We don't know about everyone who dies in concentration camps in the United States, but we know of too many stories like this.

So where we are is ---praising White men for NOT getting involved with a child sex trafficker? That's literally all it takes these days

This demonstrates that these laws aren't about principle. They are about terrorizing people.

I wish journalists would do this more. Because it could be done for just about every issue out there right now.

"There aren't concentration camps in America. I heard they were thinking about one in Florida. But it's not so bad in America." - response to me by a potential therapist I asked to help me grieve what's happening. 😳 Ugh, how do we get people to understand what's happening and get them to care?

From the moment the last election happened, i have been concerned that their goal is nuclear war. The danger of allowing a demented narcissist with suspected frontal temporal dementia have nuclear codes is beyond a danger to our planet.

Texas AG Paxton Declares Therapists Affirming Trans Youth To Be Illegal And Child Abuse The declaration echoes his 2022 efforts to target parents of trans youth with child abuse, and may force conversion therapy on trans youth in the state.

I knew this was coming. And it's going to spread. It's not okay. We need to get families of trans kids out of Texas. www.erininthemorning.com/p/texas-ag-p...

Today, I submitted edits to a new essay that I wrote on disabled moms and domestic violence. Disability justice helped me survive. Too many disabled people are trapped in abusive relationships.

We can see that the GOP was never really pro life. It was always about controlling women's bodies. There are more of us than there are of them.

Or is he hoping to provoke a nuclear attack on Israel? It is a danger to the world to let the Regime continue.

He often accused the other side of whatever he is doing. So when he talks about Iran and nuclear weapons.....Is he wanting to use nuclear weapons against Iran? Would anyone stop him?

When looking at photos of people standing and clapping at a speech of Hitler, you know what name everyone who sees it calls those people?

When people were in concentration camps, and someone commented, what about childcare, you know how history saw them?

We need to accept that we let our country go too far for too long. This isn't just about MAGA.

Can we be real? We don't know enough of what has been done illegally by people here? Who is going to take the house of cards down here with more info? The DOJ? This Congress? We are the ones we have been waiting for.

If you can't discuss controversial topics or current events, what exactly are sociologists going to teach? What is higher education in this level of censorship?
