You notice how thousands and thousands of cops aren't coming out to condemn Jonathan Ross for senselessly killing Renee Good?
This is what people mean by "all cops are bastards". If this were any other profession, the entire group would condemn it. With cops it's the reverse, they all justify it.

Tree Action Seattle wants to preserve one of the most environmentally destructive forms of land use human beings have ever invented - sprawling car centric single family lots with a few random trees scattered around and lots of invasive plants and pavement. They’d rather kids die than drive less.
I’ll go one further: Tree Action Seattle is an organization that promotes mass ecological destruction in order to preserve individual backyard lawn trees on private residential parcels.

Have been thinking/reading about this a lot this year. Reconstruction was the most far-reaching reform period in U.S. history, and was driven largely by state legislatures. Postbellum state lawmakers built public health and public school systems for the first time; many banned corporate welfare.

You are doing the right thing. It sucks to be under siege but you are under siege. And you won't be free while these law enforcement agencies continue to exist.
I can't describe how bad Minneapolis feels right now. My neighbors are pulling kids out of school. The public schools are offering remote learning until 2/12. We are having conversations in our alleys about how to protect ourselves. It feels like a military occupation with a blockade.
The US Department of Agriculture suspends all federal funding to Minnesota, effective immediately.
