Missing the human voice wrapped up in letters, pauses, erratic pulses and messy minds.

To those who write like they speak, and carve the lives of their thoughts through blood, sweat and care... stay you.

You are the voices we need in this time.

I have to say it’s been a wild fucking trip to observe how the worst people in news will try to make themselves the victim and call you a bully as an individual simply for speaking out against your own abuse.

Truly, a wild fucking journey.

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

You need to resign. Women, & all survivors of sexual abuse will be working for WHOMEVER runs against you. Ambition, affluenza and sycophancy are not the qualities we need in our leaders.

Highly recommend given todays news. It's a 2016 documentary about Iran nuclear weapons and the US/Israel state-sponsored cyberweapon, Stuxnet, designed to attack the PLCs (essential for safety and control) inside Iranian nuclear systems.

Here’s the thing, if they are picking up folks working in the country illegally, I’m going to need to see some white guys also being arrested for employing people working illegally in the country.

Otherwise, it’s just racism.

Are we ready to start accepting the narrative violence we have all been indoctrinated by?

There’s a reason it’s the “messy” traumatized humans that were seen as pathological —if health is being a bystander to your own abuse—call me “dis-eased”.

What if our acceptance of the LIMITS on the range of debate was made more clear?

What if we knew our vulnerability to see WE TOO could be manipulated under certain circumstances, WE TOO too could be broke, or addicted, or OUR way of life upended over night?

Tell me I'm wrong?

Constitutional camouflage gives the illusion some SAFETY.

That order creates a FEELING of less vulnerability, as if the world is somehow predictable-making us feel safer—some more than others.

Yet, in fact, what I posed to my Constitutional Law professor decades ago...

RFK’s infantilizing eugenic MAHA promotions are an example of NEPO-blindness on steroids and will make little progress in improving American health. The science and biophysiological realities of embodied metabolics and trauma wholism make clear—👇

The #MAHA playbook is to promote what REAL women LOOK and ACT like, to put them back into one dimensional roles of the "nurturer" or "seductress". It's an element of #rapeculture that needs attention. #Fascism creeps in subtly through these dynamics see (@jeffsharlet.bsky.social & his substack) 👇

What if.....we recognize that behind every diagnosis labeled a 'disorder' might be a body that has ordered itself precisely as needed to survive?
