Individual medical model insurance approved “evidence based” psychotherapy cannot save us from collective problems that we pretend are individual problems.

Only collectives, communities can do that

4. Insurance is intrusive and destructive to therapeutic processes and most therapies now are designed to placate insurers.

5. Most people can’t afford therapy. Many therapists can’t afford to take insurance

6. Insurance costs are rising exponentially.

This entire grift relies on convincing people that they don't know how to do the things they have always known how to do, and ironically, if it works, we will, in a very short amount of time, forget how to do all the things we have always known how to do.

I have come to the idea that we have to collectively, brutally, ritualistically kill Target just to show capital that we truly aren’t fucking around.

This is a profoundly anti-Black country. Not just racist but ANTI-BLACK. It is foundational and everpresent.

The thing about so called low bars, lately, is that far too many people are failing to clear them.

The fascists have been and continue to fund high school and college anti-abortion groups. They've been doing it for years. The progressives and liberals give money to Planned Parenthood which does not fund high school and college pro-abortion/reproductive justice groups.

Respectfully, Congresswoman, you voted with Republicans to strip due process from immigrants and to praise Trump's ICE. This year.

Now you're upset?

Votes have consequences. Minnesotans deserve better.
ICE agents followed a Burnsville family home from the store, failed to present a warrant and entered their home with guns drawn. They detained 4 legal citizens who presented documentation, leaving a 7 year-old without parents.

A seven-year-old. Let that sink in. Trump’s ICE is out of control.
ICE agents detained four people from a Burnsville home, according to family members, including a 7-year-old's parents and the husband of a pregnant woman.

This is the Tufts PhD student who seized by masked agents on the street and jailed for two months because she wrote an op-ed calling for the school to divest from Israel.
BREAKING: A federal judge ordered the government to restore Rümeysa Öztürk's SEVIS student record after it was wrongfully terminated in retaliation for exercising her freedom of speech.

This allows her to fully engage with the opportunities of her PhD program.

Also, taking a break from social media for almost a week while vacationing in Mexico City was the correct choice!! 10/10 recommend.

In Chicago, a Nativity scene features a zip-tied baby Jesus and Roman centurions in "ICE" vests.

Near Boston, Mary, Joseph, and Jesus are absent from a Nativity scene, replaced with a sign reading "ICE was here."

It's all part of growing religious blowback to ICE. religionnews.com/2025/12/05/i...
ICE Nativity scenes: Churches reimagine Christmas story amid deportations
(RNS) — 'We know that Jesus was born into a Roman imperial occupation, and pretty much immediately becomes a refugee in Egypt, has to flee and faces political violence,' the Rev. Michael Woolf said.

Everyone wants to distance themselves from the poor because it feels nice to look down and say “at least that’s not me.”

It could be any of us at any time. That’s how the system is set up. Bills and financial responsibilities don’t stop because you can’t work.

There’s no shame in admitting it.

Often when people complain you are too ideological what they mean is they wish you would stop challenging their common sense view of the world.

Often when people complain you are too confrontational what they mean is that they wish you would stop speaking out against oppression.

Keep speaking out.

Considering the enthusiasm from the provosts on display upon the initial offer, we should absolutely credit all the friction produced first and foremost by students, but also alumni, staff, and faculty, in pushing them away from proud compliance.

THIS year I am reclaiming my time off and going to a yoga retreat center in Western Mass! no family, just myself and vibes. So excited for the rejuvenation and tranquility.
Actually in the spirit of this conversation, what’s a decision you made about a past Thanksgiving holiday that really paid off? I think people often feel trapped by their lives. Sharing our experiences can liberate us from that sense of claustrophobia.
On the most recent episode of VIBE CHECK, we answer listener questions about Thanksgiving, most importantly “do you go celebrate with the family members you don’t even like?”
