Therapists who react defensively to therapy abuse survivors posting critiques of our harmful MH system are telling on themselves. Many think they are the "good" ones. But thinking that you are exempt from an abusive system -- or even the "savior" of it -- actually makes you dangerous.

Heartbreaking, infuriating, not surprising. Been violating federal law since 1987, socking away those with Intellectual & Developmental disabilities instead of screening for community services, despite it costing the state less to do so. Folks, ugly laws never went away.

If you can’t find a real human to teach you a language, get materials made by real humans & supplement by interacting with real humans. AI is a real threat to language learning. But I think more for Americans taking shortcuts to languages. International people know how to learn English to survive.

The United States never has enough money to keep people alive at home but always has enough money to kill people overseas.

We aren’t talking enough about how Republicans seem to see starting a war as a mark of a successful presidency. It isn’t just Trump. This has been going on with Republicans in the White House for longer than I’ve been alive.

What is the fault of my poor children that they are starving? Don't they have the right to live? We are not beggars. We are asking you to donate so that we can stay alive. My family needs $200 now to buy flour If you do not donate, we will starve to death. Vetted by Molly shah tinyurl.com/4yuyyun5

Getting hit with the fatigue again from the shot ... better than earlier, though. Going to get thanks out. I know I am behind. I was knocked flat. It is hard to describe how it felt!

In case you weren't sure how cooked Fox News viewers actually are, I have an uncle who genuinely believes that the city of Portland NO LONGER EXISTS because ANTIFA somehow "burnt the entire city to the ground."

Anyhow, obviously Congress is really busy trying to gut Medicaid, but it would be great if they could have a fucking war powers debate about Iran this week.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they? Hello?

Only one friend said, “How much is that mortgage and how do we raise it?” In response to what happened the other day. Nobody else cared. I knew I would not be able to raise it so I didn’t try. Did not get help with food, even. But I’ll remember that friend.

In spite of its owner, I must say the LA Times is meeting the moment with wall-to-wall coverage of ICE kidnappings and so many stories about how immigrants are the backbone of everything great about LA. Its staff has a much clearer view of the city than the New York Times does of NYC.

just saw a group of masked men stuffing masked ICE agents into an unmarked car, who were saying "we're ICE we're ICE!" but the abductors shouted to the crowd "no we're ICE!" no one knew who was ICE, so no one in the crowd said anything.

I saw a meme going around yesterday to start commenting "Not all men!" on ... positive stories about men and lolz I might start doing it. Great way to expose that they know EXACTLY what they are doing when they slide into comments sections with that BS. Applicable to all the "not alls ..." 🫠 🤣

Anti trans groups and anti abortion groups are funded by the same evangelical Republican groups. The alt right, anti LGBT, anti abortion, anti vax, conspiracy Venn diagram is glaringly obvious once you look at who’s funding it. It’s never been about women’s rights, just the far right.

1. Alert, and please share widely. A lawyer at the ACLU has asked me to inform my transgender readers that they should NOT be applying for passports right now - the state department has not issued guidance to comply with the court order and they are urgently trying to get them to do so. 🧵

If your spouse did not tell you they were no longer with their employer until you were logged in to pay the mortgage & panicked because: no paycheck, and then he suddenly had a mysterious meeting that he never mentioned, after canceling original plans ... wouldn't you feel like something was up?
