I want to build a world where we don't need mental health therapists or psychiatry.

As a therapist, I work to make my profession obsolete. We need to build mutual aid and community care for mental health.

Mental health care is often used to enforce the status quo, the meatgrinder of capitalism.
Yo Seattle, check yo ballots
Damn, really an "every vote matters" situation goin' on right now. Holy fuck; hey if you're in Seattle, make sure you check that your vote was counted correctly!!!

If you live in seattle you NEED to do this.
There are 1,700 ballots that need signature confirmation. That is enough to change the election.

Go. Check. Your. Ballot.

France starved, Louis and Marie build magnificent buildings, threw fancy parties, and glutted on exotic foods. Too bad Trump slept through history classes. It didn’t turn out well for them, and I hope Trump eventually sees accountability.

Being on SNAP benefits for 17 years, I've NEVER been told I wouldn't be paid my benefits. NEVER. What is going on is BEYOND cruel. The ppl w/disabilities, ppl w/chronic illnesses & cancer, seniors already isolated, the 16M hh's w/children. WE REFUSE TO BE A NUMBER. WE ARE PEOPLE. WE DESERVE DIGNITY.

Imagine having such contempt for the poor and marginalized you double down on your attempt to starve them.
BREAKING: DOJ goes to SCOTUS trying to stop a district court order that USDA pay out full SNAP benefits this month.

The First Circuit denied an administrative stay, but has not yet ruled on the stay request. And, CNN reported that USDA is already processing payments.

DOJ went to SCOTUS anyway.

It’s been 6 weeks since Adelita Grijalva won her election.

Mike Johnson won’t swear her in & is dragging out the longest shutdown in history.

Congress is being paid.

They’re getting top of the line healthcare.

They’re not going hungry.

Yet they refuse to do their job.

Swear her in now.

BREAKING: Starbucks workers have just authorized a massive strike.

Union Starbucks baristas voted to authorize the strike by 92%.

Now baristas in over 25 cities could launch an unfair labor practice strike on Thursday, November 13th.

Undocumented immigrants don't get SNAP benefits.

Thet should, though, if they need it. Making people starve to death is fucking evil. Going across an imaginary line is not.

Huge shout out to everyone who came by the Defense Fund PDX street fair yesterday. It was a rousing success! Even bigger thanks to the organizers, vendors and donors too. What a wonderfully supportive community we have here in Portland, I am truly honored to be a tiny, little part of it.

The choice has been made to cut off SNAP benefits, on Nov. 1, which do not depend on the government functioning, to hurt those who depend upon benefits.
No one hand writes paper checks to SNAP recipients in normal times. The funds are disbursed automatically. The majority of infrastructure goes to means testing current recipients or processing applicants. The money clearly exists; this is a choice made independent of the shutdown to squeeze voters.
We have money for a $20b bailout of Argentina, but the acting director of SNAP has just announced that SNAP benefits will be cut off on November 1.

Just as a heads up, the ANNUAL budget allocation for SNAP is $100b.

Please amplify, those with a bigger platform than me.

It’s horrifying that the person running the US Homeland Security Twitter uses — and clearly knows — the exact same aesthetics, memes, and propaganda from fashwave, accelerationist, and Nazi Telegram.

It says everything about where we are.

There's a lot of people who have been disappeared
As No Kings wraps up, please remember the over 1,200 people who’ve gone missing from the Florida Everglades detention centre.

That’s 1,200 people who may be dead.

Who may be rotting in foreign prisons.

Who may be in an ICE detention centre sick or suffering.

We must demand accountability.

Good evening. We estimate that between 4.2 and 7.6 million people turned out for the No Kings Day demonstrations held around the country on Saturday. This makes Oct 18 very likely the biggest single-day U.S. protest event since 1970. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/second-no-...
