What do Sessions Look Like
They are typically held via Zoom or another video platform, or Signal, WhatsApp or Phone if that is more accessible.
Weekly sessions are usually scheduled for an hour, with options to extend the time if needed and as time is available.
Clients are encouraged to have what relatively comforting items they can make available with them during session, sometimes it can be a piece of fabric, the words of a poem or song they like or lean on, sand tray items, painting or drawings items, space to move, stuffed animals, or nothing. Some folks like to be in nature when we meet, some like to be inside, and some may cohabit with others or are in the midst of protests, actions, in between survival moments … so they make space for sessions where and as they can. Some folks like to have a journal to take notes in, water bottle and a handkerchief or tissues, if these are available. The most important thing is to bring oneself, and we go from there.
Then based on how a person works best, sessions may be verbal, somatic, arts based, in the language of math…whatever supports a person to express and connect with their own mind/conscience is where we start and then we apply processes for support, such as: parts work, non dominant handwriting, movement based trauma recovery work, Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP), nature of mind work, ancestral and intergenerational trauma recovery processes…etc.
The practitioner supports with facilitation of the process and clients also learn over time how to do these processes for themselves, as learning is social and relational in many ways. Sometimes the practitioner will take time with clients, if they’d like it, and breakdown what process was done and how it worked, so clients can take those insights and practices with them.

*** Francesca Albanese authors a new report, linked here:
*** First Nation Diné folks experience being harassed, separated from child aggressively, and assaulted at Navajo Nation capitol by campaign staffers at the Harris/Walz campaign public event on Navajo Land. The Red Nation panel shares what occurred, link here.
U.S. Terrorizing axis strikes again.
*** Rest in Power Marcellus Williams, Innocence Project info here. Marcellus Williams was recklessly executed by the state for a crime without evidence, another Black and Brown lynching in White Supremacist America.
*** Zei Squirrel has a new article on substack, linked here. In the article Zei Squirrel reviews Harris’ blocking of justice for survivors of Catholic Church Pedophilic Rape Abuse as a D.A. in San Francisco, and highlights her laundering of a rape hoax to promote mass lynching/genocide of Palestinians, all the while covering up evidence of ACTUAL rape and torture of Palestinians, including children, by the Israeli Offensive Forces (IDF/IOF).
*** Jill Stein and Claudia De la Cruz offer each others campaigns co-support as the genocide protest, anti-war vote in the U.S.
*** The terrorizing axis: U.S., London, Germany and Israel continue to colonize West Asia, Africa, Turtle Island, Island Communities and parts of Latinized America…most of the world in broad daylight. The majority of the world outside of their terrorizing-axis propagandized-cult-bubble, witnesses their atrocities as rivaling some of the most heinous genocides and torture scandals in history, including the violence in East Timor, illegal torture at Gitmo/Guantanamo Bay, mass extermination drives and cruel apartheid of native peoples on what is so called “United States” “Australia” and “New Zealand,” and the trafficking, torture, enslavement and continued ghettoizing of captured African Peoples and their descendants during the trans-atlantic European dehumanization endeavor called “slavery and Jim Crow x.0.”
The grooming of genociders and genocide defenders is thick and free speech has been constructively dismantled by the so called Democrats: Harris/Biden Administration and would be fairly similar under Trump in the “U.S.” Genociders are generally cult fascists and will try to convince people that don’t by into their mass psychosis that they are immature or unintelligent, in order to push their perpetrating agenda. Not today! The asymmetry, abuse of power and false victim crying by the terrorizing axis is at a renewed high, and as easy to see through as ever before. We stand in solidarity with the communities that have been ransacked, debilitated, humiliated, debt laden and violated, saying STOP!!!!!!!!! to the perpetrating terrorizing axis.
*** An update on Sudan, DRC and Venezuela will be added.
*** BRICS adds 13 new members at recent summit, attempting to bring more economic stability to the Global South and may be challenging the economic violence put in place by the U.S. via the unilateral Bretton Woods Conference agenda, including the instituting of the economically terrorizing IMF and World Bank, decades ago.
