Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.

They don't care. It's more of an issue that they won't admit they were wrong, no matter what. Saving face is more important than a person's life. Very sad.

Yes. Have a lovely day, I am off to get candy for my kids' Easter baskets. And by kids, I mean my 20-something kids and my son-in-law. And yes, we still hide them too. Being a parent is a joy and this is one part of the fun.

It's "parental rights" as long as it aligns with them.
Stacey Blake (@staceyblake.bsky.social) reply parent
I have only seen positive results when the family is accepting and supportive. The results you are listing are what happens when they are not. I hope they see that before it's too late. Sadly, I don't have much hope in my state where there is such propaganda being promoted at high levels.
Stacey Blake (@staceyblake.bsky.social) reply parent
I believe you. They just aren't willing to learn/understand it. So harmful. And the whole family will suffer for it. As a parent, I can't imagine risking my child's well-being like that.
Stacey Blake (@staceyblake.bsky.social) reply parent
The idealist in me wants to believe the parents are doing what they believe is best for their child; the realist in me envisions precisely that, leading to an irrevocably damaged relationship. Can't imagine not supporting my child. I can only hope they see the support from others.

Imagine being a billionaire, more $$$ than you could ever need or spend…you could work on things like world hunger, cancer or Alzheimer's research, education…but instead you join in to destroy a democracy, hurting many people in the process, in order to make more money for yourself. What a legacy.

So much political discourse right now in the US is boiling down to "I didn't believe the bleeding person who told me the wolf at the door was dangerous to me. Because I thought the wolves only hunted them." And I don't know what people think can happen as long as that is still the conversation.

Yes they do. They know exactly what they are doing. Wishing the Rs would realize and do something to stop it. But it will be too late when they do.
