Gemini, Libra, Capricorn, & Pisces 💌 - You’re involved in a complicated situation romantically. There’s someone you’ve clicked with on another level, mentally & sexually - you’ve found a lot of healing in their presence & you two may open up to one another like never before. -

You met on vacation/traveling, online, at work, school, or through mutual friends. You two felt a sense of familiarity & comfort from the moment you met, but also trigger feelings of inadequacy in one another stemming from childhood, their mother figure, & on/off affections. -

They’re around & offer support in times when are most convenient for them, rather than keeping the relationship equal & communicative throughout. This response is from childhood, not feeling understood or having others make an effort to understand them. -

They prefer to keep others at a distance bc of this - the emotion & acceptance you’ve poured into them is something stable unlike they’re used to, so their first instinct is to run away & repel from anything that may make them face their darkest insecurities & vulnerabilities. -

Part of them just prefers to live in ignorance & not accept love in bc they aren’t sure if real love exists, what’s true & what’s not. They could have grown up in an abusive home, in foster care, or under a roof of people that never made an effort to nurture or understand them. -

Before the civil rights era, ALL presidential administrations in this country were both white supremacist and white nationalist. In the "modern" era, mainstream politicians learned to performatively eschew white nationalism and embrace what I call "rainbow white supremacy".

Some precisions might be helpful. White nationalism claims this country exists for the benefit of white people -- it's the legalization of white political power. White supremacy is closely tied to white nationalism, but is a broader assertion of white superiority and dominance.

From 1776 through the 1960s (roughly 200 years), the U.S. was an explicitly white nationalist and white supremacist society. After the 60s, many politicians abandoned overtly white nationalist rhetoric without redressing or dismantling centuries of white nationalist policies.

The most important thing to understand is that literally nothing was ever done by our political leadership during or after the civil rights movement to systematically uproot and dismantle the ideologies of white nationalism and white supremacy.

Instead, civil rights legislation and rhetoric were co-opted to *disregard* the white nationalist past and to *ignore* - or worse - *deny* the white supremacist present. (Cue the Bakke decision + every MLK quote used to undermine antiracist activism in the name of colorblindness)

This thread is for all the #girls still in dilemma if they should go on protest or not. YOU MUST. We are celebrating Women Farmer’s day at all protest sites- Singhu, Tikri & other 6 on 18th Jan and your presence is must.
Allow me to give you first hand guide to this protest

I have been here since Dec and I came alone by train. Got down at Bahadurgarh Rly station, took auto for 20/- and reached Tikri Border. At the station itself you will find people in large numbers moving to protest site and that would be enough energy to survive for next few days

For shelter, you can go to Khalsa aid or others too, there will be a lot of choice and you don’t have to worry about absolutely anything. For food, I mean it’s all over the news. You might have to control yourself around so many langars with such delicacies🥺

Sanitation is still a challenge but manageable. More washrooms are being added everyday but you have to wait in mornings. Period products are available and medical camps are put up on 150-200m distance. Doctors are available in their vans and hospital has also been setup.🤗

Women are given preference everywhere in the protest! (Yay)
You don’t have to join long lines of Langar. The babas won’t let you wait, they will call you the moment they see you and give you food. The men in long lines won’t be able to do anything about it. You will feel happy😀

Weaver, Joseph and Young apparently have no understanding of what it means to have a "holistic discussion" on homelessness.

That's not me saying it... that's literally what they are saying in a scheduling meeting now about the followup to Tuesday's meeting.

"I don’t really comprehend what that means bc in the end we make discrete decisions. ... I don’t understand what a holistic (discussion)

Council decided last week that camps will keep being removed BUT they didn't weigh in on staff's recommendations for more enforcement. Members Brockett/Friend said they didn't want to vote on those without also considering more services....

....which might reduce the need for removals.

Basically, you can spend on removals or you can spend on services. So to uncouple these discussions doesn't make sense, they argued.

