Welp folks, I said I was going to ride Twitter all the way to the end and @elonmusk says that Twitter is no more. It was fun. Happy trails to you. Take care of your loved ones and see you on whatever is trendy next.

@Michael4Mo @CernochMatej If there is an increase in self-abortions, this will be tracked via increases in ER visits for side effects of these abortions, and estimates of total self-abortions made from predicate data on the ratio of self-abortions to ER visits. So, they won't really be non-visible.

@ThomBlank @CernochMatej Funny thing happens when you make something illegal. Dark markets open up that do what they can to address consumer wants. This is harder to quantify with abortion. A friend of mine’s mom self-aborted before Roe. But we don’t have visibility because now it’s off the books.

@CernochMatej @Michael4Mo Yes, perhaps they were just aborted in an adjoining state. I don't see any data on that, but there will probably be some shortly, now that we're a year beyond Dobbs.

The DOJ is now actively committing the crime of obstructing a congressional investigation. @SpeakerMcCarthy @RepJamesComer @Jim_Jordan If Devin Archer isn’t in the witness chair Monday, we better haul every SOB at the DOJ before congress EVERY DAY to make them pay for this. Lmk - I’ll come back to Washington tomorrow to do this. Archer is in that chair or Garland is. Yield me the time and let me ask the questions. I’ll handle it from there.

@SarahUnsicker My wife and I signed up for foster care classes before we found out she was pregnant. We continued the classes as they did have valuable information on coping with troubled children. I remember being told that if you foster a child and they don’t go to jail, you have excelled.

Beautiful story. The Ruckus is now in college. A small minority of former foster children make it to college. I wonder how many are taught to cope with their emotions like this one was?
Dr. Bryan Pearlman #MaslowBeforeBloom@DrP_Principal

What Is A Ruckus? My secretary called and said there was a ruckus in the front hallway. I was really excited to see what was going on. I wanted to know what a ruckus was. I learned that a ruckus was a small boy I hadn’t net yet. The ruckus was ripping our bulletin board off the wall, knocking over a table and cursing. He turned around & said, “What the F--- are you looking at?” He continued, “You’re fat, bald, and stupid.” I responded with, “You seem to be upset. What do you need? How can I help?” He moved a step closer to me and said, “Are you deaf, too? I just said you’re fat, bald, and stupid.” My response was, “I heard you just fine. Now I really can tell you are upset. What do you need? How can I help you?” He started crying while re-stating for the 3rd time (in case I missed the other two times), “You’re fat, bald, and stupid.” He then said, “I hate this stupid school; I don’t know why I’m here. I don’t know where my mom is. I hate my foster family.“ He reached his arms out. I asked if he needed a hug and he nodded. I then asked if he wanted to go to my office. He nodded. I let him know that “Dr. P” is here if he needs anything. He sat at my table and put his head down. He looked me in the eyes and said, “Dr. P, I’m very sorry for everything that I did. I just miss my mom.” I responded by telling him that I appreciate his apology and that I accept it. He then said, “I am also really sorry for calling you those mean things. I didn’t mean it.” We brainstormed some ideas of what he could do in the future if he was having a tough day. He suggested that he could ask to get a drink, ask for help, or just put his head down. I let him know that these are great strategies. I added that he could always ask to see the counselor or me. We then discussed how he could be on the lookout for signs that he was getting upset, frustrated, angry, or agitated. He said that he sometimes started to clinch his fists and his breathing changed. I told him that those were good signs and that the body often gives us signs that we are starting to get upset. We both agreed that it was so important to listen to our bodies. He asked if he could get his backpack and coat. I thought that was an unusual request for 10 a.m. I asked him why he would need his backpack and coat. He replied, “Because I’m going to get suspended like I did at my last school.” I let him know that there may be another plan. He scrunched his face and looked puzzled. I asked, “How do you think you could fix what you did this morning?” He thought about it for a minute or so and responded with, “I can pick-up what I threw and fix anything that I broke.” I let him know that this seemed like a good plan. He picked up the items that he threw and helped put the bulletin board back on the wall. I went over the plan for the next time and we made sure he knew what to do in case he got upset, frustrated, angry or agitated again. I said, “Since we’ve agreed on the plan, let’s shake on it to make it official.” He reached out his hand and shook mine. I let him know that he could go back to class. He picked up his bookbag and his jacket and started off to his class. I called his teacher to let him know that he was on his way. His teacher was so happy to welcome him back to class. I never had another problem with him. A teacher stopped by later that day. She couldn’t understand why he wasn’t suspended. “He called you fat, bald, and stupid.” My response was that it never was about me. I then asked the teacher if any of the comments were false. She looked at me like I was crazy. I let her know that I am fat and bald. Those were both true statements. I also argued that stupid is a relative term. She didn’t like my answer. How do you deal with colleagues who are fixed mindset, focused on punitive methods or who believe that alternatives to suspensions equate to being soft on discipline?

@Michael4Mo @NickBSchroer How about we see how necessary the mask mandates were? How many teachers and children in schools that didn't enforce mask mandates died of Covid?

@Michael4Mo @NickBSchroer Oh Michael, you're so hyperbolic. Because I prioritize children's lives, well-being and future, and feel that older and at-risk people can take their own precautions, that doesn't mean I think that people are expendable.

@Michael4Mo @NickBSchroer So, no, masking mandates in schools are mostly ineffective at stopping the virus because: - the proper masks are seldom used - they are rarely worn properly - it would be nearly impossible to sanitize the environment and surface, which also transmit viruses

@Michael4Mo @NickBSchroer And, masking children did adversely affect their ability to communicate, distracted them in class, and delayed their learning of non-verbal communication skills (in a generation that already struggles with effective communication).

@ThomBlank @NickBSchroer I wouldn’t say more harm than good. It was a lousy situation that was likely to result in terrible outcomes regardless of action. People were going to die. Some of those deaths were preventable. Our education system/societal expectations needs work, preferably flexibility.

@Michael4Mo @NickBSchroer So, we're on the same page, then. School closures did more harm than good, and the AG was right to fight against them.

@ThomBlank @NickBSchroer More factors were at play than just Covid and unfortunately due to lockdowns and school closures, some kids were left in harms way and not reported for situations of abuse and neglect. Yes, unfortunate is an understatement about how I feel about kids left in abusive homes.

@Michael4Mo @NickBSchroer Fewer entered foster care in '20 and '21 than in '19 or '18. I believe that's the opposite of what you were trying to show, and demonstrate exactly the opposite of what you were trying to claim. But, you aren't one to let actual data ruin a good false narrative, right?

@Michael4Mo @NickBSchroer 1. Do I think the future of our children is worth risking the lives of a few adults? Yes, I absolutely do. I am a parent, and I absolutely wanted my kids in school. 2. Foster care numbers actually declined during Covid, despite despite 1.1M Covid deaths.

@Michael4Mo @NickBSchroer And now we see the effect on academic achievement and communication skills that school closures and mask mandates had on children. He was right to fight those mandates. It's not right to send $30M overseas from your department when you can't even get peoples passports processed.

@Michael4Mo @NickBSchroer What are you even talking about? This is about $30M spent on this junk outside the US! This isn't even about your ridiculous DEI garbage in our own country, which would be bad enough. Takes 6 months to get a passport while the State Department sends $30M overseas.
