Sometimes it’s easy to fall into the outrage machine. I have quite frequently. But remember to come back within to the place where peace resides. Take a breath, notice the beauty around. Reset. #peace #meditation #photography

I want to be wrong but this feels like a massive trap is being set for the state of Palestine by two people who could not care less about the existence of Palestine or the people of Palestine.

Netanyahu's genocide cannot be ignored. He must face trial.

Homeless people are not the enemy.

They can’t “just try harder” their way into housing.

It’s the system that’s failing.

Most of us are one emergency away from being homeless ourselves.

We need affordable housing, universal basic income, healthcare & social supports.

We need a safety net

JOHNSON: No. It's scheduling

MJ: Only reason was bc they flew in their family

NN: So if she flies in her family you'd do it?

MJ: Again, it's a distraction

If ICE agents are willing to shoot a US citizen in broad daylight, as they did with Marimar Martinez in Chicago, imagine what they’re doing to undocumented immigrants.

They shot her in front of witnesses & with body cams turned on

The horrors facing those disappeared to camps are sure to be worse

“There will be jobs that it eliminates,” he said. “You’re better off being way ahead of the curve and retrain people.”

This is probably the best time to be in organized crime since before the repeal of prohibition in 1933. I mean if you wanted to commit high level non-immigrant related crime, now is the time to go hog wild.
