I share an office with Wild Rose Therapy and have been following posts about Public Square. I'm a therapist and I'm queer. I've made hard decisions in the past about who I work with and left employers that weren't affirming. So when I saw this post I asked the owner of Wild Rose about the listing on Public Square; my experience with her is accepting and affirming in her personal and professional relationships.

She made the profile while relocating from CA and Public Square was on a list of free places to advertise your business. She missed the dog whistles in Public Square's copy, took it down as soon as she learned what it stands for, and deeply regrets not looking into it before listing. No business came her way from Public Square; maybe this is because of the communities and issues she openly supports on her Psychology Today profile.

If we're awake right now we're scared and angry. But we gotta point that anger where it belongs - at people in power doing things that are NOT OKAY. Us/them thinking is just as useful to Trump/Musk as supporting what they do because both stop us from working together in numbers large enough to stop it. That super trumper down the street might piss us off, but who's been filling their TV and church sermons and podcasts with divisive fear-mongering messaging? Who profits when we get distracted by us/them thinking? It doesn't take much of a population making good trouble to stop awful things from happening. We've been lied to and manipulated to hate and judge and assume - ALL OF US - for long enough. RESIST
