"Hey friends. I am writing this on Sunday. My daughter and I like to snuggle on the couch and watch dumb Instagram reels on my phone together on the weekends, and but yesterday ICE shot a man to death in Minneapolis, so I had turn my phone away from her to make sure a news feed wasn't autoplaying his murder before I could click onto cat videos. So, yeah. How are all of you doing?"
"J.D. and Usha Vance announced this week that they are having their fourth child, a boy, later this year. This is psychotic. Normal people are too sad and depressed and bloated to do anything but look at our phones and cry right now, and these sickos are actually getting off on it. The cruelty is the point. I hope their son has a good and safe life. Really, I do. But his parents?

Announcements of pregnancies among conservative public figures prompt anger and fear for the safety of future brown-skinned children. The parent expresses a wish that those parents lose peace over potential dangers. Celebrity conflict emerges when a son publicly accuses his famous parents of mistreating his wife and faking social media, juxtaposing personal tenderness with political outrage and satire.
