"...Photographers for the War Relocation Authority were on hand as they were forced to leave their houses, shops, farms, fishing boats. For months they stayed at “assembly centers,” living in racetrack barns or on fairgrounds. Then they were shipped to ten “relocation centers,” primitive camps built in the remote landscapes of the interior West and Arkansas. The regime was penal: armed guards, barbed wire, roll call. Years later, internees would recollect the cold, the heat, the wind, the dust—and the isolation...."

Woody Guthrie

"The crops are all in and the peaches are rott'ning,
The oranges piled in their creosote dumps;
They're flying 'em back to the Mexican border
To pay all their money to wade back again

Goodbye to my Juan, goodbye, Rosalita,
Adios mis amigos, Jesus y Maria;
You won't have your names when you ride the big airplane,
All they will call you will be "deportees"

...

Is this the best way we can grow our big orchards?
Is this the best way we can grow our good fruit?
To fall like dry leaves to rot on my topsoil
And be called by no name except "deportees"?"

Xerces Southern California Residential Habitat Kits (FREE, San Diego County)

"Southern California is home to unique flora and fauna, including thousands of endemic species. Unfortunately, many of our beneficial pollinator populations are declining in California, including bees and butterflies. The population of western monarch butterflies has declined by 95% since the 1980s. Eight of California’s 25 bumble bee species, including Crotch’s bumble bee (Bombus crotchii), are at risk. Reasons include habitat loss, pesticide use, and climate change. But there is a way you can help!

If interested, you could collaborate with the Xerces Society Society. The Southern California Habitat Kit Program serves to provide transplants of native, pollinator-friendly species to residents in Southern California. You just have to commit to planting the kit and caring for it. With that, you will contribute to creating habitat for our native pollinator species by introducing flowering plants into your garden."

Boy, there are a lot of patients in senior care homes with Alzheimer's or who are entirely bedbound, etc. whose families spent down their entire net worth to qualify for Medicaid (or do not have family), who are going to be penniless and with no place to go. Are we just going to push their beds out into the street and watch them die?
