thisiselevateacademyThere are some people whose light is so radiant that even when they leave this world, it continues to shine through every life they touched. Meghan Connors was one of those rare souls. ✨A survivor, advocate, and brilliant speaker, Meghan turned her pain into purpose. She spent years training law enforcement, hospitals, and advocates to better understand and serve survivors of exploitation. Even through years of illness, she kept showing up — for others, for justice, for love.In her final days, she reminded us what grace looks like. She didn’t fear what was coming — she only wanted to make memories with those she loved. Meghan often said, “I’ll meet you at the stars,” a phrase she began using after her daughter’s passing. Now, those words carry even deeper meaning for all of us who were blessed to know her.Thank you, Meghan, for your courage, your advocacy, your laughter, and your heart. You showed us what it means to live with purpose even in the hardest of seasons. We’ll carry your legacy forward — and we’ll meet you at the stars. 🌟Want to help with funeral arrangements:https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-meghan-connors-final-days-with-love?utm_campaign=fp_sharesheet&fbclid=IwdGRjcAN1xtFleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHpkKKmE8nL0rdw5LFxZE9CIozzT5XnhCBI-dCfGhelc2gKg6cqApI52rVatR_aem_tWGxu6K0svRhmHDKIB_4og

Blowing up boats and murdering folks is a war crime, especially when there is no evidence to support the decision.

Hegseth is in charge of the Pentagon and he’s the one giving illegal orders, but he’ll blame Admiral Bradley to save his own skin.

Hegseth should be removed and held accountable.

This is disgusting.
Hegseth called one chapter in his 2024 book, “The Laws Of War, For Winners.”

He wrote: “Our boys should not fight by rules written by dignified men in mahogany rooms eighty years ago.”

(He also fantasized about treating Americans like overseas combatants.)

Israeli hostage Dror Or was laid to rest in Kibbutz Be’eri. Dror was murdered and his body taken hostage during Hamas’s October 7th attack. His wife Yonat Or was also murdered that day, and two of his kids, Alma and Noam, were kidnapped to Gaza. May Dror’s memory be a blessing 🕯️❤️

Many have refugees in their family’s past. My husband’s uncle by marriage was on Franco’s death-list (he was anti Franco). He escaped over the Pyrenees + to 🇬🇧 where he met OH’s aunt.
Just as well, as when his mum died, they took him in/brought him up as their own

Trump’s only yelling “release the files” because he knows the vote will force it anyway.

He spent years protecting himself and his crew, now he’s pretending he wants the truth.

No one is buying it!

"Observing Johnson in recent months has been like watching an extended Road Runner cartoon, where the Coyote fashions intricate knots of congressional procedure in order to tie himself to a giant stack of lit dynamite."

ICEstapo detained 81 people in Charlotte, NC yesterday.

The internet is littered with videos of them using excessive force and ignoring legal documentation provided by the detainees.

Here’s my advice for ICEstapo:

Take a night off.

Go to the movies.

Watch “Nuremberg”.

Your time is coming.

The use of terror is not a byproduct of Trumpian politics: it is central to how he governs.
(Politico) - An Indiana Senate Republican who President Donald Trump called out in a Truth Social post Sunday for not backing the White House’s plan to draw new congressional maps was later targeted by a swatting, according to local authorities.

Such a powerful video ... and to learn there are about 1000 victims and just this handful has come forward. There's a lot of pain hiding in darkness still and too many perpetrators in plain sight living free and feeling invincible.

It's time to address this longstanding atrocity. Vote to release!
