Struggling to cope with the relentless and bleak news cycle? Go to bed early

> An early bedtime is my number one prescription when things go awry. It’s a reliable comfort through all life seasons, especially when uncertainty is rife and sleep is disturbed. > > I’m not ashamed to admit that I spend a considerable amount of time each day thinking about how nice it would be to get into bed. We’ve just passed the autumn equinox which means we’ll light the first fire soon and “hottie season” will officially commence. Yes, my partner of 20 years is handsome but it’s the hot-water bottle that gets preference when the temperature drops, the world threatens to implode and extra cosiness is required. > > The psychology of comfort is worth understanding when we face a barrage of daily stress. According to the generalised unsafety theory of stress (Guts), our baseline state is one of anxiety, where we seek safety signals to feel more settled. We are designed to experience and withstand stress because it moves and motivates us but we also know that the chronic stress of modern life stems, in part, from its ambiguity; very few of us have a resilience to uncertainty.

How To Help if You are Outside Minnesota
> I’m going to assume that if you’re reading this, you more or less understand the situation in Minnesota and I don’t have to explain it to you! That said, I do have a section of local news sources, below. But to answer the question most people want to ask: yes, things are really as bad here as they look in the media. ICE officers are lawless thugs who are kidnapping my neighbors, and the claim that they’re doing us a service by removing violent criminals is a bald-faced lie. You probably knew that already, but just in case, there you go. > > I guess I should briefly introduce myself: my name is Naomi Kritzer. I’m a science fiction and fantasy writer. (I have a book coming out in June.) I also write an election guide for Minneapolis and St. Paul, which a lot of people here use when they’re getting ready to vote in local elections. I lived in Minneapolis from 1995 through 2012, and I have lived in St. Paul since 2012. I love my community and also wrote a post of ideas for local people who are looking for things they can do right now.

An anonymous reader quotes a report from The Verge: Betterment, a financial app, sent a sketchy-looking notification on Friday asking users to send $10,000 to Bitcoin and Ethereum crypto wallets and promising to "triple your crypto," according to a thread on Reddit. The Betterment account says in an...
Selon The Verge (article de Jay Peters), des utilisateurs de l’app financière Betterment ont reçu une notification — et pour certains un email — promettant de « tripler » des dépôts en Bitcoin ou Ethereum, avant que Betterment n’indique qu’il s’agissait d’un message non autorisé envoyé via un système tiers utilisé pour ses communications marketing. Le message frauduleux annonçait « We’ll triple your crypto! (Limited Time) », expliquait que Betterment « donnait en retour », fixait une fenêtre de trois heures et présentait un exemple: envoyer 10 000 $ en BTC/ETH pour recevoir 30 000 $ à la même adresse d’envoi. Des adresses de dépôt Bitcoin et Ethereum étaient indiquées dans la notification (captures partagées sur Reddit).

People’s Assembly Toolkit
> For the People Leftist Library Project (FTP) has developed a toolkit to encourage public library defenders to conduct local People’s Assemblies (PA). A People’s Assembly (PA) involves a facilitated gathering where all community members discuss key community issues and collectively problem-solve and decide how to address them. > > In the space created by PAs, everyone’s voice, thinking, experiences, ideas, and visions receive equal hearing and value. The PAs empower every participant to exercise their agency and power. Accordingly, PAs are a form of direct participatory democracy that places unwavering trust in those assembling. > > Library defenders can conduct a PA to advocate, organize, and mobilize for their local public library. Ultimately, PAs are effective strategies for identifying and addressing the issues most impacting a library institution, its staff, and—perhaps most importantly—its patrons. For example, PAs can address issues related to hyper-policing in public spaces, book bans, and accessibility. Facilitated properly, PAs can uplift and empower communities to co-create their ideal local library.
Inflatables, rainbow crosswalks, flooding snitch lines — creative action was off the charts in 2025
> The rise of authoritarianism in the United States had devastating consequences in 2025. It was a year of unrelenting injustice, maddening and terrifying at once. Amidst the cycles of heartbreak and hope, resistance surged to unprecedented levels. Along with mass demonstrations and powerful boycotts, there were countless acts of creative protest that rekindled spirits, made us laugh out loud, and kept us rising up. > > In nonviolent struggle, creativity is an enduring superpower — and we’ve seen it working powerfully for us in 2025. It broke through the stranglehold of fear. It helped us scrape past defeat by the seat of our pants. It tapped into the strategic potential of nonviolent struggle. It gave us a superpower at a time when power seems stacked against us. From Jan. 20 onward, unexpected, unusual and off-the-wall actions kept our movements nimble and courageous. > > Here’s a blow-by-blow of how creativity served us well as millions of people moved into action.
