After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.
Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel
Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

I remember these words by @sarahkendzior.bsky.social

"Write your biography, write down your memories. Because if you do not do it now, you may forget.

Write a list of things you would never do. Because it is possible that in the next year, you will do them."

Trauma survivors often write memoirs & otherwise share their stories— when they are ready & safe to do so to reclaim their narrative & express their truth, not to "punish" anyone.

Don't be silenced by accusations you're being "vindictive."

This is a great tool if you are looking for protests. I bookmarked it, so I have it for future reference.

There are a bunch of protests on the 19th. Let’s go!

I fight for human rights—yes, even for those who hate me.
This admin is making truth-telling dangerous.
I won’t be quiet while they strip people of dignity.
I’m a law-abiding, tax-paying citizen.
If I disappear, it wasn’t random.
Please come find me.

Pedophiles to their victims "Don't tell anyone or I'll kill your whole family".
The White House. The actual White House.

This is the attitude of every abuser, who is now fearful of the consequences of their abuse.

Wow!
This is perhaps the most outrageous thing I've ever captured. A moonbow (rainbow made from moonlight rather than sunlight), with snow (rather than rain) with the northern lights behind it. A Polar Lunar Snowbow?

I'm looking forward to attending this discussion. I'm working on creating a mutual aid group. I know our community desperately needs affordable therapy, especially with Medicaid being gutted.
For private practitioners or those offering group/individual consultations:

I've been working without a set fee since the pandemic and am relieved to be simply trusting those who come to me to pay what they can afford w/o a set fee

We can't talk about inclusive services without talking about fees

Stick it in the eye of Tom Homan. Learn your rights.

- if you are at home or you lock your door at school, a *judicial* warrant (not an immigration warrant) is needed.
- legal immigrants must carry proof. undocumenteds and citizens, not.
