So I have been suspended by my son's basketball league for standing up for 5 yr olds last week and advocating for them to play without masks during a heat wave. I am not sure this community can recover from how far down a dark hole we've gone. I need to get the hell out of here.
Dear GOP: suburban moms like me who are not registered Republican but are voting for conservative candidates cannot stand Trump. Please, don't screw up the red wave by making him the nominee. Please. There are much better choices.
If I am tracking correctly, Fani had tax lien(s), took out cash from her campaign and kept it in her house, hired her married lover for a job he was not qualified to take, then paid her lover cash from her campaign stash for their vacations. Do I have the facts correct?
Last night I attended a hospital gala filled with hundreds of maskless physicians and donors being served by masked and gloved waiters. I don’t get out much but I hear that people are used to seeing service industry folks masked and it doesn’t seem to bother anyone. 🧐
I am deeply troubled by the attempts to normalize mask-wearing for respiratory viruses. We need human connection, children need to learn language and normal expression, hard of hearing people need to read lips. We need a LOT of therapy to move on from paranoia and hypochondria.
We were kicked out of youth basketball today for refusing to put a mask on my five-year-old OUTSIDE in the LA heat wave, after 13 masked children collapsed outdoors at LA schools this week. A brief thread. 🧵
I’ve received multiple “intervention” calls from family members and friends since becoming vocal about how my kids are being harmed by covid mandates. I want you to think about how disturbing it is that publicly fighting for your children is controversial.

I'm reading through the unofficial final Title IX rule right now, and my first takeaway is that it appears to have been written entirely by TRAs. My second takeaway is that if this stands, we have permanently ended women's sports.

The treatments include chemical castration, mastectomy, phalloplasty, vaginoplasty, hysterectomy, orchiectomy, and more. It is important to avoid using misleading language like "gender affirming care" when talking about irreversible medical procedures on children.
As a California mom, I needed that debate. Newsom has never been held accountable for the harm he caused people like me and my kids. He's never apologized. Tonight is the closest thing I think we will ever get. A proven leader attacking Newsom's failures on a national stage,
It's freaking me out that even renowned legal scholars and high ranking politicians are pretending the purported draft SCOTUS opinion bans abortion in the US. Even if it's real, that is not what it says.

The White House ban of a trans influencer for inappropriate behavior shows that criticizing inappropriate behavior is not the same as “trying to erase people” or “being transphobic.” This is what parents have been trying to say – be gay, be trans, be whatever you want to be – but
I’m traumatized by what happened yesterday. It seems like the most primal human instinct - to protect your children - has been broken in people. Are you seeing this where you are or is it just LA?
California is making my physically sick. I can't handle the hypocrisy & nonsense anymore. It was annoying but tolerable before covid b/c I could live my life without having to see it 24/7. Now that California's policies are harming me and my kids almost nonstop, it's too much.

I am trying not to be angry at the people who are trying to remain under the radar and not rock the boat. But if those people spoke out today, asinine restrictions on our kids would end tomorrow. So, I'm pissed. I'm sorry.
Now that we've seen how abuse of emergency powers can result in destruction of your business, your ability to travel freely, your ability to earn a living, your kids' ability to attend school and play sports, etc., what can we do to make sure this never happens again?
Newsom has announced that he will not respect local curriculum decisions made by duly elected school boards. He will impose million dollar fines if they do not bend to his will. This should scare you if you want your kids to actually learn things like math.
I said this a year ago, but it clearly needs to be repeated. Attacking parents who share how pandemic policies harmed their children is evil. Adults who lived on takeout & laptops without having to watch children suffer should strongly consider scrolling by without commenting.
I continue to be amused by attempts to silence me. A little over a year ago, my kids were being tortured, I couldn't work, and none of my elected officials would listen or respond to me. I will not shut up now. PS: You're gonna love me!

? Love your gorgeous maskless face! Unmask my children now please. My toddler, 5yr old, and 7 yr old are going to school in LA County tomorrow and will be sent home if they unmask like this, even outside.
Before you report your covid positive test to you kid's school, ask yourself: "Is this helping anyone? Is this harming anyone? Would everyone be better off if I simply kept my sick kid at home?"
Last year I was shamed into silence for speaking out about school reopening. I sent my kid to a private school and pulled out of the debate. The same a-holes are trying to do it again this year, and despite potentially losing friends and being judged I'm not shutting up.
For anyone going to the Super Bowl tomorrow, pls take pics and videos of unmasked masses. Would love celeb and politician shots for the lawsuit. My DMs are open (although very full so it may take me a while to respond). TIA
One of my best friends is a teacher. She is the most incredible human being - loving, empathetic, joyful, and intelligent. She's exactly who you want teaching your kids. She wants to quit because her school is making her wear an N95. She can't breathe.
I've gone back and forth about whether to share this, but I think it's important to be transparent. During a deposition today in the Alliance case, counsel for the County, a Sheppard Mullin partner, introduced several very personal exhibits. One was a photo of my son.

