  1. Pieces Without a Puzzle

    The season is changing. I feel the press of autumn on the threshold of my world. Summer is lingering, and will linger for a while yet. I can appreciate that, but I am glad for the fall. From a poem by Wendell Berry: "When I fall let me fall without regret like a leaf." His name can be spelled as Amsunteygralt or Amsonteygralt. We can call him the demalion of rabbits, by which we mean he is the demalion of a wild animal, because, like cats and ducks, no rabbit1 is domesticated to the […]

    Autumn brings the season of masks—not just for rituals, but the ones we wear daily: for work, for the feed, for "authenticity." The costume parties echo our constant effort to look whole while hiding what hurts. Yet, the mask holds an ancient power: it is an engine of transformation...

  16. State by State Pending and recently passed #AntiProtestLaws: #NorthDakota

    SB 2044: Heightened penalties for #protests near #CriticalInfrastructure

    Enhances potential penalties for individuals who protest near existing and planned gas and oil #pipelines by criminalizing acts that interrupt or interfere with critical infrastructure facilities. In addition to prohibiting actual tampering with critical infrastructure property and equipment, the law prohibits "interfering, inhibiting, impeding, or preventing the construction or repair" of a critical infrastructure facility. Further, the law expands the definition of "critical infrastructure facility" to include a "site or location designated or approved for the construction of a facility" such as an oil or gas pipeline. Intentional interruption of a critical infrastructure facility, including by interfering with pipeline construction, is a Class C felony under the law, subject to a penalty of five years' imprisonment, a fine of $10,000, or both. The law also creates organizational liability for such acts: An organization found to have "conspired" with an individual who committed the interference could be criminally liable for ten times the fee imposed on the individual, or up to $100,000.

    Status: enacted

    Introduced 3 Jan 2019; Approved by Senate 15 Feb 2019; Approved by House 25 March 2019; Signed by Governor Burgum 10 April 2019

    Issue(s): Protest Supporters or Funders, Infrastructure

    HB 1426: Heightened penalties for #riot offences

    Increases the penalties imposed for riot offenses. Under the law, participation in a riot is a Class A rather than Class B misdemeanor, punishable by up to one year in prison and a $3,000 fine. Engaging in a riot involving more than 100 people is made a Class B felony, subject to 10 years in prison and a $20,000 fine.

    Status: enacted

    Introduced 16 Jan 2017; Governor Burgum signed the law on 23 Feb 2017

    Issue(s): Riot

    HB 1293: Expanded scope of criminal trespass

    Expands the scope of criminal trespass activity under state law such that it could encompass protests, demonstrations, or other gatherings on private property, if notice against trespass is "clear from the circumstances." The offense could be punishable by up to 30 days in jail and a $1,500 fine. The law also creates an additional, noncriminal trespass offense and allows officers to issue a citation with a $250 fine for trespassing. The law was part of a package of legislation introduced in response to the #DakotaAccessPipeline protests.

    Issue(s): Trespass

    HB 1304: New penalties for protesters who conceal their identity

    Prohibits the wearing of #masks, #hoods, or other device that "conceals any portion" of an individual's face while committing a criminal offense, in order to avoid recognition or identification. As drafted, the offense could encompass, e.g., individuals wearing hooded clothing while participating in a protest and also committing a minor offense such as jaywalking. Under the law, commission of the offense comprises a Class A misdemeanor, punishable by up to one year in jail and a $3,000 fine.

    Issue(s): Face Covering

    HB 1226: New criminal penalties for masked protesters

    Would create a new criminal offense that could cover peaceful protesters who choose to wear a mask. The bill would make it a Class A misdemeanor, punishable by up to one year in jail and $3,000, to wear a mask “with intent to conceal the identity” of the wearer while “congregating in a public place with any other individual wearing a mask, hood, or other device that covers, hides, or conceals any portion of the individual’s face.” The bill exempts public gatherings to celebrate “Halloween, a masquerade, or other similar celebration,” but does not include exemptions for masks worn during protests, or for health, religious, or other reasons. As written, the bill could cover a protester wearing a mask to avoid retaliation for their political speech, if there were any other individual in the crowd also wearing a mask—for instance, a medical mask to avoid spreading or contracting a contagious disease.

  17. Even though #N95s are easily available, I'm tempted to keep buying #KN95s, because if #NIOSH is anything like the #CDC, they would not care at all if people sell #masks that just let #Covid through.

  18. @Geoffberner This would not be the new norm if we were all wearing #masks, but that’s not our culture right Bonnie?!

    This bought off #TeamAccess #CDNmedia works solely for our gutless, slimy, covid defeated govt who desperately want to normalize societal sickness so people forget how government policies welcomed it all along.

    #BonnieHenry, #AdrianDicks and this #bcndp profit off continued societal sickness. It drives their greedy push for privatized #TelusHealth.

    More sickness means more money to these #corrupt government figures, simple precautions are too pricey to even consider.

    This #BCndp will soon brag about how much they saved (how little they’ve spent) protecting our ailing communities as part of their upcoming campaign.

    They will soon get re-elected despite their unrepentant callousness by using bribe money to buy expensive nonstop virtue signalling ads which will run daily on #youtube.

    This #BCndp always have $$ for campaigning but won’t ever spend a cent to educate the public out of this horror show of their making.
