Nolte: James 'God Is Non-Binary’ Talarico Admits He’s a 'Christian Who Hates Christianity’

Do not judge others or else you will stand before one. The same harshness or grace that you use against others will be used against you. By whatever scale you measure others, you will be measured the same. Why do you seek out dust in the eyes of your own community but fail to notice the load bearing beam jutting out of your own? How can you seriously say to someone “Let me rip that dust from your eye”? Look at yourself, there is a beam in your own! You complete fraud. Rip the beam out of your own eye, then maybe you can see clearly enough to “rip” the dust from your neighbors eye.

— Jesus, Gospel of Matthew 7:1-5

i can't move on but i feel it's my fault if he abuses me or bullies me for it.

I know it’s hard, but do your best to stay no-contact. One of the effects of abuse and trauma is the hyper vigilance you described. This includes “seeing them everywhere” in situations you might previously never noticed or thought about.

Abusive people, toxic people, negative people are not merely not worth your time, they are dangerous. That danger often comes in subtle, insidious, non-obvious ways. The easiest way to move forward is to find better friends to forge bonds with. That sounds scary and difficult, maybe impossible, but it can it can be easy and fun. First, decide on a few things that interest you. It could be pilates, board games, fishing, anything. Next, start looking for some local groups, clubs, or events and start going to them.

You may also want to look for emotional abuse recovery groups. While I generally avoid anything religion-affiliated, even those can be better than nothing. The point is to make supportive connections with other people, and that is the most important thing dor you right now.

You are not alone.
You are valuable.
You are cherished.

Find your people. You can message me if you need to talk. I’m here for you.

DOJ rebuffs judge's request to put in writing it won't move forward with 'anti-weaponization' fund

Judge Leonie Brinkema requested sworn declaration from Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche before she’d agree to dismiss a lawsuit seeking to ensure the fund would be blocked permanently.

The Department of Justice told a federal judge it would be “unnecessary” to attest in writing that it won’t move forward with its “anti-weaponization” fund because senior administration officials already told Congress the fund is off the table.

Trump administration says states must "immediately undo any steps" to send full SNAP benefits

A better source.

USDA’s latest memo, sent Saturday to state directors of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, instructed states to deliver just 65 percent of benefits during the government shutdown and required those who already sent full payments to claw back that money.

There really is no bottom to this administrations evil.

New Jetbrains Update Dropped

Doesn’t anyone else use things like OpenSnitch to audit all outgoing connections? I block all phone homes until something breaks, then investigate.

If you are trapped on Windows for some corporate reason, there is SimpleWall.

We’re all friends here, and friends don’t let friends let apps phone home.
