♨️Hot Take! Taking away screen time is the modern-day spanking. It has to stop too. When screens become the go-to punishment, they start becoming power struggles. open.substack.com/pub/33daniel...
Children are the most oppressed group on the planet. That must change.
Let’s stop with the discrimination of children. Childism is prejudice against children that treats childhood as inferior, often shown through language, attitudes, or systems that frame being “like a child” as irrational, weak, or bad.

“.. male-perpetrated domestic violence costs Calgary approximately $58 million every year. 90% of that cost is borne by taxpayers. The remaining 10% is absorbed directly by victims, who have already experienced profound harm.”

The conservative principles are that justice is a mirage, they are colour-blind. For the new world structure to survive, we need to center justice. Center children. The conservatives run on patriarchy. It’s time for matriarchy to save the word. Extreme? Yep. And True. #Canada #NeverConservative
Bedtime was by far the most common conflict I heard from parents before Covid. Now, it is screen time. Parents use screens to control behaviour- threats, bribes, amd taking them away. Does that work? For who? #Screentime open.substack.com/pub/33daniel...
🛑 The abuse crisis in and by churches was never isolated. Nearly every story (including mine) of child sexual abuse, no matter the background, follows the same pattern. Power. Obedience. Silence. Child Protection without Rights is Control. And that is absolutely dangerous. #ChildRightsMatter
🇨🇦Meritocracy has no place anywhere, especially in schools. #NeverPoilievre open.substack.com/pub/33daniel...
What's interesting is Poilievre has no comment on the racism in his base! #cdnpoli

People around the world are catching on. Children’s rights matter. #Justice
Does Poilievre know that meritocracy hurts kids the most?https://open.substack.com/pub/33danielle/p/a-conservative-convention-vote-endangers?r=3u7ca&utm_medium=ios
Exactly. Won’t click the link because I am a CSA survivor. That site is festering with perpetrators and unserious politicians who support them.
Agree. X is no longer serious.
This is very Poilievre of him.
“One large British study from last year found that schools adopting phone bans had no better student outcomes in terms of learning, behavior or mental health than those without bans. In the US, as bans have proliferated, our standardized testing scores for youth have continued to decline.”

I wrote my MA on Empowering Children and Young People in the Digital World, am a parent practitioner & child rights consultant. When I see Haidt’s name I cringe. There’s nothing more effective than making kids anxious, than making parents anxious. I mention Haidt.. open.substack.com/pub/33daniel...
“Teen mental health in the US and Australia had already improved even as the book came out. And there’s the irony that Haidt, who used to deride safetyism, now calls for a massive expansion of state censorship.”
The internet suppression is real. Remember kids, the internet was invented by the military, for the military.
Since the government is about to introduce a social media ban for under-16s based largely on vibes – and Jonathan Haidt's shitty book – in the hopes it boosts its popularity (it won't), I'll re-up this.
If we're banning under-16s, why not over-60s?
Ghislaine Maxwell, a convicted child sex trafficker, gets gardening time, sports, therapy dogs, and spa products in prison.
Migrant children in custody are sleeping on concrete floors without enough food or clean water.
Our priorities are so fucked.
If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.
The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.”
It’s about control.
ProPublica received eight handwritten letters from children who have been held at the detention center that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was recently released from.
We'll let their words speak for themselves.
Can confirm.
