I’ve walked through fire and carried my own ashes.
Two-Spirit. Indigenous. Autistic.
I speak truth, hold space, and help others rise.
This is a home for healing, not hiding.

Sectarianization keeps us divided, blind, and domesticated. Paradise is here—our living Earth. But we treat her as waste. Civilization calls itself progress, yet devours its own. Leadership means awakening to truth. Are you ready to see?

Charity is praised as kindness. But often it props up the very systems causing harm. It casts communities as “in need” while donors stay superior. Real change means justice, not band-aids. Solidarity, not saving. Decolonization, not philanthropy. #Decolonize #CharitableRacism

Are people here just venting into the void?
Are they here for likes, for subscribers, for ego?
Or are they here because they actually want change?

Charlie Kirk built a movement by feeding the extremes. But the real lesson isn’t him. It’s how wide the divide has become. People aren’t just debating policy anymore, they’re defending identities and entire worldviews. That’s why the middle feels so empty.

Reducing a person to a thing they once said is shameful. Every one of us has words that could make us look bad. Humanity is more than a soundbite.
This isn’t truth, it’s character assassination
To pretend otherwise is dishonest.

Agreed. Thank you Joe

You can abhor Charlie Kirk & his beliefs and unequivocally condemn murder. You can do both. It shouldn’t be hard. It’s what grown up, civilized, tolerant people do.
