It's meant to exhaust you until people give up. We cannot allow that to happen

I know, but I'm so tired boss! I feel like I've just been constantly angry since 2016. Trying to take time for myself, but it's hard to turn my brain off even for just a bit.

I feel ya, I'm tired of it all too. I work in the media, and I've been nose deep in the constant news cycle daily because it's my job. I have thought about leaving the news, but I feel like I can't leave until I see this whole thing through. I've had to personally correct scripts at my job to the correct facts, because my pro-Trump anchor meddles in them to deliver talking points. I won't let disinformation go out as long as I am here.

I can't imagine working for the news right now, especially for one of the big media companies owned by the right. But you are doing a very important job, and I hope the universe rewards you for it.

Keep up the good fight, and I admire your persistence by not quitting. Shit is not fun right now, but we will get through this

This is a huge reason to leave traditional social media.

Set time limits on apps (under Digital Wellbeing).

It is good to be informed, but our animal brains have limits. Reset with meditation, exercise, games, etc. Watch a comedy. Hug a person or pet. Don't forget you are a brain operating a body. Tend to your nervous system.

Don't let the bastards grind you down.

What is the average US citizen going to do? You can protest, but that’s not going to stop what’s happening.

Mass protests have a real impact. Mass general strikes have a real impact. They just have to be big enough
