Don't view it as heartbreaking. View it as freeing. You are a free human. You are connected to your Creator, and no man can EVER be put into the middle of that, again, unless you choose to do so.
Imagine being on a stranded island. You don't need a preacher. You don't need a pastor. God is with you, always. You already know that in your heart.
I remember this. I was about 20. And I remember thinking... "hmmmmm. interesting." I didn't praise her or condemn her. It was more a curiosity and it made me wonder what she knew that I didn't. It definitely stuck in my mind as a vivid memory and I've pulled that memory up quite a few times over the years. So, good for her, she accomplished exactly what I think she wanted to do. Get people questioning. Casting a not so great light on the institution that has so many fooled.
I bet you had a positive effect on more people who witnessed that, than you realize. For some of them, your voice will be a memory that they will take with them for the rest of their lives. I know that sounds a little dramatic, but it's not. You never know when the memory of your voice belting out that song in the middle of those circumstances, in that store, may come to mind for someone and help give them a little push of strength to stand up for their own rights in some future situation.
This has probably been posted multiple times, but just in case it hasn't...
Throw back to that time a drunken #GaigeGrosskreutz’s chair collapsed while in zoom court and #KyleRittennhouse had to hide to pretend he wasn’t laughing out loud.

darthcrypto posted it during the verdict watch.... Welcome comic relief while it was taking wayyyy too long for the verdict to come back.
No, you're not the one who is confused. THEY are the ones who are confused. You're absolutely right. BLM does not stand for any of those things. But I do believe there are some good people who are honestly just trying to protest the criminal justice system but they are doing it under the banner "BLM". That is a HUGE mistake. Criminal justice reform is for EVERYONE. Not just black people. And then the marxists came in and totally took over an already misguided "movement". Throw in all the opportunist looters and rioters and you have the exact recipe for disaster that the corrupt in power WANTED. No-one ACTUALLY doing anything about THEIR corrupt justice system. Put people right back into their cages of "us vs them". Too many emotional, non-critical thinking people out in the world.... they fall for the traps, and we end up getting dragged along for the ride. There are none so blind as those who refuse to see. It's our biggest battle. Like the fight scene in They Live.
Yeah, he said he supports the right to peacefully protest, he doesn't support people burning down cities, and he said prosecutorial misconduct is a real thing, basically. People are reading too much into what his political views are, I believe. This is about self-defense, which isn't a left or right issue like the media keeps trying to push. But you CAN support the idea that "black peoples lives matter" but not support the marxist organization that hijacked that sentiment. The real issue is criminal justice reform for the haves and the have nots. A lot of white people who don't come from a lot of money get royally screwed over by the justice system every single day. But everyone wants to pretend it's just black people. It's not. The media just pushes that narrative to get people divided and riled up. We all know the prison system is a well-oiled machine, letting offenders out quickly so they can re-offend and keep the machine greased up and profitable for all involved.
sorry for the long post.... that's why I chose the name "meander". I have a tendency. lol.
I think he's been doing a pretty good job so far at zeroing in on some sketchy stuff with the ADA.
Have you been following Andrew Branca at all? Here's a good write-up of what happened today, for example: (It's also in video format.)
This has been going on for decades. The media is paid to promote their horrible drugs, create stories of panic and fear so people will run to the doctor, it's a cycle that's repeated over and over and over. And they're all making big bucks, and people are getting sicker and sicker....
All of it? They didn't just sign a new contract recently? I'm wrong about the next contract isn't until 2025? If they change the contract, the members don't vote on it? Which part?
If I'm wrong about something, I'd like to know what it is, instead of just "you're wrong!". Just tell me so I can get my facts straight.
Yeah that was my first thought to be honest because....yeah... exactly. That's how it goes in reality. But.... I'm still holding out a bit of hope. If this goes viral, and they get a ton of support then maybe their negotiations will get more of a spotlight, more eyes on means more backlash when they cave for the $$. I mean, again, at least it's something. A start maybe.
Good! Well they just had their new contracts and their next contract isn't until 2025. If they negotiate a new contract before then the members would have to vote. This is at least, something. Guess we'll see what happens. Really glad to hear this.
