You need to read this thread, because holy shit.
A story I found about Haiti:
In 1999, a group of Haitians were tired of political disorder and dreamed of a better life in the United States. So they built a small, 23-foot boat by hand using pine trees, scrap wood, and used nails. They called the boat "Believe in God."

The House passed legislation today that would charge doctors with a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison for providing transition-related care to minors.
Rep. Sarah McBride strongly condemned the legislation in rare personal remarks ahead of the vote.

House GOP passed a health bill without ACA subsidies.
Result: premiums set to more than double on average for ~20M people on Jan. 1.
CBO: 100,000 more uninsured.
This isn’t reform. It’s an affordability cliff.

Your reminder that you now live in a country where there are concentration camps & two classes of citizenship, & that the fact that this has neither led to ongoing mass protests nor ended this presidency is proof that @tompepinsky.com was right way back in 2017 about exactly where we were headed.

Very weird feeling waiting for the president to announce an illegal war based on total bullshit that they made up right in front of our faces on TV, almost like I've lived through this moment before

The GOP House just passed a health care bill that does absolutely nothing for the 24 million people about to lose their ACA subsidies. 📉
Leadership is busy ignoring the "premium cliff" while 4 moderate rebels just joined Dems to force a vote in January. It’s giving “too little, too late.” 🤡

You do NOT want to root for deflation.
The fact that the public *overwhelmingly* wants the actual price level to fall, and for prices to go down across the board is important info about public opinion, but also more than a little tricky to try to implement!

Coming up on #KTLA: President Trump says he wants to send $2,000 checks to Americans and they'll be paid for by his tariffs. One small problem -- while the president says he's raised $18 trillion, his own government puts the figure closer to $200 billion, which wouldn't cover half the checks

Don't let someone give you sh*t about "avoiding" "discomfort." No trauma survivor I know "avoids" "discomfort"-- they're often absolute champions at tolerating pain.
Dissociation is NOT a conscious choice to "avoid." It's a reflex many survivors find annoying & inconvenient.

You did not "build an identity around your pain." You were tricked into believing your pain IS your identity. Recovery is about waking up & realizing how badly you've been conned by trauma & a culture that blames victims.

Trauma recovery is not entirely about tolerating or pushing through discomfort. Building realistic comfort & safety into our lives matters-- especially when we grew up around people & institutions that valued neither our comfort nor our safety.

Massie: Previous presidents told us to go to war over WMDs that did not exist. Now it's the same playbook. Except we're told that drugs are the WMDs. If it were about drugs, we'd bomb Mexico or China or Colombia. This is about oil and regime change.

Trump on Venezuela: "Getting land, oil rights, whatever we had -- they took it away because we had a president that maybe wasn't watching. But they're not gonna do that. We want it back. They took our oil rights. We had a lot of oil there. They threw our companies out. And we want it back."
