Late diagnosed AuDHD with multiple chronic illnesses. I will likely say something that's not quite right, so please be patient with me. My brain goes faster than my mouth does, and I don't get all the words right every time. Don't ask for my real name.

Trump confirms his plan to send incarcerated U.S. citizens to El Salvador. Can you hear me now? www.threads.net/@aaron.rupar...

I understand why people who have been working hard their entire lives and are only struggling more and more feel frustration over funding for programs they have been told are wasteful. Nobody has told them it is much more costly to leave addiction untreated.

What was that about not cutting Medicaid? www.axios.com/2025/04/14/t...

This number is just for the print editions of four UK papers. Imagine the stats on US print and digital editions of major papers!!

If the US government had honored treaties with Native American Tribes, how much federal land would have reverted back to tribal ownership by now? How much land would be safe from being handed over to oil companies or other corporations?

New: DOJ officials investigating the 8 police depts found: • unjustified killings • debtors’ prisons • retaliation against police critics • racial discrimination • unlawful strip searches • undercover officers having sexual contact with sex workers By @tophersanders.bsky.social @propublica.org

While getting a degree in behavioral science, I learned quite a bit about language and communication, as well as miscommunication. The main reason we miscommunicate is that we have a tendency to assume any misunderstanding is the fault of others. Here are some tips for healthy communication:

We absolutely MUST be honest with ourselves and each other about just how dangerous Trump is. Being honest allows us to create a more effective response and a better resistance campaign.

His name is Andry Hernandez Romero. He is a young professional from Venezuela. He is a makeup artist. He is a gay man. Andry was a target for abuse in his homeland of Venezuela. He was viciously humiliated daily — the victim of discrimination for his sexuality. He was also being persecuted for…

I don't think it's coincidence that every time that Trump is in the White House, my federal taxes go up to the point that I have to pay in hundreds despite taking precautions to ensure that extra is withheld. Somehow the poor paying more even though MAGA amoebas think we're ripping them off.

That sounds about right. The only time a study "found" a link between Autism and vaccines, that doctor used kids in his study without parental consent or knowledge and manipulated the results to form a conclusion that didn't match the actual data.

2nd Amendment activists would have a complete tantrum. But here's the thing, our access to the ballot is what protects EVERY OTHER RIGHT WE HAVE. It is far more crucial to ensure that the ballot is accessible for all.

Have you joined a Union? No Union that you can join? Create one!! #JoinAUnion

Please note that while this was very clearly arson, there is absolutely no indication as of yet what the motivation behind this act is. I have already seen some indications that it is going to be blamed on Pro-Palestinian protestors no matter what. Please keep an open mind.

The 5th Amendment does not distinguish between citizens and immigrants Nor does it provide an exception based on “Because the Secretary of State says so” It’s crystal clear “No person shall be..deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law” Marco Rubio is a thug

If I could physically handle working in a factory and have a part-time job that would work with a career in theatre, that would be fantastic!!

Folks, don't diss on my counselor. For the first time in over 30 years of therapy, I have someone who is actually TRYING and listening to me. You have absolutely no clue what qualifications someone has through a few lines or posts. I WILL shame you for this crap.
