Good morning and Happy Hump Day to everyone who supports the House passing a bill last night to combat Islamophobia.
No Republicans voted for it.
NONE.
This is a shmita year, when Jewish tradition says debts must be cancelled. That no major Jewish organizations are pushing the Biden administration hard on student debt forgiveness shows a lack of commitment to our core shared values.

Triggers evoke your powerlessness at the moment of trauma. It makes recovery from trauma seem impossible. It's not. You just can't heal in the same environment that made you sick. Distance yourself from situations/people that bring out the person you're not trying to be anymore.

Waiting for someone to act correctly is a trauma response. You’re self-sabotaging and denying parts of yourself just to keep the peace. That's the result of patterns set up in childhood where we learnt that our needs are not valid, so we disconnect from our needs and our essence.
If they were serious about preventing more than 1.5C of heating and, potentially, systemic environmental collapse, they would decide to burn no more fossil fuels after 2030, and to launch today an emergency programme of fullscale economic transition.
But they are not serious.
There’s a special kind of denial that comes with avoiding the difficult part of life. Bypassing trauma as if you do not have to deal with the healing is just you convincing yourself that if you stay away from life, it will not hurt you and that’s just not true.
