Families go hungry while they eat well.
Parents ration medicine while they refill theirs without a thought.
They play power games, we pay the price.
They keep their pay and healthcare while we sacrifice.
How is any of this fair?

For years I believed if I worked hard and did things right life would reward me. That dream was never meant for us.

There's a moment between realizing something's broken and deciding to rebuild.
It’s quiet, and for us with ADHD, it's very uncomfortable.
But that's where change begins.

What if the story that built our lives, the story of the "American Dream", was never meant to make us whole?
My next guide, The Myth That Broke Us, is coming Nov 11.
It's for anyone who's ever felt betrayed by the dream.

My ADHD brain loves the chase. But sometimes the chase is the trap.
The harder I grip, the less control I have.
Maybe it's not about doing more.
Maybe it's about finally letting go.

Given the absolute Democrat crush across the country yesterday, grocery and other prices skyrocketing, and the massive loss of jobs in the past weeks, I would say this is 100% BS.

Trump is totally crashing out right now on Truth Social. He’s posting his vitriol about every 30 minutes.
The pinwheel of insanity never ceases, and you can’t keep an utter narcissist down when they live in their own little world.

Pathfinders: hours before 44M Americans lost food benefits, Trump threw a “Great Gatsby” party. Gold chandeliers. Champagne towers.
This isn’t politics. It’s utter cruelty.

While things continue to burn down all around us, I had a huge win today - Zephyr the cat jumped onto my lap for the first time ever, cuddled while purring, looked me in the eyes and rubbed his face on mine.
Does this mean I belong to him now, or just that I've been accepted?!
The cuteness!!!

Ever feel like the dream we were sold — work hard, play by the rules, and life will reward you — doesn't work for most of us with ADHD?
Maybe it’s not us that's broken. Maybe the story was never built for people like us.

Remember when America and the Allies defeated fascism, in a world war, and celebrated it with victory parades?
That’s what "antifa" means.
Being antifascist is being American.
Never forget which side we're supposed to be on.

Republicans: shut down the government.
Also Republicans: "Why are people blaming us?!"
Then: "If Dems don’t give in, we'll just fire federal workers."
Let me hold your hand while I say this…

Virginia is losing 3 rural hospitals due to the "One Big Beautiful Bill" Republicans voted into place.
This person is actively harming their fellow Virginias by "owning the libs".

The shutdown fight isn't some DC drama—it's about whether families can afford healthcare.
Without ACA tax credits, premiums skyrocket.
Democrats are standing firm to stop that.
This is about us, not politics.

Oh, look at this! The "scientist" behind the autism study Trump’s team keeps citing? He was paid $150,000 by plaintiffs suing Tylenol’s manufacturer—and a federal judge threw out his testimony.
