Dear government:

Why are the unsheltered here in the States being fined and imprisoned for being homeless while we spend trillions on endless immoral wars on non whites around the globe. And, give military aid assisting the ethnic cleansing of the peoples of Palestine. WHY?

Because the capitalists that control government determine the values of the country, and they value stealing other countries' natural resources to turn it into capital; and they value conquering and controlling foreign lands and people. They value money above life; and they've convinced nonthinking people to do the same. Think about this: what if the money working Americans pay in taxes went for buying every person an electric car, food and shelter instead of bombs--would that be better, more intelligent values?

Could the ICC issue arrest warrants for the Biden administration?

I mean the government of the US and the government of Israel seem

one and the same.

I'm not opposed to that, but it seems peculiarly specious when we have an entire cabinet full of criminals and miscreants getting ready to gut what remains of our government and nobody's talking about arresting THEM.

I have no financial gain in either recommendations I am about to make, but breathing exercises and meditations are helping me not doom-spiral when these notifications hit!

Swear-filled 10 minute meditation : https://youtu.be/wnh9NmU_oKc?si=s-fUPFAFNIPg0c6c

The Breathe app, first year subscription fee waived.

Also been watching the carbs, using a sleep/activity tracker and forest bathing. Even today in the cold November Rain. About to scream sing through a shower before therapy.

Take care of you. Talk to your neighbors. Donate to or visit the food pantry. Life prevails.

While the warrants are well deserved, this will be a litmus test for the ICC. The U.S. has used it to mete out justice in it's own interests but declare it illegitimate when the tables are turned. I hope enough countries stand up for this decision so that we can have at least some form of international based rule of law.

I caught it on Al Jazeera. I cried mixed tears- joy and sorrow. Apropos after the JRD's.
