While white people are acting like life can’t go on after reading the #EpsteinFiles they’ve apparently never read a slave ship manifest. Look at the infants & children America trafficked. Locked down in slavers’ ships so they could later be raped by savages like Thomas Jefferson.

For a narcissistic abuser, your empowerment is an existential threat. Anything that increases your independence, confidence, clarity, or sense of self directly undermines their control. So It is fiercely opposed.

“Attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity.” Abiding wisdom from Simone Weil, born on this day in 1909:

I study authoritarianism for a living, so I do not say this lightly: America isn't facing an authoritarian future. America is living an authoritarian present. (A long 🧵) /1

The reason why covert and malignant narcissist get away with their manipulation so easily, is not because they are particularly smart. It’s not because their lies and manipulation tactics are “skilled.” It’s because their behavior is so detached from humanity that most people

Narcissists won’t just be abusive. They’ll do tiny, petty things relentlessly that are designed to get under your skin. They know exactly what they’re doing. And they know you can’t say anything because what they’re doing isn’t technically abuse. It’s not “bad enough” to call

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, residential school denialism is a loser movement: its anti-Indigenous content created by losers for losers who want to denigrate dead Indigenous children on the internet rather than learn the truth and build a more honourable future.

Gender-based violence is created and sustained by systems that continue to fail Indigenous women, girls, and gender-diverse people. Ending this crisis requires deep structural change, not symbolic gestures. #16DaysOfActivism #EndGBV

There’s a cruel paradox that scapegoats of narcissistic abuse often face. If you handle the abuse stoically — staying composed, functioning, keeping up appearances—people assume nothing was ever wrong. Your pain is invisible, and so is the abuse. But if the trauma catches up with

People don’t betray you out of malice, they betray you out of self-preservation. When survival collides with loyalty, loyalty dies first. Understand this and you’ll stop being shocked by human behavior.

I noticed that genuine people often prefer spending time at home to avoid unnecessary chaos. They choose peace and honesty over shallow relationships and draining environments. This does not mean they are antisocial, it means they are aware of what exhausts their energy and

Recovering from narcissistic abuse is a deeply personal and non-linear process, but survivors tend to go through several common stages as they heal. These stages are not always experienced in order, and survivors often revisit earlier stages as they process new realizations or
