In my personal journey, I came to be permanently skeptical of all organized religions. None of them are infallible, all of them are a cult to a degree. Here are some other beliefs I hold today:

1 - There might be something real behind exorcisms and hauntings, regardless of the validity of the religions who treat them. I base this on conversations I’ve held with witnesses I trust.

2 - I don’t think there is only one higher power. Whether there are tiers, I cannot say.

3 - The evidence for reincarnation is fascinating. Check out the history of the university of Virginia and it’s department dedicated to the supernatural.

4 - Some people can see/commune with the dead. Whether any can do it at will is another story. Most of the people I believe are private about it, most of those who sell the service seem phony.

5 - Although I don’t believe in any religion, I was my best self when I did. Faith in a moral cause does wonders for the soul, regardless of factuality. Prayer, meditation, and ritual are good for the soul. Community is incredible.

If the Dems didn’t want this they shouldn’t have dressed that way /s

Isn’t this a tactic he’s done countless times over the last several decades?

We should be concerned about both.

The Latin American gang crisis is real. Biden wanted to tackle it, and Congress said no. They have funding from c#ina to create issues at our border to destabilize us.

Of course, every single arrested person deserves due process. Many are being targeted maliciously right now under false pretenses.

Ruzzia is of course the greater threat. They are also very weak right now. Their victory with US sabotage is honestly their biggest win in decades, and their other fronts are utter failures. But their cruelty and focus on our demise has resulted in a surgical counterintelligence strike that will forever harm American life much moreso that the Latin American gangs.

The greatest threat is c#ina, should they get more involved.

You are correct. It falls on all of America, starting with the justice system, to recognize that order.

We need to save due process.

Exactly. Both things that a day before we were told could never happen.

The game is not over

Bukele has already blinked.

I am not worried for Booker. The tide is slowing down, and may turn soon if the pressure continues from all sides. Trump has played his hand badly.

He did leave CECOT. He had been out of CECOT for one week before he met the senator.

And he can leave his current facility, too. He did for this photo shoot at a hotel.

All it takes is for Bukele to change his tune. Which he has, already once.

The pressure campaigns are working. Do not give up on this man.

That would presume capitalism was not already just another term for neo feudalism

Ignoring the court is a dereliction of his duty as president, so he would not be immune from contempt if the supreme Court criminally charged him, per their own parameters when they granted him partial immunity.

This is a very relevant point

So demure, very mindful

I keep a lot of personal notes in discord like it’s a journal. Is that now a bad idea? I’ve loved discord for years but what’s happening on Reddit currently scared me off that platform already, just like Xitter

Polls do matter, because it won’t go over well to “Mousolini” him if he still has a strong base. But clearly he and Bukele are wary of the growing unrest, or else they would not have separated Garcia from the CECOT gen pop or allowed a photo op.

We are only 3 months in and he has flinched a few times. There is serious hope that his reign will be much shorter than Erdogan’s, for example, regardless of his personal health.

“His announcement Tuesday, pledging to spend $20 million on its efforts, triggered a wave of criticism and concern from some Democrats, including members of Congress, DNC members and Democratic strategists, many of whom expressed frustration over Hogg’s dual roles as an activist and party representative”

I’m sorry, are they openly saying they don’t want Democrat leadership to be… Active?

Fucking hell, this is why I never became one

Nah, i prefer making jerky myself. Makes it last longer.

Real geniuses refer to websites with cock in the name, not heavily researched and peer reviewed articles with cited sources.

Funny enough, reality isn’t usually reduced to two extreme options. Simple thinking like that appeals to simple minds tho.

The notion that we must be sheep or wolves completely ignores the potential to cooperate in order to create value or defend common rights. Without cooperation, economic value could not be created. Yet that’s inconvenient when one wants to justify shitty behavior.
