I don’t have the energy to just keep yelling the next four years. That doesn’t mean that I’m not incredibly frustrated, or angry, or upset. I just don’t want to do anything that will make my blood boil more.

Do one thing.. big or small each week. None of us can fix it alone. Frustration is futile. If we all do a little instead of throwing our hands up it will make a big difference.
High blood pressure is bad and doesn't fix anything. Hi Julius. Hope you're fine despite all this madness around? No doughnuts, no matter how delicious, can help either. Sigh.
I'm a school board member in my rural community. We have a new Indivisible group that met today. Over 100 people showed up!! I have them to contact not just national politicians, but also state & county. I've noticed that my GOP local pols deflect any responsibility as leaders to protect deomcracy.1
We need to engage at all levels. Anti-democratic actions are starting at the national level, but will coming local & for social issues once the blitzkrieg in DC is complete. The theocrats will come out to play. The racists will come out to play. Put pressure on those at local/state level 2/
Musk or Us Recess Toolkit Members of the House of Representatives will be back on your home turf from Feb 14th, through Sunday, Feb 23rd, it’s our opportunity to remind them who they work for. https://indivisible.org/muskorus
I just stay out of politics more or less, it’s too exhausting and irritating to deal with, I’m just numb to all of the shit going on outside of some issues
We all have been there. We feel your pain. Your feelings are real. It is our reality now. Take a break from politics, social media, news...
When you are ready, you can start to focus on what you can change.
Stay strong.
This exactly. Flood the zone, wear us down, and when they we no longer care they will do whatever. One thing I've noticed that helps too is to cut off the doomsayers. IE: The ones who are go "All is lost." they tend to make things much worse because they aren't contributing anything helpful.
I cut those out too. And I do small acts of defiance. I can’t do much else atm. I have an upside down flag in front of my house. Have an hoa so I can’t put up signs. They can’t keep me from flying a USA flag.
4+ Julius.
I don’t believe for one minute that he will just leave….like, see ya guys….off to be arrested again now…..
He won’t leave that White House until he is dead. IMO.
Self preservation! Nobody can stay in survival mode for long periods of time, it will disease you. Less input, productive output and balance. It's all we can do.
Our goal for the next 2 years is to do what we can on the local level. Make our corner of the world a better place. Hold our own representatives accountable.
We need to survive so we can fight in the midterms. We don’t have to scream. We just need to keep asking the questions needing answers.
I can pick up very quickly what's going on/the subject of a news post and don't need to read past a few lines. I find I can stay informed and my BP and anxiety level really thank me.
We all have to use our super powers to defeat this. Some of us will yell, others will write, some of us will litigate. Its a relay and sone of us will need to take a break. But to win, we have to keep up the fight. We've got this 🇺🇸 America.
I am terminally ill, but would trade that from being mentally wore down. If I could march I would. If I could fight I would. I would even die, but waiting isn’t an option for those who can.
This post made me so sad. I thank you for your courage and resilience. I have difficulty walking but you have given me reason to get into DC tomorrow for the March. 💕
I get it and agree entirely. I know it's one tremendous "battle," but we do have to pick out skirmishes to retain our sanity and health. I'm still "doing the work," but I'm attempting to keep my blood pressure down as well. An individual can't do much alone, but if we all combine our efforts...
I can't, and I'm not going to. I'm steering to as much positive and zero him/them as I can online.
Doesn't mean I'm not upset, aware, and doing what I can.
If Trump and Musk continue on their present path they are going to crash and burn. This is a certainty. Look at what is happening in Europe with Zelenskky calling for a European army and independence from Europe's reliance on the US. Vance is already backtracking on Ukraine contradicting Hegseth.
These fools always overreach and then have to backtrack to contain the damage. This is not possible with their actions in the US. Once the US people, and international partners, start to pay the price for their draconian cuts and aggresive tarrifs the slide to inevitable defeat will be rapid.
Many of us feel like we are still weary from the last 4 year sentence. With good reason! But it’s time to be wise, protect your sanity. And prepare to get back in. The world needs to hear your voice-you have something important to say.
Yep. Damn near got hospitalized because of the level of stress and anger I've been dealing with. I can't stress enough that if you can't find joy, or something to relax, all of that is gonna come crashing down on you and your health WILL fail.
Self care is so important right now. I had to find the dumbest show I could find and just zone out on the simplicity of it for a while. Our brains and emotions need a break!

Yes you & we ALL do.
And it dosen't take
yelling alone-it takes a whole hell of alot more.
Even small acts by many, the masses added up to the monumental.
Get up freind. Dust off.
You matter.
Not screaming this time.

I'm an educator, so there is a lot I can't do because of my location, but I fully intend to keep my students safe.

If everything just rolls off of you like a ducks feathers, they cease to have power over you
Then, after you’ve rejected their pathetic calls for a truce
Throw them all into jail while they cry themselves to sleep
I call it Nazi fireworks 😂😂
