I want to build a world where we don't need mental health therapists or psychiatry.
As a therapist, I work to make my profession obsolete. We need to build mutual aid and community care for mental health.
Mental health care is often used to enforce the status quo, the meatgrinder of capitalism.

Is the Epstein scandal really different from the rest of the sordid sexual corruption revealed by #MeToo?
Or do powerful men abuse women and girls whenever the means, opportunity, and desire intersect because the ruling class is like this?

$100 dollars a day to cover medicine, food and painkillers. To some of us that's a lot, to others it's a drop in the bucket, to Heba and her family it's vital, so if you're unable to donate share with me, if we can reach those that can donate then we are all part of the solution 🫂

France starved, Louis and Marie build magnificent buildings, threw fancy parties, and glutted on exotic foods. Too bad Trump slept through history classes. It didn’t turn out well for them, and I hope Trump eventually sees accountability.

Imagine having such contempt for the poor and marginalized you double down on your attempt to starve them.
BREAKING: DOJ goes to SCOTUS trying to stop a district court order that USDA pay out full SNAP benefits this month.
The First Circuit denied an administrative stay, but has not yet ruled on the stay request. And, CNN reported that USDA is already processing payments.
DOJ went to SCOTUS anyway.

Mike Johnson won’t swear her in & is dragging out the longest shutdown in history.
Congress is being paid.
They’re getting top of the line healthcare.
They’re not going hungry.
Yet they refuse to do their job.
