Why would Children Protective Services react so cruelly when they knew the allegations were politically motivated? This is the mindset of the officials who are complicit in the relentless hate spewed by the GOP.

“Says”? Get it together, NYT. This is a knowable fact. There’s zero reason to attribute it, as though it’s a dubious claim or something low key in doubt. Is it not bad enough they were the target of this bullshit? Now they have to deal with your side eye, too?? 😡

This all happened because of ONE anonymous call to the Michigan State Police? The police made a CHOICE not to investigate and corroborate the information Whoever authorized the separation needs to be investigated and put on immediate administrative leave

It’s now okay to traumatize children to “own a lib?” Pete Buttigieg served his country proudly as a Naval officer, he’s smart, articulate and a potential Democratic candidate for president 2028. This is wrong. Four year old kids ripped from their parents for 24 hrs. Just wrong.

Yeah idk man. I think that maybe you’re not the guy to take care of this shit. That’s terrible and all. But maybe sit this one out. We don’t need your to McKenzie this country and there’s no reason for you to die over it
