You don't know if they are growing that food for others, for a food bank, for a holiday meal.
It's anti-community to assume you are entitled to the food someone is growing. CONSENT. Plus PDXers post on Buy Nothing and put signs in their yard to share. We are generous. Give us the chance to be so.

A client's garden that I planted was posted on Insta by someone who felt they could take fruit w/o permission. He defended his choice and has apparently been sharing the location of the garden with others so they can also take fruit. The entitlement + lack of consent is concerning.

The last few hours have proven 2 terrible things. First, the US and Russian governments are so close that the US government takes large parts of Russian proposals and passes them off as their own, and second that some people are so desperate to exonerate Trump that they act like this a good thing.

Congress wrote into the law that someone who overstays a visa while applying for asylum is not considered to be accruing “unlawful presence,” but it didn’t explicitly say those people couldn’t be arrested and detained — because it was presumed that they wouldn’t be. Well, Trump is doing it.
We came to LA as refugees from the USSR in 1991. Life wasn’t easy, but we persevered and, I dare say, came to contribute something of worth to this nation.
