A 37-year-old woman was shot and killed by ICE agents in front of her home on January 7th while sitting in her car with her wife. Their six-year-old daughter and the trauma inflicted on this family represent another tragedy in an ongoing pattern of violence that people witness through social media feeds. The wife was covered in blood following the shooting. This ICE shooting raises urgent questions about mental health, collective trauma, and the psychological toll of witnessing violence online.
Since October 7th, 2023, and throughout recent years, social media users have been exposed to graphic violence including murders of men, women, children, the elderly, toddlers, and babies in Gaza and elsewhere. Watching another human being be murdered creates genuine trauma for viewers. The grief and rage that emerge from witnessing these events can become overwhelming without proper emotional regulation and mental health care.
Hawk addresses the importance of monitoring your mental and emotional states when exposed to traumatic content. Physical movement, walking, and grounding techniques help regulate intense emotions like anger and rage before they spiral out of control. Taking breaks from social media, putting down your phone, reading, watching movies, or simply going for a walk are essential practices for protecting your psychological wellbeing. The pain, grief, anger, and rage from constant exposure to violence can quickly become too much to bear. Mental health must remain a priority even when it feels impossible to step away from breaking news and current events unfolding in real time.
