We can be disappointed in ourselves, angry at ourselves, furious about our past choices, frustrated by our symptoms-- without hating, sabotaging, or harming ourselves. Don't get tricked or trapped by Trauma Brain into thinking you "have" to punish yourself. Focus forward.

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

In every single interview I’ve done with international media since Trump took power I’ve been asked: Why are there no mass protests? There are many reasons, of course, but the utter refusal of the self-proclaimed “fourth estate” to communicate clearly what is happening has to be high on the list.
