Last night I listened to a man rail against communism and socialism (which he used interchangeably 🙄) and then proceed to talk about how glad he is that his brain-injured son gets to live in government subsidized housing.

This is horrifying! Three 10-year-old girls in Tennessee married men aged 24, 25 and 31 in 2001. An 11-year-old who married a 27-year-old woman in the same state in 2006. Children as young as 12 were granted marriage licences in Alaska, Louisiana and South Carolina, while 11 other states allowed 13-year-olds to wed. More than 1,000 children aged 14 or under were granted marriage licences.

I am a parent of a 20-year-old college student. Trust me when I say these young adults are VERY knowledgeable and informed about what is happening in Gaza and the history of the region. It’s so insulting for the media to portray these students as clueless.

Michigan Republican legislators are caught on tape discussing the “end game” of banning ALL gender affirming care. While they don’t have the majority needed to get this done now, the vibe toward Dems in Michigan due to Gaza is pretty bad. And this is why Rs so frequently get what they want: oppressed groups are often put into positions where they end up fighting each other. https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/ohio-michigan-republicans-in-released

“These are not poor misguided but otherwise very nice people: they're fascists, and Donald Trump is where he is because he's giving them what they want to hear, while promising them social supremacy and vengeance. They WANT the end of Democracy.”

People just don’t know. The number of people I know who think it’s not serious, who think washing hands and being vaxxed is enough, who think the more you get it the better your immunity will be is just testament to the monumental fail of public health we’ve all witnessed. And I have to believe that it’s ignorance, because I cannot imagine any parent not caring about this if they truly knew and fully understood the amount of damage repeat infections can do.

@sennoma ALL OF THIS! Because I’m a psychologist, people seem to think that I should be able to explain all of this away and thus be fine with it. Sure, I know every single psych concept and theory that helps us explain this stuff, but as a HUMAN it still just slays me. It feels so much more alarming when it’s at this scale and in real time.