I have a toddler too. Get yourself together man. This isn't a good look and your kids will be fine. When you're better, consider therapy. I mean it sincerely.
Unpopular opinion: both political parties prolong human suffering in order to capitalize on it for fundraising purposes. When a problem is solved it can no longer be used as a campaign issue.
California is in a crisis of chaos.
We won't return to normal until rampant homelessness and crime are dealt with, and order is restored.
The politicians, and elite political ruling class, have failed us.
We need an intervention imposed by voters.
I AM THAT INTERVENTION
Because I was the only parent who stood up, she feels empowered to continue treating people this way. We need to name and shame everyone complicit in abusing our kids. This is not OK, and it needs to end TODAY.
I woke up to find out my best friends and their three young kids are moving to Texas. California is still losing amazing, hard working families every day. I keep fighting to change politics here but it is unbelievably depressing.
I cannot express how frustrating it is to talk to people who still do not see the exclusion of people who didn't get a jab as discriminatory and wrong.
My ex-Montessori has now officially changed their policy to allow everyone, including adults, to be mask-free outdoors. To the sanctimonious moms who hate-follow me here, YOU’RE WELCOME.
A relative teaches first grade in Florida. I'm looking at her photos of joyful children participating in classroom feasts, hugging, smiling, laughing, and it fills me with sadness and rage that this is being stolen from my own first grader by

Drama: Here is the email from the room mom who reported me for not wearing my mask outdoors, which led to my children being kicked out of Montessori (A short thread to demonstrate the virtue signaling hysterics in LA): 1/6
If covid is not a vaccine-preventable disease, and if it's a virus that will continue to mutate in perpetuity, can someone explain to me why a k-12 vax mandate would make any sense?
After sticking my neck out and sacrificing my personal comfort and ability to work, both my public school district and my ex-Montessori have announced outdoor masking is optional today. I’ll keep sacrificing myself to help kids. Wish more would join me.

I'm so tired. I couldn't wait for my kids to start elementary school so I could get involved in classroom parties & joyful carefree childhood fun. Instead, I'm fighting with the principal and district nonstop over absolutely insane policies, and I don't see an end in sight.
I want to sincerely thank everyone in media who has given coverage to the harms children suffer under mandates. Thank you so much. Without your coverage I don't think Ferrer would've "paused" today.
Can an environmentalist please explain to me the difference in damage to the environment between plastic eating utensils and disposable surgical masks?

The exact same social engineering playbook used for mask and vax mandates is being used for gender ideology. If you speak up or step out of line, you're a phobic/ist/far right winger who deserves to die. As we are seeing now with the mass realization that mask and vax mandates
After witnessing egregious hypocrisy from politicians and union lackeys at sofi, I dropped off my children at a fully masked elementary school and watched in horror as 20 crying toddlers lined up to get jammed in the nose. I want to vomit. Is anyone paying attention?
I've removed every photo I can find of my children from public record, and should have done so long ago. I will not be intimidated back into the shadows, but I will not stand for you using my children as a weapon to silence me.
SB866, to lower the age of consent to 12, just passed the California State Senate. Pan, Wiener and co. believe the state owns your kids, and now they're codifying it into law. Contact your Assemblymember now to make sure it dies there.
Team reality is growing weary. If you support common sense and ending covid-mania but have yet to speak up, now is the time. We need good people to stop being bystanders.
@David_Leavitt
I want you to open your mind and really think about what bodily autonomy means. Sit quietly and think about it for ten minutes.
Spoiler - you either have full control of what happens to your body, or the government gets a say. If you support government control, ever, you don't
To anyone who was not yet aware, I regret to inform you that nearly all of our government agencies in California, from state to city to school district, are run by feckless, spineless, illiterate morons who don't understand the constitution or the purpose of government.
Yesterday was a really hard day. After full night's sleep I woke up this morning without feeling like I'm going to barf or cry any second. So this tweet goes out to all the people having a really hard day - tomorrow will be better. We're living through a very difficult time.

For the sake of my kids and yours, if you still haven't spoken up - do it. It's uncomfortable but it is the right thing to do, and this crap will not end until we ALL speak up. Even if it's just your group of friends or your kids' class.

Running for office is basically me bringing my worst fear to life. I put myself on display to be judged by my entire community (and beyond). I am floored by how many people from all walks of life have supported me with kind words, time, money, and love. Thank you all so much.
Will someone please explain to me what our elected members of congress do on a daily basis that improves our lives or benefits us in a positive way? It seems they only engage in rhetorical battles on social media and sow seeds of outrage. Then they fundraise off that outrage.
Normalize making health information private again. Sane people know they can catch covid any moment, and are living their lives according to their own risk assessment. We don't need to hear the details of you or your family's vax status/illness/etc. Stop.
In my observation, 9 out of 10 Californians are low-information participants in civic society. They're focused on professional sports, celebrities, Netflix documentaries, cars, anything but the frightening erosion of constitutional rights & norms. How do we get people to pay
For the love of all things holy, can someone explain to me how vaxports provide any benefit when the v doesn’t prevent infection or transmission? Am I insane? How is this a sensible thing to do?
The Biden Administration is set to finalize its "Independent Contractor" rule. The rule is modeled on Newsom and Julie Su's infamous AB 5 law. This is the most troubling example yet of California's disastrous policies going national. The livelihoods of millions of Americans are
In the last 30 minutes, I was yelled at for not wearing a mask inside my favorite lunch spot and informed that two of my son’s good buddies are moving to Texas. LA isn’t sustainable.
Today I learned Governor Newsom and the State Legislature (without a vote) used our tax dollars to hire a private law firm to file an emergency petition to keep a citizen initiative off of the November ballot.
I'm confused by this shtick. Obviously the Newsoms do not believe public schools give "ALL children the best start in life 🙌," or they'd be sending their own kids to public school. What are we supposed to take away from this photo opp?
