Accepting an unwanted outcome is hard.
Especially when you KNOW the outcome will lead to unnecessary suffering and death.
I used #sublimation in this video. We’re gonna need every mature defense mechanism we can muster so I’ma teach ‘em all.

As a child psychiatrist, this makes SO MUCH SENSE.
I was taught phonics and I LOVE reading.
Conceptually, I’ve seen the result of three-cueing with kids; in a world where visual has become king, we’re handicapping our future leaders.

Why am I aiming to be #PsychiatristGeneral
1. I’m a doctor. We know Tylenol and circumcision dont cause autism
2. Diversity is awesome. There aren’t enough Black folks in that room.
3. These people have NO insight and they lack compassion.
4. Trust your doctor…because you can sue us.

RFK JR: There are many other confirmations -- there are two studies that show children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism. It’s highly likely because they are given Tylenol

She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.

Hopefully the whole Bari Weiss thing and Ezra Klein thing starts waking people up to the fact that corporate media is mostly populated with mediocre people who have made millions and gained unbelievable influence because they threaten nothing and tell wealthy people exactly what they want to hear.

Antifa isn’t an organization it’s just a word for being antifascist. By officially branding it a ‘terrorist group,’ this week, the regime can now call anyone they don’t like a terrorist and arrest them or maybe even murder them extra-judiciously. State terror was their plan all along.

I am heartbroken and furious over the shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis. Kids should be learning, laughing, making friends — not running for their lives on the very first week of school.
How many more children will live this nightmare before our elected leaders do something?

Chattel slavery was so bad that when we tell you how bad it in fact was most of y'all shut down and tell us we're making it up and pass laws against us ever telling you how bad it was again because your brains literally cannot handle how bad it in fact was.
"How bad slavery was" is worse. Much worse. Much worse than you think, much worse than you're taught, much worse than museums depict. Worse.
