@allyn When I first started exploring my intuitive abilities, the only intuitive gift I recognized was the fact that some of my dreams were premonitions and they came true. After participating in a read the future night with Jeanne six or seven years ago, I was stunned to have predictions come true. Then Jeanne’s Intuitive Way courses helped me learn techniques to tap into my intuitive abilities. Now you can explore your gift or not, but like all of us, you do have intuition. We may not always recognize that intuition is part of our daily lives, but that inner knowing does guide us in decision making, in avoiding danger, in reading people and situations.
Frankly, I’m pretty blown away by your dream and it resonates with me. It strikes a chord about my own intuition regarding how the abortion ban will play out. My sense is that the media will cover every case of a woman or child who dies as a result of this horrendous Supreme Court decision. And make no mistake, dear souls will die. We all know it. The GOP will not be able to hide the deaths and people will be furious at the Court and at Republicans. I hope it doesn’t lead to violence. Our country is at such a volatile point that anything could set things off. I hope it doesn’t come to that.
I’m very sorry about the girl with blue/grey eyes, Allyn and I know this is already haunting you. Situations like hers will turn the population against the Republican Party, but what consolation is that when an innocent has died? Maybe she is not a real girl, but a metaphor for others like her and then we will grieve for them.
Thank you for your reply. I have been literally haunted by the images I saw last night. Children dying, people getting attacked, violence and hatred rampant, and worst, regular people becoming a mindless mob.
Don't get me wrong. I think Republicans like Trump, McConnell, Cruz, and Greene (not to mention their mouthpieces at Fox New and Alex Jones) could stand to have their peace of mind shaken a bit. But do we really want to become THEM?! Mindless monsters who terrorize and kill at random.
It haunts me. But the image of that girl, whoever she is (or even if she is just a symbol of the victims that will suffer now) also makes my blood boil. She seemed so real! I held her hand as I watched her flatline. It was swollen and hot, as thought she was feverish. When she screamed about how she didn't want to be pregnant and carry her brother, her face was so red and puffy from crying that her eyes really resonated with me.
What is worse? Letting these children and women die? Or lose ourselves in trying to save them?
I am hoping that Democrats are able to win some races for the midterms. I truly hope that Democrats and Independents hit the polls this fall, economy be ("censored")! We need to recognize the threat and handle it NOW, before it becomes a mob free-for-all. A strong response against Republicans will send a signal to them that they need to stop feeding red meat to their base for the purpose of "owning the libs." Because if my dream comes to pass, the "libs" will see them as a clear and present threat. If a child dies as a result of rape, what parent would not be angry? If one doesn't get angry over the abuse and then systematic murder of children in the name of being "pro-life," then what possible reason is there to ever get angry again.
Best case scenario, I hope Republicans fail to regain Congress, and possibly even lose some of their seats. This outcome, more than anything, will send a message that Republican sabotage of government (as they do when they refuse to pass bills to help the country) and placating their base will cost them, as the American majority knows that they are the problem and no amount of grandstanding or "owning the libs" is going to save them.
I wish we had a time table. Ever since 2015, it seems as though we are trying to push a boulder up a hill and not getting anywhere. Our rights are taken away, people being bullied and threatened on a constant basis, "news" pundits like Tucker Carlson and ("censored") like Alex Jones who stirs people to violence and continues to pour gas on the fire without any consequences to themselves, and Republicans continuing to commit treason against our country and slowly turn us into another Russia or, God forbid, a Taliban-like government where systematic abuses against the majority of the population living here is tolerated, promoted, and even encouraged. I am tired. It seems that things will get much, much worse before they get better. But for how long? A few years? A decade? A century? How long must we keep fighting the right way before our patience finally gives way to chaos and dispair?
Small wonder that we are angry. But I want to be a "good" angry. Not like them. I want to go to the ballot box, vote them out, and then pass laws to fix the damage they did. I don't want to get to the point that I no longer think of them as human but as an enemy that must be destroyed at all costs, which is exactly what my dream seems to suggest. That the populous reached a breaking point and resorted to violence and threats to push Republicans out. Small wonder we are getting to that point. So I will pray and send as much light as I can that "good" anger will win out and that we take control back before it gets to that point.
