Trauma-Informed Politics

I’m sharing a simple action guide (for those of us in the Gorge and beyond) after President Trump threatened strikes on Iranian power plants and bridges—civilian infrastructure—as early as tomorrow (Tuesday).

This is exactly the kind of moment where it matters that:
• Congress authorizes military action
• Civilians are not treated as targets

I pulled together a quick 3-minute action guide with scripts and contact links for our Gorge representatives.

If you’ve been looking for something concrete to do—this makes it easy.

If you take action, drop a 👍 or comment—maybe we can build a little momentum.

First post in the new "Informed Adult" newsletter (which acknowledges that adulting is hard and multi-faceted). I just finished following my own advice, sharing a link to the Wired article with my three Republican representatives in Congress and state legislature (using the verbiage I recommend below).

Onward!

Today's post.

Adapting to change is hard. Especially if what's coming is far outside our internal or external experience.
