And it's wild to deal with people who act like you're negative because symptoms of the conditions you live with affect you.

Strive to find Joy in each day. It's a way to practice self care. When we take care of ourselves, we can better take care of others. The more spoons we can hold together, the better we can organize and make some noise and good trouble. #NowWhatDoIDo?

The possibility of abduction by a sovereign and imprisonment abroad is one criterion that separates democracies from dictatorships. The Declaration of Independence called the British king tyrannical for transporting Americans, “beyond Seas to be tried for pretended Offenses.”

This is one of my daily "go into disassociation" reads about how callous and harmful people can be when they open their mouths. #RFKjr needs to watch the documentary #PatriceTheMovie on #Hulu or #Disney+. There you will meet Elizabeth, whose value is worth a million in friendship and educating us.

I’m reading up on what to do. I believe that multiple strategies for pushing back are needed. Look to history to see what is worked in the past, but look to those today on social media to give you a wider perspective.

If I may offer some advice: Let go of preconceived notions of what “rising up” should look like. Don’t overly focus on a big march in DC. Recognize that we’re already seeing significant pushback, it’s just not conforming to what we imagined it would look like. Be open to new ways of doing things.

This is what our country is doing to people. It’s worse than any drama I’ve seen. We used to welcome the tired, the sick, those yearning for freedom. I didn’t vote for the creep that separated children from their parents. This is how We’ll treat citizens who don’t support the president.

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific. If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

Fascists want us divided, uninformed and sick. A sick, apathetic population won’t put up much of a fight. Protect your health. Read local independent journalists. Support libraries, community fridges & food banks. Give to mutual aid. Wear a mask. Strong inclusive communities will save lives

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago. But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today. He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

Every artist I know is really struggling right now. Financially, emotionally, their confidence, in general. If you like an artist's work, support them any way you can. Buying their stuff or subscribing to their Patreon is great, but words of encouragement are also incredibly helpful.

Whole Foods, which is owned by notorious union-buster Amazon, is arguing that Trump's dismantling of the NLRB means the company doesn't have to recognize a newly unionized store in Philadelphia. Looks like Jeff Bezos's investment in Trump is paying off.

Living independently saves the government and society money. And the intent of the ADA was to allow us greater access to think that everybody else takes for granted. As far as I’ve been told, they cannot repeal the #ADA but I worry that the DOJ will no longer enforce the law when people violate it.
