This is always your best, first action when deciding to improve your mental health.
Gonna take a social media break. Please remember that you belong wherever you are, and don’t stop caring and watching out for one another. Each other is all we have. Luckily, that’s everything.

I thought Jesus preached the inherent dignity of every person,
and advocated protecting the rights of the most vulnerable.

To a powerful, corrupt institution, I guess human rights are just too scary.

Yes. I love this. There has to be economic power in these protests, and collectively we must begin to come to terms with using it and come to an agreement of what that will look like.

Today's "Democrats shouldn't make trans people a purity test" was yesterday's "Democrats should compromise on abortion". No one is safe until everyone is safe. No one is free until everyone is free.
