Share and talk about what Warren Buffet has to say about many corporations: in essence, they’re parasites, sucking money out of your community and feeding on your tax dollars. Thanks to GOP tax cuts, those dollars are never coming back to your community to help fund the things it needs to thrive.

A Nation That Governs by Force The Wallowas, the Nez Perce, and the calculation being made about how tired we are about our public lands (and beyond).

The destruction by the GOP of the public lands on which we hike, camp, fish and hunt — all so a few people can put more money in their already stuffed pockets — is only beginning.

How long will we allow it to continue?

All that money you pay in taxes to the feds? It used to come back to us as roads, schools, teachers, hospitals, emergency services and other such things.
Now they go into the pockets of Trump and his cronies, and go mostly for bombs, bullets and private prisons. You’ll never see that money again.

Danielle Smith, Not Donald Trump, is the Existential Threat to Canada Canada, not the US, is the real beacon of democracy for the world. We mustn't let Smith's delusional authoritarian libertarianism ruin our moment

Libertarianism, despite its supposed focus on freedom, collapses into authoritarianism. That’s the result of a system that eschews checks and balances against power. It’s the consequence of allowing the sort of control over others that comes from the unchecked concentration of wealth and resources.

The Guerrilla Grafters graft fruit bearing branches onto non-fruit bearing, ornamental fruit trees. Over time, delicious, nutritious fruit is made available to urban residents through these grafts. We aim to prove that a culture of care can be cultivated from the ground up. We aim to turn city streets into food forests, and unravel civilization one branch at a time. Guerrilla Grafters are a self-selected, international and laterally organized workforce. This workforce includes the San Francisco-based artists: Margaretha Haughwout, Tara Hui and Ian Pollock.

Interesting idea (similar to guerilla gardening):
