Those responsible for this act of vandalism obviously have no understanding of the TRUTH about Thanksgiving. Also, Treaties are not given to the conquered!

More News from Native Country:

Numerous American Indigenous are being targeted and detained by federal barbarians who refuse to accept Tribal IDs.

Among those kidnapped, is Indigenous actress Elaine Miles. The actress states that her son and uncle have experienced similar harassment.

As I've posted before, we have rediscovered Walgreens because it feels safer than going to some of the other stores.

While there, we saw this Christmas Chihuahua, who sings and moves to the Macarena song 😍🐕😍🎶😍.

We just couldn't resist this adorableness!

When we paid & left the store, we walked out to a parking lot with a sudden burst of activity.

Four semi moving trucks and several unmarked SUVs & vans with the engines on.

👇🏼

AnnCrystal
And there we were, two Brown-Skin Americans holding our brand new Chihuahua who was dressed like a Mexican musician.

One vehicle stopped right in front of the store and men came storming out.

We waited a second to see if they were Barbarians who jumped out.

👇🏼 2mo

AnnCrystal
When none of the men seemed to be Barbarian agents, and didn't come towards us, we walked to our vehicle, and it felt like we were in a getaway scene as we slowly made our escape while laughing all the way and holding our Little Chihuahua.

Going Wacky & Crazy in Our America 😂🐕🛍️🤗.

“CA Governor Gavin Newsom, has signed into law a ban for most law enforcement officers, including federal agents like ICE, from wearing face coverings while on duty. The “No Secret Police Act“ aims to prevent “secret police“ tactics by requiring officers to be identifiable. It includes exemptions for specific situations like SWAT operations & undercover work.“ -News Article👇🏼

AnnCrystal Plus

“Liberty Vans“ in Los Angeles are a new initiative by the Save America Movement (SAM) to document Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations and support affected immigrant communities. Launched in September 2025, these rapid-response vehicles are staffed by volunteers, including legal, faith, and community leaders, who aim to provide assistance, document events, and ensure federal agents comply with the law during raids.“ 👇🏼 3mo

AnnCrystal “The initiative is described as a national rapid-response and civic empowerment initiative starting in Los Angeles.“ -News Article

I've been keeping out of the comments and debates about God and Prayers both here on Litsy and in RL.

Until today.

A friend came to me and demanded for me to explain how my “good“ “kind“ “loving“ God could allow such bad things to happen in the world “all the time.“ And don't give me, “God Works In Mysterious Ways“ or that “There's A Reason For Everything“ crap.

If you'd like to know how this conversation continued, please keep reading.

👇🏼

AnnCrystal Me: The truth, I can't. I don't believe anyone can truly answer that question.

People mistakingly believe that I have a strong faith BECAUSE I was born and raised Catholic. But the strength in my faith came with time. It's a journey. A journey that can't be mimicked because it's truly unique and personal for every single person. A journey that can only be guided by forces unknown.

👇🏼 3mo

AnnCrystal Friend: that's a horrible reply! What kind of 🤬🤬🤬🤬 response is that?

👇🏼 3mo

AnnCrystal Me: I'm sorry, but we're done speaking about this.

👇🏼 3mo

See All 33 Comments

AnnCrystal Friend: Cries...

👇🏼 3mo

AnnCrystal Me: OK, look. I can't give you the answers you're looking for but here's something I can say.

I was raised believing that my Catholic God has a son named Lucifer. I was raised understanding the symbol of the ying-yang. One of the first legends I learned about from my ancestral world was the, Wendigo. Many cultures and religions from around the world believe in some kind of darkness or evil.

👇🏼 3mo

AnnCrystal Me: When I was 4/5 years old, when my 14 year old brother was in the hospital and my mom needed to be with him. My father abandoned me to his multi-abusive family members and friends (note: that's the most that I am willing to speak about involving this abuse in my life). That was my personal encounter with some of the evil humans are capable of doing.

👇🏼 3mo

AnnCrystal Me: You know a little about my obsession with the paranormal-

👇🏼 3mo

AnnCrystal Friend: oh, please don't twist this into something supernatural!

👇🏼 3mo

AnnCrystal Me: You opened this door. Now listen.

Believe me or not, you can't “seriously“ dabble in the paranormal without sometimes accidentally encountering negative spirits or daemons.

I know, not just believe, but personally know that there are evil forces that exists because I've dealt with them.

Now, you don't have to believe me about any of this.

👇🏼 (edited) 3mo

AnnCrystal Me: I believe that just because evil has had large and small victories throughout history, the “war“ hasn't been won one way or another. 3mo

AnnCrystal Friend: But doesn't that scare you?

