
Then arrest whoever reacts.
And when civilians call it out, the excuse becomes:
âAt the end of the day, itâs a job.â
No.
Your job is not baiting U.S. citizens into confrontations so you can put hands on them.
The man filming sums it up:
âYou have the protection of all of this shit knowing if we fuck you up they gotchu.â
Exactly.
ICE agents know civilians canât defend themselves and any reaction gets criminalized.
So they push.
They poke.
They try to start fights so they can arrest U.S. citizens.
This isnât immigration enforcement.
This isnât law enforcement.
Itâs manufactured justification for violence against U.S. citizens.
And itâs happening on camera.
@Acyn@USCongress Tromp spoke to oil companies before and after attacking Venezuela, but he violated the Constitution by not getting your approval. Balls in your court - impeach and convict him - if you donât - you will be violating your own oaths. We The People demand you take action!
