I am so excited to share “Relinquished” with the world. The privilege and obligation of stewarding these women’s stories is one I have carried for years, and I feel it intimately. I can’t wait for you to read these stories.pic.twitter.com/kWKP4aGzj8

Important thread illustrating void of adoption data at which I am trying to chip away. When you consider that foster care adoptions are actually better tracked than private adoptions, “maddening”is only the beginning. The deficit of government data collection is unjustifiable.https://twitter.com/aleszubajak/status/1527314883498614784 …

Everyone is joking about this, but has anyone REALLY investigated the relationship between SB8 and the fragility of the Texas power grid? Do your own research, is all I’m saying.https://twitter.com/RBraceySherman/status/1527076374057566208 …

To clarify: mostly looking for examples with at least one living parent, so the separation isn’t due to death. (I get that my Fantine example confused this, but I was thinking of her effective relinquishment prior to her death.)

Hi
@daveweigel! I was at the hearing with Aimee, this witness. She testified for 6 hours like a champ—her first time before Congress. She’d been yelled at in nasty ways for hours and been asked the same questions several times—this is one clip. She was very clear and confident.https://twitter.com/daveweigel/status/1527006839073820672 …Show this threadThanks. Twitter will use this info to make your timeline better. UndoUndo -

Brainstorming examples of relinquishment/family separation in literature & pop culture that are not about formal adoption. (For example, Fantine sending Cosette to the Thenardiers in Les Mis to survive, but not Juno or Philomena. Maybe Edith on Downton Abbey as gray area.) Ideas?

“Positioning adoption as a replacement to abortion elides pregnant and parenting people’s reproductive autonomy and their ability to be agents over their own reproductive destinies.“ YES, all of this, congrats on a vital article

[This thread brought to you by a for-profit company stating they are “quickly becoming an important advocate in the reproductive justice movement” because they are working to make mifepristone (which they sell) more widely available.]

It’s ok if your work/scholarship/advocacy is “just” on abortion and not reproductive justice! We have PLENTY of necessary abortion work. It can be done in a way that aligns with repro justice work! But abortion work is not inherently repro justice work — don’t assume it is.

A reminder that “reproductive justice” means something other than “abortion rights and/or access” and the two should not be conflated! When you use them interchangeably, you are ignoring the Black women-led work at the heart of shaping repro justice theory and advocacy.

I spoke on both replacement theory and Alito’s reference to “the domestic supply of infants” for adoption. These ideas are deeply rooted in white supremacist ideology, criminalization of abortion, and forced family separation & sterilization of Black, Brown & Native women.https://twitter.com/velshimsnbc/status/1525868221404000257 …
