"Integration" in trauma recovery is not about making "parts" disappear. It's about our parts developing the capacity & willingness to work w/ & support each other, so we're not violently & unpredictably slamming in & out of self-states like we often were pre-recovery.

As predicted, the new regime is expanding its use of concentration camps to house undesirables and Untermenschen, oops I mean "illegals", by which I actually mean "people fleeing for their lives."
We only know this man is in Gitmo because Noem tweeted a propaganda photo that included him and his sister saw it. He has no criminal record. He entered the US in January and immediately made an appointment with CBP to claim asylum. They sent him to a concentration camp bc of his basketball tattoo.
Venezuelan Migrant Sent to Guantánamo Bay Is ‘Not a Criminal,’ Family Pleads (Gift Article)
Luis Alberto Castillo arrived in the United States so that he could “give everything to his son,” said his sister. Then, while scrolling on TikTok, she found out he was headed to Guantánamo.

Please remember something: if you had said a year ago that Trump would do even a fraction of these things, you would have been mocked, belittled, accused of “Trump derangement syndrome,” and dismissed by certain people.
