I have been watching on Netflix - Who killed Malcom X and I have been wondering what happen to the passion of the civil right movements. We need that passion back. People need to wake up and realize that if we don’t wake up as a country and take back the reigns from T and the Republicans we are going to go back 60 years. All the progress that was done will be lost. This time it’s about all of us. The poor, middle class, minorities, whites etc...this effects each and everyone of us. Everyday they find a new way to screw us from our retirements our social security, pre-existing condition protection (I worked in billing and you don’t want to go back to the time we’re insurance companies found away to screw the patients) food stamps, SSI. The list can go on and on.
We can’t be fearful and think that they are winning so we can give up. We need that passion that unites us all. Think positive. Portray confidence. Don’t fall into despair. Don’t have negative thoughts. Have strength and faith. Think of Martin Luther King and Malcom X they knew they were marked men but they went out anyways. This time it’s not about African Americans civil rights it’s all our rights as Americans. They are too many people sleeping and not paying attention. They have faith that the senate will stop him and they are not. What will it take for a big awakening?
Also side note Malcom X reminds me so much of Obama I don’t know why but he just does.
In regards to Barr going and saying that T makes his job harder and he is “complaining” T put him up to it so he doesn’t get blamed for interfering in Stone sentencing. And all the people going back to work for T it’s cause they can’t find no one else who can stand him. No one can control him he is a loose cannon.
It's heartening to read your hopeful post and so many others. I think part of the despair I feel at times is in part because I work with immigrant women and children. What is happening to them at the point is beyond words. There is a new policy in the immigration courts that will lead to mass deportation of children. It's new and hasn't gotten press, and I can hardly believe it myself, but it's the new fresh hell this administration is rolling out. So every day that monster is in office is a day I feel dread. It can be hard to distinguish between prescient feelings and just plain anxiety when you're so close to a situation, and so enmeshed. But everyone's sense that things will work out gives me hope that they will. What a great community this is.
I love what you wrote. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Beautiful.
Time in Spirit world is very different. Who knows what soon will mean? But they seem to be telling everyone it is coming and to be calm
I have begun to notice that with each new thing Trump has done since his acquittal, I take in his actions, shake my head and move on. I move on because I feel it is one step closer to his demise. He will cause this own demise. Do his actions bother me? Absolutely! Do they bring me fear? Briefly. Do they disgust me? Yep.
But, he is showing who he is for more people to see. When the shoe (store ) drops, it will be over soon after. I trust this. I can't go dark for long.
I think I need to bring light not more darkness. I think my job is to have faith and be a hopeful light.
Typing this is making me smile so I am going to trust that this is part of my purpose right now. Even if it just helps one or two people. That and to grow and develop my intuition and whatever gifts I have to develop.
In the meantime, democracy will take a beating but it will not die altogether. We are not a people who will take this lying down. They will have to imprison millions of people. The rule of law was crushed in Nazi Germany from 1933 to 1945 and they came back and became a great democracy. Germany has free higher education and health care too, by the way.
This is a good point to bring up, as we are witnessing many disconcerting parallels to the methods by which Hitler consolidated power. It is clear king Orange is an eager student of this monster and other dictators, and he is willing to give voice, legitimacy, and inspiration to antisemites and white supremacists. Let's not forget how many millions were murdered by the Nazis during that short period, and how many ppl died fighting for that freedom and democracy. That kind of "beating" (maybe "disaster" is a better word?) should be avoided at all costs. Its apparently temporary nature offers but little comfort. In the grand scheme of things, everything is temporary, including the great evils and atrocities of mankind.
@lynnventura, The immigrants, and especially the children, have been on my mind a lot the past two weeks. I pray for them in my meditations; I surround them with light. That never seems to be enough. I feel it more at night; I can only imagine how terrified they are. It breaks my heart. And it has increasingly troubled me that we no longer hear anything on the news about their plight. And now we have this new, harsher immigration policy. I can imagine the pain you must feel as you work so closely with these immigrant women and children. I am sure that I would feel that same despair.
They are blessed to have you, working on their behalf. I feel that so strongly. And yes, I am still hopeful.
Do you think the news about this new policy will be getting out to the public anytime soon?
I don't know when it's going to get press, because it's being rolled out slowly. At its most basic is this: there is a specific type of remedy available only to undocumented children in the US who have been abused, neglected or abandoned by one or both parents. This remedy allows them to remain in the US permanently. Many of these children are in deportation proceedings, but the policy has been to postpone the proceedings while the children apply for this remedy (called SIJS status). That policy is being reversed, which means that children will be ordered deported before they can finish their applications to remain in the US. It's so vile. I hope it gets press soon, because it is a huge departure from past practice. This should probably be its on thread. Sorry if I'm hijacking the unraveling trump thread.