We are a BIPOC, Intersectional Feminist, Anti-Colonial, Anti-Empire/Hegemon, Anti-Genocide, Anti-Rape Culture, Anti-Peonage, Pro-Indigenous and Pro-Traditional Eco-Relational Cultures owned and led organization.
There is no sanity in a genocide neutral or genocide championing culture; it is inherently against life and humanity and the seed of most, if not all, psychological violence, harm and unrest.
We stand against and actively seek ways to legally and morally responsibly divest from land theft, rapacious violence against humanity and self legitimizing narcissistic nation-state regimes. We call for the end of Anti-Black and Indo-hate/Anti-Indigenous inspired racialized supremacist violence and its corollary class violence, subjugation and trickery.
Updates below! 10/12/2024 New content, links and articles below!
As direct descendants of people directly affected by the violence of colonialism, we do not support the violence of Empire and Colonialist Expansionism anywhere! We stand with the end of direct and indirect violence against the vulnerable and marginalized, and will not accept a wokewashed cover for Empire Expansionism as a legitimate call for enacting continued plunder, ethnic cleansing and death by economic violence.
We live in horrific times where colonialism and empire violence continues to rapidly deteriorate the living conditions of millions of people globally and “domestically.” We acknowledge that the U.S. was founded and operates as a parasitic enterprise based on an ongoing genocide of Native peoples of Turtle Island, descendants of chattel slavery, and other peoples and nation states that they have economically violated and continue to… and that the U.S. exports violent policies and practices of dehumanization, ethnic cleansing, democratic disruption, deathflation and ghettoization, and trafficking/slavery. All these acts of violence are disrespectfully masked with the appropriated (stolen) language of civil and human rights movements, so the U.S. government continually politically loots movements of the marginalized as it continues to violate.
In trauma recovery, we call for transparency, restoration of respect for basic human dignity, responsibility and accountability with the holding and using of power.
We recognize that all forms of colonialism, empire expansion, land theft, trafficking, …coercion to conform to exclusionary and homogenizing nation-state politics are traumatizing to those marginalized by these power distorting tactics.
Trauma care MUST include a practice of restoration of mental sanity by supporting both the restoration of dignity to the marginalized, while simultaneously calling for the enactors of power abuse to relinquish their exceptionalism or supremacy and restore a practice of mutual respect for human/sentient dignity with appropriate and accountable amends/redress of harms done.
As we stand with marginalized community members, we will ALSO not co-sign appropriation and abuse of the language of human dignity restoration thefted from movements for human and civil rights reclamation and duplicitiously abused as cover for covert schemes of continued domestic and global empire plunder and genocide, in the form of wokewashing, pinkwashing, rainbow-washing…etc. We will not let these duplicitous “liberal” actors take away and recontextualize the language of liberation that marginalized people rely on to navigate the maze of gaslighting that is often used to keep them in active suppression — clarity about the machinations of Empire is vital for those who are its tortured subjects to begin to find liberation.
We recognize and will not submit to the divide and conquer tactics enacted on marginalized people being taught to believe that their struggles are so unique they cannot find solidarity and support as co-sufferers of the violences of Empire and call for change together. We wont co-sign privileged Empire enactment or prime enactors to interlope in victim garb, abusing language of resistance and liberation for cover, as they enact atrocities either.
We call for an end to the joint U.S.- Israel -London - Germany governments’ (and co-signing citizens) plausible genocide and apartheid occupation of Palestine. We recognize that the playbook for the imperial occupation and ethnic cleansing of Palestine was directly applied by the British Government from its brutal occupation of India. We recognize these same/similar violence happening on Turtle Island, the DRC, Cuba, Haiti, Yemen… and call for the immediate END of brutal occupation, economic devastation and decimation, and any ethnic cleansing/mass extermination. We recognize in many of the instances, those marginalized have been called “Indians,” so we recognize the continued desire for subjugation and violence towards Indians transcended any national borders, and the true freedom of Indians must include all of those classed as Indians or otherwise marginalized by the Empire everywhere.
We recognize the accompanying Empire violence of anti-Blackness as a form of anti-African and shade-ism targetting that must also be acknowledged and stopped.
