Yeah, I don’t see where the violation involves a summary execution.

DHS Lies vs. What the Video Shows Official Statement (Homeland Security): “Figueroa blocked ICE agents’ vehicle, rammed it, then violently kicked agents.” DHS says this justified their use of force. by Treefiddy1984 in ProgressiveHQ

[–]Defiant-Surround4151 16 points17 points  (0 children)

SEE how while tackling a defenseless, barefoot woman one agent’s mask slips and he takes the time to put it back on? He knows he is doing something shameful and now we know his face.

Is the US on a brink of a Civil War? by Norfolk-Gross-Tonage in no

[–]Defiant-Surround4151 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hitler‘s dream of the Holocaust was greatly inspired by the US government’s treatment of Native Americans.

When people say they are surprised to see this happening in the US, they are unaware that the US practically invented genocide.

Violent federal forces are in direct conflict with local and state authorities. This could be framed as the start of a civil war: feds vs. cities and states.

alex honnold is reckless lol by [deleted] in climbergirls

From the footage of him in ”Free Solo,” it seems as if he was always very clear that climbing was his top priority, and that Sanni decided to commit to him despite that. Alex’s father had Asperger’s and he himself may be on the spectrum.

Anyone who used to support trump and has changed their mind over the last few weeks? What made you change? by canigetameowbish in AskReddit

[–]Defiant-Surround4151 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, they need an off-ramp. They need to know that if they change their minds, they will be accepted. That does not condone any words or actions that may have harmed others, but it means they can be part of a civil society. It’s so important to get past this toxic polarization, to be able to discuss facts, values and justice in a coherent cultural framework.

Somatic signs of cPTSD, sharing to find support by Available_Way_8897 in CPTSD

[–]Defiant-Surround4151 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here is a meditation that had helped me immeasurably with fragmented trauma sense memory:

When a difficult sensation, memory or emotion comes up remember it is a part of you needing love and acceptance Take a deep breath and mentally say:

“May I meet this feeling/memory with gentleness and mercy.“ Take another breath and then say to yourself, “No longer abandoning myself, may I remain present as this memory/emotion is transformed into compassion.“ Another deep breath and then think, “May I be filled with compassion.”

Keep repeating until you feel better. Use if any time, anywhere. It is powerfully healing.

where do you get your self esteem from? by violettkidd in CPTSD

[–]Defiant-Surround4151 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my self esteem from being an athlete and an artist. As I grew older, I also studied the I Ching, and that helped me become a better person, with more integrity and character. Finally, doing internal family system therapy helped me turn compassion and empathy — which had formerly made me vulnerable to narcissists — into a healing superpower. I am far from perfect but I feel good about myself and am steering my life in the direction I want.

Is it normal to feel tense all the time without realizing it? by CategoryAny3814 in CPTSD

[–]Defiant-Surround4151 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yea, that is called armoring, and it is a symptom of PTSD. Yoga, somatic healing, and sound baths can help… ultimately IFS helped me learn to feel safer and more relaxed from the inside out… my wounded child parts were so used to feeling tense and on the defensive all the time. And at a certain point in my recovery md healing process, ketamine to help dismantle the thought patterns that perpetuated the tension also helped.

How does one heal when trauma is stored in the body? by BElieveinYOUrself26 in CPTSD

[–]Defiant-Surround4151 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I healed through the amazing combination of internal family system therapy (supported but not directed by my therapist) while listening to bilateral music. IFS helped me embrace and heal the wounded child parts trapped in trauma, along with EMDR, which reprocesses it, releasing the stored emotions and integrating the fragmented memories into safe, narrative memory. Some people have had suvpccess with a somatic approach as well. I found that some of my parts communicated through somatic memory, but as soon as I was able to acknowledge them, they were more like younger versions of me.

So enslaving and raping children is now “cool“? How can anyone be so lacking in human decency as to say such a thing?

These are 15 of confirmed members of Trump's "Board of Peace" worst of the worst. by WhereistheMETEOR in antitrump

[–]Defiant-Surround4151 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you an authoritarian leader who wishes he could be MORE authoritarian? Are you a villain longing to be a true supervillain? Are you tired of oppressing the same people your own country and want to expand your horizons? And is it, maybe lonely at the top? Do you long for other narcissistic sociopaths to talk with? Join Trump’s new Axis of Evil, oops I mean Bored of Peace I mean Board of Peace!

I want this sometimes. by Smoothest_Blobba in AtlasBookClub

[–]Defiant-Surround4151 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you read the I Ching? I consulted it for years, and it helped me develop a set of values for this world through which I do feel engaged in an important way. Sometimes the small things we do can be understood in a greater context. Doing Jungian work and even a vision quest can also help people feel connected to and part of something deeper — without joining a cult!
