He was humiliated last weekend. This weekend he bombed someone.

My guess is there is a relationship between those two events.

Remember: No one can diminish your worth. You have supporters who will stand by you. I'm one of them.
Stay strong.

Yes. We knew this would happen.
Biden: "I want to warn the country of some things that give me great concern. That's the dangerous concentration of power in the hands of a very few ultra wealthy people and the dangerous consequences if their abuse of power is left unchecked. Today, an oligarchy is taking shape"

This time of year can be very hard for a lot of people. It's not all joy and good cheer. If you're in crisis, you can call the 988 lifeline for emotional support.

If you're struggling, I see you. Sending love and while only virtually, I hope you can feel it. You're not alone. 💛

Let’s be clear: the entire democratic world thinks the US healthcare system is a joke.

I’m both a health insurance provider and a subscriber. This is an important truth.
When they talk about privatizing Veterans’ care and Medicare, they mean allowing companies to provide healthcare for a profit.

But how do companies make those profits? By *denying* care to many who need it.

Don’t get fooled by the “privatization” label. It means “for profit” and YOU are the cost.

Important read.
This is the most-read piece on @theatlantic.com. It should be the most-read piece. You should all read it, even though it may make you sad. Here’s a gift link so you can read it.

It's so weird seeing people who claim to love America celebrating an incoming president who has committed high crimes against it, as if his avoiding legal accountability is a win for them.
That's how you know it's a cult.

Yup. He got away with it. But I believe in karma so, someday…
Delays, delays and more delays in instituting and prosecuting expeditiously the proceedings have or will result in dismissals. I told you this would happen.

Of course we all knew this. I discussed this on my professional social media sites trying to inform people who may not have known about Project 2O25. I’m a psychotherapist and normally wouldn’t post about politics, but this was different. Very different. And here we are…
President-elect Trump and his allies disavowed the conservative Project 2025 during the election.

Now, his transition team is turning to Project 2025 to help staff the next administration, sources tell @nbcnews.com.

BREAKING: Tulsi Gabbard is on a TSA watch list because of her suspicious foreign travel patterns

Maybe — just maybe, hear me out here — the nominee for Director of National Intelligence should NOT be someone who made a TSA watch list for her suspicious foreign travel patterns

This applies to so many things you may be struggling with. And especially to those who are reeling since November 6, keep these words in your heart. 💜
