No cable news, no local news, no network news. I'm not watching late night comedy talk shows either.
Unfollowing any social media accounts that share clips of Trump. My #1 self care rule is to avoid the sound of his voice.

If anything important happens I'll find out about it through the Associated Press breaking news emails.
Not going to spend another 4 years allowing Donald Trump's endless drama to consume my life.
