Sustainability is key. Boosting, sharing resources, & learning when your body is telling you to take a break. Go regulate. Go eat. Get some sleep. And then come back with a clearer mind and lighter body. You wanna play the long game

You don’t have to watch anything

Esp if you know it’s a trigger & you don’t got tools/access to community to regulate yourself

We need to be in better relationships with our bodies

There are options other than ignore vs I have to take this trauma directly to the face

ICE is a paramilitary force that the regime is using to terrify the American people.

It is treason.

It is impeachable.

ICE agent Jonathan Ross killed Renee Nicole Good, 37, while she was in her car on Jan. 7.

The fatal shooting was at least the 9th time ICE agents have shot into cars since September.

At least 5 people have been killed in Trump's immigration crackdown.

32 others died in ICE custody last year.

Rest in power to Keith Porter who was murdered by an ICE agent in Los Angeles.

It’s terrible that his name is just now being circulated, but now that it is, continue to say his name.
Advocates want legal action after man shot and killed by off-duty ICE agent in Northridge
Advocates argue that the off-duty ICE agent wasn't trained for the situation and should have called police and waited for them to arrive.

The next 36 hours of astrology:

violence, overdoses, mental health episodes, accidents, possible blackouts, gaslighting, lies, arguments, misunderstandings, and infectious disease spreading (covid and flu.)

This could last through January 18 in one form or another. A likely peak is now.

As someone who was out protesting routinely when DHS was created, this is absolutely not what DHS was created to do. It was created to give unlimited and unified surveillance and state enforcement powers over all of American life.
@petebuttigieg.bsky.social: "We have an ICE agent who should have been trained not to be in front of a vehicle and never to shoot into a moving vehicle, and yet this happened on [Kristi Noem's] watch. The whole POINT of Homeland Security is to make this country more stable and safe."

“ICE’s godless tactics are a total affront to the gospel of Jesus Christ. It stands in the face of the faith of our ancestors. It mocks the women & men who reared us to love the truth, to stand up for justice, & to never stand by idly while tyrants trample on the dignity and life of our neighbors.”
Pope Leo has condemned ICE more than a dozen times—and wept after hearing migrants describe the terror they endured. Now, after ICE killed a widowed American mother, it’s clear: no Catholic can remain in ICE.

If you have the courage to take the first step, the Church will help you find better work.
Every Catholic Must Resign from ICE — Today
After a year of inhumane raids and papal rebukes, it’s clear no Catholic can in good conscience remain with ICE any longer.

If you think the elections in November are going to fix this you are delusional. Every year, regardless of leadership, ICE’s budget went up, every year our borders became more violent. This is an escalation yes, but a chapter of a much longer novel.

I learned about the MOVE bombing 10 years ago in my early 30s in my MSW program because of one professor
If you're not American and are like, wait the US bombed its own citizens in a major US city? Yes. And then some researchers thought it was a good idea to secure the remains of two of the children killed and show them off in class for funsies
