• É inaceitável que empresas como a Anthropic, apoiadas por gigantes como Amazon e Google, possam operar com tamanha irresponsabilidade e desrespeito à propriedade intelectual!

  • En California, hay un colectivo agrícola llamado Agroecology Commons. Parece que están lidiando con la pérdida de subvenciones federales. No sé, suena complicado. Ella se unió a un programa llamado Bay Area Farmer-to-Farmer Training (BAFFT). Dura nueve meses y es para agricultores principiantes. Ahora, Swain está haciendo una pasantía con Berkeley Basket, un proyecto de agricultura apoyado por la comunidad en patios traseros urbanos. Todo esto suena bastante... bien, un poco aburrido, la verdad.

    El colectivo parece estar intentando adaptarse a la situación, pero no sé si eso es emocionante o solo un esfuerzo más. La idea de aprender sobre agricultura y trabajar en algo relacionado suena bien, pero luego te das cuenta de que es solo un ciclo de entrenamientos y pasantías. La gente a menudo busca algo más interesante de lo que el campo agrícola puede ofrecer.

    La pérdida de subsidios federales no ayuda en nada. Es un problema que muchos enfrentan, y aunque ellos están buscando maneras de continuar, el esfuerzo parece un poco... sin vida. Aunque tienen buenas intenciones, a veces el entusiasmo simplemente no está presente. Quizás lo hacen porque tienen que hacerlo, no porque realmente les apasione.

    Así que ahí está, Agroecology Commons, tratando de seguir adelante mientras todo a su alrededor parece un poco desolador. ¿Cuánto tiempo más podrán aguantar en esta situación? No lo sé. Tal vez otros se sientan más motivados, pero yo, bueno, solo veo un montón de esfuerzo sin mucho sentido. Eso sí, la agricultura en California puede ser un tema de conversación, pero ni siquiera eso parece suficiente para levantar el ánimo.

  • Oggi, il Comitato per l'Agricoltura della Camera continua a discutere delle regole sul benessere degli animali. Non che sia davvero interessante, ma pare che stiano cercando di bloccare alcune leggi statali, come la Proposition 12 della California e la Question 3 del Massachusetts.

    Durante un'udienza che è durata tre ore, hanno ascoltato i rappresentanti dell'industria agricola animale. Hanno detto che queste leggi stiano creando problemi per agricoltori e allevatori, e anche per i consumatori.

    Insomma, sembra che la preoccupazione principale sia il “danno” che queste nuove normative potrebbero infliggere. Ma, onestamente, chi ha voglia di seguire tutto questo?

    Tutto resta un po' noioso, con le stesse lamentele e spiegazioni che girano in tondo. La gente si preoccupa del benessere degli animali, ma poi ci sono anche gli agricoltori che si sentono minacciati. È un dibattito infinito, e personalmente, non vedo l'ora che finisca.

    Alla fine, chi ne beneficia? Forse nessuno. Ma il Comitato per l'Agricoltura continua a portare avanti questa discussione, come se fosse davvero cruciale. La verità è che, tutto sommato, sembra solo un altro episodio di un reality show noioso.

  • Oggi assistiamo a un attacco vergognoso e inaccettabile da parte delle autorità federali contro lavoratori agricoli innocenti in California del Sud. Come può una nazione che si vanta di valori come la libertà e la giustizia permettere che eventi come quelli avvenuti a Carpinteria e Camarillo accadano sotto i nostri occhi? Le immagini di agenti di immigrazione che, supportati da veicoli militari e elicotteri, hanno fatto irruzione in due fattorie sono semplicemente inaccettabili. Ma la cosa più scioccante è l'uso del gas lacrimogeno contro i manifestanti che avevano il coraggio di opporsi a questa violenza!

    È incredibile pensare che, mentre l'industria della cannabis fiorisce e genera profitti enormi, i lavoratori che rendono possibile tutto ciò vengono trattati come criminali. Queste operazioni di detenzione di massa non sono solo una violazione dei diritti umani, ma anche un chiaro segno di quanto le autorità siano disposte a scendere in basso pur di mantenere il controllo e alimentare la paura tra le comunità vulnerabili. I lavoratori agricoli, che faticano giorno e notte, meritano rispetto e protezione, non terrore e repressione!

    E cosa ci dice tutto questo sulla nostra società? Che siamo disposti a sacrificare i diritti fondamentali di alcuni per il bene di pochi? Che la giustizia è solo un termine vuoto usato per giustificare abusi di potere? È ora di dire basta! Non possiamo più rimanere in silenzio mentre le agenzie federali si comportano come se fossero in guerra contro i cittadini. Questa non è la democrazia che vogliamo!

    Dobbiamo alzare la voce contro queste ingiustizie e chiedere responsabilità a chi è al potere. È inaccettabile che i lavoratori delle fattorie, che contribuiscono alla nostra economia, siano trattati come spazzatura. È ora di lottare per i diritti di tutti, e non possiamo permettere che il silenzio e la paura ci fermino. La resistenza è l'unica risposta a questa oppressione!

    Fermiamo queste operazioni brutali che non fanno altro che perpetuare la violenza e il disprezzo per la dignità umana. Dobbiamo unirci e far sentire la nostra voce: non siamo solo spettatori! È tempo di agire e di proteggere chi lavora duramente per il nostro cibo, la nostra economia e il nostro futuro.

  • The exploitation of incarcerated individuals as firefighters in California is nothing short of a disgrace. This system, which has been in place since 1915, is a glaring example of how society can dehumanize and commodify the most vulnerable among us. While the Anti-Recidivism Coalition (ARC) is stepping in to provide quality food for these incarcerated firefighters, let's not kid ourselves—this is not a solution; it’s merely a band-aid on a festering wound.

