The American military was a great example of a successful DEI program, now being destroyed by Hegseth & his dudebros & their toxic masculinity. The American military is also a perfect example of successful socialism in action, but it seems people aren’t ready for that conversation yet

I spent 7 years studying trauma, and this is what I know.
Trauma doesn’t end when the event is over. It reshapes the brain, the body, and the way we relate to the world. And when it’s not healed, it gets passed down.
That’s why kids who were beaten sometimes grow up to beat their own kids.
Why cycles of abuse, oppression, and war repeat in the same places.
Why a nation born from genocide can eventually commit one.
Unhealed trauma becomes legacy. What we don’t repair, we repeat.

All that modern Republican presidents seem capable of is destroying the economy, stripping rights from vulnerable people, and getting us into wars in the Middle East. The party is worthless, its members corrupt, and a large number of its voters seem to be delusional ignoramuses.

He cheated. We all know h cheated. “SMART Elections immediately flagged the move. But by then, it was too late. The machines had already been used in the election. And Pro V&V? The lab responsible for certifying them? It all but disappeared. Their once-public website became a hollow page. No logs. No documentation. Just a phone number and a generic email address.”

Biden being old made the front page of the NYT so many times. But Trump saying he doesn’t know if he should uphold the constitution was PAGE 13. Still doing whatever they can to support fascism.

2025-04-12 11:30:40 UTC

Fifteen Dems voted to confirm Caine for Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. They voted to confirm the guy who will do whatever Trump wants, including betray us, regardless of what he says. Dems shouldn’t be bipartisan about anything AT ALL because they’re giving legitimacy to this admin. I’m so fucking sick of not having a real opposition party.

2025-04-09 11:27:18 UTC

All these Americans dreaming of a time when factory jobs were great don’t realize that what was great wasn’t the work itself, it was the good wages and fat pensions, amazing benefits (thank you unions!), and a marginal tax rate that meant we could fund higher education (which meant affordable tuition), fund roads and public schools and hospitals and parks and so many other things. That’s how we became the powerhouse of the world.

My daughter won first place in both of her categories at the Illinois State Academy of Science annual meeting today. I am so damn proud she’s forging ahead as a woman in science at a time when both are being relentlessly attacked.

2025-04-01 00:10:36 UTC

My daughter learned today that she’s been awarded a $30k scholarship to go to graduate school in Europe (she’s getting a master’s in Forensic Medicine and Anthropology before med school). She’s worked so hard for this and I’m so proud of her, and I am SO FUCKING RELIEVED that she’ll be out of here for a while!!

I want her to stay in Europe because of what’s happening, and we align ourselves with Democratic socialism so she’d be very happy there, but both of us are afraid that I would have no chance of following her if migration to Europe becomes a thing and they start to heavily restrict. She’s my only child and the thought of growing old here without her near absolutely guts me.

2025-03-14 20:32:44 UTC

she’s doing a master’s in Europe starting this fall and the plan was to follow with med school back home. But if they’re closing admissions this year, competition next year will be even more brutal. I’m encouraging her to stay in Europe and see if she can get into med school there.

2025-03-14 15:41:57 UTC

I feel like I’m going throw up. I’ve watched my daughter work her ass off as a pre-med student. What is going to happen to all these scholars? What is going to happen to our medical ststem?

The Wall Street Journal is calling on Republicans in Congress to not only end PSLF for most government employees (by claiming the private sector “can’t compete” if you can fucking believe it) but to REPEAL what Biden did by counting the months during the pandemic toward forgiveness. This would result in loans that have been forgiven being reinstated. As if what is happening isn’t bad enough, they want Americans to be punished EVEN MORE. What the actual fuck is wrong with these people?!?

Oklahoma gov to high school students: if you don’t enroll in college or trade school or enlist in the military, you can’t graduate. How Rs keep getting away with calling themselves the party of “no government intervention” blows me away. This is targeting poor kids for the military—applying to college costs $$$.

I’ve been using a Bioabundances Far UVC light in my counseling office since September. I’ve been exposed to COVID in the office several times, the most recent being just over two weeks ago. Also flu! I’ve never caught either yet—and yes, I tested for multiple days after finding out. Far UVC works. I know I’ve talked about it a lot already, but I really wish it would become more popular with businesses so the price would come down—and more people could benefit.

I am currently digesting Masha Gessen’s “Surviving Autocracy” and I am both terrified and heartbroken at how easily our populace has been taken in by grifters copying historical tyrants. I can’t help but believe that this an absolute failure of our educational system, which is in no small part due to the rampant evangelicalism that has dominated this country since the 1980s. They have worked tirelessly to control school boards across this country & they have influenced textbook content for years

I know I should have been all calm and asked him to tell me how he’s doing “worse” in order to have a dialogue, but I 100% know it wouldn’t have made a difference. I am tired of trying to slow walk these people toward empathy and critical thinking.

If all you have to worry about is whether or not you are doing better economically, you’re lucky. That you would sacrifice women’s lives and their rights to bodily autonomy for what makes you more comfortable, you should be ashamed. And given that you just got a new car, I don’t think you’re doing as badly as you apparently think. And no offense, but never ask me if living in a country that is actively denying women rights would be better again.

My response (this was in a DM): First, yes, I am much better off than I was when that disgusting human was president but more importantly, I am the mother of a 21 year old daughter. I would live in squalor if it meant she wouldn’t be denied rights to her body. Women are dying due to Roe being overturned. A teenager just died in Texas—the 4th or 5th women in months—because side she was denied care for an active miscarriage. Check your privilege… 1/2

2024-11-03 12:32:37 UTC

A man who just bought a new sports car just asked me, “Do you really think we are better off now than we were four years ago?” The rage I feel right now is beyond verbalizing. How wonderful it must be to only care about your personal finances (which are clearly fine) while WOMEN ARE DYING. Also, that question is so patronizing, so condescending, as if I haven’t actually thought about how I vote. OMG I am so sick of middle aged white men.

Think about the horrible irony that the Supreme Court, the branch of our government created explicitly to make sure that political ideology does not interfere with the functioning of our democracy, is—starting with the day they stopped the ballot counting in Florida in 2000— responsible for the corruption of our democracy and the erosion of so many rights. The one branch we are supposed to be able to trust has devolved into a dirty, theocratic joke.