We call for immediate and healthfully accountable redress and reparations of the harms done to those impacted by empire and colonial violence everywhere.
We also call for India to end its internalized and lateralized colonial violence in Kashmir, end the legacy of caste and anti-indigenous violence, end violence towards those who are currently marginalized due to religion, language, orientation, gender, …etc, … recognizing that all of these violences are violences that allow the consciousness and practices of a genocidal British Empire to continue to conquer the bodies and souls of Indians mainland and in the diaspora if we do not consciously divest from them daily. We will never be free until all marginalized and subjected people are free — otherwise we will continue to be pawns pit against each other in Empire Games of ruthless conquership that force people to act against their own human morality by getting hooked into acts of visciously circulated and ever escalated survivalism.
We support divesting from Empire: decolonization, amends and solidarity with liberation of those co-marginalized by Empire, and an end to ethno-state aggression as a response to Western Hegemonic — Dark Triadic Empire Ventures. (We notice how media about liberation from Narcissism apply to liberation from Colonization and Empire Expansion, and that this profuse coverage of the topic is often an indirect way of pointing to a pandemic of power abuse globally, often rooted in Empire based exceptionalism and supremacy and, in some cases, the internalization and lateralization of it by GM and BIPOC members who have not divested from that assimilated thinking and violence. Of course, we recognize that not all narcissism is Empire or Colonialism based, though all of it is legitimized or fueled by practices of Empire and Colonial exceptionalism and supremacy.)
We acknowledge we have not known freedom yet in this lifetime until we are all free.

10/11/24 by feather penname Why doesn’t the U.S. Public speak up: Between violent inflation and non livable wages, most working class Americans are coerced into workaholic hours of labor, in that, one missed paycheck can mean their entire stability is gone. In the midst of that the U.S. Regime knowingly propagandizes people, maps of civilian targeting by propaganda were made by experts in critical media studies in the early 2000s and decades before that. The economic class that still has dreams of breaking into the upper class is groomed to put logical morality aside so that they can live a piece of the luxurious good life, not understanding how much exploitation and murder that involves and groomed to not care and not be bogged down by thinking about it. Improvement gurus take advantage of this opportunism in meta events where they grift people with schemes of dreaming their income into many digit figures, etc. saying “see I did it.” not pointing out that they did it by exploiting other peoples vulnerability and opportunism in an entirely sick system of violent oppression. They immortalize the violent elitist with feel good new age-isms.
The credit system coerces the public to gain access to basic needs by demonstrating it is willing to take part in the U.S. debt system. It coerces and grooms people to have a “legitimized” identity, based on indebtedness. If people are good paupers they are rewarded with more commodities with inflated rates that they have to work harder to afford or more predictably, will have to borrow to afford. It is a system that incentivizes people staying enrolled in peonage, forced and exploited labor. How can people living in this system experience a sense of balanced well being? Nature doesn’t impose violent taxation for basic needs, but it does require discipline and care for people to live within a set of means. Is it sensible to continue to battle the inherent equanimity of nature and ecological systems, narcissistically devalue, rampage, discard, murder or bond into rampage recovery indebtedness indigenous and traditional cultures (raping, pillaging and charging the impactee for the clean up, in the name of “civilization”), and to unquestioningly prop up violent, morally immature or entirely devoid authoritarianism that lies and pretends it is democratic, when none of its actions are, and it labels people defending their homes and communities the terrorists? When does the U.S./Western Hegemonic System, a cold and narcissistic/dark triadic serial murdering system get called in by the American public? When does the public break through the grooming of being “genocide neutral” or silently or audibly ingratiated to a genocide financed empire and say this is immoral and cannot continue, we wont dance and fundraise for this hell-scheme? When do the actual, not U.S. and its client states genocide co-opted shams, human rights experts come together and give the American public legal avenues to not contribute taxes to the genocidal warhawking? The government will not create a system to keep itself in check, it is narccisistically odious. The people will need to come together, see through the government’s desires to fracture peoples lenses to the shared oppression, to create legal systems to hold the government accountable.
