I think that you can and should tune it out when it feels overwhelming. You terrifying yourself about things you can’t change isn’t helpful. What’s helpful is that, whether you’ve watched the news today or not, possessing a willingness to do small bits of good in your immediate neighborhood.

Be willing to hold a door open for someone, or push a car out of an icy parking space, or shovel someone’s sidewalk for free, etc. etc. etc.
