The Super Bowl is for the people.

The vegetarian chile is simmering and we are ready to watch a good game, rate the trillion dollar ads (while folks starve and have no medical coverage), and enjoy the halftime show by Bad Bunny- an American treasure from our Puerto Rico.
(I always thought we should have been taught Spanish as a second language- instead we got to choose one or two years of a language that many never really took in.)
Alternative half time on turning point will support the far right (which is all the right these days).
During their ads, in the midst of the Epstein horrors, and the glazing over of the exploitation and abuse of children, they will show an add for adoption!
I am adopted.
I loved my adoptive and my birth family.
But i do not love adoption
when it traffics children under the auspices of saving them,
and then allows them to fall into
the hands of evil
(we prefer to see only the good).

There is, and will be, discussion to follow.
Stay awake and tuned in to what happens to children and their mothers in this world and in our country


If you see this MAGA adoption video,
you will see more harmful propaganda from the predatory adoption industry that completely glosses over the lifelong harms to birth mothers and adoptees.
Watch Gretchen Sisson’s video explaining why adoption is NOT the opposite of abortion.
Bonus points if you also read her book Relinquished.
