I grew up under the authoritarian rule of this man. As I celebrate the fact that I no longer have to share the same air as him, I also grieve deeply for myself and every other child who was made to believe hitting is love and love is contingent upon obedience. May you never rest in peace Dobson.

Today, do not let yourself get sucked into rage bait. Don’t read the comments sections. Dont go check that maga uncle’s social media. Dont fight with trolls. Holding ourselves accountable to boundaries around content only designed to dysregulate you allows us to stay focused and in the game.

Quick tip to rein in doomscrolling. ScreenZen allows you to set time limits on apps, to set a prompt for when you try to open an app (eg “Why are you checking), and will impose a delay in the app opening, all of which makes our use of tech more intentional (versus automatic) and boundaried.

SAVE Act just passed House. It is modern-day poll tax that would disenfranchise tens of millions of Americans, end online, mail + voter registration drives & require voters to register in person at election offices, forcing some rural voters to drive 8 hours to register. Total disaster in every way

If the GOP understood anything about emotions (beyond how to manipulate people’s fear), they would know that gaslighting and invalidating people do not, in fact, calm them down. It escalates anger. They are fueling the fire against them by their refusal to acknowledge reality.

Yes a shutdown would have consequences. And a Republican President, Republican House, and Republican Senate would be responsible. They have acted in a unilateral and unprecedented way. Democrats cannot cave. They must fight back.

Quick reminder that phrases like “you’re overreacting” or “stop being so dramatic” are commonly used by abusive people / institutions to get you to question your own experience and judgment so they can escape accountability. It’s a massive gaslighting project that runs rampant in politics.

Tips for supporting the children in your orbit right now 1. Limit news exposure (and discussion among adults) 2. Maintain as much structure and routine as possible 3. When they ask questions, first check what THEY think. This helps gauge what’s on their mind and correct potential misunderstandings
