Legal abuse is real. Abusers often weaponise the family court system to maintain control and punish survivors post-separation.

In my last post I explained how the Trump administration is narcissistically abusing the US. We are all in an abusive relationship with the White House. It's Domestic Violence. Signs of trauma, abuse is Hypervigilance (walk on eggshells). We're being gaslighted. We're being coercively controlled.

People who develop CPTSD in adulthood (yes, it happens-- a lot) are most often victims of coercive control & systematic deception by people or organizations they trusted.
Coming to terms w/ that kind of trauma involves processing grief, disbelief, & shame.

Allow me to address the elephant in the room:
The Trump administration is not setting the course for a four-year term.
The Trump administration is setting the course for an everlasting dictatorship.
If Americans don’t want that, the window to stop them is closing quickly.

Fear, and control of every aspect of the victim's life, comes to mind.
Financial abuse is also in play here.

Rising inequality is a wicked problem all around the world. It's the main culprit behind eroding democracy. We can't solve it without universal basic income and taxing wealth. We're fast approaching a point of breakdown where the rich will have to pay a much higher price than higher wages and taxes.
We are approaching a breaking point in terms of inequality. The rich should prefer UBI + wealth tax.

That Kamala interview was heart breaking because it's one of the few times that I've ever seen a national political figure say the system is broken and that trying to work within it to change things probably wont work.

Abusers maintain carefully constructed public images that starkly contrasts their private behavior. They may appear charming, respectable, and even compassionate to the outside world, while behind closed doors they engage in manipulation, control, and cruelty. #coercivecontrol

I have to say, I believe it's 100%. But 98% isn't anything to look away from. Abusers abuse, because they want total control and compliance over their victims. That includes financial abuse... in a huge way.

Rather than always condemning masculinity—we need an alternative that is about protecting, promoting, and empowering. That’s the kind of masculinity I believe in.

Universal Basic Income will empower all activists like nothing else ever could. All strikes become more possible, even general strikes. More people could knock on doors or even run for office. More people could donate to every org doing the work in the activist space.

I feel like how a climate scientist must have felt decades ago, watching something happen in real time they'd warned about, and being surrounded by people saying it's not happening.
AI is displacing workers. It's reducing wages. It's growing inequality. We need to tax wealth and distribute UBI.

Today someone asked how much I would pay in taxes to ensure everyone had housing & healthcare
I don’t know, whatever I could? This isn’t the “gotcha” folks think it is
If we taxed the rich properly, the rest of us wouldn’t need to pay exorbitant taxes to ensure every single person was provided for

Coercive control binds you with psychological chains so slowly and insidiously that you don’t notice them being placed. You’re not imagining it, and it’s not your fault.

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice.

If we create a basic income floor below which no one can fall, and set it high enough and alongside other universal needs like healthcare and education, then everyone will be more capable of becoming the best versions of themselves, which in turn means a society that is the best version of itself.
