Being a trauma therapist amid this backdrop is especially taxing.

I feel like a sellout planning to leave the country but maintaining my own sanity so I can help others heal at the deepest possible level is kinda how my life works.

"Every accusation is a confession."

Ever think about how the right has been accusing the left of wanting to eliminate a large portion of the population?

I'm moving to a village in the Alps ffs

Elon Musk has the ability to freeze your bank account.

This just hit me and I'm fucked up about it.

Transfering my savings to a non-US bank today. Tips appreciated.

When someone comes to us and says, "hey, this thing you did/said hurt me," our instinct is to explain why we did or said that thing—and it is an avoidance tactic.

Instead of trying to understand the person we've hurt, we're saying, "you need to understand me."

"In this office, we're family!"

If you mean family in the sense that some of you could, at any time, make decisions that would fuck my life up in a meaningful and lasting way, then, yes, I suppose we are.

I've said this before and I'm going to say it again. For those of you who think the GOP is 100% loyal to Trump you are mistaken. They are 100% loyal to their positions of power and if they feel that is being threatened, you will start seeing them break ranks. We need to call the GOP, tell them we

Let's check back in a year on this. Extremely plausible st this point.
Trump wants to crash the economy to trigger a bail-out, so he and his ultra-rich cronies can snap up assets at reduced prices while everyone else flounders in debt. ☠️

Getting people to fear an imaginary hell is the best marketing scheme ever. Nothing else has generated more revenue in all of human history.

This + $80M Space X contract yesterday + $400M Tesla contract yesterday

They are not gutting the gov for efficiency. They are rerouting funds to themselves.
Elon Musk’s staffers have taken an additional $7.4 million this week in expenses, bringing the total to $14.4 million.

"Law and order," until laws get in their way

"Founding fathers," until the constitution gets in their way

"Christian faith" until the teachings of Jesus gets in their way

"We the people" until...

What would it be like to see your experience through the lens of love and compassion?

It comes down to caring.

We're worried because we care.

We're mad because we care.

We want to fight because we care.

Justice is about love.

A sane society is one that's rooted in compassion.

Let's not forget that.

Come from the heart in your efforts. Don't cave in to bitterness. Love harder.
