So the House is going to vote TOMORROW on the DHS funding bill that includes funding for ICE.

There's a real chance we can get Dems to vote NO on any bill with ICE funding to sink it.

Once it goes to the Senate we likely lose this chance.

24 hours. Go.

Do not obey in advance.
Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and then offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.

Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.

Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.

But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

Remember this.

Wormholes may not exist – we’ve found they reveal something deeper about time and the universe
Science fiction imagines wormholes as shortcuts through spacetime. But the original idea suggests they could be something far stranger.

"The first to break were those who believed it would all end soon. After them came those who believed it would never end. Those who survived were the ones who focused on their own actions, without expectations about what might or might not happen."

You share your being with everyone and everything.
To recognise that you share your being with all others is to recognise that the apparent other is not really other at all.

As something beautiful
You have allowed the river of grace
To flow again
And it will heal you.

Our energy is identical to the universal energy.
We are all the same universal stuff.
The only thing that 'dies' on the occasion of our death is the illusion of self.
...It is a homecoming that brings a return to source, the source with which we are already at one.

The simplified Four Noble Truths:

1. Say YES to life: the good, and the challenges.
Let be, or you will suffer.

2. Let all reactivity be or go.

3. Dwell in a sense of not knowing.

4. Live the above.

The fact of being, being aware or awareness itself is what you are before you are a mind or a body, before you are coloured or shaped by experience.
Like a screen before a movie appears upon it. 1/

"The best way of using the mind is to observe it, but with detachment. Observe what arises, emotionally, energetically, mentally, but try not to log into them.

And it may take a while to settle, because so many things will come knocking at your door. 1/