They're back!
Sean Spicer Trump's first press secretary, and Reince Priebus, his first chief of staff, have been named to honorary roles for the President's Commission on White House Fellowships. These are unpaid positions, where they'll interview applicants and help pick the recipients of administration fellowships. ( Why do people still want these positions?? Why does anyone want a fellowship there?
Hope Hicks is back too with a paid positions a senior adviser reporting to Jared Kushner. Her official title will be counselor to the president.
Is it Mercury Retrograde or something?
You idiots! You were free!
So perplexing.

There seems to be a theory online that Hope is back to babysit Trump due to his declining mental state. This seems plausible.
@deetoo yes, but Dorian Gray looked great - it was his portrait that was ugly. If Trump has a portrait in his closet, I can't even imagine what it would look like since he looks so awful as it is.
Barr's slip is showing. His ABC interview shows great weakness. T is quoted saying that he is not upset by Barr's comments. As Dan Rather commented "And there is the tell".
Hope Hicks has returned because they can no longer hide his mental decline.
@lynnventura I worry about those children every day, cry about them, pray for them - it's the most horrible thing in the world. And I too wonder why we don't hear about their plight any longer.

This made my day. Thanks, Lovendures.
They're back!
...
Is it Mercury Retrograde or something?
Lulz. Indeed it is (pre-shadow), and will be full bore very soon.
And guess what, y'all! This Mercury Retrograde is happening in Pisces, in T's 7th House, which represents open enemies, legal contracts, business partnerships, marriage, and one's second child (Ivanka). Without belaboring the details of the other transits and aspects to his chart, let's just say I've got a feeling things are about to get reaaal murky, confusing, and ungrounded for Ol' Don.
@Rosieheart, if Humpty Dumpty were going to fall from a wall or a ledge, I'd put my money on it happening sometime between now and March 30th.
@lawrence, the second I read the suggestion that Hope Hicks is being called back due to T's advancing mental decline, I immediately asked myself: could he really already be at the stage where he no longer recognizes his own daughter (his 'senior advisor') and has now started obsessively demanding the presence of that one pretty young lady, you know, what's-her-name? who used to work for him one time, remember? Then when she gets there, commence the awkwardness as T alternately mistakes Hicks for Ivanka, then for his wife (or some previous substitute).
@deetoo, I could kiss you! Thank you so much for sharing your experience. And @suspira44, I've seen glimpses of T's subtle body and it's far and away more gruesome (and actually kind of heartbreaking, honestly) than any image we could ever see of his physical state.
If you want to know someone's true soul condition, don't look to the body. Just like with Dorian Gray, flesh is deceptive. But no matter who (or what) we are, we can't hide the condition of our energy body. It is what it is, period. (And I say that with no pride in my own, just a lot of desire to keep growing and healing).
@lynnventura, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for the work you do. I happen to know a gifted psychologist who volunteers as the therapeutic support for a group of legal aid workers who work primarily with migrants at the border. I interviewed him about it a few months back and he talked deeply about the fact that there is a heavy burden of transmitted trauma for lawyers in your position.
The people in his groups seem to be finding a lot of relief and encouragement from each other. If you'd like to know anything about that please reach out and I'll happily share it with you.
I had two flashes this morning in my almost awake state. The first was T’’s body in a white Undershirt with his right hand in his navy dress pants. The body turned to the right . The next flash was the white undershirt sitting in a wheelchair exiting left. The white undershirt reminded me of a man that was in a memory care facility where I had visited my aunt.
i am not a psychic. I feel that if even I am having dreams or flashes then it’s really happening. I then read the previous comment that HH is back to babysit .
Interesting that the babysitters name is Hope . Maybe she is their last Hope...
@vestralux Thank you for your kind words. I think I sometimes rely on this community for therapy, and I have to say I always feel better.
Maybe we could all plan a few moments of silent prayer/meditation/healing energy for the children? Sometime next week, after Valentine's Day and the long weekend. Maybe Wednesday night. Let me know if folks would like to join in.
I asked my departed mother for comforting words this morning. I heard, "Be brave."
@lynnventura, I would like to join with you on Wednesday in a meditation for the children. I can also do it on a weekly basis, with anyone else who is available. I am flexible with the time.
@journeywithme2 that’s funny because every single time I see his face I hear in my head “yabba dabba do”. Every time! ?
