I have more respect for a man who lets me know where he stands, even if he's wrong, than the one who comes up like an angel and is nothing but a devil Malcolm X

We've now reached a point where Big Ag has so much power they'll send a cease and desist to a farmer for giving away fruit to his community.
Cesar Mora is a California nectarine farmer who found himself locked into a contract with a Big Ag distributor that had him farming at a loss.
With no way to profit and no other distributor willing to touch a deal already tangled in litigation, he did the most human thing possible and gave 125,000 pounds of nectarines away to his local community rather than watch them rot.
The distributor's response was a cease and desist letter telling him he couldn't even do that.
This is the playbook, lock a farmer into a contract that doesn't work for them, eliminate every alternative, and then use legal threats to maintain total control.
It's the same reason thousands of small farms have disappeared quietly over the past few decades because the economics are so deliberately stacked against them.
The fix isn't complicated but it requires actually changing where money flows.
When farmers can sell directly to the people eating their food without a distributor taking the margin, the math starts to work again.
That's the whole reason Localize exists, to connect you directly to farmers in your region.

"Hemos tomado 1.000 millones de dólares en criptomonedas de Irán, simplemente nos hemos apoderado de sus billeteras, muchos iraníes estarán escribiendo en redes sociales sin saber que les hemos robado sus billeteras".
Scott Bessent, Secretario del Tesoro de EEUU, se enorgullece de robar 1.000 millones en criptomonedas de Irán como si fuesen hackers y delincuentes cibernéticos.
Piratas Unidos con Trump ni siquiera tapan sus robos, son la mayor organizacion criminal del planeta.

As Governor of CA I will direct the Attorney General to prosecute any police departments colluding in the illegal federal kidnappings of California residents whatever their status.
And the Dems could do this right now; except they are slave catchers too.
The relationship between Team Blue and Team Red is that one steals, the other holds the bag.

JUST IN: Kamala Harris is speaking tonight in Greensboro, NC, and this woman hasn’t forgotten about Kamala co-signing the genocide of Palestinians (a real holocaust) as Vice President.

Joe Biden had 4 years to reinstate the Iran nuclear deal that Trump ripped up. He refused. And Kamala Harris didn't run on reinstating it either. In fact, she saber-rattled at Iran during interviews.
What good is electing Democrats to "clean up Trump's mess" when they never do it?

FIVE YEARS OF GROCERY RECEIPTS JUST EXPOSED THE MOST PROTECTED LIE IN ECONOMICS.
Since 2019, the government says cumulative inflation is about 25%.
Here is what actually happened to the things you buy every single week:
Eggs: +79%
Ground beef: +77%
Coffee: +68%
Car insurance: +55%
Electricity: +43%
Bacon: +26%
Bread: +24%
Five out of seven of those are running 2x to 3x faster than the official number. And the only two that tracked near CPI? Bacon and bread. The lowest-cost, lowest-margin items in the basket.
The things that actually drain a household budget, the protein, the energy, the insurance you are legally required to carry, those are the ones the official number keeps understating.
The CPI was retooled in the 1990s to reduce reported inflation. They added substitution adjustments. They changed how they weight housing. They smoothed out the things that spike. This is documented BLS methodology, not conspiracy.
Food overall is up 30% since end of 2019. Car insurance premiums up 54% since 2020. Electricity just hit all-time record prices. But the official line is 2.4% annual inflation and the Fed debates rate cuts.
Your grocery receipt is the only honest inflation report left.

During the last Gilded Age, the robber barons founded universities, museums, libraries, etc., to discourage workers from organizing & staging a revolution. We know this because they wrote it all down in letters to each other, congratulating themselves on being very clever.
During the last Gilded Age, the robber barons saw a cultural value to founding universities, museums, concert halls, foundations. Many enduring institutions were founded by the ultra-rich of the 1890 who felt a sense of noblesse oblige that was also socially rewarded.
Not anymore. These people see little social value to founding anything that doesn’t make a profit.

Harm reduction is something Liberals say when they really mean harm re-distribution. The harm is never reduced, it’s just re-distributed to someone or someplace else. It’s why they told me I had to vote for someone committing genocide over there, to protect my rights over here.
