Tomorrow, Suisun City holds a vote on whether to just up and annex 15k acres for that Cursed project.

Well, after just a few weeks' notice (that I didn't hear of till just now, ugh), here comes their next swing:
Tuesday, April 15th, 6:30pm

"Building community is about building relationships." one speaker points out, before commenting on the tactics being used.
"$49 BILLION in associated infrastructure costs, with no source for who that money is actually coming from. I can only hope we are partnering with someone who has our interests at heart."
Next guy saying things like:
"This is a declaration of war."
"These people think they can take us for saps."
"You can't sprawl your way out of a deficit."
One public comment just now was a lady singing a little folk song she wrote with lines like "Oh, I wish I could buy me a city council man... I wish I could buy me my very own town"
One of the next people remarks wearily that he sent them a letter a while back-- "22 pages"
Whole room applauds again when each is done, person in charge keeps reminding everyone, "No reaction. No reaction, please. I just want to remind you that everyone in this room should stay neutral."
No reaction... Yes, suck all the emotion and soul out of the room and this issue...

Flipboard Art & Photo DeskThe Japanese American National Museum (JANM) in Los Angeles faces federal funding cuts of $2 million as a result of DOGE's actions. But the team at JANM isn't pulling back any of its diversity, equity and inclusion efforts. “Our community is based on diversity, equity is guaranteed to us in the Constitution, and inclusion is what we believe in,” Fujioka told the LA Times. Here's more from @ArtNews.

InspiredByBlackElk🚨 Big Agriculture Wants to Hide Pesticide Dangers! 🚨
A group of state Attorneys General (from Louisiana, Montana, North Dakota, South Carolina, and South Dakota) is pushing the EPA to block states from requiring stronger warnings on dangerous pesticides. 🤯
Right now, states like California can require extra warning labels if a pesticide is linked to cancer, birth defects, or reproductive harm—even if the EPA downplays the risks. These attorneys general want to ban states from adding their own protections, forcing everyone to follow only the EPA’s (often weaker) rules.
Why does this matter? 💡 Because pesticide companies have HUGE influence over the EPA, and they often pressure regulators to ignore or downplay health risks. If this rule goes through, corporations win, and public health loses.
States should have the right to protect people, farms, and wildlife from toxic chemicals—not be forced to accept watered-down safety standards.
💬 What do you think? Should states be allowed to warn people about pesticide dangers?
Let Trump's EPA know in the comments! 😛

Our population is so high, and the surveillance/interference so intense, a big general strike is hard to pull off so yeah, targeted localized industry strikes that penetrate specific targets in focused blows-- all over the place, yes I think that could have a good impact. Tenant strikes, mass squats will be a big factor too and that will get messy.
Dual power, direct action, mutual aid, all those things.
