What did you do?  Were you installing/removing packages?  It's possible
that something important got removed.  Try running

$ sudo apt install trisquel

or if you use Trisquel mini,

$ sudo apt install trisquel-mini

and rebooting.

If you boot into a live session from a USB drive, you should be able to
mount your computer's hard drive using the graphical file manager and
copy your files to another medium.  If you installed Trisquel with full
disk encryption or an encrypted home directory, you will need the
password to decrypt the volume.  Otherwise it should just work.
