It’s going to be a bumpy week. Buddy up, hydrate, remember to take time out of the news cycle for what fills your spirit and brings you peace.

I hate everything. It feels very hopeless and like nothing will ever get better.

Oh there's definitely plenty of theories about Trump>Russia>Iran>Israel>classified documents. It's really hard not to believe some of it. Especially when you add in the Speaker debacle and aid to Ukraine.

Has meltdown about the prompter being upside down - from what I can gather. Switches to run as 3rd party. Siblings make announcement denouncing his candidacy.

Ugh. We have a Moms For Liberty endorsed candidate running for our school board right now. She's actually Justice Scalia's daughter. She very well may win, even though all four of her kids are in private school. The opposing candidate is wonderful, and I will happily vote for her.

Under the Desk News most recent post warning parents to remove social media from their children’s phones before the weekend. Video gives more context. www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8rQ7b5G/

Hamas is dangerous. This feels very scary for Jews all over the world. 900 murdered, raped, and the rhetoric still feels like, well, they somehow deserved it. I just left the JCC. I’ve never seen security like that. I burst into tears when I saw the memorial in the lobby. It almost feels like a sick joke that today is mental health day because is anyone okay? It all feels so heavy. I’m so sorry you have to be scared amidst your grieving. 💙

Video gives more context. www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8rQ7b5G/For those that can't TT, is this related to videos of hostages/killings? Because if so, too late to be preemptive on that. Twitter is almost unusable for me right now it is all videos.

Twitter is almost unusable for me right now it is all videos. It specifically mentions that Hamas is broadcasting that they intend to release video(s) of the hostages on social media this coming weekend and that the recommendation is that parents remove social media from their kid's devices. My kids are too young and don't have access to any social media, but for those that do, I think it'd be wise. It's difficult enough for us to process all of this as adults, children shouldn't be exposed unintentionally to what's sure to be extremely disturbing and upsetting content.

Details about various attacks have been on some of my independent news source people on IG which did have trigger warnings and I watched through anyway. Not graphic video but graphic descriptions. I just want to wrap my babies up and cuddle them. It is just so hard to concentrate when thinking about all these innocent people being senselessly murdered.

In the thread for last week, I talked about that as well, and the tendency for leftist spaces to be antisemitic. Here, I was responding to the previous post. I've seen the rhetoric you mention and agree it's frighteningly common. Exactly. Both can be true. And it is horrifying to see all of the normal people in I & P who are suffering from their actions.

This will be a nightmare to deal with next week in school. Lolololol to my middle schoolers relinquishing their social media accounts, even if only temporarily.

Thank you so much clucky! I took the last one on the list, twitter has gotten so rough. Now I have to find a bunch of people to follow, so I'm not tempted to go back.

Moment of levity - for those in the DC area, Shear Madness at the Kennedy Center has tons of politics/blinds relevant humor that I see going over a lot of people's heads but I'm finding hilarious - definitely see it if you get an opportunity! Commander bites, Clarence Thomas, Britney knife dancing, T-Swift. I love that they constantly update the show to keep it current events relevant.
