Bellingcat put out a great article a while back on limiting self-harm from exposure to traumatic media.

No specific examples are given and the article appears to have been written with trigger avoidance in mind, so it should be safe reading for everyone.

The House Ethics Committee found that Matt Gaetz did all of the horrible things previously claimed—sex trafficking minors, prostitution (including of minors), drugs, drunk driving, obstruction, the works. The Florida Bulldog has secured and published the House report this evening.

If ICE thought this was constitutional, it would have made horrifying social media content about it.
ICE secretly told its officers that any time someone has been ordered removed, ICE can break down their door.

It has been accepted for generations that the only thing which can authorize agents to break into your home is a warrant signed by a judge. No wonder ICE hid this memo!

Here's the difference: if one of my moderate right wingy low information acquaintances or friends was like 'shit I fucked up on Trump' I would be like, I get it, you're my guy, politics isn't your thing, you came around and that's great.

Richard Hanania is not that guy, and won't ever be that guy

He's not doing this because he's angry about not getting the Nobel Peace Prize. That's just a way for an abuser to blame his victim.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.
