🔥Healing is revolutionary.
⚡️Breaking cycles of pain-passing: personal, generational, systemic & global.
⚡️Knowledge • self-inquiry • embodied healing • narrative transformation.
⚡️Be the change. Build the new world.

Pain isn’t just yours - sometimes it’s passed down.

Critical parents, bullying, being unheard… it can show up inside us or directed at others.

The good news? You can stop the chain. Awareness + conscious choice = freedom.

I’ve been in politics for over a half-century. I’ve watched as corporations and the super-rich flooded D.C. with campaign cash and ransacked our system.

It won't be easy, but here’s how we break the corporate oligarchy and return power to the people. https://youtu.be/sP0pRIBRcDk?si=o8uynfvuoVhcX7p8

Immigration is good. Immigration makes Britain better. Immigration is the lifeblood of any and every successful society. Without Immigration Britain cannot prosper. Without Immigration you cannot have the economy and society you want. That is all.

🔥 Despite Reform’s surge, the overall swing in local elections in the East of England region was towards the broad left.

Don’t let the media noise fool you.

The right didn’t advance - it fragmented. Here’s how...
The right is not rising in the East
Reform may have seized the Conservatives’ mantle in the local elections, but this is not a rise of the right in the East

imo attempts to stratify class distinctions based on the physicality of one’s labor misses the forest for the trees. prole and bourgeois no longer work. at this point in the game, there is the 1% and there is everyone else. the 99% need to be a united front against the 1%.

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022.

That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations.

So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?
