THANK YOU for speaking your truth in the language of your heart. I pray that speaking out will bring healing and justice. I pray that Congress can unite about legislation that will make a difference. I also pray that justice can come without sensationalizing and oppressing people who have done nothing to hurt you or anyone else except try to live their truth. That is a lot to pray about but praying i a start.
1. I personally think my time will be better used on social media than direct involvement in discerning what position NPYM or MM's should take.
2. I wholeheartedly endorse Friends' efforts to discern collective action.
3. I think individual Friends can have tremendous influence just talking to people we know, paying attention to, and participating in social media and I wonder whether there are Friends who might like some ongoing back and forth about what we see and post.
I do not apologize for blunt judgmental language in some of the comments below. Sometimes i aspire to do differently, sometimes I figure maybe people need to hear the exact language)
Some social media themes from Elon's sandboxand points I am discerning about usefulness
--Everyone who crossed the border illegally is ALL CRIMINALS so law enforcement should do whatever is necessary.
(If you have ever run a red light, should we consider you a CRIMINAL too? What about tax evasion...? Immigrants are vital to our economy. Basic human dignity. Congressional paralysis about needed reforms, hopes of DREAMErs..._
--They're sending their worst...
(Yes, anyone close to work with immigrant populations knows there ARE immigrant criminals, but since the President just pardoned 1500 violent cop-beating thugs, maybe have some perspective)
--Part of "their sending their worst is VERY explicitly ableist, and distraction like the President's comments in connection with the DC plane crash about #DEI and FAA hiring practices.
Catty aside: nothing like idiomatic English and human pronunciation to dispel any impression that at least THIS video was done by humans and not by AI or only machine translation.
RantWoman has no basis beyond this video for opinion about the assassination described
RantWoman has been too busy paying attention to the onset of the new regime in the US to wander too far into the #Russia #Ukraine war but Jake Broe hits a bunch of different topics.
(RantWoman still wishes he would take pronunciation lessons about Russian place names, but RantWoman just has to COPE)

When in doubt, laugh about something!
