An underappreciated CPTSD recovery hack is to create. Create anything. Art, music, food. It doesn't have to be objectively "good," or objectively anything-- just create. Make. Generate. Creativity oils every aspect of our recovery work. It literally reanimates our brain & heart.

Are you pissed yet?! Are you ready and willing to fight?! If yes, dm me, if no, slit your wrists and rid us of your cowardice. The enemy is here, the enemy is now. You cannot hide and wait. Stand up loudly for everyone, unapologetically, or go kill yourself.

Fuck the #Fascist #Dictator #Trump and Cronies in #ICE 8647 Real bad news #AlligatorAlcatraz immigration centre can stay open. At least we still have some place to put Trump once he is out of office. Do not get distracted FILM ~ FILM ~ FILM #GOODTROUBLE #Resist #VoteBlue www.bbc.com/news/article...

watching Paw Patrol with The Husband's niece and nephew......who is buying these puppies all this advanced tech...what's the municipal canine cop budget

The GOP sending a few hundred troops to a city where people get wasted in broad daylight is expert level stupidity. The gangs here will kill you in front of your mom, out of state attackers are destined for some PTSD. IF they don't even care about neighbors, what'll stop em from poppin strangers?

Project 2025 is TREASON. Period. Its entire objective is to dismantle democracy & implement KKKristian Nationalism. But it’s been around since 1981 & legitimized as political ideology. NO ONE EVEN SPOKE ABOUT IT UNTIL SUMMER 2024.

🚨Changes to Medicare🚨 You may have missed. 1/2

And the game of PEDO DOMINOES begins...

The President is a convicted felon DHS Secretary is puppy killer HHS Secretary is an ex-heroin addict and antivaxxer Education Secretary can't read Defense Secretary is a drunk DNI is a Russian asset WTF happened for us to end up here?????

Meanwhile, back in reality…

They are privatizing Medicare, which means they will profit off denial of coverage. Say no to the GOP or face loss of insurance.

who are you gonna believe, literally every scientist or the anti-vax whack job who would be yelling on a street corner at midnight if his last name wasn't "kennedy"?

resistance through art

If we really want to “make America healthy again,” we’d have Medicare for All.

The revolution will not be televised but it might be picked up on CCTV cameras

I call upon the state of IL to formally instruct its national guard that they are no longer subject to federal law under protection of the IL state government and its people ♥️🤍💙

Aaaaaand there it is. The Trump regime confirms what we all knew. Pam Bondi and the DOJ will redact all Republicans and Republican donors from the Epstein files and send Congressional Republicans only Democrats and Liberals per DOJ Deputy Chief Joseph Schnitt.

Any discussion about the success & failure of the Democratic Party that does not include foxnews is useless. DEMs have nothing like GOP's propaganda factory, which is so intertwined with that party, much of it is foxnews employees now.

Oh HELL yes

Those who implemented Project 2025 must be lawfully tried and executed ♥️🤍💙

Helping a friend get a gun when I notice something that made me both happy and fucking pissed. I dont know what level of irony it is that they are talking about banning trans people from owning guns while non-binary is still an option for gender on the form. What timeline is this? How do we switch?

🚨Rep. Crockett is 🎯. The 1A is not only under attack, it poses imminent danger to those who go against DT in voting to release the Epstein files. The U.S. government is at a crossroad. Are legislators going to protect a man they fear, or do right by victims? No moral ambiguity here.

If your government is dragging people off the street, occupying cities using the military and promoting disinformation about vaccines, a shutdown is exactly what you need.

NEWS: A 2-1 panel of the 11th Circuit has stayed the order to shut down “Alligator Alcatraz,” keeping the it operational while appeals proceed.

Useful idiots refuse to see that "criminality" is a status defined entirely by the state. If the state can call anything it likes a "crime", even by "executive order", and no protections apply to anyone accused of said "crime", then the state can murder anyone it chooses.

We’ve seen almost all of this coming for about 20 years and the response from liberalism and the Democratic Party has essentially come down to “vote harder” and don’t do anything else. I’m not optimistic. Even if Dems somehow win in midterms it seems pyrrhic.

Chicagoans should expect a fed tactical team presence here that looks a *lot* like what we already experience from CPD: lots of investigatory stops, legal or not, probably some jump outs leading to car crashes (like half a dozen in DC so far?). It's not unfamiliar. But it will be amplified.

#ICE Keep up the good work people we are getting under their skin.

Eventually (maybe already) people will grow so disillusioned with American society they will believe hard work is irrelevant; that the only way to get ahead is to cheat others, or steal, or lie. And that will beget more govt crackdowns, which will become a self-fulfilling prophecy for autocracy.

