I never did end up expanding on this idea, but now that I've gotten some rest, I can.

Why do I think that anti-fascists fly mexican flags in Wenatchee?

Alright, so when I was driving through Wenatchee, I noticed cars driving around with full-sized mexican flags. I took note of it. It's an interesting and weird bit of information. Central Washington is a very long way to go from mexico for a mexican immigrant community to establish itself.

After a few more hours driving west, I finally puzzled through it.

Wenatchee, and the surrounding areas, are orchard country. Wenatchee runs along the Columbia river, and the water there feeds orchards. This area is massively dependent on immigrant labor to harvest the orchards.

As I was driving through wenatchee, I noticed every single orchard with "workers needed" signs on them.

But what I noticed a conspicuous absence of? Trump flags. Not a single trump flag in the Wenatchee area.

What I think is going on in wenatchee, is the lack of immigrant labor is allowing mexican immigrant laborers to exercise labor power. The mexican flags they're flying from their cars are a sort of labor strike declaration.

What the mexican flags are saying is "you need us, and you need our labor, and we know what those trump flags mean, and if you fly those trump flags, you will have absolutely no one to harvest your crops."

i guess we’re just raised differently

Judge white people's anti-vaxx all you want. I don't care.

But when you come for black people, who have a horrible history with how they've been and are being treated by the medical system, you're going after the wrong people.

You need to look at the core of the issue, and the core of the issues is the mistreatment of black bodies has been going on for the longest of time, that's still on going today.

That anyone with that kind of history is worried about any vaccine is completely fucking valid.

1.2 degrees is where we are now and there are fires all over the world, alarming ice loss, steady sea level rise, damaging thunderstorms and flash flooding, and vastly stronger hurricane and typhoon seasons.

That isn't a "maybe we need to worry about global warming someday." There's been a vast increase in these events in just the last five years when warming has gone up just a fraction of that 1.2 degrees. Imagine what more than double where we are now will look like.

If you’re prone to being unalarmed, than you may very well find yourself very alarmed when things are catastrophic and it's too late to do a damn thing about it.

Good morning, #California.

#VoteNoOnTheRecall

Let’s make it a HUGE win for Gov. Newsom and California Dems. I want the GQP to be embarrassed for even attempting to recall him and wasting so much time and money.

#VoteNoOnTheRecall

Please take time to vote if you haven't. You can vote today in one of several ways and even register and vote today if you need to.

There is too much at stake - rights for women, minorities, LGBTQIA people, not to mention reasonable COVID procedures for the state and the state budget. I've worked some phone banks. Nobody I've talked to wanted Larry Elder anywhere near the governor's office. Some just didn't realize how important their vote was or that they still had to vote no if they were against the recall. Spread the word.

Voting starts at 7:00 A.M. and ends at 8:00 P.M. Be sure to #VoteNoOnTheRecall
