Honestly, I prefer a left wing echo chamber but I love to fact check and analyze. Right wing echo chambers are full of dismissives and just exhausting

Honestly, why would I sell when there is no place else to move to? It is due to REITs and financialization of housing?

The vast majority of trauma survivors I've ever met don't want anything "special." They want the opportunity to find out who they are without the ghosts of their past polluting their thoughts, beliefs, & decisions-- autonomy that the normies take for granted.

No more; no less.

Still so core to my fundamental ethics, even after I left The Church. How do today's Christians miss, like, the entire New Testament??

Dr. Damien P. Williams! Look over here! … It's All For You! @wolvendamien.bsky.social · Nov 8

I'm not a Christian, and haven't been one for a long time, but i've always found these words and what they're supposed to mean to be the fundamental core of Christianity, even over and above the Sermon on the Mount, and I truly don't understand people who miss this.

"He will say to those on his right, 'Come: take your inheritance. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat; I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink; I was a stranger and you invited me in; I needed clothes and you clothed me; I was sick and you looked after me; I was in prison and you came to visit me.'

“And the righteous will answer him, 'When did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When were you a stranger to us yet we invited you in, or in need of clothes and we clothed you? When were you sick or in prison and we cared for you?'

"He will reply, 'Truly I tell you, whatsoever you did for any of my siblings in need, you also did for me.'

“Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me. For I was hungry and you told me to starve; I was thirsty and you poisoned my water; I was a stranger and you drove me into the desert and death; I needed clothes and you refused to clothe me; I was sick and in prison and you did not care for me.’

"They also will answer, 'When were you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and yet we did not care for you?'

"He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatsoever you refused to do for any of my siblings in need, you refused to do for me.'"

Also not a Christian anymore but this kind of ethic is still core to my very being. How do today's 'Christians' miss it?

Kristi Noem claimed antifa is “just as dangerous” as Hamas and ISIS. But the facts don’t agree. Antifa isn’t an organization: it’s a loose movement with no membership or centralized funding. “Comparing these groups is like comparing apples and bricks,” says a social-movements expert.

Why the Trump administration’s comparison of antifa to violent terrorist groups doesn’t track

Kristi Noem’s claim that antifa is like the Islamic State group blurs the line between protest and terrorism – a political move unsupported by evidence.

🚨BIG changes happening -- ICE leadership is being purged tonight. The old guard, which prioritized targeted enforcement operations aimed at people with criminal records, is being replaced with Border Patrol and Gregory Bovino's "Midway Blitz" style.

Think things are bad now? It'll get worse.

Bill Melugin
@BillMelugin_
BREAKING: Per four senior DHS & Trump admin sources, a mass removal of ICE leadership around the country is underway, with up to 12 ICE field office chiefs being removed & reassigned in an effort to increase deportation numbers. I'm told the move is spearheaded by Corey Lewandowski, and a handful of the ICE Chiefs will likely be replaced by Border Patrol & CBP officials, some of whom will be hand-picked by aggressive & controversial Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino. I'm told some of the ICE leadership removed from their positions include the ICE Field Office Directors in:

- Los Angeles
- Phoenix
- Philadelphia
- Denver
- El Paso
- San Diego
- Seattle/Portland
- New Orleans

Border Patrol officials taking over ICE leadership positions would be extremely significant, as Border Patrol and ICE do different things, and I've done numerous ride-alongs/embeds with both.

Generally speaking, ICE typically conducts very targeted operations, largely going after criminal illegal aliens or those with deportation orders, but almost always knowing who they are targeting for arrest, often conducting surveillance to learn their schedules before and waiting hours before arresting them if needed.

Border Patrol, under Trump 2.0, while sometimes doing their own targeted operations, has been extremely aggressive and has been at the forefront of some of the most controversial immigration enforcement operations we've seen so far, carrying out roving patrols in Los Angeles, Chicago, etc, often at Home Depot, car washes, flea markets etc, leading to a handful of federal judges around the country issuing injunctions against them. A majority of the viral videos you see online are Border Patrol agents, including the use of a Trojan horse style Penske moving truck at a Los Angeles Home Depot, an operation organized by Bovino.

ICE often gets blamed for what Border Patrol does, as the media and activists often cannot tell the difference between federal agents, and everyone is called "ICE". I'm told there are growing concerns about the political and PR fallout associated with some of the roving patrols Border Patrol is conducting as lawsuits continue to stack up and mid-terms approach next year.

I'm told there is significant friction within different wings of DHS and the administration, with Border Czar Tom Homan & ICE Director Todd Lyons preferring to prioritize targeting criminal aliens & the "worst of the worst" or those with deportation orders, while DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, Corey Lewandowski, and BP Commander Bovino prefer to use aggressive tactics to arrest anyone in the US illegally, including but not limited to criminals, to ramp up deportation numbers and achieve President Trump's promises of mass deportations.

I am hearing from both sides of this friction.

One senior DHS official tells me:

"ICE started with the worst of the worst, knowing every target they are hitting, but since Border Patrol started in LA in June, we've (DHS) lost our focus, going too hard, too fast, with limited prioritization. It's getting numbers, but at what cost?".

Border Patrol agents I've talked to defend their tactics, with one telling me:

"What did everyone think mass deportations meant? Only the worst? Tom Homan has said it himself, anyone in the US illegally is on the table."

It's quite a situation, as both sides of this are on the same team, with the same end goals, but different perspectives on how to get there.

Another DHS official confirmed the personnel changes to me on deep background, adding that the moves are based on performance and doing what is needed to achieve the best results.

Official statement to
@FoxNews

@TriciaOhio
:

"While we have no personnel changes to announce at this time, the Trump Administration remains laser focused on delivering results and removing violent criminal illegal aliens from this country."
