I'm a queer, nonbinary, autistic human who is also a psychotherapist for people like me.
I do a lot of fiber arts (especially knitting) and speak a lot of languages (especially Norwegian).

I am caught up on notes for once in my life and that seems to be blunting the Sunday scaries considerably. #therapistsky

Hi, sending people to El Salvador, if they're not from El Salvador, is not deportation. It's human trafficking, and this entire regime is complicit in crimes against humanity.
I hope I live long enough to see them all stand trial with the whole world arrayed against them.

"musk turned out to be an asshole, and I don't want to be driving a car built and designed by an asshole"
I bought a Tesla because it was fast like a rocket ship. But now every time I drive it, I feel like a rolling billboard for a man dismantling our government and hurting people. So Tesla, you’re fired!
New ride coming soon.

I 0% believe this specifically because everyone was told to destroy their documents at the same time on the same day with very little notice. I wasn't a fed long enough to encounter this procedure but I sure picked up enough to know that "destroy these documents NOW NOW NOW" is not SOP.
JUST IN: DOJ says the USAID email about burning classified docs has been "seriously misapprehended."
No docs are being permanently destroyed, just copies of docs retained elsehwere. It's part of USAID's exit from its office space. t.co/bHDtJXERw2

Teaching law without covering issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion is literally impossible. I hope Georgetown Law tells Ed Martin to pound sand.
The US Attorney in Washington DC is investigating Georgetown Law School, demanding that "if DEI is found in your courses or teaching in anyway [sic]," the law school should "move swiftly to remove it"
Federal prosecutors don’t control the classroom. This is a dark abdication of the First Amendment.

Aside from the obvious direct harm, what's so irritating is that a handful of spoiled ignorant assholes are breaking things that we all built together. They weren't content to own almost everything, they had to wreck what little they didn't own. It's vandalism on a mass scale and has to be punished

The goal is to terrorize federal workers into quitting. That’s it. Constant changes. Canceling work from home then closing offices. Laying off probationary employees. It’s designed to break the government. Then privatize it for profit. It’s not efficiency. It’s collapse. Only peasants will suffer.

Medicaid and related programs provide health insurance for nearly 80 million adults and children, but potential cuts outlined would leave millions with less money to pay for food and housing while boosting incomes for the extremely wealthy by 3.9%.
House GOP Budget Would Raise Health Care Costs for the Poor to Pay the Rich
The push to slash health care to pay for Trump’s tax cuts will come back to haunt Republicans.

They were never going to lower prices. They never cared about egg prices. It's the same lie as CRT. They want us chasing their bullshit while the real mission is to disassemble the government so the rich can get richer. They are on a mission to destroy it all. It's beyond a coup.
