There's a campaign near me to protect valuable old trees which are slated for destruction. These trees are on public property and being killed to make way for a parking deck. The misguided decision makers have already made it "legal" for them to do this, and some of us intend to fight.

I would love to hear any stories or tips on how to approach strategies for raising public awareness, staging actions, and the like. Tree sitting is already a given. I think our situation is at the point now where we cannot prevail via the legal system. They're doing the murder by the book. I think the only leverage we have is to turn public sentiment so hard against these actors that the political cost for them is too extreme. And even that's a longshot.

Thanks and much love.

Update: I welcome discussion of all methods and actions! After reflecting further I wanted to say I'm particularly interested in agitprop and messaging strategies. Perhaps this is discussed in the Ecodefense link - will be checking that out shortly.

God damn google, I hope the Newpipe devs figure out a workaround soon

Time really gets away from us, eh? Sometimes things take the course they should, IMO. Hope you two have a great time

Ugh, that sucks... depending on the pharmacy (and relative rarity of your meds) you may be able to have them find some for you. That said some shops, chain retail especially, are too understaffed to do that kind of legwork on a patient's behalf. If you're able to find some then there's a possibility you could have your rx transferred somewhere that does have what you need. Process for that varies from state to state though (I'm assuming you're in the US)

Today's agenda, ultramega house cleaning all day then attending a community building supper hosted by the queer camp my kids are attending this week. Social battery is in rapid charge mode, but truthfully I'm actually looking forward to meeting the parents of other queer kids. Hoping there will be other comrades among the crowd.

I think this is it, thanks comrade

My reading comprehension might be dogshit right now but whatev please forgive! I didn't mean your post, comrade, I'm wondering who Hawley's comment is for.

For sure, nothing beats tonguing those blisters on the roof of my mouth afterward
