Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

I am so proud to be living in Virginia again. Gonna wear blue tomorrow to celebrate. 🎉 democracy wins

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

Hope the anxiety is better now 💜

This experience has shown me that I want to be a light, like how so many have been for me. I’m hoping to file for bankruptcy by February. And after that, I want to go back to school and become a paralegal and work with the agency that’s helped me survive this. I want to pay it forward.

I’ve also come to realize how privileged I was and am. I lived out of a hotel for a month, feared living out of my car, but I was lucky. I had help. I’ve seen so many people in my new city that are homeless. I’ve met people living out of their car.

There are still struggles I have to overcome too. I’m trying to save up money to file for bankruptcy. Financial abuse helped dig me into a hole I can’t escape on my own.
I’ve never lived alone before and the quiet moments are hard.

Wow, so much has changed in a month. I got an apartment. Which is probably the biggest accomplishment. I’ve made friends with a couple of the women from the domestic abuse support group. I’ve been able to see my family more than I have during the previous 4 years.

Changed my number. New email. No forwarding address. I am officially unreachable, I think!!

The world’s loudest cricket is waging psychological warfare against me

It’s over! Still have a lot of anxiety but it’s time for an era of healing and self love and joy!

In 3 hours I go back to the house with movers and a police escort to get all my things. I don’t think I’ve ever been so scared. But I am SO ready for this to be over!

So, after getting that all out, I’m still feeling anxious but also feeling a lot more positive about things. I won’t post pics until me and my dog are 100% safe, but I would love to make some friends on here. Promise not to trauma dump!

I’ve been up since 5 am. After getting like 3 hours of sleep. The feeling of being in limbo is killing me. I hate lying. But the thought of talking to her makes me spiral. I don’t know what to do.

I don’t know if I’ll get to meet with my case worker today. I wrote letters to her and her mom, but my family has very mixed opinions on if I should message them and right now I feel completely incapable of making a decision on my own.

The anxiety of having to talk to her is eating me alive. As evidenced by this thread of posts. I called her on Saturday. Yesterday I blocked both her and her mom so it would look like I didn’t have cell service. But she’s going to be pissed about yesterday.

I have too many possessions in that house and I refuse to just leave them. I bought so much for that house because again, I’d put myself further into debt so she didn’t have to have a feeling. I have movers already set up to come and pack everything and move it here. I just need the apartment

My hotel stay that I paid for ended yesterday. The agency booked me in a different hotel for two weeks with the goal that I’ll be in permanent housing by the end of it. And the emotional whiplash has been overwhelming. Because she still doesn’t know I left.

But I packed the essentials and left. That was Wednesday a week ago. I met with the agency on Friday. The original plan I had was I ask them for help with apartment applications since I have no official rental history. But they listened to me and told me that I wasn’t going back to that.

I lied about the trip. I said that it was because I needed to sign paperwork to close out my parents estate in person and then I was going to stay and visit with my family. And I didn’t know what to expect when meeting with the agency. Because I still felt guilty for reaching out to them.

Then another meltdown. This time she said if I ever tried to leave, she would kill us all. And maybe she meant it as a joke but it was the final push I needed. I booked a hotel stay and reached out to a domestic abuse agency the next morning.

I just word vomited everything. And that’s when my therapist said - you’re in an abusive relationship. Everything I endured for the past 4 years was abuse. And it took a day to process. Because she never hit me. We weren’t romantic. I didn’t feel valid.

I felt my sanity slipping. I had no one to talk to. I could only talk to my family while I was driving and I didn’t go out much anymore. So I made a therapy appointment and I guess I sounded unhinged enough that they got me in the next day.

She told me to go back to my state alone because she was never leaving the house again and she was going to rot in bed until she died. I talked her down, but the next day it happened again. This time over a light switch.

She came home from the trip to the phone store and immediately went into her room and slammed the door shut. She blamed her mom for everything from the T-Mobile guy asking questions to there being traffic on the ride home. She threatened to walk into traffic in front of her mom.

Then, the week from hell happened. 5 full on meltdowns in 7 days. Even though they weren’t directed at me (mostly), that was the breaking point. She got an iPhone because I have one & she wanted to share out locations. And didn’t get the phone she wanted. Because it wasn’t the most expensive option
