The framework that Michele created & has been teaching for over 20 yrs, is bubbling over into social media mental health popularizers. And I’m so glad that this truly excellent book will be there as a resource, full of real research, not just tiktoks & infographics.

You know when you see someone you love totally in their own way, and it’s frustrating and you can’t get through? Enter the Vulnerability Cycle. Or when you’re stuck? Or fee misunderstood? The Vulnerability Cycle.

Deal Memo for Michele Scheinkman’s VULNERABILITY CYCLE, in which the couples’ therapist shares her framework to help couples move through their impasses, open communication & cultivate greater compassion to Grand Central Balance

When I first met Michele, I walked away from our meeting knowing that this book could genuinely transform how people relate to one another.

Mia Valentina Paz Faria A 7-year-old from Venezuela who was living in Austin, Texas Detained for 70 days “I don’t want to be in this place I want to go to my school.”

UPDATE: Staff at the ICE concentration camp in Dilley, Texas have begun raiding the dormitories of kids and their parents to confiscate and destroy letters from the children. This is in response to the ace reporting by @micarosenberg et al for ProPublica:

“I don’t want to be in this place I want to go to my school.”

- 7 year old imprisoned by ICE for 70 days in a concentration camp in Texas.

Today, after @propublica.org published this story, the camp was raided to confiscate letters from the children.

Texas Banned Abortion. Then Sepsis Rates Soared. ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis is the most detailed look yet into a rise in life-threatening complications for women experiencing pregnancy loss under Texas’ abortion ban.

Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%.

Savannah teacher killed in crash by man fleeing from ICE According to the Chatham County Police Department, Monday morning’s fatal crash was the result of a chase between Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and a suspect.

ICE killed a teacher in Georgia today when they chose to chase a man who posed no danger and had no criminal history.

I think it’s time for Democratic leaders to start saying “if you’re a pilot or ground crew involved in a deportation that was stayed by a judge, you’ll be held criminally liable for human trafficking.” Everyone involved in these flights should have that fear in the back of their minds.

This Week In The Big Picture The right loves to throw around the term “antifa” as though it represents a centralized leftist movement.

The right casts “antifa” as a centralized enemy, but it’s a decentralized network that’s exposed pro-Trump extremist groups for years. Tomorrow we speak with To Catch a Fascist author Christopher Mathias. Yesterday, Jay Kuo covered DHS expanding detention and communities fighting back.

Then he climbed back into his high chair and sat down, looked at me and said “helper.” I have never felt more loved in my entire life.

This morning, my almost 2yo climbed out of his high chair & went to the fridge to get milk. But he already had his milk. He already had milk in his cereal. I tried to offer OJ. No, milk! He insisted. Finally he said “coffee”

The milk was for me, because he saw me refill my coffee.

Childhood was a political project, centuries of activism carving out time and space for young people to grow and learn. It's an unfinished project, and the right wing wants it ended when it's barely even begun.
