Well done, Caitlin. People need this kind of encouragement right now.

I hope we can all muster the courage to feel it all, stay kind and make this a mission in our lives.

100% compassion is what makes the planet thrive, and all the people and critters and life around abounds for its existence, wherever there is love, there is hope. ❤️🙌🌹✊

I so value your full-hearted, open-hearted, whole heart. Segmented but not separated. With space to carry the horrors that live right next door to the exquisite. And every shade in between. Space that’s born from feeling our feelings all the way through and recognizing that they’re simply visiting. I’ve long believed that if we can’t open to our pain or to the wholeness of our experience, we’ll never find room for the beauty that is always present. I’m daily, passionately, persistently grateful that you and Tim are on the planet. Roaring or soothing, your voices resonate deeply. Thank you for all that you do.

Okay, this was the one that finally made me a paid subscriber. And brought a lump to my throat. Thanks, Caitlin!

"You are not like the others.

The dollar-drilled and Pentagon-pilled."

I love that description!

May we all remain unsedated, undeterred, unbribed, and un-touched by the military industrial complex forever.

When your head is up you can say something. Thank you.

Seems I held on too tightly to that youthful rebelliousness of which you speak so eloquently. And it's gotten me into a whole lotta shit over my lifetime.

Aamir Razak's avatar

but i dont think holding onto that righteous indignation is a bad thing mr lopresti, it shows you still have a heart that feels empathy for others and strives for a better, more equitable and decent world. Now, more than ever, i think that is a good thing

Thank you Caitlin. My humanist upbringing is hitting hard right now. Thank you for reinforcing it.

Thank you, Caitlin. You came to our rescue once again. You are letting us know that we are not alone. We are together in our hearts and minds.

Unfortunately, the caveman response is probably the only thing that will stop the genocidal arseholes, cogent argument does not work.

There are many ways - any and all are needed, but emotion is the engine.

What if all the Peasants just stopped working for the Epstein Class - in the Middle of the Day?

Just left the Billionaire Class sitting in Their Limos with no drivers?

Left the Trains sitting idle.

Left the crates at the docks.

Left the semi trucks blocking the Banksters homes and private jets.

Americans are too AFRAID of a General Strike because we have no social safety net and have been trained to see Billionaires as Superior to Working Class & Poor, when they are actually just More corrupt, evil & perverse.

Americans gaveaway their Freedom to be Consumer-Peasant Breeders & Soldiers for PEDOE Z10 BILLIONAIRES. Suicide rates keep going up, soldiers do NOT believe in whatever the fnck this is.

Will the Military revolt against this madness?

🚫ALL DATA CENTERS ✌️

We're clearly still too comfy for revolution.

Denial is a large part of the problem, believing "it can't happen here" yet, it already is. The streets of the US remain empty of large-scale protest while those waiting for mid-terms, merely to change clowns that won't hear us.

Ironically, it is Trump and the Epstein Admin, with every new betrayal to the American People, that is increasing the discomfort, that could LEAD to a Massive Uprising... hence the infestation of Data Centers, Flock & Axon streetlight/camera surveillance. I mean, who do Tariffs hurt really? The people of the country who is enforcing them. No Billionaire Pedoes or Corrupt Pedoe Royals or Rothschilds Banksters will be harmed or inconvenienced in the least.

If they were smart, instead of filled with hubris & greed, the Billionaires would NOT be spending cash on elections, but on giving Americans Free Healthcare (or SOMETHING) to keep the Majority placated.

But, no one ever said the Z10 Pedoe Billionaires had brains.

They just have money.

Peace.

This is my life now. Doing what I can to work for justice, while staying vulnerable and open to the beauty and wonder that exists all around us on this beautiful planet. I also find strength in the deep goodness that I encounter in at least some of the people around me every day. These are what keep me going, and what preserve my sanity and spirit.

Thank you, Caitlin and Tim, for being here with us.

It's funny you know, I came here to write, "unsedated and undeterred" as when I got to that line it shouted at me. And only now have I realised it's the essay heading. I'm glad we're all here still feeling no matter how much it hurts. We're so bloody fortunate it makes me sick.

Yes, I will.

Thank you dear lady and spouse!

What more is sorrow? but the withered blossom of

My hope, decayed, ashen brown,

A little whit of smouldering dust,

Aloes to me; to thee a haunting scent,

Which brings a thousand recollections, mayhap.

Undeterred - periodically sedated (lest I eat a bullet, which is just what the fuckers want)