👇🏼 3mo

AnnCrystal Me: Do I fear for my family, community, our whole country and world. Of course. My Prayers are not only for protection and to seek guidance, they are for strength. Strength for myself to find creative ways to aspire and inspire each day forward.

But Prayers are more, they are lending any “good“ forces at work strength and endurance. No matter from which cultural belief or religion because they're all as real as mine.

👇🏼 3mo

AnnCrystal My Friend was silent for awhile before saying: Will you hate me for saying that none of this has made me a true believer?

👇🏼 3mo

AnnCrystal Me: I would be more surprised if you were suddenly a believer.

Just promise me this, never stop questioning. And don't only focus on the bad, see the good too...even in the darkest events throughout history, seek out the “good“ that is at work giving light to the darkness.

👇🏼 (edited) 3mo

AnnCrystal Friend: you don't really, like, really, really believe in Demons do you?

👇🏼 3mo

AnnCrystal Me: let's just say that I'd prefer to battle it out with a daemon over a “bad“ human any day.

👇🏼 3mo

AnnCrystal
Friend: I don't know what's worse...believing there is a good God who doesn't care, or no God at all, or that there is actual evil out there who knows how to outwit the Almighty.

Jari-chan Thanks for sharing this 💯🫂🫂 3mo

AnnCrystal 🫂 @Jari-chan Thank You for reading. I was a little unsure about posting this one. ✊🏼🦅💝. 3mo

Jari-chan @AnnCrystal 🫂 understandable. But it's your feed and you should be allowed to post what is important to you 💖 3mo

AnnCrystal Thank You 😘 @Jari-chan ✊🏼🫂✊🏼💝. 3mo

Dralex090 @AnnCrystal … to summarize your note, are you saying You prefer to serve the Devil since the good God doesn‘t care. Do you know the story of Job ?? 3mo

Dralex090 @AnnCrystal …. Job, a righteous, God-fearing man, experienced severe trials and afflictions. Job lost all of his property, his children died, and he suffered great physical agony. In the midst of his suffering, Job was visited by three friends. Though Job's friends intended to comfort him, they accused him of transgression 3mo

Dralex090 @AnnCrystal …God mentions Job to Satan saying, "There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil.” However, Satan contends that Job is only righteous because God has favored him generously. 3mo

Dralex090 @AnnCrystal … Satan dares God that, if given the approval to inflict suffering, Job will change and curse God. God permits Satan to abuse Job to experiment with this brazen claim, but he forbids Satan to take Job‘s life in the manner. 3mo

Dralex090 Have faith in God. If you know the end story of Job 3mo

AnnCrystal @Dralex090 You've misunderstood the message here 🤗. I am a daughter of a Catholic God. To acknowledge Lucifer, is not to serve the devil, it's to acknowledge the existence of evil. ✝️ 3mo

AnnCrystal @Dralex090 Catholic POV of the story of Job is a teaching lesson. Teachings that include the following:

The book shows that it is not a sin to mourn and struggle with pain. Job does not pretend his suffering away, but honestly expresses his grief and confusion to God. His raw, honest prayers serve as a model for how believers can express their sorrow and bewilderment to God in times of crisis. 👇🏼 3mo

AnnCrystal Now, I will admit that my own Church would call me a Cafeteria Catholic. I call myself an Out of the Box Catholic. I weigh things differently. Finding my own understandings for stories like Job and Abraham (when God asked Abraham to sacrifice his son). I read them with a unique POV. 🤗✝️. (edited) 3mo

TieDyeDude Thank you for sharing your feelings. As a non-believer, I know that I have dismissed the faithful before, mostly out of frustration that well-meaning platitudes have been co-opted by those in power to avoid taking responsibility for their lack of action. I am also aware that, as someone who often dismisses “thoughts and prayers,“ I have signed online petitions before; it probably isn't going to enact change, 👇 3mo

TieDyeDude but you are putting your voice out there in the hopes that it will fortify those who are struggling. Evil is out there, and there isn‘t a “right” way to push back against it. Thank you for giving me something to think about ✌❤ (edited) 3mo

AnnCrystal 💫 Thank You @TieDyeDude for reading and your honesty. I am grateful you read this with such an open opinion ✊🏼🦅💫. 3mo

There is talk about there being nationwide protest during Labor Day weekend.

If you're going out to join the protests, please be careful. Please keep in consideration that Federal Agents are armed and Little t has now armed the National Gaurds as of this week.

Little t and his minions are playing monopoly with America and Americans.

We the People must play this reality like a game piece on a chess board if we are going to win.

👇🏼

AnnCrystal
Be safe Littens, have patience, be vigilant. We must be careful for traps. Put on your best poker face, which will outrage our opponents.