I think your dream carries a lot of weight, but I will say the dark haired man getting beaten to death by women- that was the last scene of one of the last episodes of the last season of Handmaid's Tale. (Season 4 in September!!) You may have just stored it away if you watch the show or just picked up on the zeitgeist of it - a touch of synchronicity. Valid in any case.
I think what you are also picking up on is that (unfortunately) for things to change there are going to have to be literal sacrifices. Sounds like the girl in your dream is a prime example - someone who was raped by her father, dies, and the dissenters use her as a martyr.
A martyr is a kind of archetype- and your dream has provided an excellent one. Anxiety on your part? Sure, but this vivid to me means some of it will come to pass, if not all.
You should re-post this dream in the dream/visions thread so we can keep an eye on it.
@lynnventura I agree that all these decisions feel very coordinated and my suspicion is that Ginni has been a conduit with radical right wing groups. The red states’ decisions to outlaw abortions before and after the Court overturned Roe v. Wade also seem to be very well synchronized. Major donors of the GOP like gas and coal companies must also be pleased with the Court’s decision to strip power from the E.P.A. I understand the Court will next take up the role of states in determining elections and that absolutely sets my hair on fire. The decisions by this Court are so radically regressive and punitive, it shocks me to the core. The Court must be restructured. The Justices must follow a strict code of ethics, with defined consequences when they do not. Term limits should also be instated.
And AGE limits too, in every branch.
🤣
Allyn, your dream, while horrible, was very interesting to me, because yesterday I was perusing the news for my daily dose of anger and stress, and saw where some a-hole rethug was asked about exceptions for rape and incest, and what if it was a twelve-year-old girl who had been raped and impregnated by her own father, and he said he would make no exceptions because all life is precious.
I skimmed the article; I didn't read it in its entirety because just the headline made me apoplectic, but this is the degree of utter deranged psychotic sickness with these people.
I tried to copy/paste a post from Heather Cox Richardson but it "didn't take."
To paraphrase she says the court has gone rogue and we must expand the court while we still can. It is the most important thing we MUST do.
*I think this is the "other shoe" that I've been feeling will drop. The North Carolina case they want to hear that gives state legislatures the authority to overide elections and even state constitutions is unbelievable.
@allyn I just saw this story about a 10 year old girl in Ohio having to travel to Indiana for an abortion due to the 6 week ban in Ohio...just heartbreaking...I thought of your post when I read it...hopefully I linked it in correctly with a title...
@michellepazicni That story is equal parts heart-breaking and gut wrenching and just so damn wrong.
I'm not as familiar with politics in the States because I'm in Canada but what I keep getting as a message today is for those who don't normally think of themselves as able to be politicians, should run.
Easy for me to say from up here in the North! It keeps repeating though. Please run in politics it's saying over and over. I'm not sure who this is for and sorry to barge in here on this thread. Please run if you are able to and want to. It also said dual citizenship but I don't have that so I'm not sure what that was about.
Thanks for the message!
There are many groups here in the US who encourage this, including Emily's List and Swing Left.
As for dual citizenship - y'all make it very hard!! Believe me, some of us have tried! After consulting with an immigration lawyer in Vancouver, hubby and I decided the best course of action is to buy a home in BC and become "retirees" - i.e., not work in Canada but have a residence there, having only to leave once every 6 months.
And then your government suspended ANY foreigners from buying homes there! Even 1 single condo! I mean, c'mon - we're practically neighbors, and I fail to see how an older US couple buying ONE residence in a suburb of BC would affect housing prices in Vancouver or Toronto! Does Canada not want some property tax revenue? We literally had cash set aside just for that! And now it's in the stock market, as we watch it dribble away...
Get on that, will ya? 😘
I've always thought it was strange that it isn't easier for Canadians to immigrate to the States and vice versa. I'm not well versed with immigration but I have heard it's really difficult to immigrate to Canada. The foreign buyers tax makes sense to me to a certain degree because a lot of people were buying houses and letting them sit empty for years so that they could make a profit, which is not your situation. The people that truly want to live here lost out because of a corrupt/unregulated scenario.
