I have no idea what his problem is, but since anything you say to him will go in one ear and out the other, I think you should stop appealing to his ears and start appealing to his eyes: from now on, text him what you want so he has it in writing. See if that helps, and assess your next steps from there.
This would drive me bananas, too.

Parents or guardians who kicked children out of the house because of their sexual orientation would be charged with a hate crime.

Might be worth reaching out to the ACLU to do something about that judge.
Now that your ex has lost his punching bag, your younger son is likely to become the next target of abuse.

There's always some guy who makes this pedantic comment. It's such a weird hill to die on.

He died of COVID-19, not of being forced to stop using a human being as a punching bag.

"More deserving"? You talk about her like she's a lifelong criminal. For goodness sake, she's your daughter, and she's five years old!
If you can't view her as "deserving", if you can't love her unconditionally, then you're not ready to be her mother.

What you are doing to her is cruel. She is already struggling to adjust to a major change in her environment and is likely dealing with intense separation anxiety. By taking away the few comforts she has left in her life, you are forcing her to relive separation and loss over and over. Right now, you are doing nothing in her eyes to disprove your mother's claim that you hate her.

I always get the sense that people who throw that particular accusation around loosely are projecting.

I hate the child abuse ones. Even when they're obvious trolls.

Not gonna lie, I'm an introvert and a homebody, and I've been using the pandemic as an excuse to live my best life.
