Witnessing people support the person who murdered your kids must be a different kind of pain.

She’s got my vote. Then we can discuss the parents who alienate their children from the other parent. They’re obviously not normal either. dear Jusge MaCkenzie of Dutchess County family court, and all of the other idiots who don’t put children first. I hope you’re watching this unfold because ultimately, we’ll be able to evaluate judges and their decisions on custody. the fact that NY is passing Kyra’s Law and knowing this is occurring shows how ridiculous NY is. https://www.facebook.com/share/19c6WwLMXG/

Watched Deadbeat. Couldn’t look away.
It follows fathers fighting to stay in their kids’ lives against a family court system that too often decides who they are before it hears their case. Wrongful accusations. Restraining orders that stick even after they’re disproven. Double standards nobody wants to say out loud.
This isn’t “fathers vs. protection for victims”, real protection matters and should stay strong. It’s “the system should get the individual case right.” Right now, too many don’t.
You don’t have to agree with every frame. Just watch it, then decide.

Summer Johnson spoke with quiet strength and fierce clarity. Summer is a leader who turns policy into protection for families. As a former Town Supervisor who strengthened fiscal responsibility, transparency, and public safety, and now Senior Policy Analyst at New York Families for Tomorrow, Summer brings frontline government experience and razor‑sharp policy expertise to every fight she takes on. Her work stabilizing local institutions, defending EMS, firefighters, and law‑enforcement families, and crafting fair, enforceable policy shows she does more than argue — she delivers real, practical solutions that protect children and support the people who keep our communities safe.
During her speech, Summer’s composure broke as she felt the pain of her husband’s fight for custody and the struggles of fathers across the state; that moment, raw and honest, revealed the deep personal force behind her advocacy. That pain fuels her daily work: turning family heartbreak into legislative action, holding systems accountable, and pushing for laws that protect parents and children alike.
Whether building coalitions, drafting policy briefs, or standing before state officials to demand safer standards, Summer’s voice is steady, principled, and uncompromising, which is the kind of leadership that gives mothers hope and lets fathers know a strong ally stands with them.

We don’t need more reasons to turn against each other at this point, the world already carries enough weight without that. Somewhere along the way, we started mistaking “likes” and ‘supportive comments” for actual TRUTH, as if enough hearts on a post could make any position right, or make our pain matter more than someone else’s. But feelings aren’t facts, and validation isn’t the same as being right.

As a father, there are some things I will never try to understand, and killing children is one of them. I won’t pretend to make sense of it because some darkness isn’t meant to be rationalized. I know this though, I could never walk through my front door having taken my children from their mothers. No anger, no grief, no hatred I have ever carried could take me there. Whatever pain a person is in, it can never be heavier than a child’s life.

Life is too short, too fragile, and too precious for this to be where we’ve landed. We owe each other, and especially our children better than this. That’s not a political stance. That’s just what it means to be human.

Trivia time, folks. 🎯

What do you call it when:

An attorney makes statements on the record with zero evidence required
A judge doesn’t ask a single follow-up question
A kid ALMOST ends up with 2 hours a week and every other weekend with a parent who did nothing wrong..and everyone moves on like that’s normal?

We call it “Tuesday” in Dutchess County family court under Judge Mackenzie.

Here’s the plot twist my fathers’ rights folks AND my DV advocate folks should both be uncomfortable with. An unaccountable system doesn’t protect anyone. Not the dad who gets erased from his kid’s life on an unproven claim. Not the survivor whose very real, very documented abuse gets waved off with the same “eh, good enough” standard.

Same broken process. Two different outcomes people assume are opposites but the root problem is identical: nobody’s checking the work.

If evidence doesn’t matter when it hurts a father, it doesn’t matter when it should protect a survivor either. You can’t have it both ways and call either side “justice.”

And honestly, there’s nothing worse than having false allegations thrown at you over and over, with zero accountability for the person making them.

So instead of guessing who I’m talking about, guess how many family court decisions this week were made with this little scrutiny. (Spoiler: I’m certain too many.)

MEN!! Rise Anyway.

To the men reading this, it was never supposed to be easy.

Long before there were labels for what we carry, there was resistance and resistance is what forged us. Every wall put in front of a man became the ground he stood on to rise higher. Every chain became a reason to break louder. We were not made in comfort. We were made in fire. Ali didn’t become a legend simply in the ring. He became one in a cell, refusing to bend. Men walked into dogs, into hoses, into ropes and still didn’t kneel. That is our bloodline. Not privilege. Not ease. Resistance.

When this unbalanced world attacks or when it tries to shame our strength, mock our silence, question our worth as fathers, as leaders, as men, remember this is the furnace. This is what has always built us. Pain is not our enemy. It’s our forge.

What we’re missing isn’t strength. It’s unity. It’s consistency. Every movement that ever changed the world did it together, in rhythm, refusing to scatter when it got hard. We don’t need permission, we need each other. One voice can be silenced. A thousand, marching in step, cannot. And brothers, please, I stress this more than anything. Don’t allow any modern day invented term to define you. Let no borrowed label speak louder than your own hands, your own sacrifice, your own presence in the lives that need you. Titles made up to shrink us do not get to write our story. I’d rather bleed on the battlefield than rot in surrender. I’d rather fall reaching than sit still shrinking. Win or lose, I will not vanish because a man who fights and loses still stands. A man who quits never did.

When I see the chaos in a child who never had a father steady enough to stay I understand my purpose more and more. And let this be known to all, not one force on this earth, not one voice, not one system, will stand between me and my children while there is breath in my lungs. Not one.

Be the man. Take the weight. Lead anyway. Rise, not despite the resistance, but because of it.
