We've been conditioned to jump through hoops time and time again to fit a specific view of what it means to be an upstanding person for the sake of "Norms". Most of the time goals shift while the underlying logic fades or is dispensed of all together. We discuss with Eric Reeves who is an amazing LGBTQ advocate and educator on the ways we can stand strong while we standing together.
We have been fed a constant diet of carnage as U.S. Citizens and it feels like those in power are constantly trying to confuse and distract us. We have explosive diarrhea caused from lettuce, measles spreading like wildfires, actual WILDFIRES, and a corrupt government stealing from us every day. So the amplification of Jedi-mind tricks has only gotten to a fever pitch.
