I am a feminist and former couples therapist. My book, Maybe it’s Him: How Couples Therapy Fails Women comes out next June. The book tackles the question, why does relationship inequality persist and argues that couples therapy isn’t the answer.

Virginia early voting numbers have now exceeded the total number of voters in 2022! Early voting continues through Saturday. It’s possible that turnout will be similar to presidential election years-which is around 70%.

I learned last night that the National Guard were present during last week’s Cornell protests in DC. Occupation is bad enough but an intimidating presence during a protest against sexual assault is pretty vile. If anyone says they were there to protect the protesters I will lose my mind.

Unmarked lunatics with guns attack your car when your kid is with you— you drive off too. Anyone who say otherwise is a liar. They almost killed the kid. What the fuck are we doing? 😳🇺🇸

Border patrol/ICE are using violence as a means of social control. This is the beginning, not the end and many more groups will be targeted. So far only small groups are pushing back. A massive non-violent public response can stop this. Only you can prevent fascism.

When Acret’s daughter Mackenzie was stabbed 78 times, her two year old was present. A neighbor ran into the house, saved the boy and then barricaded herself in her home. The child was covered in blood. Over a third of women experience DV and many children are witnesses.

Watched a More Perfect Union video on changing the tax code: a 20% tax on luxury items, a 70% tax on political donations, tax capital gains as income annually, tax large loans against stock, raise global corporate tax to 35%, and no stock buy backs.

Quoting Naomi Klein, “Fascism is capitalism’s threat response.” As our natural resources dwindle, the most important resource the ruling class has is human labor and increasingly violent methods of social control are needed for its extraction.

Any other therapists who are curious about Trumps recent claim that he was lifted out of the rubble by burly men after 9-11? This isn’t like his typical grandiose statements or obfuscations. It has a strange psychotic feel to it.
