Stunning & brave blue check went private: http://archive.is/mMPqU
As an adoptee, I need to know more about the circumstances of how Amy Coney Barrett came to adopt her children, and the treatment of them since.
Transracial adoption is fraught with trauma and potential for harm, and everything I see here is deeply concerning.

Not only was my grandma a product of rape, she was adopted. Her adoptive family were and are incredible people. How dare you politicize adoption or question treatment without any valid reason. Going private after posting this shit is cowardly, @johnbrougher.

Read this from Democrat activist & Hill staffer. Questioning whether #AmyConeyBarrett illegally adopted her children from Haiti, maybe snatching them from birth parents! This is the Dem gameplan. Nothing but raw bigotry and hate. I promise you, this will not stand
Not sure how a Hill staffer w/ 18k doesn't have a blue check, even Jack must think she's horrid! https://archive.is/DIcIF
Their apology is certainly "blue check worthy" (NOT a compliment): https://archive.is/cfwJg
Here’s what I tweeted earlier. I shouldn’t have tweeted it. Not bc there is anything substantively wrong w it, but bc it was too easy to misunderstand, to mischaracterize, or use to manipulate the rubes who think I control what the press investigates. (As if!) Also, anyone...
Amy Coney Barrett seem like a pretty decent person.
Made 5 children and was amasing enough to find the strenght to care and provide for two more she adopted. Children she didn't care were not of her ethnicity, as she wanted to also give to children in need beyond kin.
Sounds like a civic patriot. I remember a time when the Left celebrated civic nationalism as an answer to nationalism based on race.
Turned out it comes crashing down when demographic shift progresses further and racial grievances tear the fabric of a nation apart, but once upon a time, they tried to make it work.
It's not just that. It's also that then, just like now, every unspoken rule of political correctness is secretly a weapon to use against conservatives. Oh you adopted black children? You're a racist white saviour. Oh you're adopting white children? Why aren't you adopting black children, racist? Oh you're having more children of your own? Why aren't you adopting children in need? Besides, think about overpopulation! It's all one big kafkatrap.
edit the takeaway is that the Left has never actually changed their position or attitude. the thought process has always been this: is this person or idea considered right-wing according to the current position of the Overton window? if so, there's no room for debate - we must destroy it and no tactic is too dirty.
