We Protected Our Children By Homeschooling During COVID, And The Science Proves We Were Right

I’ve had it with the gaslighting.

For years, those of us who chose to homeschool during the pandemic were labeled paranoid. Overprotective. Helicopter parents overreacting to what everyone insisted was “a cold” for kids.

Now the studies have come in. And guess what? We were right all along.

The data is brutal and vindicating. Children who catch COVID more than once face double the risk of long COVID. Their chance of myocarditis jumps 3.6 times higher than kids with just one infection. They’re developing kidney damage, brain issues, and symptoms in practically every organ system researchers have bothered to check.

From the party of supposed small government and states rights:

An administration that is federalizing a state national guard over the objections of the governor to invade another state over the objections of its governor.

We do not have a democracy.

Q: Have you given any more thought to possibly suspending habeas corpus?

TRUMP: Suspending who?

Q: Habeas corpus

TRUMP: I don't know. I'd rather leave that to Kristi.

Mass mobilizations matter. They change the narrative. Build solidarity across society. Show that resistance is powerful, growing & everywhere. And they spread courage & inspire others to push back against the Trump admin's authoritarian actions. On Oct 18, be part of the largest US mobilization yet:

No Kings

As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power belongs to the people.

Today, Senator Kaine and I will force the Senate to vote on the administration’s decision to blow up ships in the Caribbean.

If a president can unilaterally put people or groups on a list and kill them, there is no meaningful limit to his use of force.

I will not back down.

“The brief moment sparked controversy online over Miller’s use of the phrase ‘plenary authority,’ which Cornell University’s Legal Information Institute defines as “power that is wide-ranging, broadly construed, and often limitless for all practical purposes.”

Christopher Webb @cwebbonline.com · 1d

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.
