In case you haven’t heard: Women are suing Pfizer in a class action lawsuit because the birth control shots (Depo-Provera) have been found to cause brain tumors. 1 in 4 women use this birth control. And Black women are prescribed it at double the national rate.

🚨 BREAKING: Chicago residents are now following ICE vehicles, honking horns and shouting warnings to alert immigrants before raids begin. This is what community defense looks like — ordinary people refusing to stay silent while federal power targets the vulnerable.

There are few things more difficult than having to make a boundary when the behaviors of people you care about are creating hostility and chaos from their trauma responses and survival strategies.

Just spoke on Sky News UK about the realities of antidepressant withdrawal and tapering - why it matters, and how we can do better in helping people off medication safely.

Solange just launched a new library/archive with rare Black books & materials. Free of change, operates on the honor system, a free label is sent for borrowers to send back and you get to borrow books for 45 days. It's incredible, truly.

It’s abhorrent that a 16-year-old is sitting in the Allegheny County jail until October 1 with his mug shot blasted all over the Internet. This is yet another reason why we must repeal act 33 and stop requiring kids to be charged as adults.

Healing Justice is not about perfectionism. it’s about moving in as much dignity as possible w/ the mess. Its not about denying we have mess, or acting like we are above it; it’s owning our issues, and navigating them w/as much care, consent, accountability & grace as possible.

As we all become more dysregulated , the delusions get deeper. Ritual & rooted self reflexive practices are what all of us need more of.

You cannot prevent disability. I want people to understand that. Even if you eat healthy, exercise, and have access to healthcare. Disability can and will happen. Advocate for free healthcare. Advocate for better resources. Advocate for accessibility. Advocate for inclusion.

The American Psychological Association is deeply concerned about the Administration’s recent announcement on #autism. Promoting unsupported scientific theories risks fueling stigma, undermines public trust and distracts from real scientific progress.

Sunday’s Solar eclipse in Virgo is reminding me about the need to stay vigilant about protecting oneself from evil eye. The shadow of Virgo is EXTREME judgment / criticism / envy. For the ones who need to be reminded: make sure you’re keeping up with your protections.

Since 1995, antidepressants have driven nearly $200 Billion in global revenue for Pharma. Yet during that period, rates of poor mental health & disability have significantly worsened; especially in regions where ADs are heavily prescribed. Make of that correlation what you will.

Buying and controlling media platforms. Firing commentators. Canceling shows. These aren’t coincidences. It’s coordinated. And it’s dangerous. The @GOP does not believe in free speech. They are censoring you in real time.
