Vineyards about to be pruned

"Fernando" sent this from Arvin CA. "After pruning the vineyards, we are tying up the loose guides. By fastening them to trellis wires, vines won't falling to the ground when the grapes are ready to harvest. This helps ensure good air circulation and sun exposure." #WeFeedYou

Great talk yesterday by Marc Carpenter, on his revelatory new book The War on Illahee: Genocide, Complicity, and Cover-ups in the Pioneer Northwest. Highly recommend.

Epstein’s economic power among academics was made possible by a capitalist system that makes higher education dependent on the charity economy rather than a public good supported by taxing the rich

Jailed for refusing to abide by FDR's Exec Order 9066, he took his case against internment all the way to the Supreme Court - and lost. Remember him on Korematsu Day, January 30th. 1/
