Retired school librarian—slightly vintage, rarely quiet, and forever curious. I’ve traded shushing for speaking up, and I’m still chasing answers to the things I don’t yet understand.

I spent the day today researching & writing about how that man & the GOP effectively use DARVA, Deny, Attack, and Reverse Victim and Offender, which are the tactics used by verbal abusers to control their victims. Controlling the narrative is part of their modus operandi.

On top of increased work requirements, raising the work requirement age to 65, inability to access the Standard Utility Allowance unless there is a disabled person in the house which affects the benefit deductions shifting much of the administrative costs to states who can't afford the increases.

Thank you for keeping us updated. I have a page on our Indivisible where I regularly post wins. It's so important to get some good news with so much not good going on in our country. You keep the hope alive. :)

Local news is starting to connect the dots.
Start reading yours. Check letters to the editor. Ask around.

I live in the Adirondack Park. We're getting hit hard.

Can’t focus on the big picture? Start small:
Schools losing funding?
Libraries cutting hours?
Local grants gone?
Road repairs stalled?
Clinics closing?
That’s not random. It’s intentional policy fallout

If you watch the videos of him signing EO's, it is very apparent that he is not in control and is doing as instructed. We think he is playing us, but I think he is being played. If we can somehow make this the message, that he is a puppet, that we may be able to create a meltdown.

Thank you for asking. I made them out of pink cardstock and a postcard template I found online. The message is all mine, though. Feel free to use it.
