🧵 Preserving my calm is my #1 mental health priority.
Without it, I become less effective at everything else I do.
I recently shared my calm strategy with a struggling friend, and hope others might benefit.

WHAT. THE. FUCK.
The president told a Central American dictator to build five more massive slave labor camps to hold US citizens.

This is inhumane.
A brain running on the hormone that aligns to one's internal sense of gender has a profound impact on a person's general sense of wellbeing.
I could tell a difference within 24 hours when I started HRT.
This is forced detransitioning and fucking appalling.

Hegseth just revoked all gender affirming hormone therapy for trans active duty service members - effectively trapping them because you can't just quit the military. All while stating our trans service members will be treated with "dignity and respect."

I don't think this guy understands the definition of "competent" and nor does anyone else in his reporting chain.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio has hired a misogynistic racist to serve as his acting undersecretary of state for public diplomacy.
Presenting Darren Beattie, who is both an overt racist, misogynist, conspiracy theorist about the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol insurrection — and so much more. All…

The cowardice of media outlets from stating the obvious is infuriating.
A U.S. state legislature trying to favor a single religion in law isn't "potentially unconstitutional". It's BLATANTLY unconstitutional. Separation of church and state, you donkeys, it's not hard.

North Dakota Republicans have introduced legislation to declare themselves a Christian nationalist state, recognizing the kingship of Jesus Christ.
This sounds more like a cult than government.

-Assisted elderly and disabled people
-Helped hospitals better treat people who have lost limbs

Never in my wildest nightmares have I imagined such blistering destruction to the American brand as I've witnessed over the past two weeks.
Trust takes years to build and seconds to lose.
Built via decades of work, that trust is evaporating and won't soon return. What a stupid, pointless waste.

🟠 is betraying the Palestinians for his personal financial enrichment-
Using our military.
This banishment is new inspiration for every anti-American terrorist wishing us harm.
He is alienating the USA from the world-especially our allies & aligning us with the darkest forces on the planet.

If these dangerous bird flu variants jumped to humans under this administration even with a competent Health Secretary, it'd still be terrifying.
Confirming RFK Jr. would make the event catastrophic and doom millions.
Call your senators. Tell them NO to RFK. Don't email. CALL! It takes 2 minutes.

It’s natural to feel scared or guilty or ashamed, that’s your soul telling you to stay alive and do the right thing. Trump and Musk are moving fast and life will get harder that’s a fact. However, through difficult and terrifying times the best in all of us can shine. Do what you can, don’t give up.

What do we call it when someone who has not been elected takes control of the government inconsistent with any constitutional provision and who claims he’s voiding lawful mandates of the legislature?

🧵 Both AOC and Mark Cuban commented on countering cynicism and bridge building today.
In a separate, ADHD-fueled hyperfocus session that started as ad-hoc feedback for the DNC and quickly escalated, I wrote a vision doc describing a cohesive national DNC comms strategy.
