Identify your feelings and reactions. Journal them, speak them, but know that online spaces often are not the best choice for hot takes -- yet that's where we often find them. If you're finding community, choose spaces that honor your mental health needs.

Part of the reason this struck me is that I've had my head in the 1960s DOJ for a while.

The DOJ press secretary back then was a Pulitzer Prize winner who'd been reporting for twenty years (except when he was winning medals in WWII).

Today, it's the dumbest meanest airhead in middle school.

Everyone's focused on how idiotic Lindsey Halligan is, but don't sleep on the official response from Department of Justice spokeswoman Natalie Baldassarre.

It's just Mean Girls all the way down, if they'd written that script while huffing paint fumes.

But remember — it was “mild for children” 🙃

Just think about it.

Seriously.

They told you that covid infection would not harm children, and now long covid is the *most common chronic illness in children*.

Across the ocean in Sevilla, Spain, 100 people gathered to stand with Americans defending democracy. 🌍💙
From Andalusia to Appalachia, the message echoes the same: no crowns, no tyrants, #NoKings — ever again. 👑❌🇺🇸

Just a thought — 7 million people turned out for #NoKings. That’s more than the entire population of New Zealand (5 M), Denmark, El Salvador, or Singapore (6 M). An entire country’s worth of people showed up!

A very elaborate sign.

A woman wearing a “I will not keep calms and you can fuck off t-shirt”. She has a sign showing Donald Trump made up of words describing him: fascist, sociopath, bankrupt, asshole.

OMG! In Comey's motion to dismiss for vindictive prosecution, he points to others who have lied to Congress that were NOT prosecuted. Number one is JEFF SESSIONS when he said "I have been called a surrogate at a time or two, but I did not have contact with the Russians." 1/