Council members will be polled about when they want this Part 2 meeting to be, but Weaver and Joseph are both in favor of later. Council needs time to "digest," they said. So possibly March or later.

Thread on Al Qaeda & Taliban:

Ever since Joe Biden has won the elections, we’ve seen some fascinating proposals about the future strategy of Afghanistan. Almost all the analysts and think tanks were dissatisfied with Talibans commitment to break ties with Al Qaeda,...

1/9

... which is a serious matter of concern for the United States.
Although the Taliban have agreed to break ties with Al Qaeda but we’ve seen some recent reports that the two groups are sill collaborating.

2/9

The relationship between Al Qaeda & Taliban is decades old, they’ve helped & stood for each other in most difficult times. When the Taliban agreed to begin negotiations with the U.S, they knew that they would have to break ties with Al Qaeda or other Islamist militants.

3/9

Taliban knew that breaking ties with Al Qaeda will be America’s primary demand, they entered the negotiations after they had a consensus on breaking ties with Al Qaeda.

So far we’ve seen evidence that Al Qaeda has endorsed US-Taliban peace agreement, this suggests that...

4/9

... Taliban had Al Qaeda’s consent for negotiations with the US. Both parties agreed that breaking ties was the only viable option in order to achieve their primary goal of expelling ‘all foreign forces’ from Afghanistan.

5/9

We are expecting snow in the local mountains later this week. We want to remind all the visitors and residents of a few things when traveling. So listen up! Tips are in the thread!

Do not ask us if you should bring chains. BRING THEM. It’s winter, and weather can be a little difficult. If we must issue chain control, you will be prepared since you have them. If you don’t have chains, and chain control is in effect, you’ll have to change your day plans.

Turn on your headlights when driving in the mountains. It helps other drivers see you and you see other drivers. Also, if you see more than 5 cars behind you, pull over into the nearest turnout to let people pass.

Slow. Down. We want you to get to your destination safely. Leave early, allow enough time and drive slow. Icy road conditions can occur, so its best to take your time while driving. Speeding will put you and other drivers at risk, simply because you are in a hurry.

Do not trespass onto private property. CHP is in close contact with property owners who have been advised to contact Law Enforcement immediately of trespassers. The CHP and San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department will respond in haste to cite or possibly arrest trespassers.

They found his car, parked on the bridge between two towns, the brown sooty water of the Ohio passing beneath. After they issued his description two welders working on the bridge remember seeing a man in a topcoat and hat. /1

Friends say he was despondent. His mother had died just a few weeks before, and everyone said his was such a kind, gentle soul. His sisters already knew the worse. They understood Jimmy just as their mother had. 2/

There was no "indian summer" that year. October came in cold, stayed cold, and blew into a cold November. The local police weren't enough, so they called in the Coast Guard to drag the river. 3/

There was only time. Time to wait, but not to worry, only to find out. When they, a sister took to her bed, another retreated to her books, and my mother, the youngest, had to keep it from all falling apart. She was his kid sister, and the adoration was mutual. 4/

She kept the story from her own youngest son, who was only four. When she spoke of him at all, she simply said that he died, honey, and that he was sad. When her son was older, long left, she sent him a photo. 5/

MKULTRA survivor shares how Pierre Trudeau @JustinTrudeau daddy sexually abused her on Mackinaw Island, Michigan

It began w/ her abuse as a child to Gerald R Ford “buying” her, her father was protected under the blanket of National Security + then...

@politico @JustinTrudeau the mind control program was used to control her.
#GuyVanderjagt abused her sexually + she was then dedicated to Sen. Robert Byrd to run operations of drug trafficking.
While in Nashville, TN she watched Sen Byrd on the Grand old Opry stage w/ Wayne Cox on the fiddle. After...

