"Days after the Trump administration deported a sick two-month-old who's basically spent half of his life in ICE detention, Second Lady Usha Vance has urged Americans to help babies in need by donating to their nearest diaper bank. As if any amount of nappies could wipe up the MAGA bullshit. "Thank you for the outpouring of love and excitement as we prepare to welcome our fourth child,""
"Telling your husband, and his evil colleagues, to stop trapping toddlers and children in detention centers ( especially when they're pregnant); getting the administration to reinstate SNAP funds, which have suffered the biggest cuts made in its decades-long history because of the federal spending bill; or reinstating CDC programs that researched and monitored the maternal and infant mortality rates. While we're at it, maybe demand that federal agents stop pepper-spraying babies in the face, too."
A sick two-month-old was deported after spending much of his life in ICE detention, while Second Lady Usha Vance asked Americans to donate to local diaper banks instead of giving gifts as she prepares for a fourth child. Commenters argued that diaper donations alone cannot address systemic harms and called for ending child detention, reinstating SNAP funding, restoring CDC maternal and infant monitoring programs, and stopping aggressive enforcement tactics that target children. Diaper banks have faced recurring shortages, with Baby2Baby reporting a 500% increase in requests during the COVID pandemic, and rising costs and tariffs worsening affordability.
