Maybe there is a legitimate or other reason they cannot remove ICE from their business. But who knows if we bury our heads?

Thing is, the problem runs much deeper than the poisoned arrow. How can you get the poison out if you keep ingesting it happily? And if the doctor might be helping the attackers, should we try to ignore that info without a thought?

We should ask questions. You are mistakenly equating truth with armchair philosophy. Nobody is saying to ask inane questions, but pertinent ones apply.

We should not blind ourselves in order to idealize someone. Especially an elected official who should be transparent about these things. Not calling out issues for fear of whatever - that is Trump's game.

What divides us is not facing the truth and deceiving ourselves and wondering how we got here. The false binary is what divides us. Recognizing truth is antithetical to that. But reality is not always pretty.

The elegiac griffin cries.
A cloud of smoke,
A pile of #ash.
Time's distortions unravel.

Part of that is recognizing this world for what it is, and not denying or looking away from the violence that occurs on a daily basis.

If you seek wisdom or self-realization:

You cannot attain true freedom without shedding the bonds of patriarchy that we have been immersed in as a species for millennia.

What is happening to Palestine comes down from a long chain of empire and conquest. This is a continued expression of that violence. Free Palestine.

Pagans who work with deities from the Levant: the people and land that are bleeding from genocide are of these deities. It was stolen by the gods of the three major religions long ago and many people were converted to them over time.

by the oppressor country and its supporters (America) over the past two years. These are the colonizers in power, who have been wielding power for a long time.

We've seen what ICE and the administration have done in mere months to dehumanize, brutalize, and disappear people. Palestinians have been under attack for decades. They have been experiencing a genocidal torture and murder of people, children, their institutions, their culture

This is not just about distracting from the Epstein files. This power grab means they will be able to continue abusing people in all kinds of ways with impunity. A lot of these things happening are distractions from each other too but ultimately serve their goals, one of which is dehumanizing ppl.

Seems like this is by design. We have had much history of mob lynchings to draw from. Allowing or encouraging people to target, scapegoat, and take advantage of marginalized groups.

And there is more than one network serving up trafficked children and people to powerful people. This is not even the full story.

Ultimately, the cult celebrated its success in bankrupting and exhausting its opponents with lawsuits and harassment. As a bonus, the cult got a retraction, apology, and letter of support after a sizeable donation was made by a cult member.

For instance, the cult was named a cult by a publisher and other organizations. This was a big problem at the time.

The cult uses language as a weapon but also has suppressed any language that supports thinking differently. They even have a whole team dedicated to maintaining their image and discrediting or erasing other opinions.

Language influences the way we think. Abusers know this. They intentionally twist things and stamp out language that speaks truth until it is obscured and meaningless.
