My depression and the covert abuse being engaged in by my family when I was a kid was ignored because my dad made good money and we had nice things.
There's a persistent societal attitude that all unfit parents are either poor or are physically violent which gaslights people into denial.

The most anti-free speech administration in American history strikes again. And btw, before you yell, please know that’s it’s perfectly legal to publicly post the location of any ICE raid or ICE activities. That’s protected speech.

Doug Weaver here explains really well how idiots vote away the rights of others they hate which takes away everyone's rights if they deny due process to some it can happen to anyone. " The country is only as free as the freedoms available to the least free individual" #BlueCrew

Victims of child rape have risked their mental health and lives to testify against Ghislaine Maxwell and also testify against Donald Trump for violent sexual assault as women. Yet GROWN ADULTS are too afraid of risking their proximity to power to demand the Epstein files or to directly condemn Trump

Trump didn’t “call for” the head of the BLS to be fired. He *actually fired her. Let’s get it right, people.

What an important point by @jkbjournalist.bsky.social back in February and ever more relevant.
"Pam Bondi was Florida's attorney general 2011-2109 ... So questions should be asked about why she didn't take up the [Epstein] case -- or launch a probe -- when she was attorney general in Florida."

A few thoughts about the NYT critics shakeup: Theater is one of the hardest of all disciplines to cover as a critic (or reporter). You need to know its language and history. And there's a ton you can and should do to educate yourself. But you can never "catch up." You can't see what you didn't see.>

They let you maintain the first polite fiction: he didn't *know*. But they uphold the idea that there is something out there *to* know— a fact about the intersubjectively shared language beyond what happens to be going on in the person's head.

Trump is Putin's closest & most effective ally.
Trump tries to do this quietly because a big majority of the republicans support military aid to Ukraine & sanctions on Russia.
Trump's undermining of sanctions on Russia & refusal to even sell arms to Ukraine must stop!

Agents of Red Sea co-conspirators and Trump business partners MBS, MBZ, and el-Sisi were secretly in the White House as Trump agreed to go to war with their enemy Iran?
How is this not the big news right now? How is this not bigger than every other story major media is covering?

One thing Newsom has shown is key to effectively deal with Trump & the MAGA propaganda machine: You must respond immediately & call out the lies. You can’t wait until hours/days later, then answer in a press conference, statement, scripted speech. All Dems should learn from it.
