@foodnotbombswpb has been issued three citations for distributing food at their weekly food share along with independent journalist of WPB Government Watch.

“A disgrace to our First Amendment rights and a blatant act of cruelty” said one before vowing to fight the charges. @foodnotbombswpb has been sharing food for 16 years as direct action against war, imperialism, and capitalism.

The ordinance with which they’re being cited requires permits for events that feed 25+ people and only allows two permits per year per location. While Food Not Bombs universally stands against permits, this particular ordinance is designed to make compliance impossible and force the group to shut down.

However the community is fighting back! Students, community gardens, other Food Not Bombs chapters, journalists, socialists, and anarchists have rallied behind these food shares since the police began their campaign of harassment five months ago. Police will not be able to shut these food shares down.

Now all eyes now look to the Courts. FTL famously lost a similar case in federal court to @foodnotbombsftlauderdale and now WPB stands to as well.

There are five Food Not Bombs chapters being criminalized for sharing food in the so-called United States @foodnotbombshtx @memphisfoodnotbombs @fnbaberdeen and Food Not Bombs Las Vegas. As always, Food Not Bombs continues unabated.

Join @foodnotbombswpb food shares every Saturday at 4pm! Call WPB Government and demand a stop to these unconstitutional citations before a federal lawsuit costs the city!

I am very much a pacifist, but Putin and those that support him need to be eliminated. The plain reasoning is that the harm and existential threat they pose to all others necessitates their execution. It's a difficult position to advocate for, but it appears to be necessary.

"Every death at Gallipoli was like a sapling torn out of the earth." - from Anthony Albanese's Anzac Day speech

Let us never forget that *every* death of the righteous and the innocent in war is a sapling torn from the earth.

Neither of the parties in charge care to #EndWar. However, we need to end war. All war. War in the interest of ego and resource control. #AntiWar

I expect by making these assumptions we might eliminate road rage, have larger circles of friends, build more diverse communities, experience far greater life satisfaction, and finally end war and the climate emergency.

Can we start now?

What if we all started making different assumptions about people?

For instance: that in very many respects, Jews are just like everybody else; that poor people got a crappy shake in life and deserve much better; that Black men are safe and lovely; that indigenous people often know more than the rest of us; that women are the bedrock of every society and should be honored; that white supremacists could use a big hug and a cry.

Why is it not common sense to end all wars, domestic & international, for Climate & Social Policies?

Wars & over-policing costs US so many lives. It’s counterproductive and history has proven that US ends up paying MORE for the destruction they caused.
