They want the land. They don't give a hoot about the farmers. That should have been apparent after the LAST time in 2020. Bunch of fooled fools.

Both. I buy seeds in advance, then plant as I can with the weather determining how much I can get done. Sometimes I have to buy plants too, when it's too windy for seedlings.

I've been calling for a General Strike for years. But it will have to come from We the People because the unions are too few and not organized well enough. GENERAL STRIKE from the day before Thanksgiving until aftrr New Years! Prepare now.

Next he'll have an *accidental fire* in the main White House and have to destroy it to put some fascist tower in it's place.

This is visual confirmation of what we all know- we are everywhere and we are the majority. #Topeka is in here! What an uplifting experience to be with all the people fighting for democracy and decency.

Tomorrow.👇👇👇

Indivisible ❌👑 @indivisible.org · 2d

So what’s next? Tomorrow’s mass call of movement leaders and activists is all about that. Our pro-democracy movement is surging, and it’s up to each of us to channel this incredible energy into the organizing power it will take to win. Let’s get to work: www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

Since we are being forced into mutual aid, i say we withhold our labor. General Strike starting November 1st and don't even think about going back until after New Years.

#Topeka #KS on 10/18/25, #NoKings
This was the biggest march this year in Topeka! Totally peaceful. Great turnout, good vibes and great job #KS50501 #50501KS #Indivisible

Kansas Statehouse before No Kings March begins 10/18/25. Many people, many signs. Up on steps is a band, andca lot of different characters in blow-up costumes.

The best weather and the best people made for a wonderful #NoKings gathering in #Topeka #KS today. 10/18/25 "No hate, no fear, immigrants are welcome here!" and "This is what democracy looks like!" were crowd favs. More people than ever before. #50501KS

Lady with sign that says "Free balls for members of Congress who have lost theirs". There are little brown balls attached to the sign.

Kansas Statehouse with the whole south steps filled with folks with signs.

Guy with a cutout of John Brown holding a Kansas state flag and a sign that says "Abolish ICE".

Lots of folks around the south steps of the Kansas Statehouse.

So now if we just do this again right before Thanksgiving and decide not to go back to work till after New Years, we will have made a commitment and a decision. And it will work. LFG!!!

After a week of ridiculous Republican smears and Trump claiming that “very few people are going to be there,” you just made history. #NoKings

Up early to drive to my hometown of Lexington MA (where the first No Kings day was arguably held in 1775). If you don't know where it's happening near you, here's the guide.
