Just want to reiterate: Be in this for the long haul. Don’t let Trump destroy your mental health. Don’t be outraged by every outrage. Channel your anger into productive actions and take breaks from politics.

Not seeking attention for themselves, a sane person would release a short list of possible cabinet members once a week or so. DJT makes announcements daily so that his name is constantly in the news and we are here jabbing about him. Not going to let him ruin my holidays.
Trump has put a target on the back of LGBTQ Americans, when you feel that threatened, then and only then tell us where to channel our anger, it’s not anger its literal fear.
I agree. He said to channel anger into productive actions, and I read that to mean fight or at the least resist. "Hide" and "run" are among the words that spring to mind for me. 💔
Some people really should hide and/or run. Since they (fascists) come for wypipo last we should be figuring out how to help those people who will be harmed first and worst.
I think he will have similar issues that Biden has when you tries to override state laws, the constitution invests a lot of power in the states. But again who knows.
And what about Abortion and GAC, I think that’s a leave it up to the state, so you are in more danger in a state with a republican governor than a dem one. I don’t think he can do Comstock with just an EO.
But what groups it’s not even clear what groups are in the most danger, that’s why AOC suing to get his deportation plans, if there are around 9 million undocumented and they keep throwing around 25 million who does that include?
It’s the most mindful thing you can do for yourself—care.
We must be prepared for the unexpected and we must be willing to stand up for those who cannot do it themselves. Caring about and loving yourself lets you care and love others. Do not let them turn your love to hate and despondency
YouTube was my place for news and entertainment. I can only be there 5-10 minutes. It all seems to be bad news. Then I come here for the calm and conversation. I feel safe here. I will never give up the fight!!!
It is sad how incredibly dangerous trumpism has been to our society. It breeds such contempt and hate…then drowns EVERYONE in it.
But you are right. The time is now to make a choice and no longer participate in it. Fight against it, but not be overcome.
This is exactly the reason why I set up my account here. Time to pull back into our own circle of influence, strengthen body and finances, secure our families, and strategize on behalf of vulnerable people in the community. #Safe #secure #strategize #surhtriver
Agreed. I've been preaching this to my 82 year old mother since Trump began announcing his cabinet picks. She's beside herself. We've implemented a CNN ban in the house.
Love you Steve!! 💙🙌🏼. Thank you! 😘
I learned a long time ago, those who irritate & intimidate you need a good dose of their own medicine. We need to be a PAIN IN THEIR ASSES! 🦾🔥
I have a feeling they’ll start eating each other alive. Get the popcorn ready and enjoy. 👍🏼😎
In meanwhile go outdoors, enjoy nature. Enjoy the friendship and love from your close friends and family. Buy less stuff, experience more. Avoid visiting and spending money in red states if possible.

Embrace fiction, music, nature, exercise, art, human connection.
And yes don’t treat every outrage as a five alarm fire.
But every outrage deserves a proportional reaction, otherwise we normalize things we really shouldn’t.
And smaller, unanswered offenses snowball over time into devastating outcomes.
You cannot just sit by and watch can you
Coming to NYC and LA soon.
Who's going to stop trump??

Unless our military stands up to Trump and his enablers and tells them where to go, we are in trouble.
Now it's time for family, friends & food for the holidays.