In terms of the groups you've listed, Thanks for sharing those! I have been looking at ways I can offer support from this side of the fence. It is heart wrenching to see what has happened and I'm thinking of you all.
I've always believed that the North Americans - citizens of the US, Canada, Mexico and of course First Nations, should have total border freedom in terms of how they live their lives. I think anyone on this continent is entitled to live anywhere else without significant burdens being placed (exceptions for First Nation sovereignty lands). That being said, I think that whatever tax laws, etc., apply where one resides to live, should be observed regardless of one's birth location, and that while trade should be relatively free, it also needs close regulation to prevent corruption from spreading from one place to another.
Kinda like the EU but North America edition.
BTW did you know that the US is one of only TWO nations in the world that requires its citizens to pay US taxes even if they live abroad? The only other option is to renounce US citizenship. Applies to dual citizens as well.
Oh Yes She DID!
Boom!
S.C. Justice Elena Kagan just schooled her Supreme Court colleagues on why the court has lost legitimacy.
I love her!!!
From the Washington Post:
On Monday, she let loose a burst of refreshing clarity during a talk at Temple Emanu-El in New York. “Judges create legitimacy problems for themselves … when they instead stray into places where it looks like they’re an extension of the political process or when they’re imposing their own personal preferences,” she said. She added that the public has a right to expect that “changes in personnel don’t send the entire legal system up for grabs.”
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/09/14/kagan-speech-supreme-court-legitimacy-roberts/
I'm putting this here because this will inevitably end up before the court. Hard Right Trumpist judges are trying to do a judicial end-run around Congress with respect to Medicare and Social Security.

Thomas. Is. Toast.
It was a trickle, currently a flow, soon to be a river. It will wash him off the bench and out of the high court. The court will not be able to function with him on it, as there will be to much distraction and scrutiny. Too much attention drawn to his monetary supporters also. They will also pay a price for being visible now. His glory days are over. I would expect this to happen before the new term in October.
I am stating this from a mixture of logic and an intuitive sensing. I think the water part above is more intuitive. I sense what happened today is the beginning of the tipping point. More to come. Here are two breaking news Thomas events from today alone, which appear pretty bad for him.

@lovendures I believe you're correct. I just hope it's sooner than later. Thomas is obviously a huge issue, but the attention being focused on him has now increased the scrutiny on Roberts (for hiding/not properly reporting his wife's income, how much corruption has he covered up, etc.), Alito (for leaking decisions before the official release, not just Dobbs, also the one involving Home Depot), Kavanaugh (how did his huge debts suddenly get paid off, did he lie to Congress during his confirmation, why was the FBI told to stand down and not vet him properly), and Gorsuch (possibly lying to Congress, also hiding/misreporting income). Barrett has her own issues, but nothing serious or really impeachable, although she has no business being on the court.
All of this is going to come back and bite McConnell on the ass, since he was the one who was the main driver behind the theft of these three seats.
Oh, I have no doubt others will follow. And it will not be long before we have a female chief justice.
@tgraf66 Anonymous has indicated that Leo has much to do with Kavanaugh’s debts. As well as other federal judges. This may be the tipping point for not just Thomas, but the entire court system’s corruption.
Looks like Leo needs to be watched more closely. Easy to hide a secret in the dark, almost impossible when all eyes are watching you in the bright light of truth.
@lovendures, thanks for posting about the latest revelations about Judge Thomas. To elaborate, the same Propublica team that exposed Thomas's travel gifts from conservative billionaire, Harlan Crow, now report between $100,000 and $150,000 tuition payments Crow made for the boy Thomas raised. The Thomas's who don't have any children of their own, had taken over the guardianship of Martin Thomas when he was six years old. Martin is the son of Clarence's nephew who was in prison.
In case anyone thinks Thomas didn't know he was supposed to report these payments (he had claimed he hadn't known he was supposed to report all those trips Harlan Crow had given him) Clarence Thomas did report one $5000 payment for Martin's tuition, while he failed to report the other $100,000 to $150,000 tuition payments from Harlan Crow.
Clarence Thomas raised him. Harlan Crow paid his tuition
