As a forever-feeler, this is my daily struggle.
one problem with finally feeling my feelings is it turns out I am actually filled with justifiable anger and frustration and am no longer able to repress it

Between the death of thousands of children in Gaza and the emaciation of our government, I’m filled with dread and grief every day. I can’t really even feel gratitude for my family’s safety because doing so seems callous and privileged. How do we come back from this? What can we do?

Just another of the countless examples of how this administration doesn’t care one iota about the death of children. Despicable.
This month an 8-year-old girl became the 2nd child to die in the measles outbreak.
Mere hours after attending the funeral, the U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary praised unproven treatments for measles, making no mention of vaccines.

Measles Is Spreading, and RFK Jr. Is Praising Quacks
For every semi-endorsement of vaccines, the Health and Human Services secretary seems to add several more nonsensical statements to muddy the waters.

This is a blatant human rights violation, and the translation here is that neither president gives a shit about the facts or laws. Don’t make the mistake of thinking your privilege will protect you down the road—I’d guess they prob don’t care about that either. #fascism

I am a mom and generally law-abiding citizen. But to be perfectly clear, I will step in and resist ANY ICE officer attempting to unlawfully detain or kidnap someone on the street. I have no qualms with getting arrested to protect another person’s rights. 🙌 #resistICE #standupforimmigrants

How does this not infringe on the First Amendment? Seriously, I’d love a compelling answer from those “constitutionalist conservatives” out there. 🤷♀️
Donald Trump has issued a ban on what he referred to as "illegal protests", insisting that schools or colleges that experience these protests will lose all federal funding.

Precisely. It costs nothing to at least pretend your business cares about DEI.
So... yes, people HAVE been boycotting Target. Apparently it costs next to nothing to pay at least lip service to DEI, but shucking it openly will burn goodwill in a very costly manner.

This is so, so disappointing—especially because Target has touted itself as a brand that values diversity. I love Target, but I hate this more.
