Baby girls were the most abandoned. Boys carried the family’s name for the next generation. Nanfu Wang learned this lesson early.

"I was the executioner," a midwife says in the documentary.

The one-child policy gave rise to a family planning apparatus that was as powerful as the police. They weren’t allowed to take away babies, but sometimes they did.

In this Column One, @BarbaraDemick explains how she helped reunite separated twins.

@BarbaraDemick The individual stories that make up “One Child Nation,” illuminate an entire history of institutional corruption, medical brutality and pervasive misogyny, writes @JustinCChang

When the #MississippiRaids played out at poultry and other food-processing plants across the state, 12-year-old Juana had just started her second day of 6th grade. latimes.com/world-nation/s…
Federal immigration agents with guns had burst into the Koch Foods Inc. chicken processing plant where Juana's parents work and fastened plastic zip ties to their wrists before packing them onto buses and hauling them off. latimes.com/world-nation/s…
Juana and her brother did not find out about the raid until that afternoon, when their uncle checked them out of school at the end of sixth period. latimes.com/world-nation/s…

Trump abandoned his efforts to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census, but many fear that irreparable damage has been done. Officials are bracing for a record undercount, especially among Latino children. @kurtisalee and @sandhya__k explain: lat.ms/2MIZWVk
For decades, the U.S. Census Bureau struggled to count children under five. The problem is more severe for Latino children, who accounted for 40% of kids under 5 missed in the last tally. lat.ms/2MIZWVk
The impacts of another undercount will be far-reaching. Census data is used to distribute nearly $900 billion in annual federal funding. Latino children, who disproportionately live in poverty, are among the most in need of help. 📸: Callaghan O'Hare lat.ms/2MIZWVk

Cliff collapse is already one of California’s hidden dangers. Then there’s the sea level rise factor. lat.ms/2YWxuWG
In Encinitas, a 30-foot-by-25-foot section of a bluff collapsed, sending a massive, hot-tub-size chunk of sandstone plummeting to the sand below. lat.ms/2yOilb3
The bottoms of cliffs are being hammered by waves as the sea rises higher and faster along the California coast. latimes.com/sealevelrise

1 Who wants to throw down on another 'Hateful Talking Heads' Dive?

#WhosNext? Bette Midler. B/c she's clogging the air w/emotional pollution while her skeletons are tucked neatly away from public eyes.
Here's all I've got so far... what can you add to the mix?

@POTUS
@POTUS 2/ I only have some leads to follow, but here goes.

Like Alyssa Milano in my earlier thread, Bette is a CAA mouth piece. (CAA threw the public party depicting a child having sex w/a beast while onlookers wearing sex toys snorted cocaine)

#SaveTheChildren
@POTUS 3/
Along with this bizarre child sex ritual party, CAA was repeatedly accused of supplying Harvey Weinstein w/actresses and covering for him. Bette didn't seem to mind AT ALL as is seen in the smiling photos of Bette, her daughter and Weinstein. Eww...

Continued, the list of suicides, murder, some due to old age, as there may be connections. As I find more to combine from other Anons, and digging. Links included. My last thread broke up toward the end-I’ll continue from there. #QAnon #SuicideWeekend

Happy Black History Month!

I’m Tyree. A public historian who specializes in curating Black History exhibitions in museums.

Seeing it’s February, I wanted to make a thread of the shows I’ve had the honor of curating for @CAAMinLA ✊🏾✨
“No Justice, No Peace: LA 1992.“ Opened In 2017.

(Photos: Brian Forrest)
This exhibit considered a century of complex socio-political history that contributed to underlying tensions among Los Angeles’s marginalized groups and communities that caused the LA Uprising of 1992.

1) What was in the envelopes at GHWB’s “funeral”?

(This and other mysteries. It’s a grab bag today of guesses, research and ideas.)

It’s coffee time.
December 8, 2018.
2) Please bear with me. I am distracted for a few reasons:

—Lots to talk about and not enough time
—Left my headphones at home
—Chattering women here at left
3) Generally what seems important today:

—What really happened at that funeral? What was on those envelopes?

—Will Macron resign?

—We need a way to capture and safeguard all the research coming out. A database permanently safe.
