As a survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Viola Ford Fletcher bravely shared her story so that we’d never forget this painful part of our history. Michelle and I are grateful for her lifelong work to advance civil rights, and send our love to her family.

Decision paralysis is a complex trauma symptom that many survivors feel shame about, because we're conditioned to believe "decisiveness" is what defines "adulting"-- but what actually defines maturity is meeting that symptom (& all others!) w/ compassion, acceptance, & patience.

There is zero shame in starting over. I don't care how many times you've started over, how old you are, or the bullsh*t story Trauma Brain is telling you about how you "should" be "past" a certain point "by now."
F*ck all of that. It's all BS-- Belief Systems.
Start over.

We create resilience by having our own back; & we have our own back by talking to ourselves like a supportive, realistic coach, not an abusive drill sergeant.
Anyone who taught you you have to talk to yourself like an asshole in the name of "tough love" doesn't get recovery.

I would like for wealthy people excited for tax cuts to sign a piece of paper acknowledging that every dollar they get in tax breaks is going to be paid for by someone else…either someone not getting healthcare or SNAP or some future person paying higher taxes to pay the interest on our new debt.

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

The Earth doesn’t “go around the Sun” the Earth goes in a straight line through an area of spacetime that bends around the Sun and I think that’s neat.

If you need to reset, reset. If you need to start over, start over. The "sunk cost fallacy" is absolute poison for trauma recovery. The world is full of people who are in their 2nd, 3rd, & 4th acts.
