    I’ve been impressed by her ability to actually get things done. She’s been getting community programs funded in her district that accomplish Green New Deal goals but doing it silently without attaching Green New Deal wording anywhere. She got other representatives running similar programs in the same way. I respect someone who is willing to speak up but also believes in their mission enough to do it quietly if that’s what it takes.




  • In the election that Huckabee-Sanders won, she was up against Chris Jones, an MIT graduate with a masters in nuclear engineering and a PhD in urban planning and an ordained minister. My fellow Arkansans voted for the woman who didn’t show up to the debate and spent most of her time out of the state hanging around Fox News. I don’t think my state deserves Foghorn Leghorn if we could get him.








  • See both a psychiatrist and a therapist. Therapy like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy can give you some strategies that will help you recognize how you are feeling and give you some distance from your thoughts. For a rough example: Instead of just feeling like you’re failing, you might say, “I am having the thought that I am failing,” and that little bit of distance gives you the space to ask where the thought is coming from. You may then be able to refute it or accept it as the way you feel right now, but not necessarily who you are.

    Psychiatry can help you identify if a medication may be a good option for you and what route to take with it. This will likely be a few months of trying different doses and different medications while you may journal to track the quality of your days.

    If you find yourself having even brief, passive, non-planning suicidal or violent thoughts, get with a professional. They’re good at that stuff.

    Once the major stuff is taken care of, it’s much easier to work on the normal things like daily exercise, nutrition, and social connections.
