Christianity has been a tool of oppressive government since Constantine.
Still is.
The church wonβt denounce adultery, sexual assault, child molesting, theft, grift, abusing the poor, hungry, sick, immigrantsβ¦
So the regime no longer notices - let alone investigates - church crimes.
Empathy is a choice. You either recognize and empathize with the lived experiences of people or you see them as other, things not people.

If 12 people are at a dinner party, eating and talking and 1 is a Nazi, there are 12 Nazis at the table.
Any Christian or Christian church that is not loudly and continuously denouncing the Christofascists, Christian nationalists, and actions of the regime are part of the problem.
Diabetic feet need good shoes. SAS works for me. Expensive, but they hold up well. Time to buy a couple of new pair, they arrived today.

And we are seeing more and more evidence that those being held - deported or not - are being brutalized and tortured by the Gestapo guarding them.
The intent is to cause maximum harm before they get out.
I had spent years being really messed up. I worked hard to get ready to start HRT - no therapy, lots of shadow work and growth. I really would not have been ready to transition any sooner.

I like her approach, it is less formal and more intuitive than Cooper, and utilizes basic magical shapes and symbols found in cultures around the world from the early cave paintings to modern times.

Way way back when I was first learning magic I bought a copy of Phillip Cooperβs βBasic Magick.β He leaned heavily into sigils, so that was foundational to me.
I use sigils and icons and vision boards as part of my regular practice.
That is a cool expression.

I often type it out and edit down, playing with words and pacing, then hand write to get the actual tight focus.
50/50 on using that as the spell or using it as a script for spoken.

Firing 7000 IRS agents will make it even easier for the rich to get away with skirting what they owe.
But it's also a gift to the multi-billion dollar tax prep industry.
Fewer IRS agents to help you file your taxes means moreΒ money in the pockets of companies like TurboTax.
Thatβs like saying 4 star Gen Brown was appointed because heβs black or the Blackhawk hit the airliner because the pilot was a blonde woman.
It is not okay to be misogynist or racist or homophobia because a person is corrupt or evil.
Attacks on looks are a distraction from actual acts.
Since when� What?
She is corrupt and serves evil. She is useful because she has skills and uses them competently.
βSkillsβ and βcompetencyβ have nothing to do with evil or corrupt.
Attacking her looks instead of her historical and current actions is simple misogyny.
Tell them the new βmeritβ standards are built on how much money you already have and skills that can be exploited by the billionaire.
Being nasty to people is easy and common and has zero value by itself.
Without money and exploitable skills theyβll never be noticed.