    Why are we, as a society, comfortable with the idea of using incarcerated men and women to fight wildfires, often under harsh conditions and for a fraction of the pay that their free counterparts would receive? These individuals are being put in life-threatening situations, and for what? A few dollars a day? This is not just a crime against humanity; it’s a systematic failure of our justice system that perpetuates inequality and exploitation.

    The fact that this has been normalized for over a century is infuriating. We must ask ourselves: What kind of society allows for the incarceration of individuals to be synonymous with free labor? The Golden State, known for its progressiveness in many areas, remains stuck in the dark ages when it comes to the treatment of its incarcerated population. The idea that we can justify their involvement in firefighting because it 'helps' them is a thinly veiled excuse to exploit them for labor while simultaneously denying them basic rights and dignity.

    Yes, the ARC is helping by feeding more than 800 incarcerated firefighters, but where is the outrage over the entire system that allows this situation to exist in the first place? Feeding someone decent food while they are being exploited does not absolve society of its moral responsibilities. We need to demand comprehensive reform that not only acknowledges the contributions of these individuals but also ensures that they are treated with the dignity they deserve.

    This is not just about food; this is about justice. We need to dismantle the structures that allow for such exploitation to persist. Instead of celebrating the fact that someone is "feeding California’s incarcerated firefighters," we should be enraged that incarcerated individuals are still fighting fires for pennies on the dollar. This narrative must change, and it must change now. We cannot allow our society to continue to turn a blind eye to this grotesque reality.

    It's time to stand up and call for a complete overhaul of how we treat our incarcerated population, especially those who risk their lives battling wildfires. It’s time to demand change, to demand justice, and to put an end to this abhorrent practice once and for all.

  • Ah, California—a sunny paradise where the only thing more abundant than its crab culture is the regulations threatening to drown it. Yes, you heard that right! While the rest of us are scrambling to find our next avocado toast, our beloved crab culture is caught in a regulatory net tighter than a fisherman’s grip on his latest catch.

    As we embark on our early morning pilgrimage to the Sausalito harbor, I can’t help but marvel at the grand tradition of crabbing that has been passed down through generations. There’s something poetic about a grandfather revving up his boat, ready to brave the waves for that sweet, sweet crab. But wait—what’s that? A bureaucrat lurking in the shadows, clipboard in hand, ready to slap a fine on anyone daring to enjoy the simple pleasure of catching their dinner.

    Let’s take a moment to appreciate the irony. Here we are, trying to embrace the rich crab culture of California, and it feels like we’re trying to swim with weights tied to our ankles. Regulations are piling up faster than the crab traps on the dock, ensuring that every trip out to sea is less about the thrill of the catch and more about navigating an obstacle course of red tape. It’s enough to make a crab want to crawl back into its shell and stay there—because, honestly, who needs the hassle?

    Imagine this: you’re out there on the open water, your grandfather’s enthusiasm filling the air, and just as you’re about to hoist up a trap filled with the ocean's bounty, a voice crackles over the radio. “Attention, crab enthusiasts! Please ensure you have a permit for your crab pot, a fishing license, and a notarized letter from your great-aunt Gertrude stating that you’re allowed to fish in these waters!” All this, while the crab simply rolls its eyes, probably thinking, “Why don’t you just put me back in the pot while you’re at it?”

    The crux of the matter is clear: our crab culture, much like the crustaceans themselves, is at risk of being boiled—er, I mean, regulated—into a state of bland compliance. If we’re not careful, the only thing left of this vibrant tradition will be memories of grandfathers and their boats, overshadowed by a mountain of paperwork.

    So, what can we do? It’s time to rally, my fellow crab lovers! Let’s save California’s crab culture from drowning in regulations. Let’s stand up for the right to fish freely and enjoy the fruits of our labor without the looming threat of a fine or a regulation that makes you question whether it’s worth it to even set out to sea.

    In the spirit of crabbing and camaraderie, let’s push back against the tide of bureaucracy. After all, if we can't enjoy a day on the water chasing crabs, what’s the point of living in this so-called paradise?

  • The famous actor Arnold Schwarzenegger

    He posted a photo of himself sleeping on the street, under his famous bronze statue, and sadly wrote:

    "How times have changed" ...

    The reason he wrote the phrase was not only because he was old, but because when he was governor of California he inaugurated that hotel with his statue.

    The hotel management told Arnold that "you can come at any time and you will always have a separate room for yourself."

    When Arnold resigned as governor and wanted to stay at the hotel one day, the administration refused to give him a room, arguing that he would have to pay because the hotel was almost full.

    He brought a “Sleeping Bag” and lay down under the statue and explained what he wanted to convey: “When I was in an important position, they always congratulated me, and when I lost this position, they forgot about me and did not keep their promise. Do not rely on your position or the amount of money you have, or your power, or your intelligence, that will not last.”

    Trying to teach everyone that when you are "Important" in people's eyes, everyone is your "Friend". But once you don't benefit or serve their interests, you won't matter.

    "You are not always who you think you will always be, nothing lasts forever."

    People come and go; everyone's interests change overnight. They may embrace you today and betray you tomorrow and even trample on you.

    THE CHALLENGE then, is to learn to choose our connections well, disconnecting from the toxic and opportunistic ones, and taking the time to place, in our circles of trust, those who love us for who we are, and not for what they can take from us out of interest or reject out of disinterest.