People get duped by government co-opting of “non divisiveness” language used to groom people back into genocide neutral silence and complicity, rather than to liberate people by helping them to witness and speak about a shared top down oppression, so that they can collectively call the government into question for imposing genocide and mass extermination rapacious violence , locally, nationally, internationally, and ecologically — without regard for basic human and civil rights or the generosity of the land itself.
Every leader, locally, nationally, internationally, that has called this genocide machine into question over the decades has been assassinated brutally by the U.S. government. This time the movement to call in the U.S. government is de-centralized, in the hands of the people and in the streets, calling for the end of this brutal self legitimizing empire without relent. The government cannot control the spread of this stark clear truth as it continues to deploy mostly the conscripted and/or groomed poor and descendants of exiled and trafficked people to murder people elsewhere that it seeks to control, exile and murder in the same way overseas. The U.S. regime and it’s copycats are seen for what and how they were and are conceived, self legitimized, coercive of the public and other fanatical nation-state entities to comply with genocide neutral or genocide championing systems of domination, and so devoid of morality that they pathologize the oppressed as the problem that needs to be “exterminated” or “civilized” (civilized here meaning indoctrinated into its fanatical exceptionalism culture of genocide enacting and genocide funding) , rather than acknowledging and changing their psychopathic genocide habit and appetite. It will not stop itself, however the public can continue to be committed to finding ways to clear their minds of genocide championing and genocide neutral grooming. The public can find ways to legally navigate mass non-support for genocidal schemes. Remember U.S. regime genocidal schemes can be hidden in outrageous inflation schemes making food, housing or other basic needs hard to afford, withholding of farm subsidies and contracts, imprisonment and labor bondage without just cause, ghettoizing and sudden introduction of weapons and drugs into a community usually by covert three letter agency deployment by the regime, trafficking of minors into high death or high life risk industries, and interruption of access to potable water and non-toxin laden land, … as much as it can be an outright propagandized murder and land theft campaign and overt or covert coup running in other countries. The bully is creative and systemically hard to spot, if people are groomed to not connect the dots between raised food prices and sudden poverty induced illnesses, dependence on expensive medications and doctor visits, and then death, for example. The U.S. seems to be an investment system for fanatical genocide that will not stop its manifest destiny necro-portfolio from expanding since 1492. The public, if it is truly moral, needs to find a legal collective way to defund the U.S. murder regime.
The U.S. Regime and its mass media propaganda arm will lie and try to tell the people it is collecting funds for infrastructure maintenance and people’s personal convictions, but they DEMONSTRATE openly that they have no plan to care for the public. The public has been narcissistically groomed by the U.S. Regime to accept words without actions and/or crumbs of actions with lots of excuses. The American public can find ways to legally hold the U.S. regime to account for how funds are unethically taken and allocated, and to begin to take account and make public local and international amends to communities and individuals torn up everywhere, this may be the thing that saves the U.S. from it’s own necrotic cannibalism that is happening in front of everyone, everyday and everywhere.
