Disaster Fatigue Is Real: How Nurses Can Protect Their Mental Health During Crisis Season
Disaster season doesn’t end when the news cycle moves on. Nurses feel the aftershocks long after the shelters close, the cameras leave, and the world returns to “normal.”For many frontline responders, this time of year brings disaster fatigue, a deep, layered exhaustion that builds from repeated exposure to trauma, unpredictability, and human suffering. This post speaks directly to nurses who are tired, stretched thin, or quietly carrying more than they admit.

Dog attacks from law enforcement have been problematic for decades and this is another example of unnecessary harm. It is particularly upsetting because of the explicit racism. The damage that is inflicted by police dogs can be catastrophic and have life long consequences
My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

Brutal day in Minneapolis, but there were some shining moments of neighbors stopping some abductions, kicking Nazis out of some spaces, chasing them out of others. And there were about 1,000 ppl on an excellent ICE WATCH training zoom led by States At The Center and Protect Rogers Park in Chicago.
