OK, so the Don Lemon arrest is a bigger deal than I thought:

https://www.npr.org/2026/01/30/nx-s1-5693756/don-lemon-arrest-cnn-minneapolis

The Bill of Rights exists as a bulwark against tyranny.

Any governmental leader who violates so much as one of those rights is, therefore, a tyrant.

This administration seems hellbent on violating every single one - certainly the top 10.

They are, therefore, an illegitimate regime.

Act accordingly.

It's basically enshittification applied to agriculture.

If it spreads, it will lead to famine.

Not because of climate or anything like that - but because of the same reasons *EVERY* famine since the beginning of the 20th century happened:

Selfish assholes putting their own desire for power over all sense of reason or community.

When are we going to throw these fuckers off the boat?

"When we received an indication that a renewal was uncertain, we considered leasing or selling the land to another interested steward whose values aligned with ours and could continue the legacy of agriculture on this land," said Brue Baukol, VP of the folks owning the land.

"Steward" is an interesting word choice here.

One must assume the coffee farmers *were* stewarding the land.

This is weasel-speak for "We're hoping for massive payday - fuck the farmers."

Gavin Newsom is a coward.

https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2025/12/04/newsom-takes-a-situational-line-with-tech-as-silicon-valley-cozies-up-to-trump/

There are no "leaders" worth your attention.

One side is actively fascist, threatening violence to our own citizens if they don;t stay in line.

The other side has done nothing to address it and are all out of ideas.

Because they are **jealous**.

That's the nature of power.

There are no righteous politicians. Politics and government won;t save you.

We can only save each other.

Power perverts are doing what they always do - focusing on how they can benefit personally from he chaos and manipulating and exploiting others to reach that end.

Decent people just want to be with their communities, focus on stabilizing their lives and those of the people who matter to them.

But we're distracted by the need to "earn a living" - an unnecessary obligation forced on us by pathetic, visionless, sociopathic cowards.

Enough.

They put ridiculous obligations on our lives - we're expected to "earn our living", as if we have to answer to them for our very existence.

Our lives from cradle to grave are directed toward their needs to the detriment of our communities.

Money is the gatekeeper to even the simplest things, like clean air, housing, and basic freedom, respect, and dignity.

They put obligations on us, but fight any obligation we put on them in return.

Get rid of them all.

If you marched on Saturday, but showed up to work again today like a good little employee...

YOU ARE THE PROBLEM.

Start with yourself. Then the people you can physically touch and reach. Expand tot he people *THEY* can touch and reach.

Organize.

But don;t fight.

*BUILD*

They want you to fight. Fighting causes anxiety and instability.

Build alternatives that reduce anxiety and create stability.

Start now.

And don't look back.

Hey everyone - can you please stop posting videos and images of ICE raiding places and detaining folks?

And start posting how to fucking stop it?

Talking about problems without offering solutions is just doing the oppressor's job for them - you create anxiety and fear, drive division, and push good people toward burnout.

If you're going to post a problem, offer a solution.

Otherwise, STFU.

Thank you.

The solution at least includes a #GeneralStrike leading to a #PermanentStrike
