Hello, Butterflies! Migrating from the dark x to these lovely blue wings. I work in emergency mental health. I drove through all 50 states by age 30. America is beautiful and I fear our nosedive. I’m here as we brace for impact, and hope to connect with other welfare policy geeks and good souls. 🕊️

Our legal system is simply not prepared for the small ball bullshit we have now. It's only going to get worse.

the rest of your life is going to be at least partially defined by knowing how to avoid getting scammed. you share that with your parents and grandparents and great-grandparents and ancestors going back to wherever they came from.

A mother shares the terrifying reality that her internationally adopted son, raised in the U.S. since childhood, could be detained or deported by ICE because he was never granted citizenship. 35-70k adoptees remain in this legal limbo. Urge Congress to pass the PAAF Act. 🥚
I'm A U.S. Citizen. I'm Terrified My Adopted Son Will Be Snatched By ICE Due To A Heartbreaking Loophole.

If you still can, tell your parents everything you need to while they can understand. Your chance can go away in a moment.

I love how every artist has a different style that's wholly and uniquely them. even if ppl draw in the same general style, there's still just ✨something✨ about it that has the fingerprints of its creator and I think that's part of what makes art so beautiful

I am thinking that the guitar solo in The Cars’ Just What I Needed might be the most perfect guitar solo in rock & roll. It doesn’t matter where you’ve been, as long as it was deep, yeah.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

"Traditional health insurance" pre-ACA didn't cover pre-ex, had annual/lifetime caps, didn't cover important things like having a baby, led to many declaring bankruptcy when they got sick. Even then, ~50M had no insurance at all because they still couldn't afford it. They clogged ERs to get care.

i just read something about grief from C.S. Lewis and his book, “A Grief Observed”
basically, when someone you love dies, it isn’t just them that you miss, but the parts of yourself that person brought out of you that can never be brought out again.
i feel that with my dad.
