hey folks, im a youngin’ from Massachusetts. i love my state and i like living here, but this country is so twisted, so rotten and decrepit, i have a hard time doing things, especially after the heavy Israeli bombardment on Gaza that’s been happening recently. sometimes i get so upset and i get these gross hot flashes where it feels like my veins are on fire. im not old enough to join political parties, but i wish i was, just so i could have people to talk to about this without fear of being called a dirty commie and having a metric ton of disinformation and anticommunist propaganda thrown at me. folks from the USA, what helps you? how do you cope? much love to any comrades reading this.

    1. Consider talking to a psychologist if you’re having anxiety/depression symptoms
    2. You don’t need to join a political party to talk to people with similar ideas. Are there any student orgs in your area? There is a community center in Boston called Boston Liberation Center that has events quite frequently. Hope that helps!
