I saw this video of a Vietnam vet in the fur coat yelling at ICE and thought to myself, "this is missing something," before I realized, "Ah, of course, the Ether instrumental. It's so obvious."

📢 Protest Advice - Tear Gas 🪧 If you are protesting tomorrow - this video has great advice for preparing for and responding to tear gas. No makeup, contacts, etc. If you live near a protest site - consider placing buckets of clean water outside your home so protestors have easy access. 🪣

I let a few radishes go to seed specifically for the seed pods. They’re delicious! Like a mild radish crossed with a fresh bean pod. I also have some bok choy next to it that seems to be putting off nearly identical seed pods. I’ve heard all parts of bok choy are edible - but are the seed pods too?🌱

Noem’s Goons crossed the reddest of red lines by attacking and handcuffing a U.S. Senator. In times past Senators of both parties would have rallied behind their fellow Senator and called Noem and her henchmen into the Senate to demand their resignations. MAGA Senators will do nothing. #ProudBlue

By now, we've all seen the video of Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) being forcibly removed and handcuffed for asking a question during Kristi Noem's press conference. But what Noem said just moments before the video was taken is "classic authoritarian red-baiting," points out @davidcorn.bsky.social.

#AltCitizen #AltCitizens #AllOfUs When most European heads of state left their Nazi-occupied home countries for safety during WWII, King Christian X of Denmark stayed put, even continuing to ride his horse through the streets of Copenhagen without a bodyguard. 1/

B&W photo of a man riding a horse on cobblestone streets with a quote from King Christian X of Denmark: When you look at the inhumane treatment of Jews, not only in Germany but occupied countries as well, you start worrying that such a demand might also be put on us, but we must clearly refuse such this due to their protection under the Danish constitution. I stated that I could not meet such a demand towards Danish citizens. If such a demand is made, we would best meet it by all wearing the Star of David.

“If you don’t count Black women” as humans is what he really means. Anarcha Westcott and 2 more Black teens were operated on WITHOUT anesthesia by Dr Marion Sims, the so-called “godfather” of modern gynecology, for years. Racism is what US maternal health was built on. THAT’s why Black women die.

Great advice to keep us grounded.

Photo of words reading, Wise and important words from sociologist Jennifer Walter about what is happening in our country right now and what to do about it:

"As a sociologist, I need to tell you:

Your overwhelm is the goal.

1- The flood of 200+ executive orders in Trump's first days exemplifies Naomi Klein's "shock doctrine" - using chaos and crisis to push through radical changes while people are too disoriented to effectively resist. This isn't just politics as usual - it's a strategic exploitation of cognitive limits.

2- Media theorist McLuhan predicted this: When humans face information overload, they become passive and disengaged. The rapid-fire executive orders create a cognitive bottleneck, making it nearly impossible for citizens and media to thoroughly analyze any single policy.

3- Agenda-setting theory explains the strategy: When multiple major policies compete for attention simultaneously, it fragments public discourse. Traditional media can't keep up with the pace, leading to superficial coverage.

The result? Weakened democratic oversight and reduced public engagement.
What now?

1- Set boundaries: Pick 2-3 key issues you deeply care about and focus your attention there. You can't track everything - that's by design. Impact comes from sustained focus, not scattered awareness.

2- Use aggregators & experts: Find trusted analysts who do the heavy lifting of synthesis. Look for those explaining patterns, not just events.

3- Remember: Feeling overwhelmed is the point. When you recognize this, you regain some power. Take breaks. Process. This is a marathon.

4- Practice going slow: Wait 48hrs before reacting to new policies. The urgent clouds the important. Initial reporting often misses context.

5- Build community: Share the cognitive load. Different people track different issues. Network intelligence beats individual overload.

Remember: They want you scattered. Your focus is resistance.

With #tiktok banned, it’s going to be even more important for those of us who are #sober and/or struggle with #mentalhealth to make sure we’re finding moments of self care. I doubt the govt considered the enormity of the simultaneous dopamine deprivation this will cause. I doubt they care. Be well.