Unmasking U.S. Nation State Narcissism — America’s Corporate Duopoly revealed, and the grooming of the U.S. Citizens with nice sounding window dressing is obvious more than ever to international community members, as the American public is urged to continue to vote from flight or freeze states of political trauma. The shenanigans at the DNC and the U.S.-Israeli Government’s joint massacre of Palestinians and other global majority communities for the war profiteering benefit of a few is more and more obvious. The Democratic party wont shift to reflect the values of it’s base, rather it seems steeped in threatening its base to conform or else face it’s worst fears. Is being held hostage by ones fears democracy? In a domestic violence, DV, context it seems to be more of a perpetrator grooming tactic: “do this or else the boogeyman will get you” and “I’ll keep you safe, if you give me all your power. You won’t understand why it hurts so much, but don’t you worry, this kind of pain is okay. You’re just imaging that I am not caring for you.” Is that honest safety, or is that creepy manipulation? In a trauma state of despair, confusion, overwhelm, indecision or loss, such as dorsal vagal shut down or tonic immobility freeze, people in vulnerable states will want to find a hero to “get rid of the boogeyman for them,” (see Noam Chomsky’s writings on Manufacturing Consent) but the truth is, standing up honestly and reclaiming the facts of a situation can be part of the beginning of the road to reclaiming safety and is inside each person, no one can usurp real truth — that is deep in the bones of the body and in the earth itself — it knows what it knows, under all the reactive and frozen layers. Healthy shame is helpful to point people back towards living their values, whereas manufacturing excuses for violent immoral behavior reinforces living in delusion and having to coerce and force others to live in growing collective delusion. How far politically compromised and groomed is the American public that is largely comprised of many prior or currently still politically, psychologically and even physically violated and exiled peoples from all over the world, victims of a callous sprawling empire project, sitting collectively in mostly unmetabolized ping-ponging group trauma/ongoing terror with no transparent awareness of the empire context that trauma keeps getting generated and fomented in? Whose voices do both of the dominant U.S. political parties represent and who is impacted by its decisions? Is the gap bigger between the U.S. Democratic and Republican Party Elite Class or between their shared corporate actors/benefactors and the majority of U.S. and all global citizens not represented by the Western Hegemonic (U.S. & Nato Allied) Political Elite? Why are third parties that represent the actual moral stance of the majority of U.S. Citizens so threatening to the corporate duopoly? Does truth threaten manipulation or manipulative actors? If so, how come? An interview that delves into some of these questions by Jewish American Journalist Katie Halper is linked here.
Calling for an honest brokering to end the apartheid and genocide in Palestine. An interview with political strategist Ashish Prashar is linked here. In the interview he names transparently what is hard to name in the west, that the U.S., London, German and Australian governments are complicit actors in the genocide and cannot be trusted as self designated brokers of peace nor trusted as having an agenda for “peace” when the Western Hegemon has a consistent history of terrorizing and then ironically calling communities that resist their violence and occupation the ‘scary terrorist badies,’ who irrationally want their home, their food, their water, their sanity, …their lives back. The western media manufactures false narratives of people resisting certain death as irrational maniacs, rather than showing the violent bullies, the U.S. and company for who they are and how they operate. The western mass media presents these fabricated narratives of “barbarism” of the marginalized to gaslight their citizens into believing the justifications they present to ethnically cleanse. Just when public support for the bullying exploits wains, a new sensationalized story suddenly fabricates itself magically as if out of thin air to justify needing to wipe out an already ghettoized, dehumanized people in order to take their land or discard them when they empire can no longer extract enslaved labor from them out in the open — that production of sensational bully enabling fiction is not journalism, it is propaganda. In an interview at Palantir, western hegemonic elites are openly stating and agreeing with each other that the thing they don’t think Palestinians have a right to is having their homes back, the bigotry is out in the open and laden with the language of bourgeois decadence, wherein the bullying lords don’t want to be bothered by the people they have pressed into peasantry. Link will be added to this interview. The mask is off, to understand more about the Western Hegemon and how it actually operates to concoct violence and perpetuate its military industrial complex necro/death economy machine, please consider reading The Management of Savagery by award winning journalist Max Blumenthal.
Ice Cube speaking truth, as usual, about elections, asking the essential question: why are people being pressed to vote for elites who offer their communities nothing, and in fact outright have a party platform that promises to line their pockets with the wealth they plan to continue to take/loot and bodies they are determined to murder. Link to hear Ice Cube will be added.
The U.S. military empire is bullying people to vote democrat or republican when neither party represents the majority view. The U.S. seems to be more of a political banking and investment venture for the Western elite to enjoy a “sporting good game of investing” with no care for human life, under the guise of liberal language: “we’re taking care of you, while we make conditions more and more unlivable — but you’re imagining that your communities are worse off.” All of this gaslighting is going on while simultaneously continuing to impose itself onto Turtle Island, a brutal occupation that has yet to be mass recognized and ended. The U.S. political duopoly continues ghettoizing with no reparations for the descendants of those mercilessly exploited, offers western empire endless wars and criminalization of resultant resistance and strickening poverty, dismantles livable economies,…essentially getting votes and dollars for every child they essentially promise to murder, orphan and/or endanger by way of trafficking. It was fascistic from it’s start, when the laboring (colonial settler) class rebelled against the British founding elite, recognizing the violent taxation scheme that had been heaped on the global south was being heaped on them. That violent taxation scheme that leads to death by starvation, continued occupation, and enslavement of people through displacement and trafficking continues today. Every community that has been used is expected to suck it up and get over it, while continuing to be ghettoized or targeted when they speak up about their experiences. There are options to not vote for this violent venture and to actually have a first time movement towards sanity in the so called U.S. There are third party candidates in the U.S., there are peaceful ways to call government representatives to actually represent the well being of people. There are options for rejecting fascism and serfdom.
