I completely agree! 😊

This is a level of dehumanization that is so disappointing to see play out—the willingness to ruin other people's lives without a care, just to chase the sordid desires of fleeting spotlight... So sad. (2/2) ⬆️

I fear the dangerous precedent has been set for people with seedy motives to call ICE on others as not only a power-play but also as a means to boost their status/profile in this current sociopolitical climate. (1/2) ⬇️

It's like it becomes a need or something we can't really turn off

Absolutely! 💯

I personally have been embracing slowing down and taking refuge in the quieter moments of life these past few months, realigning within and reconnecting with the world around me. (2/2) ⬆️ #humanity #existence

YouTube video by Kee The Psychology of People Who Are Tired of Existing

A very interesting video by that relates to why the act of embracing "rest" is resistance in this world. To reject "the chase" by reclaiming our space of existence is when we can begin to allow life to be poured back into our being. (1/2) ⬇️ #humanity #existence

“If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.”

—from The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien

Pritzker: "Imagine it. Children who woke up that morning, expectant with joy & excitement to put on their costumes & celebrate with their neighbors in what they thought was a safe place at their homes. Armed, masked agents, terrorizing innocent people, especially children, is unconscionable."

To be depressed, or to not fully know if you are depressed...? That is the question 😮‍💨

To avoid spreading fear, please do not share information that has not been verified with ACILEP. If you do report to ACILEP, be sure to share as much information as possible, including a physical description of individuals or vehicles, etc.

ICE is in the Bay – some advice from Berkeley’s mayor

The unchecked coexistence of commodification and mass production means systemic justifications made for mass corruption, exploitation, and dehumanization. (2/2) ⬆️ #society #humanity

As soon as something is commodified, it slowly gets stripped of its raw essence and origins. As soon as that something is fed into the mass production machine, it's further stripped of its soul and meaning. (1/2) ⬇️ #society #humanity

This is why algorithms thrive on strong emotion to drive discourse & trend. But tapping into such intense energy often takes a toll on our body, psyche, & spirit.

Our depletion means a thriving algorithm.

Embrace your pause for reflection as we continue being flooded with the "sensational."

For the past several years now, I've come to see religion and faith as two separate mediums, both with the ability to co-exist with one another as well as the ability to operate separately.

A broken wrist!? Hope the mending and healing process is going smoothly 🙏🏾

Society's affinity towards sensationalism is what drives us into easily falling prey to reactionary behavioral conditioning. #society #psychology #sociology

Just something to keep in mind... #society #socialawareness

Block Club Chicago, News Organizations Sue Feds Over First Amendment Violations Four of our journalists have been shot with pepper-spray bullets and tear-gassed while covering protests outside the Broadview ICE facility. A judge heard arguments at an emergency hearing Monday.

@blockclubchi.bsky.social, our nonprofit newsroom, is suing the federal government after 4 of our journalists were shot w/ pepper-spray bullets & tear-gassed by federal agents at Broadview.

Here's why we're defending our First Amendment right to report — and your right to know:

NPR obtains memo about deploying Illinois Guard in Chicago In a memo obtained by NPR, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth lays out details on the proposed deployment of Illinois National Guard to Chicago.

Some info for awareness...

And we are seeing those consequences play out in real time. 😔 Get busy, people.

I knew the truth, but I was being really nice with the timeline trying to soften the blow of reality for people.

Hopefully, more people are awake now? 🤷🏾‍♀️🫠

I still stand by what I said... Build your #community archives. Connect with your local groups. Start strategizing what skills you can contribute or build and what resources you can share with those around you, especially with the most vulnerable.

Act, as if you needed to yesterday.

On a more serious note, I was thinking about what people that were that deep in it, prepped for it (sold their property, quit their jobs, etc.), and made their peace with it do when they find out they were wrong? 👀

That's actually the thing that probably scares me most about this.

Part 1 of Infinity Castle was awesome! And even though I knew what was coming, I still wasn't ready 😭. Though the movie was definitely worth the wait 🥰

So... the rapture. You'd think people were preparing to be beamed up into a giant UFO descending from the sky. I thought our fellow space brethren were fleeing from our little blue rock. Has the intergalactic invasion of Earth begun? And more importantly, will I have enough time for brunch? 🧐

I recommend that you review and think through everything I've said in this thread since everything relates to one another. (2/2)

I'm for the pursuit of truth, but it seems to me that along the way, the bigger picture is being lost here. For context, what I'm speaking about is in reference to the intentional erosion of the pillars that govern emotional intelligence by today's institutional powers. (1/2)
