I’m outraged about it every time it happens and act on it. Lots of friends, friends of friends and people I’ve never met have been spied on, persecuted, snitched out and sent to jail for radical politics and action. U.S. history is full of examples of the federal gov’t conducting a secret war on it’s citizens.

The government’s actions against Tim are not single events. Unfortunately it’s the norm if you take a hard stand against gov’t and corporate policy and action.

We can be all blase about it, or we could treat it like the outrage it is. These are good resources to follow, but we do have the ability to impact these decisions.

My 2 cents,
Richard

It’s really a wake up call for those of us seeking real change, not just reform and working within a corrupt failed system.

Tim’s action was totally effective in monkey-wrenching those leases. That’s why our new Administration is fucking with him. The more effective action we employ, the more they will raise the stakes. (After all, they are charging animal rights kids under anti-terror laws for passing out fliers and chalking on sidewalks.)

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

you can be a murder or a rapist and get shorter sentences than someone who bids in an auction with no money in defense of the environment.
Profit over people as usual.
