Trump just paused all federal grants and loans. In his memo, he claimed to be “ending wokeness.”
“Wokeness” to him is attacking community health centers, Medicaid, disaster relief, child care programs, nutrition assistance programs like SNAP, WIC, and school lunch programs.
Unacceptable.

“You do not have to force yourself to witness horrors as an act of activism. It is not a form of activism.”
This took me a long time to learn, but it’s a critical lesson. If you want to stay in the fight long-term, find a balance between action and self-compassion.

![A Tumblr post from grey-sides on Nov 7, 2024 that says
Hi. Things are bleak, I know that. I know that we paid for Trump's last term with blood and it
is likely the price will be blood again.
But listen to me. LISTEN.
You do not have to force yourself to witness horrors as an act of activism. It is not a form of
activism. You can put your phone down, you can block that horrific video. We cannot win if
you cannot fight and you will not be able to fight if you are hopeless.
Do not let them guilt you into this. People who are exhausted are easier to walk over. Take
care of yourself, find community where you find joy.
A reply from brawlite also on Nov 7, 2024, that says

[in the normal font] ^^^ remember this. do not exhaust yourself into hopelessness. take care of yourself and stay
strong.
Another reply, from alessandriana on Nov 8, 2024, that says
know l've recced it before, but if you want a place to monitor the news while avoiding
getting caught in the horrors, What The Fuck Just Happened Today (https://whatthefuckjusthappenedtoday.com) is a really useful
resource. They summarize political (& adjacent) news so you can remain aware of what's
going on while stillminimizing the emotional energy you expend on any one issue. (And they
provide links and sourcing if you need to know more.)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:fflzu2gzu7zjuh26rvi4vcxq/bafkreiflh7nrsgnptcyc6buphgcbjqmbw7j7sjpy4rjleqtyyfq4bc5ts4@jpeg)

My advice is to folks who are feeling deep stress over the political climate. If possible, unplug. Go outside.
Physically, go outside and spend some time there, be present with the external world. If possible, connect with people you care about. Be present in the current moment.

What if we got crazy, really mixed things up, and treated artists and authors like human beings who are entitled to their fruits of their labor?
