The messaging problem is Kamala Harris announced a policy to expand Medicare to cover in-home healthcare on the View but it was more important to discuss whether she actually worked for McDonalds and if she was actually Black or not instead:
The “messaging problem” is Kamala Harris announced a policy to expand Medicare to cover in-home healthcare on The View & it got less than 30 seconds of tv coverage for the next month while pundits f’ed around. The messaging problem is white “supremacy” & complicity when everyone else hears it fine.

We are not being honest about why Rogan Peterson and Tate appeal to young men…
It’s not because they appeal to their greater humanity
It’s because they appeal to their lowest depravity

The journey from mental health “crisis” to being “okay” is harder than I thought. Discoveries of my “self” are so random and they have emotion(s) tied to them. It’s tough being fragile yet staying open for joy, sorrow, peace, pain, anger, fear, optimism, and weakness to just come in freely.

I had an elder that I was very close to. I became the one who wouldn’t say “no” even if I wanted to. Now our relationship is: I travel to do whatever they need, and they are always short tempered with me. And they are pleasant with all of the family who does almost nothing to help them. 🤷🏽♂️

Y’all knew that man was imitation Barack. His claim to fame is that Dr. Seuss speech.
SCOOP: House Democratic leadership is "very unhappy" with those who went beyond traditional protest tactics, such as outfit coordination and refusal to clap during Trump's speech to Congress.
Scoop: House Democratic leaders privately confront Trump speech disruptors
Roughly a dozen Democrats were called into what one source described as a "come to Jesus" meeting.

Congressman Al Green showed Democrats exactly how President Trump should be addressed last night.
Democrats ran a campaign saying “democracy is on the line” and now some Democrats are clutching their pearls because Rep. Green didn’t bow to Trump?
Which is it?

Democrats even *thinking* about joining Republicans to censure Al Green for having the courage to stand up while they sat down do not deserve to be able to generate a single fundraising dollar from a person of moral character ever again.

I remember in the 90’s people started saying: “You gotta let them hit rock bottom.” It was always about people on drugs. I don’t do drugs but I hit rock bottom. It felt like the end of my life. 3 months later and I am starting to understand that “rock bottom” saved me - the real me.

I don’t have to tell people anymore what they did to forgive them. Today I will tell them what they do to me that’s either unacceptable or will decide the behavior they receive from me in return.

I don’t blame anybody for what I accepted. I thought telling ppl how their actions/words hurt plus patience to allow them to change was healthy. I now know that no-one ever changed their behaviors. Whether romantic, family, friend, work, or church relationship. My patience became acceptance.

I know now that I taught ppl (family, friends, & work) that I would be who/what they wanted/needed as much as possible. And I taught them that I’d excuse hurtful/disrespectful behavior/words when I’m not who they want/need me to be. In January I wanted to end my life, not to die, just to escape.

From my perspective, I know I operate with a pure heart. I don't go out of my way to be mean or unkind or over the top. If me, existing as myself, making decisions I deem the best for myself offends you, that's not something I care to manage. U’ll always turn Orr or offend folks who aren't ur ppl.

I used to check all the time to see if my faves were here. They weren’t so I stopped looking. Some of them came over (after I stopped checking). Every time I stumble across one of them all I hear in my head is: “I’ve been looking around and you were here all the time! Da-da-daaaaa!”

Don't bust into people's mentions to say that something potentially good doesn't matter.
Don't bust into people's spaces to discourage them from fighting however they can.