@politico @JustinTrudeau she was subjected to a occult blood ritual. She witnessed Wayne Cox murder a railroad bum at the then abandoned Nashville Railroad yard, and cut off his hands - this was Wayne Cox’s M.O he used the severed hands to reactivate The mercenaries running the drugs in South America...

@politico @JustinTrudeau to remember what he could do to them. #mindcontrol

Nashville and Branson were fronts to distribute + run drugs.

she was sexually abused by @BillClinton + @HillaryClinton when Billy was the Governor of Arkansas. in 1978 his drug trafficking was in full swing. ...

@politico @JustinTrudeau @BillClinton @HillaryClinton Bill wasn’t as much into women as he is men, so the abuse by him was limited.
Her abuse was more at the hands of Hillary, who like Bill, is bisexual w/ each having their primary preferences sexually. Cathy O’Brien succumbed to a new level of mind control under @HillaryClinton

THREAD: Last-Century thinking got humanity into a mess. It worked well though, just too well. Into the third decade of the new century and I am sad to see how little last century thinking is being named and challenged. 1/

OLD THINKING: Take that nature, use that nature. Same amount of land that we stated with, but going on four times the population and much soil erosion behind us. NEW THINKING: use it, put it back, regenerate it. 2/

OLD: Either you are good or bad. Promoted on almost every TV show. Reality is, we created a system and it grew and that system brings out the worst in us to an extent we have forgotten how to bring out the best in each other, almost. 3/

OLD: If you have money you should spend it on what you want. A few people had cars back in the 1920's. Now there are so many on the Earth that they alone can push the climate over the tipping point. NEW: Money should never give you the power and right to commit ecocide. 4/

OLD: the power in the economy is consumption. Using stuff up. Problem is, we are already using more stuff than our earth-society-earth can sustain. Successful ideas like that end badly when there is more human stuff on the earth than natural. 5/

https://t.co/gfXjaJF2tc New study re the views of nonautistic people towards autistic individuals. The aim - to move away from negative stereotypes.
But the 'sample fictional autistic person' is a white male who likes to only talk about fantasy fiction (LOTR).
Er.../

OK, that describes about 1% of autistic people.
And it exactly matches the stereotype myth that all autistic people are like this.
But...if the aim is to improve how people respond to autistic people...how does this fictional character help?/

My concern is that the more we focus on that 1%, the more we a) forget the other 99% exist and b) the more we set people up to fail, on encountering us. I cannot begin to tell you how confused people are that I'm not a young male who can only talk about Sci-Fi & IT, for example/

...and teaching people how to think positive thoughts about a white male fantasy-fiction-fan doesn't get them anywhere when asked to collaborate with a middle aged gay mum. Let alone one who can manage a decent chat on almost any standard topic on earth/

As it happens, I can chat about LOTR, and IT. But probably no more than anyone else on the street.
If we're serious about improving autistic lives, we need to be serious about diversity.

The notion that only western Caucasians can be racist is, in itself, racist, since it implies that white folk are somehow morally superior and should know better - and judging 'superiority' and 'inferiority' are the basis of racism. /2

2. There are many examples of non-white people's racism, often to sub-groups of their own race: the Hindu caste system; the treatment of Chinese Uighurs; even racism amongst light and dark-skinned American blacks.

So why are whites always targeted as 'racists'? /3

3. Why is racism often found where clearly none/little exists? As a specific example: a bearded, long-haired and hirsute man being called an ape by a 13yo girl and booed by crowds, but 86 other Indigenous players not being subjected to 'racist' comments and actions similarly. /4

4. Why is it that the Left is so preoccupied with race and racism? Is it simply to be morally superior? Is it to be the guardians of society? Is it to control a narrative? Is it to be the arbiters of good and evil?

Or is it about their own prejudices and insecurities? /5

5. Those who see racism everywhere are those who look for it. The Offence and Outrage Industry thrives on it, if only to put them in the beatific limelight to signal their virtue loudly and clearly.

Does racism exist? Of course. Does it exist to the degree the Left suggests? /6
