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.

My mother did not get her check in March. She immediately called SS and stayed on the phone for 3 hours. You know why? She has no other income & needs it for food, healthcare, etc. My is an honest person who would help anyone. This is an attempt to blame the poor.

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.

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.

My mother receives $1200 per month with no other income because she was a stay at home mom and my dad left her with nothing. She receives a paltry $20 a month in food stamps. I pay her rent & other expenses or she'd be on the streets. Its criminal.

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.
