Your life doesn’t suck bc of immigrants, or those who have been given rights you already had, or those who are working to survive just like you, or those who have decided their own pronouns. No, your life sucks bc you voted for a man who’s taking away your job, your SS, freedoms, and rights. #MomSky

We don't actually control our emotions. We only control how we react to our emotions. Even then, we can only react within the limits of the tools we have been provided.
Blaming people for feelings in response to their environment is now . . . 1/4
Our society is actually an incredibly punishing one. 42% of jobs pay less than $15/hr, which isn't even considered a living wage for a single adult anymore.
A large percentage of the population experiences . . . 2/4
Pain leads to emotional distress either in the form of social dropout (even up to suicide) or aggression.
People in positions of power direct that aggression toward marginalized groups intentionally. 3/4

"You want sympathy? Try empathy first!...You can still learn it." 👏
I get a little too angry when people are incapable of even considering the perspective of others, unfortunately. I used to take everything. Now I tell people what I think of them.
CEOs used to make 20x the wage of an average worker, and now they make at least 200x more. They sure as hell don't work 200x harder than their front-line staff!
So many are needy because some are incredibly greedy 🤬
