Can’t take it anymore.

If I was single and childless I would have bailed already. But now I have little kids at the age where they are learning about the USA and the states, and I am having to answer some very difficult questions for them.

Sometimes you have to step away from the news. That's ok especially to preserve your sanity.

There are ways to stay current on the weather and sports.

Every sympathy with you. The front page of the BBC News UK news page has had a picture of DJT as lead every day so far this week. 😠

i had for a couple days and i came back to it today and regret it immensely. it's important to stay informed and take action but you have to protect yourself too

My fear is thats what they want, for people to just give up, hide. I get it, it's making me anxious and sick. But I care because I have a child and I care about our future and our planet. I won't surrender.

When things are causing you anxiety it's better to focus on the things that you can control rather than the things that you can't. Draw your focus in a bit, ignore the news for a while. Dramatic headlines keep fish on the hook. It doesn't mean that dramatic outcomes always follow. If the news was all positive it wouldn't get half the views. People are captivated by disaster and often because it allows them to subconsciously relinquish control of their own lives. I mean, if the world is screwed then what's the point, right? The game is rigged, it's all doom and gloom, there is a ready built reason for giving up. The truth is, though, that life for the privileged barely changes that much. Some prices go up, a few new laws, on we go.

Maybe concentrate on your escape where ever you choose to go. Lean about what its really like to live there. Do the whole culture trip, wrap yourself in it. Swap your news feeds to your new country. If you wrap your self up enough time will pass quicker

I disconnected some time ago. I was still looking at NPR, but it’s gone south as well. Sad times

When I was a little girl, there was a monster under my bed. I only had to close my eyes, and the monster was gone.

I know it's horrible.
But we gotta fight, we gotta resist.
We've faced this before. We won last time.

tRUMP has attempted to bypass all the Constitutional safeguards against what amounts to a coup. He has placed federal judges who answer to him alone and disregard their oaths. And don’t get me started on the lawless MAGA Congressmen & Senators…

The only course that I see going forward is that mental health professionals must declare him criminally insane and insist on involuntary confinement for extensive psychiatric evaluation.

tRUMP has reduced our country to the status of a banana republic and it will only get worse.

It is heartening that the FBI is fighting back. There must be equal push back by other agencies and powerful organizations.

You yourself already expressed xenophobia of your own in this post… Maybe you’ll realize how much of a two way street that word is, and stop using it as if it’s some virtue signal that exemplifies a moral high ground, when you’re just as guilty in participating in it.,.

You really think they'll let you collect your pension once you leave? 🤣

Your comment has been sent.

Apparently some people learned nothing from the January 6th insurrection.

Even more abhorrent—lots of low information voters were convinced to vote for psychopath tRUMP on January 6th…

Do you mean you actually want lib politicians to funnel our tax dollars into a secret slush fund to finance actions not approved by the American people? You hate good news? 🤷🏻‍♀
