Listen man, you need to read the news. Actually seek it out and read it. Preferably local or state news if you have it.

My congressman and Senators are the most boring moderate white guys to ever moderate white guy.

And they are out there every single fucking day raising hell like I haven't seen in ten years.

They're boycotting the joint address. Trying to block every piece of legislation and every nominee. They're trying to get into federal buildings to see what DOGE is doing. They're holding town halls every week. They're holding job fairs for laid off feds and connecting them to resources.

These boring white guys are getting up in republicans faces during hearings and screaming at them red faced with righteous fury.

My guys ALONE are doing a fuck ton.

"I asked the — our NATO Allies that we bring on the group from the South Pacific: Australia, New Zealand, Japan-"

"And, by the way, I was able to get 50 other nations — 50 — five-zero — to support Ukraine.  Fifty.  And we were able to bring about a coalition between — in — of Europe and Asia — Japan and South Korea."

"I just met with — we’ve talked about AUKUS and we talked about the relationship between Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, the United States. We’re making the world safer and stronger, because we have to deal with a new arrangement that exists in the world"

but also like. WHY would you assume that's something he would just Say? why wouldn't you look it up and see what the context was?

It may sound woo woo but it’s an important skill capitalism and hyper individualism have robbed us of as human beings.

Learn to process your emotions. It will improve your mental health and quality of life. Emotions serve a biological purpose, they aren’t just things that happen for no reason.

1. Pause and notice you’re having a big feeling or reaching for a distraction to maybe avoid a feeling. Notice what triggered the feeling or need for a distraction without judgement. Just note that it’s there. Don’t label it as good or bad.

2. Find it in your body. Where do you feel it? Your chest? Your head? Your stomach? Does it feel like a weight everywhere? Does it feel like you’re vibrating? Does it feel like you’re numb all over?

3. Name the feeling. Look up an emotion chart if you need to. Find the feeling that resonates the most with what you’re feeling. Is it disappointment? Heartbreak? Anxiety? Anger? Humiliation?

4. Validate the feeling. Sometimes feelings misfire or are disproportionately big, but they’re still valid. You don’t have to justify what you’re feeling, it’s just valid. Tell yourself “yeah it makes sense that you feel that right now.” Or something as simple as “I hear you.” For example: If I get really big feelings of humiliation when I lose at a game of chess, the feeling may not be necessary, but it is valid and makes sense if I grew up with parents who berated me every time I did something wrong. So I could say “Yeah I understand why we are feeling that way given how we were treated growing up. That’s valid.”

5. Do something with your body that’s not a mental distraction from the feeling. Something where you can still think. Go on a walk. Do something with your hands like art or crochet or baking. Journal. Clean a room. Figure out what works best for you.

Researchers have discovered that leaky blood vessels, together with a hyperactive immune system may be the underlying cause of brain fog in people with long covid. They suggest their discovery is important for the understanding of brain fog and cognitive decline – difficulty with thinking, memory or concentration – seen in some people with the condition. It is hoped the findings will help with the development of treatments in the future.

To Summarize:

Long Covid sufferers experience symptoms like forgetfulness and concentration issues due to leakiness in brain blood vessels, according to research findings.

Scientists from Trinity College Dublin and FutureNeuro confirm that Long Covid patients with brain fog have disrupted blood vessels in their brains, making the neurological symptoms measurable.

Blood vessel leakage in the brain, along with an overactive immune system, may be the key drivers of brain fog in Long Covid patients, leading to potential changes in understanding and treating post-viral conditions.

like if you have actually been paying attention, Democrats have been shifting leftward in a more steady pace, Republicans took a SHARP turn right and didn't look back a couple decades ago and have gotten more and more unhinged to the point where even uber-conservatives like LIZ CHENEY get called RINOs. Like, Liz is as intensely conservative as you can fucking get and yet, still not conservative enough for modern Republicans because they have shifted into actual authoritarianism
