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.

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.

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."

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.

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.
So the University of Texas at Austin neither signed Trump's higher-ed compact nor rejected it. The deadline passed and UT just did not respond: www.texastribune.org/2025/11/17/u...
UT-Austin still silent on Trump compact as deadline passes
Most other invited universities have rejected the administration’s offer tying priority federal funding to campus policy changes.

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?”
