Trauma shows up in culture as: 1. An excessive focus on achievement and external appearance. 2. Parenting as an insignificant and overlooked role. 3. Ignoring issues like financial insecurity, chronic stress, and loneliness as a root cause of disorders. 4. Urgency: an obsession with being responsive or "on" 24/7. 5. Viewing natural human emotions as a disorder or something to suppress. 6. A fixation on what other people think of us, rather than how we actually feel. 7. Mental health treatments that focus on getting a person to adapt to an unhealthy environment, rather than changing the environment itself. 7. Normalized chronic relationship dysfunction, betrayal, and deception. 8. Systems built around competition, exclusion, and divisiveness. 9. Exhaustion and burnout as something that's normal to get over. 10. Rampant addiction: substances used to numb and dissociate from life as we know it.

Because thoughts and prayers are not enough. @VP and I just created the first White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention.

This is honestly so true 😂 Deion Sanders is living the dream.

Unconditional love without boundaries is self-destruction. Just because you love them doesn't mean you should accept disrespect and be treated like a doormat. You gotta train your no to be stronger than your empathy. The bigger your heart is, the stronger the boundaries you need.

Real Time is coming back, unfortunately, sans writers or writing. It has been five months, and it is time to bring people back to work. The writers have important issues that I sympathize with, and hope they are addressed to their satisfaction, but they are not the only people with issues, problems, and concerns. Despite some assistance from me, much of the staff is struggling mightily. We all were hopeful this would come to an end after Labor Day, but that day has come and gone, and there still seems to be nothing happening. I love my writers, I am one of them, but I’m not prepared to lose an entire year and see so many below-the-line people suffer so much. I will honor the spirit of the strike by not doing a monologue, desk piece, New Rules or editorial, the written pieces that I am so proud of on Real Time. And I’ll say it upfront to the audience: the show I will be doing without my writers will not be as good as our normal show, full stop. But the heart of the show is an off-the-cuff panel discussion that aims to cut through the bullshit and predictable partisanship, and that will continue. The show will not disappoint.
