My only thought is they had to keep the kids traumatized to keep them under control. Straight out of a horror movie.

Having grown up in the same religious cult as Shinzo Abe’s assassin, Tetsuya Yamagami, this cuts deep.

Parents are made to give everything to the filthy rich, ruling Moon family vs. their children's basic needs.

My article for Seattle news publication @realchangenews.bsky.social on the Loch Kelden or Denny mansion.

This 1907 home to the Denny family who founded Seattle was sold to the cult of my childhood, the Unification Church or “Moonies,” in 1973.

Nope. Yup. Lilith Fair Queen is back to own all the misogynists. She heard the call and rose up like Dark Phoenix.

You live in a church
Where you sleep with voodoo dolls
And you won’t give up the search

Couldn't make it through Mike Johnson's comments, which feel like the people trying to soothe the NXIVM victims, holding them down as they got branded with Keith Rainiere's initials near their genitals.

Video of his gaslighting side by side with the victims speaking out is truly excruciating 🤮

The flood of Epstein receipts boils it down to if Republicans "want" to do the right thing. Seems only the ones who got screwed by this administration or experienced SA bc "empathy is made up" right?

Flocking to Jesus in times like these only makes Jesus look bad. Haven't you learned that already?

Got these ads in the mail just before last week’s Mamdani win & immediately picked up on the sus.

The fear-mongering w/ dehumanizing language was giving one-dimensional, out-of-touch NIMBY. So I did a little digging.

Re: Nikki Glaser's controversial monologue on SNL

Yes, she joked about trafficking & r*pe. But I feel like some dissenting reactions were also tone-deaf to the nuanced informative nature of them, that I picked up on at least.

This was my comment to one such reaction video on TikTok:

“…a lawyer…accused the administration of trying to ‘leverage people’s hunger to gain partisan political advantage.’”

Hi, I lived under the mercy of a far right, super rich cult leader & this resonates 1000%.

They. Don’t. Care.

This is growing increasingly ridiculous and dangerous by the day. Please everyone, can we engage in the only action that ever works to overthrow authoritarian regimes?
