I'm pretty sure all cops are just straight up sadists. I just don't think it's possible to have that job & not derive pleasure from humiliating & hurting people. If you're a cop & you don't on some level enjoy destroying people's lives, you're not gonna get far beyond clocking in — PolitiTweet.org

@neutronsoup It's rare a therapist works there for that long from what I understand, bc the cases & caseload are challenging & require lots of self care & the pay is low. My point is, I'm sorry you're having such a shitty time finding a good one. The system is fucked. I love you my friend — PolitiTweet.org

Danielle Muscato (she/her) @DanielleMuscato

@neutronsoup I go to the free clinic where I live, there's a lot of turnover there. It makes it difficult for continuity of care. But regardless, it took 6 therapists to find one I really clicked with. As it happens, she's been there 5 years, & we've been working together 1y. She's fantastic. — PolitiTweet.org

Hello all, a brief update for you ✊ Thank you! And here's the fundraiser link: https://t.co/c1lO4k98TJ https://t.co/rbRL1xSkPU — PolitiTweet.org

@centrist_proud I actually started physical therapy a couple months ago now that I have Medicaid! This feels like a pretty major two (or ten) steps back though. I don't think my pain has ever been this bad since I was living in my car in 2017. I'm currently at about a 7.5 on this scale WITH meds https://t.co/Nbv3j7DXqs — PolitiTweet.org

@SlimAtWurrk_ It all comes together when you realize their job *is* harassing anyone who isn't a rich, white, cis, straight man. Police don't exist to fight crime, they never did. Police exist to enforce the will of the 1% and protect their property. That's what they do. Paid for by your taxes — PolitiTweet.org

Danielle Muscato (she/her) @DanielleMuscato

@PureTrumpery @JessePariseau Not only that, but "crime rates" are nonsense stats that say whatever politicians & police want them to say, to fit a narrative that always suggests the solution is even MORE police funding…We need teachers, therapists, public transit. Not cops & prisons. https://t.co/Bsw7TFwsbB — PolitiTweet.org

@bradfwhite @DianeNashville It depends on what state you were born in. Some you go to court & show proof of surgery, even though surgery isn't always necessary. Others you just basically fill out a form saying "my gender on my license says I'm x but I'm actually y," & your doc or therapist signs off "yup" — PolitiTweet.org

I am a guitarist. I have students. I am a cook. I have gigs. I need to be able to feel every detail in my fingers to play with nuance. I need to be able to feel when I'm touching a hot pan with the edge of my hand or I will burn myself constantly when I cook. This is a disaster. — PolitiTweet.org

Danielle Muscato (she/her) @DanielleMuscato

I didn't want to believe it at first but it hasn't gone away in 5 days. I can't feel sensations on the outside edge of my left hand, starting from my palm, up to my top knuckle on my left pinky. I noticed it at the jail and I keep "testing" it and it's still the same. It's numb. — PolitiTweet.org

I can't sleep. I've been out for 12 hours & I'm still just shaking. I'm traumatized. My friends made steak for dinner & I've had no appetite. My chronic back pain is unbelievable from trying to sleep on cold concrete. I believe I have nerve damage in my left hand from the cuffs. — PolitiTweet.org

@VE6AEQ I've been out for 12 hours and I'm still shaking. I can't sleep or eat much. I'm traumatized. It will take me a long time to heal from this. I appreciate your support and kind words — PolitiTweet.org

@jonjpage Thank you for your support, Jon. Actually one of the things I did to pass the time and keep my mind healthy was think about many of the concerts I've been to, including when we went to see Regina Spektor open for Tom Petty a decade ago 🎸❤️ — PolitiTweet.org
