Want to Love Your Neighbor? Grieve With Them Who we choose to grieve indicates who we consider to be human.

"In the face of gross dehumanization that leads to violence, the love ethic looks like active (re)humanization of people who are being erased," writes Elom Tettey-Tamaklo.

@mjfrombuffalo.bsky.social Hi! You randomly popped into my head because I was watching some f***** up political thing and thought I haven't offered you my couch in a while!

I can't send PM until I can prove I'm an adult which we all know I'm really not on the inside.🀣

Hope you are well!

Quick reminder to those that have forgotten. Orchestrated 'Camps' in North America existed before now. There are people that are still alive today, that remember. Japanese internment camps were common 70 years ago. @georgetakei.bsky.social has lived through it and posted about it. History repeats

' hard-line' ideas??

Are we now sugar coating blatant hate when calling for the demise of others?

I am still not on this site often enough

Let's update. You may not see this because I don't post enough.

1. Israel is committing a genocide. Let's recognize this without vilifying Jewish people. I know, radical.

2. The Gestapo now exists in the United States. History dear children, does repeat.

Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

πŸ’― true.

If acknowledging this,causes you to hate an entire nation of people, you are continuing the cycle of hatred. You are unable to recognize, that people within every group are capable of hatred and repeating history. That doesn't mean,every person within that group shares a dangerous ideology.

Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, scholars' association says Israel has strongly denied that its actions in Gaza amount to genocide and says they are justified as self defense. It is fighting a case at the International Court of Justice.

The world’s leading genocide scholars’ association has passed a resolution saying that the legal criteria have been met to establish Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, its president says.

There was no immediate response from the Israeli foreign ministry.

I cannot emphasize enough how true & real this is.

In almost anywhere on the political spectrum you ID with or major issue, there’s probably a bot/troll operation to encourage your rage and vitriol.

And how/where that rage gets directed, esp understandable rage, is what they are out to influence.

We are watching history repeat itself and it's using new technology to do so.
Let's remember something, that I didn't even know at the time of my education. People knew even back then, what was happening. They knew like we do now. THEY. KNEW.

I'm not on here enough and I have to admit, I'm struggling to remember this exists.

I need to try more to be on here because I have a lot to say about history repeating itself right now.

It's repeating itself at an accelerated rate, which even the accelerated rate, is being noted.

I want to remind all of you anti-alcohol Christians that in The Bible Jesus is the leading cause of drinking at parties.

A house divided against itself cannot stand.

But it can stagger forward, drunkenly, punching itself, for a couple of centuries.

The train was crowded with hippies up from Glastonbury. Obviously a long time since they had seen a bath.

Hot take about humanity; let's rephrase a sentence we've heard time and time again.

'Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat'.

Nope.

Humanity does not care about past atrocities. We are doomed to repeat it, because we want to.

Emotional priming.

Be vigilant to it. It's not the absence of empathy it is the manipulation of it.

We are at a very VERY critical and dangerous point in history since WW2 and the cold war.

We are here now.

If you aren't terrified then you are indoctrinated.

We all have a choice.

Even the military has a choice.

Yes, it's all very nuanced but at one point, do we shed the nuance and the social expectations and just recognize, we are bowing down to a dictatorship and it's dangerous.

You signed up for this long ago. Remember that.

It started with early education and this belief that you are the best and the most superior country in the world.

this was predicted.

Yet, we didn't expect it.

This may seem extreme but look at history, look at how whole societies have done this before.

I’m not saying we should flood this line with UFO reports but I’m not NOT saying that either.

I appreciate you sharing that. I have experience around people with autism and substance misuse but that doesn't mean that I know everything and it doesn't mean I always get it right. Thank you for sharing your experiences and views on this. I think they are valid and need to be listened to.

I think this video has been edited. He very well could be. I'm basing my view on previous videos of his where others pointed out his Autism and I have seen people with Autism under the influence. But that doesn't mean I'm correct here.

Don't apologize! That's why I mentioned I might be ignorant on this. Thank you for educating me.

This is bad news how!?

This is the best news I've actually heard today. Potentially.

I'm happy to be called out for being ignorant on this but given that we rely on bees to survive as a planet I'm gonna go on a limb here and say, good news!?
