Stubbornness in the face of despair is a form of resistance. The research backs this up. Sustained hope is a protective factor, not a luxury. Keep going. 💛

Any approach that centers community voice over concentrated power is worth taking seriously. That’s not partisan, that’s basic human dignity.
#HumanTogether
What I notice underneath so much of this is the weight of uncertainty. As humans, we are wired to need to know what comes next, our nervous system treats the unknown as threat. We’re not being dramatic. We’re being human.
#HumanTogether
So if you’re feeling isolated right now, that’s not weakness. That’s your humanity speaking. The need for connection is not something to overcome. It’s something to honor.
We need to #HumanTogether.
As a psychologist who studies trauma, I see a familiar pattern:
systems stop protecting people and start managing them.
And who gets treated as a criminal changes with it.
#HumanTogether
The most dangerous part isn’t the camps.
It’s everything that had to feel “normal” to get there.
#HumanTogether
9 million showed up.
The bigger story?
Tens of millions are realizing they could.
#HumanTogether
You can fire scientists.
You can’t fire reality.
#HumanTogether
Just a few of our newly emerging generals.
You can feel the shift when leadership starts showing up like this.
#HumanTogether
You can feel the energy. The pushback. The refusal.
And yet… we still don’t feel like we have our country back.
So what’s it actually going to take?
We must continue to #HumanTogether
Take a look at the face of hate. Tennessee is being terrible to its own people again. When a state starts building systems to monitor deeply personal healthcare decisions, that is not “good governance.” That is cruelty with paperwork.
We need to #HumanTogether
Powerful #HumanTogether
You can add friction.
You can’t stop momentum.
People are still getting to the No Kings protest.
#HumanTogether
Hmm. If your information comes in curated montages, everything can be made to look humane.
That doesn’t mean it reflects what people are actually experiencing.
#HumanTogether
As a psychologist, I think celebrating this kind of behavior—even as a joke—elevates the same disrespect for humanity that got us where we are.
#HumanTogether
Ooh this misses the mark.
Call out harm and abuse absolutely.
Shaming sex workers isn’t it.
You don’t have to like someone to support their right to work.
#HumanTogether
As a psychologist, I think people tolerate abstract policy.
They react when it hits their daily lives—gas, mail, groceries.
Or at least let’s hope they do.
#HumanTogether
Narratives matter.
“Can’t win” turns into “just did” faster than people think.
#HumanTogether
I’ll be there—with my gingerbread man inflatable.
Joy matters. Visibility matters. Showing up matters.
Let’s #humantogether. #NoKings
Not strategy. Just spaghetti-on-the-wall jurisprudence.
#HumanTogether
As a psychologist, I think seeing harm to pets often makes the impact more concrete. It brings the reality of harm home in a way statistics can’t.
#HumanTogether
We were regular CBS viewers. We left.
Audience trust isn’t elastic. Once it breaks, it doesn’t snap back.
#HumanTogether
Not just disappointing—expensive. The cost was trust, norms, and accountability itself.
#HumanTogether
We don’t build strong societies by making everyday people feel like potential targets. We build them by creating conditions where people feel safe enough to be human together.
#HumanTogether
Weakening the people who sustain you is a countdown to killing the engine that made you rich.
Mind blowing.
#HumanTogether
It was only a matter of time.
When systems are run chaotically, instability spreads.
As a psychologist, I see this as predictable: sustained unpredictability increases risk, miscalculation, and stress at every level, including global ones.
#HumanTogether
We’re not “saving money” here.
We’re moving the cost into people’s bodies, lifestyles, and children.
#HumanTogether
As a psychologist who studies systems and human capacity: this is predictable.
Give people a tool that increases efficiency, and systems rarely return time—they raise expectations.
So AI won’t fix faculty overload. It’ll likely redefine what “not overloaded” means.
#HumanTogether
The First Amendment won in court.
That’s not small.
Credit to the journalists and attorneys who made it happen.
Now comes the harder part: making sure that victory actually holds.
#HumanTogether
No kings.
Not in title, not in tone, not in behavior.
Healthy systems don’t concentrate power. They distribute it, question it, and hold it accountable.
That’s not politics. That’s how humans function best.
