Keep your boundaries, but don't give people your hatred - that raises YOUR cortisol levels. Just back away, take care of yourself, and use your power to make things better.

"The lower courts’ and voters’ refusal to be cowed amounts to a calamity for a narcissist whose grip on power depends on fear and an aura of invincibility."
True. And the brave pro Democracy movement of activists and everyday Americans bolsters the courage of these judges.

If you're having a hard time, be extra kind and loving to yourself. Breathe. Notice something positive, even if it's small. Each day of our lives is precious, even when we're in pain, each day counts.

Federal Judge Jeffrey Cummings has found that ICE agents violated the terms of a consent decree by detaining people without proper warrants. He ruled that as of this week ICE must wear body cams at all times and can face arrest and contempt proceedings if they conduct unlawful, warrantless arrests.

Trump is a failing authoritarian whose approval ratings are tanking.
Like any bully, when he feels humiliated, he lashes out.
But what he doesn’t realize is that his authoritarianism and his bullying are waking up America’s great sleeping giant. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXHPCL12QIg

Today - notice yourself and be kind to yourself. Stop and breathe. Walk. Listen to music that speaks to your soul. Hug - person, pet, or pillow. Find something that sparks a feeling of gratitude, even if it's small.

The Heartbreak of Institutional Betrayal
In my practice, I'm witnessing a bipartisan heartbreak. I see confusion and deep questioning of some existing systems while watching the real-time dismantling of others.
