We have *never* before seen consumer sentiment this low.
Line chart titled "Consumer Sentiment just fell to a (new) all-time low" showing the University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index from 1952 to May 2026. The index plummeted to 44.8 in May 2026, the lowest reading in the survey's 74-year history, falling sharply from 74.0 in December 2024. This marks three consecutive months of decline and drops below all previous crisis lows, including the June 2022 inflation surge low of 50.0 and the April 2020 pandemic low of 71.8, signaling an unprecedented collapse in consumer confidence.

Shorn of the legalities, the Admin basic position is that we can do whatever we want if we say it's national security (and that includes Trump lies about same, which can't be questioned) and we don't have to tell court or anyone why. That's tyranny, plain and simple.

New data from the US Treasury reveals that federal spending was $603 billion in February, which is $36 billion HIGHER than February last year under Biden. This suggests that DOGE has done nothing to cut spending.

The "system is rigged" narrative is one of the most powerful ways to persuade Americans. Nat Kendall-Taylor argues that to counteract authoritarian appeals, advocates must clearly explain who is rigging the system, how, & what real solutions exist.

Americans think the system is rigged. We need to start listening.
Working around the edges just won't cut it.

It's the 3rd day of #eatingdisordersawarenessweek and I thought it was time to address the role of #weightstigma in eating disorders. Any one, in any size body and with any type of eating disorder has weight stigma to address as part of treatment and recovery. #eatingdisorderawarenessweek

Politics is the only way we get out of this mess. The short definition of politics is: who gets what, when where, etc. We will not allow Musk/Trump to get everything. This country belongs to all of us, not two immoral men. Stand up, attend town halls, call Republicans, protest.

Apple has changed its maps to reflect the "Gulf of Mexico" to the "Gulf of America." These types of items are to deflect what is really going on including restructuring the entire government to only serve one person: Trump. This is autocracy folks.

Everyone who has a student loan, small business loan, grant, etc from the federal government needs to download copies of all their documents. Our government is being torn down and this is one way to protect ourselves.

My mother (76) is on a GLP1 and lost a sig amount of weight. She is more unstable in her gait and experienced a large decline of her ejection fraction recently. She was hospitalized. Why are we putting elderly people with cardiomyopathy on these drugs? www.technologynetworks.com/drug-discove...

Eating disorders are so deadly and affect so many children, adolescents and adults...and are sooooo underfunded and misunderstood. Why is that when so many have these disorders?

I share my journey post-eating disorder so that others can find hope and providers can prepare clients in recovery to continue to navigate diet culture, traumas, interpersonal issues, biological make-up, etc. Recovery changes how we navigate, not whether or not we navigate life.

A lot of people think everything will work out if we just play by the rules but don’t seem to recognize that rules only matter when everyone agrees to follow them and, well, that isn’t our present reality.

I have some BIG news to share regarding GLP1s that even cardiologists, as a whole, are unaware of. More to come - it's kind-of a "no duh" but super important to the health of those on these drugs and the FDA should issue a black box warning.

Steps to take: 1. Protect loved ones financially, logistically, emotionally—rocky times lie ahead. 2. Stay well-informed via reliable sources. 3. Continue to engage with your community; don't self-isolate. 4. Don't obey in advance. 5. Don't abandon hobbies/pursuits that keep you emotionally stable.