Pritzker: It appears they are amassing ICE officers… It’s been reported that about 300 officers are planning to come in and do what they did in LA — terrorize neighborhoods and cause mayhem. Their plan is to create enough chaos on the ground that troops will have to be called in

Kennedy’s vaccine crusade isn’t about health...it’s about sowing chaos. Confusion equals control. Repeat until it’s tattooed on your brain: It. Is. Part. Of. The. Op. To. Destabilize. The. United. States.

WARNER: Do you accept the fact that 1 million Americans died from covid? RFK Jr: I don't know how many died W: You're the secretary of health and human services. You don't have any idea how many Americans died from covid? RFK Jr: I don't think anybody knows that W: How can you be that ignorant?

Warnock: Clearly you have an agenda. It is a threat to the public health of the American people. It's clear that you are carrying out your extremist beliefs. RFK JR: We’re the sickest people on earth. How am I a threat? Warnock: I think that you ought to resign.

RFK Jr: It's gonna be the biggest infusion of federal dollar into rural healthcare in American history BERNIE SANDERS: Yeah. You know why? Because you're cutting $150b for rural hospitals, you're putting $50b back. That's not an infusion. That's a loss of $100b.

Not good.

If we're committed to building a successful anti-authoritarian coalition, there’s a lot we all can learn from the history of labor movements, here and abroad. Below are 4 lessons ⬇️

I am not a lawyer so forgive me if this is a very silly question, but if ICE is illegally abducting people in the town where I reside and the police department does nothing (doesn’t respond, no investigation), then can I sue them for failing to do their job?

"It's the unvarnished truth."

"I thought they were going to make me board the plane like they did with the other kids from the shelter, but they asked me for my name and told me I was not on the list." A terrifying declaration from an unaccompanied child nearly removed to Guatemala straight out of Schindler's List.

So after the Epstein survivors themselves said this matter wasn't a hoax and told their stories, the President told them they were lying. That's the headline every reputable media outlet should be running.

LA City Attorney: Businesses are empty and shuttered. The city’s law enforcement personnel have received countless 911 calls about what, for all intents and purposes, looks like a kidnapping. That’s what it looks like — individuals who will not identify themselves.

The utter exhaustion of overwork required to just afford to live in America makes it so hard to resist fascism. Which is of course the point, and how we got here, and why they will just make it worse on us all. Which is yet another reason our message has to be around basic income, free housing etc.

I'm genuinely disturbed. I'm living in a country that is passionate about defending the 'free speech' of those who would incite violence against minorities, but equally passionate about arresting people for calling a genocide a genocide.

"Now, together as survivors, we will confidentially compile the names we all know were regularly in the Epstein world. And it will be done by survivors – and for survivors. No one else is involved. ...Because history is watching – and so are the women who will come after us." Epstein survivor

People are way too comfortable saying unhinged shit to total strangers online, we need to shame and cancel harder

Many trauma survivors feel conflict when we realize what makes "them" happy or what "they" think of as a "successful" life is just never going to do it for us. We've been programmed to assume that means there's something wrong w/ us-- but there's not. It means we woke up.

You don’t have to know how the Revolution will happen. You just have to understand that it’s NECESSARY. The rest will come.

If we really want to build a wall that could help, we should build it around Florida before we all catch what they’re about to get.

Investment in affordable housing, universal basic income, and social justice will do more to address crime than police EVER will.

I think it's gonna get scrappy out here but it was like that for thousands of years and our forebears figured it out by protecting each other. Maybe we will have to do that again and maybe it will be a relief to go back to something that makes more sense

How to record ICE: 1) Record from a safe distance. DO NOT INTERVENE. 2) Put the DATE, TIME, & LOCATION on the video. 3) Ask for NAMES & BIRTHDAYS 4) CONTEXT, how many people were taken? What happened? How? 5) If possible, document vehicles used and agents, even if masked.

Just listened to an interview with The New York Times' Sheryl Gay Stolberg. Someone who attended prep school with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recalled watching him place metal cutlery under the dining hall table and holding a lighter to them. This was so the boy clearing the table would burn his hands.

Losers then, losers now.

🚨🚨🚨 1/2

The fact that the Epstein survivors had to give a press conference outside – and not in the halls of congress, shows you exactly who is guilty AF and the power they are wielding to try and silence the victims.

Go to an old cemetery. In the 1800s to 19oos section there is a whole section for children. It stops when vaccines and modern medicine started. These things exist for a reason

Next they'll be rewriting textbooks to say Japanese American internment camps were delightful summer resorts.

People say that and then go see legendary sequel 503 or live action remake of their childhood cartoon….

Such an odd thing to read in the newspaper www.nytimes.com/2025/09/03/u...

