Any person or entity that "recruits, trains, aids, advises, hires, counsels, or conspires with" a person who trespasses onto a “critical public service facility, utility, or pipeline” would be civilly liable for any damages committed by the trespasser under the bill. They would also be guilty of a gross misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of up to $3,000, if they fail to make a reasonable effort to prevent the violation. Additionally, the bill would make the person who trespasses onto the critical public service facility, utility, or pipeline strictly liable for civil damages. Similar provisions were introduced as SF 1493 in the 2023-2024 session. The bill would also make it a gross misdemeanor to obstruct traffic on a freeway or on a public road within airport property, with intent of obstructing or otherwise interfering with traffic. As written, the offense could cover protesters who even momentarily delayed cars on a freeway while demonstrating on the side of the freeway or on an overpass. Similar provisions were introduced as SF 1285/HF 1967 in the 2021-2022 session. <br>Full text of bill: <a href="https://www.revisor.mn.gov/bills/bill.php?b=Senate&f=SF1363&ssn=0&y=2025" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">revisor.mn.gov/bills/bill.php?</span><span class="invisible">b=Senate&f=SF1363&ssn=0&y=2025</span></a></p><p>Status: pending<br>Introduced 13 Feb 2025.<br>Issue(s): Civil Liability, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ProtestSupporters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ProtestSupporters</span></a> or Funders, Infrastructure, Traffic Interference, Trespass</p><p>HF 329 / SF 728: Heightened penalties for protesters who block traffic</p><p>Would heighten penalties for protesters who intentionally “interfere with” or “disrupt” traffic that is entering, exiting, or on a freeway or a roadway on airport property.

Under the bill, someone who intentionally “interferes with” or “obstructs” passage on any “public highway” would be civilly liable for damages and attorneys fees. Any injured person, private entity, or state or local government could bring such a lawsuit, though the bill provides that the government cannot bring both a civil suit and criminal charges for the same conduct. “Highways” in Minnesota include many two-lane roads with stop signs and stoplights. As such, protesters whose demonstration paused or delayed traffic on certain roads could face costly litigation by, for instance, a company that claimed it was “damaged” by the delay.<br>Full text of bill:<br><a href="https://www.revisor.mn.gov/bills/bill.php?b=House&f=HF367&y=2025&ssn=0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">revisor.mn.gov/bills/bill.php?</span><span class="invisible">b=House&f=HF367&y=2025&ssn=0</span></a></p><p>Status: pending<br>Introduced 13 Feb 2025.<br>Issue(s): Traffic Interference</p><p>SF 708: BARRING PUBLIC BENEFITS FOR PROTEST-RELATED OFFENSES</p><p>Would broadly disqualify a person convicted of an offense during a protest from receiving <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PublicAssistance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PublicAssistance</span></a>. Any "offense related to the person's illegal conduct at a protest, demonstration, rally, civil unrest, or march" would disqualify the person from a range of benefits, including <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FoodAssistance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FoodAssistance</span></a>, education <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/loans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>loans</span></a> and grants, and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/unemployment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>unemployment</span></a> assistance.

Tio<p><b>How you can try to fix this world, realistically.</b></p><p><i>Maybe you can start it first per tribe, then expand globally.</i></p><p><b>Goal:</b> humans should not have to trade in order to survive in this society. Since this creates a tsunami of problems for people and the rest of this planet. (<a href="https://www.tromsite.com/trombooks/#flipbook-the-origin-of-most-problems-1/1/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">source</a>)</p><p><b>Plan:</b></p><p><u>Basic needs trade-free.</u></p><p>Make the most basic needs services <a href="https://trade-free.org/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">trade-free</a>. Healthcare, transportation, shelter, basic food, access to Internet (information and communication). You can do that through taxes, through volunteers, through all sort of means. Many tribes already provide some of these as trade-free, like in Europe a lot of the healthcare systems are like that. Not difficult!</p><p><u>Basic Income.</u></p><p>Since this world still relies on trades (money), and people may have different sort of needs and definitely wants, give everyone a basic income (say 1.000 dollars a month) with no strings attached. You can do it again through taxes, via the removal of so many institutions and resources dedicated to track people and check if they are eligible for benefits, and all of the paperwork nonsense that has been created around this. No more "benefits", no more "pensions". Forget about labeling people as employed or unemployed in regards to who should be helped.</p><p><b>That is it!</b></p><p>Now you will have a bunch of humans who KNOW they are taken care of. They KNOW that if they get sick they should only worry about that health problem and not a financial problem. They KNOW that they wont starve or end up on the street. They know they are SAFE.</p><p>On top of this, with the money you give them monthly, they can have some power and focus on doing some useful things in this society. At least some will, if not many.</p><p>This can grow up over time into a saner society of humans who can refuse to work for bullshit companies, or do any bullshit jobs. A world in which humans have the time to decide what to focus on, who to "vote" for, stay informed and properly inform others.</p><p>A world where scientists or journalists should not worry about their livelihood. So they can do their "jobs" properly.</p><p>We deserve and need this world. Else there is no intelligent species on this planet.</p><p><a href="https://social.trom.tf/search?tag=capitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>capitalism</span></a> <a href="https://social.trom.tf/search?tag=TradeRuinsEverything" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TradeRuinsEverything</span></a> <a href="https://social.trom.tf/search?tag=money" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>money</span></a> <a href="https://social.trom.tf/search?tag=society" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>society</span></a> <a href="https://social.trom.tf/search?tag=ubi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ubi</span></a> <a href="https://social.trom.tf/search?tag=basicincome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>basicincome</span></a> <a href="https://social.trom.tf/search?tag=world" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>world</span></a> <a href="https://social.trom.tf/search?tag=work" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>work</span></a> <a href="https://social.trom.tf/search?tag=unemployment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>unemployment</span></a></p>

Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"For many of the Gen X-ers who embarked on creative careers in the years after the novel was published, lessness has come to define their professional lives.</p><p>If you entered media or image-making in the ’90s — magazine publishing, newspaper journalism, photography, graphic design, advertising, music, film, TV — there’s a good chance that you are now doing something else for work.
