I am heartbroken at the harm these cuts bring to children & families. We need access to affordable health care &to knowledge that we have used public funds to build over decades. The RIFs are wasteful.

Some lovely practices 💙

Liz Roemer @lizroemer.bsky.social · Apr 12

Reading the news prompts me to revisit these practices. The more we can ground ourselves amid distress, the more we can keep taking values-based action. #academicsky #psychscisky

Grounding Yourself Amid Overwhelm

Try these strategies to make it easier to continue living fully in the presence of overwhelming distress.

The Trump regime will arrest you in the middle of the night because you spoke your mind.

And federal agents in plain clothes who refuse to identify themselves will be the ones to do it.

If you think I'm being hyperbolic, watch this clip.