It's Time to Release the Epstein Files. People who fight this hard to hide something have something to hide. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Considering my day today ⤵️, this might be the most rock solid thing on the internet right now … #HealthcareShouldBeARight

These are a gem. My old town had a tool library, my new town has a sewing library. Gifts. 🎁

Gov. JB Pritzker warned on Wednesday that a strike team of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents accompanied by National Guard troops or other “armed military personnel” could hit Chicago’s streets as soon as Friday or Saturday.

You know what I want? Normalcy Stability Honesty Capability Loyalty And a good night sleep None of that is possible when you have human scum destroying our nation. I want to wake up in the morning without checking to see wtf the idiot has done now I want to be happy I’m miserable

The 100 lowest-paying US corporations spent $644B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024. Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay. The typical worker at these companies earned $35k last year. Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $17.2M See the problem?

The Party for pedophiles. No two ways about it.

Democratic governors and mayors aren't trying to prevent federal forces from stopping crime in their states and cities. Having federal forces installed in our states and cities IS the crime.

Not at all. Not even a little.

Warning to MAGAs: A cult took you in. It happened to millions so don’t feel bad for that. Do feel bad for what you supported and actually did because of it. You were lied to and everything they are telling you is false. We are trying to pull you out of the miasma but this is your last chance 🇺🇸

I spent 10-20 years (who knows, really) figuring things out for when this was going to happen. The most surprising thing by far has not been anything that happened. It’s how little anyone cares. Anyone. Fucking anyone. Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined that. 🤷♥️🤍💙🇺🇸

You see how much love Luigi gets for his heroic action? Now imagine how much love you'd get if you ... a billionaire.

If this orange thing was elected & the takeover was legitimate, then why not just follow the Constitution? They have all branches of government. BECAUSE THEY KNOW THIS IS A COUP & ILLEGITIMATE. They had to rapidly demolish any systems that could prove their TREASON or expose them. It’s that simple.

It's not normal for an American president to send troops to American cities in times of peace. Chicago, document what you see and be loud for America.

There is no moral justification for today’s extraordinary concentration of wealth. It is distorting politics, rigging markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people. Closing our staggering wealth gap is crucial to the survival of our economy and our democracy.

Epstein survivors say they’re compiling their own client list. “We know who abused us. We saw who came and went. This list will be survivor-led—for survivors”

Breaking: Peaceful activists, many with disabilities, are being arrested at the Capitol right now. These individuals are putting themselves on the line to do all they can to save healthcare for millions of Americans.

Hungry Palestinian boy feeds stray cats 🫶 A child feeding the university cats in Gaza while no one feeds him 😢

The president is using the military to dismantle cities that didn't vote for him The president is using the military to distract from women speaking out against his and Jeffrey Epstein's sexual abuses. We are not living in ordinary times. Extraordinary responses are called for.

Chicagoans reject Trump’s proposed invasion of our city — and Chicago’s business community has been clear: no tariffs, no troops, and cut the chaos. The President should know that the people of Chicago, of Illinois, and of the nation don’t take well to brazen federal overreach.

🚨This U.S. combat vet was arrested for conspiracy to impede or injure officers after joining a demonstration against ICE — The demonstration was A MONTH AGO!!! 1/2

Who divides the genders? the oligarchs Who divides the people into races? the oligarchs Who divides us by geography? the oligarchs Who divides us into two enemy parties? the oligarchs Who divides the PEOPLE? the oligarchs Why? So we never unite to KILL them all

Shout out to every trauma survivor reading this who is choosing a life path that the people who happen to share our name & DNA neither understand nor approve of. If they don't get it, that's probably a good sign.

I recently visited an ICE detention center with just outside of Chicago. Kidnapping people off the streets isn’t keeping us any more safe. Let’s close this facility and all the other ones like it down.

In US history, when people win rights or visibility, the backlash by white supremos is deadly. We saw it with Jim Crow. We saw it in the Civil Rights movement. We saw it after #MeToo. We saw it after Obamacare. We saw it with George Floyd. We saw it after the pandemic. We see it with Palestine.

The objective is simple: make our enemy so terrified of us they run away and never come back, and they write stories about us in legend so their ancestors never come back either. Get. Fucked. MAGA God bless America! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 ♥️🤍💙

Trauma survivors often dissociate not just because what happened was awful-- it's also because we tend to be self-aware & sensitive in ways many don't understand. It's hard to pay bills & make breakfast when you're acutely aware of how tragic & beautiful every second & breath is.

RFK Jr looks like that one guy in every zombie movie who gets bitten but refuses to disclose it out of stubborn egotistical idiot selfishness, all while getting progressively clammier and more unhinged, until he finally goes full monster and gets spectacularly killed
