Animosity gets you further, than any other type of #violence ever could.
Stronger than #sadism, #brutality and #contempt, #hostility cannot describe the nature of #disgust that #anonymous #rage, which is what animosity is, can do.

"Trump’s border tsar, Tom Homan, promised “shock and awe” from day one of his administration. Perhaps Becky’s incarceration was political theatre – or performative cruelty. Whatever the reason, in Trump’s America, a tourist who makes a mistake can be locked up, seemingly indefinitely."

Editorial: A #president just #disrespected America in the #OvalOffice. It wasn’t #Zelensky

It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The #American people have not, and they should speak up.

In the past several weeks, the U.S. leadership has demonstrated explicit #hostility towards Ukraine and aligned its #rhetoric and policy with Russia.

@weebdeluxe Believe me, many of us aren’t happy about it. Thirty years ago, we bought our home on a street three doors away from a bus arterial which started to diminish 10 years ago. Now past retirement age, with limited mobility, I’d planned to ride the bus to my gym in the neighborhood center (and used to when I could walk better). Recent signage has removed the county bus line. With my EV it’s difficult to park near the gym, even with disabled permit.

Meditation has become such a natural and integrated part of my everyday life, that it still surprises me how hostile some people become only mentioning the word. I guess it's therefore some meditation teachers try to present it using different words and terminology. Kind of tricking people into believing they're attempting something new and revolutionary while it isn't.
