I know. Me too.
Call your reps--this gives you their numbers AND a script. I promise doing something, even this small thing, will make you feel better than not doing it.

Okay, I cannot recommend 5calls.org enough. Enter your address and it will find all your reps (federal and state). AND give you a list of issues to call about AND which reps to call about each of them AND a little script for each, in case it's helpful. They have an app, too.
5 Calls
Spend 5 minutes. Make 5 calls. Make your voice heard.

American cities remove homeless encampments as part of “sweeps” and take the belongings of the people they move. ProPublica asked them to explain what was stolen from them and how sweeps have affected them. It’s devastating. https://projects.propublica.org/impact-of-homeless-sweeps-lost-belongings/
The Toll of Cities’ Homeless Sweeps — ProPublica
Cities often take belongings — including important documents and irreplaceable mementos — when they conduct sweeps of homeless encampments. ProPublica gave notecards to people across the country so they could explain what they lost in their own words.

This morning's curiosity: How many of us live lives that flow out of our being, who we truly are, as opposed to simply applying our skills to external social structures? It's an identity question. So many of us find our identity in the things we do. Jobs. Who I am is more. It's being, not doing.
