They say they want Americans to have more babies. What's beneath the surface?
Pronatalists believe that modern culture has failed to adequately prioritize the value of nuclear families and making lots of babies. They see powerful potential allies in Elon Musk and JD Vance.

Tomorrow, February 28, let’s disrupt the status quo by spending ONLY at businesses that uplift our communities.
That means:
🚫 No gas from corporate giants
🚫 No fast food chains
🚫 No big-box retailers (Target, Walmart, Amazon, etc.)

Idk the exact route of my western European ancestors, likely taken in the 1870s(ish?). Everything we do today is more complicated than it was then. It's worth recalling how easy it was for (many of our) families to get here "legally." live-americanimmigrationcouncil.pantheonsite.io/research/did...

After 2 yrs of cancer, my dad died. I was 15. @ 17, I came out of a fog w/ new energy & interest. @ 39 my brain broke due to internal & external stress. @ 43, I came out of a fog w/ new energy, interest & menopause 🔥 lol. It feels timely. I'm grateful to now understand my anger, and how to use it.

Billy Graham began his remarks with a reference to a myth about George Washington, kneeling in the snow in prayer at Valley Forge.
It was invented by biographer Parson Weems and later memorialized in paintings.

The holidays and a busy month at work meant paying less attention to the news. In 2021, that meant returning to see a "shaman" on Capitol Hill. In 2025, it's hearing that a babyman wants steal other countries. What a time to be alive.
