take some time off today

[Born to Slay. Forced to Work.]

I know it’s the first instinct for the political class when something like this happens is to glue ourselves to screens and watch every word and update like gospel but just do what you can for your side and take some time for yourself

Go for a walk, talk to your family and see how they’re doing, read a book, paint. Take care of yourself

[Absentee Voting Ghost of Ruin]

Save the outrage for later. Bank it. Pull it out when it's time to campaign for D candidates this fall (and for organized protests in coming days).

[7,052,770]

Everyone should channel their outrage to the elections in November. Let's break the midterm curse and GAIN seats in both Houses.

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

Today is definitely a weed-and-barbiturate day for me.

Does it accrue compound interest? 😝

Everyone should channel their outrage to the elections in November. Let's break the midterm curse and GAIN seats in both Houses.

In order to do that, the Democrats should definitely not "forget" about the other issues, especially kitchentable issues. Just a single issue campaign on Roe may not be enough to do that.

What might be helpful is Trump being indicted before November as well.

[Kahane's Grave Is A Gender-Neutral Bathroom]

Yes, let's all just forget about a massive human rights abuse so-called pro-freedom conservatives are imposing on everyone and go outside.

[Coldstream]

Nah, get angry. Remember how angry & helpless you feel now whenever there’s a chance to campaign or vote in a future election. Remember how defeat tastes, and vow to never to taste it again. They spent 50 years organising & planning for this moment, politics is a long game and it never ends.

No, OP has a point. Doing what's good for your mental health and fighting on issues which are important are not mutually exclusive.

It is, in part, why I mostly prefer reading the news, good and bad, these days to watching it. It's easier to analyze a situation rationally and how you respond to it without three talking heads telling you how to think.

I'll be watching the new Beavis and Butt-head movie tonight.

This.

I'm excited.  Beavis and Butthead Do America is one of my childhood favorites. 

[Progressive Pessimist]

I mean, this was my logic for leaving the forum for awhile (which I will be resuming again after today, by the way, I just had to pop in to mark today's "momentous" occasion). Not spending so much time speculating nonstop about elections has helped me be less stressed out a bit, but my psychic barriers can still only block out our political turmoil so much.

For instance, I can be engaging in escapism like enjoying an episode of a brainless fun show like 'Beat Bobby Flay' and then Daphne Oz shows up on it and I immediately get depressed again.

What we all should do is get on the streets and make yourself heard. Don’t let them take your rights without a fight. Protest and build connections to get rid of these crazy rats running things.

[Middle-aged Europe]

No. Be angry. And most importantly, don't waste that anger on an Internet forum.

You forgot not all of us live in cities where this is possible

Getting a paper sign and holding it in town square with some friends is a cheap option.

Yeah, revenge is a dish best served cold.

I watched it again a couple months ago and it holds up.

Those of us that believe in the Second Amendment as I do will take this as a blueprint for success.

Those of us that realize that abortion is still legal in much of America and needs affirmative action taken by legislatures to protect the right of unborn humans to not be killed in the womb due to the circumstances of one or both biological parents.

Why should I let the Left take MY rights away without a fight?   And since your side refuses to consider our view about what your rights are as to abortion, so I am baffled as to why my side should allow your side to dictate to me where my Constitutional Rights begin and end.

I understand the concept of not taking it easy while others try to take away one's Constitutional Rights. The problem is that this seems to be a one-way street here.