Large numbers of Israeli Citizens are clamoring to legalize gang rape and torture of Palestinian Detainees, largely held without charge. The practice of enacting rape, unthinkable torture, and murder of Palestinians held without charge has been documented to be going on for decades, even if not legally, and really since the founding of the state, see the Israeli Documentary Tantura, where former soldiers take about mass rape and extermination glibly and even blithely. The DCIP report of a 13 year old Palestinian Boy who was raped in detention brought attention when the IDF (Israeli Defense Force) responded to the credible reports by destroying the computers at the human rights agency DCIP and had the state of Israel declare the DCIP a “terrorist” organization for documenting human rights violations — who wields the power here, and where is the moral and ethical responsibility that comes with that power? Of course, all of this was overshadowed by the salacious fiction story of mass rape run shortly thereafter in 2023 by the NY Times — this propaganda was used to promote even more genocidal violence towards Palestinians and was never properly retracted by the NY Times in the U.S. The allegations of Hamas using mass rape on Oct 7th as alleged in that story has been debunked by investigative journalists at the GreyZone,ei, Mondoweiss, the Intercept and others. Links to the reports will be reposted here. Additionally former US State Official Josh Paul is interviewed by Jewish American Journalist Katie Halper about his first hand knowledge of the DCIP child rape report and an instance of the IDF using a Palestinian as a human shield, interview is linked here. Of course, there is also live footage that was widely circulated several months ago of a Palestinan used as a human shield by the IDF and sent into a Palestinian Hospital, to initiate another IDF killing spree of Palestinian Civilians. The Government and majority extremist citizens of Israel will not stop this campaign of genocide without other countries intervening by demanding the U.S. stop arming and funding plausible genocide of people in a concentration camp; Palestinians trapped under occupation and with so many life’s needs restricted for decades, are living without escape in a concentration camp of torturous and unthinkable serial maiming and serial murder. They are also having their cultural institutions and institutions of historic record exterminated in an act of politicide, as indicated by Netanyahu’s pre- Oct 7th map shown to the U.N. that does not show a Palestine at all. Because of the policy deference, funding of war crimes, and cover offered to Israel by the U.S. this campaign of violence should be aptly described as the U.S.-Israel plausible genocide and/or mass extermination of Palestinians.

U.S. Election Politics: We do not stand with any political party that calls for American patronage of genocide, ethnic cleansing and violent governmental abuse of communities anywhere — please review carefully the published policies of each of the U.S. political parties and individual candidate’s records of historic engagement with respect to oppression, ethnic cleansing and genocide. As there are Indian Americans figuring more prominently in U.S. Politics currently, we speak clearly: “not in our name” with regards to any Indian American Government Official’s alignment with genocide and ethnic cleansing. We do not endorse any enactors or patrons of plausible genocide, we do not approve of it and we cannot hold hands with double speak coupled with genocidal dealings regarding the most grave human rights issue.
Netanyahu and the U.S. government officials responsible for endangering hostages, link here. With record numbers of Palestinians illegally detained in Israeli military and torture centers prior to and after October 7th and the U.S. government and Israel trying to suffocate Palestinians via the pending Abrams Accord prior to Oct 7th, the U.S.-Israeli joint government efforts to ethnically cleanse and plausibly genocide Palestinians has been not only on going, but clearly the preceding event to Oct 7th. U.S., British and German Officials need to be held in account by the ICC and by their constituents for violating human rights statutes related to not aiding and abetting a genocide, plausible or actual. Disgusting!
