Saw a physician suggest the church could solve America’s mental health crisis.

History + research say otherwise: religion enforces conformity through fear, shame & control — fundamentally incompatible with health + thriving.

$The church cannot heal what it has shattered. Behind stained glass and sacred ritual lies a history — and present — of broken trust, fractured lives, and systemic harm. Community and healing are human needs, but they cannot be rebuilt on the shards of institutions that created the wounds. Research, and history, demonstrates that religion relies on psychological manipulation, authoritarian hierarchy, fear, control of knowledge, ritualized obedience, and coercive language to enforce conformity. This is fundamentally incompatible with, and inherently destructive to, optimal human health and thriving. #DoNoHarm #MentalHealth #OrganizedReligion #HumanRights #Trauma #GenerationalTrauma #Ethics #Genocide #FreePalestine #SenatorStuartAdams #UtahGOP #Predators #Trump$

Zelinsky is such an honorable leader, I'm glad to see EU standing with him and his people. Ukraine deserves better than this.

Krasnov and his minions are an embarrassment to America and traitors to our constitution, our people and our allies.

The government is being gutted from the inside. They are stealing OUR tax dollars, funneling them to billionaires and oligarchs. ICE is the new Gestapo. Guantanamo Bay is the new Auschwitz.

WE MUST MAKE NOISE. THIS IS NOT OK.
🔥 PROTEST. SHOW UP. TAKE A STAND. 🔥

🔴 Trump wants ethnic cleansing to build his empire.
🔴 Musk is taking over democracy.
🔴 Putin-backed oligarchs are infiltrating our government with OUR money.

🛑 If we don’t act NOW, there may not be another election.

🎯 Need I say more?

A bold political design exposing corporate welfare and wealth privilege, featuring a high-contrast black-and-white image of Elon Musk and Donald Trump on a striking red background. The text 'Real American Welfare Queens' calls out billionaires and government handouts to the ultra-rich. A rebellious, activist-driven design perfect for those who stand against economic hypocrisy and corporate greed.

🇺🇲QUESTION
AUTHORITY.
UPHOLD
LIBERTY.

🗽 Are USAF soldiers following unlawful orders? And being threatened if they refuse to comply?

"Just following orders..." will not be a valid defense for the violation of human rights.

In late January, two school-age children in Gaines County were hospitalized with measles. As of Feb. 7, there were 14 confirmed & six probable cases, with officials investigating more potential infections.
