To keep ourselves grounded, we need to resist the urge to internalize the weight of these policies as personal failures. It’s crucial to remain focused on the long view: our collective history of resistance, our shared capacity for resilience and our ability to create change despite being systematically undermined.
We're not passive victims of these systems. We are active participants in shaping a different future, even when it feels like the system is stacked against us.

As therapists, we need to walk the walk that we teach people. That means using coping skills like breathing, mindfulness and meditation to remain in the present so that we’re responsive versus reactive. If we let ourselves spin out, what are the next four years going to look like?
I think about what I can control and what I can’t. What are the positive things I can do to affect me and others in a positive way? Then I can put energy into that.

But after I get over the hump of this shock, I do feel an urgency around mobilizing. Maybe that’s shifting our services to more group models so that we can reach more people. I think there’s going to be higher rates of anxiety and distress, and we’re going to need more access to mental health, especially in marginalized communities.
I want to stay hopeful for society. Especially for our teens, because they feel so much existential despair. I still want to choose hope.

Unfortunately the LGBT community has always faced darkness and people pushing against us. So what we always need to do is circle back – check in on yourself and check in on those you love. And be aware of your own limitations. If you need to take a break, take a break. Are you doomscrolling right now? If that’s making you feel worse, take a step back.

Coping With Election Stress
Remember that you have the agency to rebuff today’s cries for resilience. Unyielding strength is something our society demands only of those whose rights we systematically obstruct. So grant yourself the grace and luxury to feel that you’re not going to be okay – but know that you will be. Take the time to grieve, to replenish your body, mind and soul. Then rise up and heed the call to fight for justice once more.

But here’s what should really trouble us all. It’s not that Donald Trump trampled on the values we’ve lived by our entire lives. We don’t expect any better from him. What’s shocking is that over half the American people said they don’t care.
They don’t care if Trump is a lying, lawless, crude, obscene, serial adulterer and convicted felon who tried to stop the peaceful transfer of power. They’re willing to forget all about that because…Why? They think he’ll lower the cost of a dozen eggs?
Democrats aren’t the only ones who need soul-searching
The problem is much bigger than that. It’s important for the American people to do some soul-searching about what’s wrong with us. It’s especially important to ask: What happened to our sense of values? Like me, you were probably instilled by your parents with a basic sense of what’s right and wrong, a set of values that was far more important than what political party we might someday belong to.

Trump’s aspiration isn’t Nazi Germany, it’s feudal Germany
President-elect Donald Trump’s victory has revived the accusation that he is a fascist. Some even fear that he will try to become a dictator for life.
That notion misunderstands the danger he presents. He isn’t aiming or likely to recreate Nazi Germany. Medieval Germany is closer: a collection of unaccountable fiefdoms in which local barons are free to abuse their subjects at will.

General Harriet Tubman
💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Revered abolitionist Harriet Tubman, who was the first woman to oversee an American military action during a time of war, was posthumously awarded the rank of general on Monday.
Dozens gathered on Veterans Day at the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad State Park in Maryland’s Dorcester County for a formal ceremony making Tubman a one-star brigadier general in the state’s National Guard.

There are wild fires in the East. That's something to think about.
Why do people look at the worst people who claim to be Christians and draw conclusions about others?
We are GOOD!!! No need to worry about us. Thank you
I know these fools didn't start a GoFundMe to help Nick Bosa pay a 11,000 fine. He already said any fine was worth it. That's nothing to him. Now I know they are crazy and can't be helped. Someone must need some money because he sure doesn't.

Overtime in Germany. I lived there for 2 years when I was in the Army a long time ago.
Children’s book by chef Jamie Oliver is withdrawn after criticism from Indigenous Australians
Indigenous campaigners were particularly aghast that neither Oliver nor his publishers, Penguin Random House, had consulted with them before the novel was published.