And be watchful for terrorists.

Also, try to keep at least a two-week stock on necessities for you and your fur/feather/scaly babies.

✊🏼😎🐻🦅✌🏼🤍✌🏼.

Please excuse my choice of image for this post...but nothing else fit what is happening to Americans.

🤗🥺🤔🇺🇸✊🏼🤬🇺🇸.

There has been some debates today about Our Nation's Flag.

I was raised by my mom that I should always respect Our American Flag and Our Land or I am only disrespecting myself.

But now there is a threat coming from Little t aimed at anyone burning or disrespecting Our Flag

Please share this posts with any protesting friends. This is serious! We cannot give these people a single reason to send out the National Guard across the America.

👇🏼

AnnCrystal We're apparently dealing with hunters who like to taunt those they prey upon. We must not fall for their traps. We must not give the oppressors a reason to attack!

Instead save the American flag as we struggle to save Democracy! Fly her with true American patriotism as we walk into the future, and work to form a Country we can truly be proud about.

✊🏼💙🇺🇲🦅🇺🇸💙✌🏼.

dabbe From Michael Douglas as THE AMERICAN PRESIDENT: “You want to claim this land as the land of the free? Then the symbol of your country can't just be a flag; the symbol also has to be one of its citizens exercising his right to burn that flag in protest. Show me that, defend that, celebrate that in your classrooms. Then, you can stand up and sing about the “land of the free.“

Keep fighting the fight; democracy is worth it. 💙✊🏻💙 4mo

AnnCrystal ✊🏼😎✌🏼 @dabbe Democracy is Totally Worth Fighting The Fight.

There are going to be Nation wide protests this weekend. My county and state is already prepared. Be careful. I'm assuming you and your husband are staying home because of your surgery, but maybe send the hubby to stock up on necessities beforehand??

Since the raidings began because of Little t's ignorance, my mom is “not allowed“ to go grocery shopping alone... she's a little warrior who is ready to fight back and defend her American rights, which means she would likely get herself into trouble if she ventures out and about alone ✊🏼😂.

I wanted to give a warning to be careful while going out shopping.

👇🏼

AnnCrystal As I've posted about, we are facing prejudice from store customers. From “if looks could kill“ to “utter rudeness.“

About two weeks ago, I parked the grocery cart against a shelf near the end of an aisle. I moved around the basket and stood leaning against the front of the shopping cart while I waited on my mom as she made some food selections.

All of a sudden, my cart was slammed against my lower back, I even bowed backwards a bit.

👇🏼 (edited) 4mo

AnnCrystal I spun around and the guy mumbled as if it were my fault that he ran into my cart.

It took four days to heal. I waited a few days before I mentioned this to my mom, she wasn't happy that I hadn't told her sooner. I'm just glad it was me and not my mother that this happened to. My mom did tell me to yell out loudly the next time, “ouch, what's your problem!“ to embarrass the person.

👇🏼 4mo

AnnCrystal These people seem to be trying to cause a ruckus, possibly trying to get people upset so they can have an excuse to call the cops.

Just try to stay calm and avoid such people...unless they try to drag you off someplace or become violent, then you need to yell for help and fight back!

There are still too many ghost grocery carts abandoned in the aisles. Try to venture out in pairs.

lil1inblue Stay safe! I'm so sorry. 💓🫂 💓 4mo

dabbe i can't even believe that you had to post these here. On our country. So sorry. 💙✊🏻💙 4mo

AnnCrystal @TheBookHippie that is really good that she teams with a group. An absolute safer option. If raids there, tell her to be cautious. The barbarians seem to target areas where “Targeted People“ can be swept up in one clean sweep. ✊🏼😎💙. 4mo

AnnCrystal Thank You 😘 @Suet624 we try to stay close to home unless we can't help it. We are trying to avoid having to “defend“ ourselves from the federal barbarians. Be safe out there too ✊🏼🫂✌🏼💙. 4mo

AnnCrystal Thank You 😘 @lil1inblue we must all be more vigilant in this crazy world...just too sad ✊🏼🫂👌🏼💙. 4mo

AnnCrystal Thank You 😘 @dabbe the levels of hatred is unreal. Be safe ✊🏼🫂✌🏼💙. 4mo

TheBookHippie @AnnCrystal Unfortunately or fortunately ICE raids have been common here for decades. Horrific last regime and this one more so than usual but it‘s still something we are use to. Ugh. 4mo

AnnCrystal @TheBookHippie True, even here. But it's during these harsher times that more Americans get swept up too...and beaten...and seemingly vanished ✊🏼🥺✌🏼💙. 4mo
