Getting pushback on saying the elected Dems are ineffective. The only thing they’ve done is send out scary emails and texts begging for money. If you want to fight the crap, find the groups suing the regime and give them money. Waiting for the mid terms will just guarantee that Trump/musk winn
Playing guitar loud enough to annoy my maga neighbors. Adding other hash tags here looking for communities that aren’t news. Weed has gotten too strong to be fun now, so that’s off the table.
Yeah, actually - on the really bad days I only watch Belle of the Ranch on youtube; short videos, to the point, calm, collected, no drama, hyperbole, or sensationalism.

I’m actually kind of enjoying getting rid of legacy media, buying nothing that’s not absolutely necessary, and revisiting paper books and magazines. This enjoyment is pretty mild and won’t last long but at least it’s something even though it’s rooted in spite.
Just watch two to three videos early in the day and check socials maybe two times quickly just to get a feel for what is happening. Then focus on doing other things.
Yes, stay informed but take breaks, prioritize self care, and treat yourself a little bit. You deserve it. When you get overwhelmed, stop. Make sure you are eating, drinking, and taking care of yourself. We will all get through this together. Just stay focused, stay strong ❤️
