  1. In some cases, they jailed distressed detainees in #isolation, which can exacerbate feelings of #humiliation & #helplessness, acc/to experts.

    #ICE has repeatedly asserted that it screens detainees within 12 hours of arrival for medical, dental & #MentalHealth conditions.

    At least 3 of the 9 facilities where ICE detainees died by #suicide have struggled to meet that standard, acc/to ICE inspection reports & jail records.

  2. A severe storm begins tonight in #gaza .

    Heavy rains threaten the #tents of the displaced,
    and souls #cry out from the cold and #helplessness.
    #Children without shelter, the sick without medicine,
    and tents that can't withstand the wind and rain.

    Before the cold overwhelms them,

  7. How to Shift Out of #Helplessness

    We feel like there’s too much to deal with, and it’s #overwhelming because we feel like we can’t do anything about it.

  17. A quotation from Fletcher Knebel

    But a democracy is different. Each of us has got to feel that we can influence events, no matter how slight the influence. When people start believing they can’t they get frustrated, and angry. They feel helpless and they start going to extremes.

    Fletcher Knebel (1911-1993) American author
    Seven Days in May, “Tuesday Afternoon” [Lyman] (1962)[with Charles W. Bailey II]

  22. A quotation from Rod Serling

    LYMAN: He’s not the enemy. Scott, the Joint Chiefs, even the very emotional, very illogical lunatic fringe: they’re not the enemy. The enemy’s an age — a nuclear age. It happens to have killed man’s faith in his ability to influence what happens to him. And out of this comes a sickness, and out of sickness a frustration, a feeling of impotence, helplessness, weakness. And from this, this desperation, we look for a champion in red, white, and blue. Every now and then a man on a white horse rides by, and we appoint him to be our personal god for the duration. For some men it was a Senator McCarthy, for others it was a General Walker, and now it’s a General Scott.

    Rod Serling (1924-1975) American screenwriter, playwright, television producer, narrator
    Seven Days in May, film (1964)

  26. CW: Feeding Fear Into The System... only ?

    Your #Fear and #Helplessness also encourages more #attacks.

    #Leaders, #Bullies and Professional #Bastards see you have no #agency of your own and it helps them refine how to twist the screw harder.

    If you're only paying attention to them and not measurably others or 1 other #likeminded person, then they have won your #attention.

    They have won your attention and stolen / occupied your time also from others that could use your attention to actually #build something continually more than a continual #shitshow.

    Namely "better relationships" or just better #minigames between us - that is what we are missing and potentially upgrading as our own 'products', so we are the wiser and also so we personally don't end up BECOMING the next #Musk #Trump #Bezos #Zuckerberg #Clinton or whatever in our own lives.

    Processing the previous 10's of years #emotions is #expected and would be a good start now to see what your #trouble is.
    Not always about global #Climate / #ClimateChange but also your own #Change - What do you want more / less of ?

    Because the next #Bully and Human #Shark will only enjoy making examples of you and others alone pushing his weight around. Whereas others will be more #forgiving and #helpful.

    Don't feed them your fear only
    and don't hang around like fish.

    Prepare #yourselves and others to work for #yourself (!) which means with you, for you, for others instead.

    Don't #feed #fear INTO #systems / leaders.

    You need to work this OUT more personally to the end like and less play into it...

    #Greta style while keeping your own balance... Hashtag #GretaThunberg helps from time to time.

    #Personal #Progress with #Others.

It's genocide but they are our friends and allies so it's ok ... and sure it's just the UN peacekeeping force in the area .. we don't want them there in case they see things they shouldn't ... so a few accidental shots at them like the accidental destruction of all the hospitals in gaza #helplessness :(
