DoomsdaysCWState by State Pending and recently passed <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AntiProtestLaws" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AntiProtestLaws</a>: <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WestVirginia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WestVirginia</a> - Part 2 HB 3135: New penalties for <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/protesters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#protesters</a> who block <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/streets" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#streets</a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/sidewalks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sidewalks</a>Would create new penalties for protesters who block streets, sidewalks, and other public passageways. Under the bill, someone who obstructs a highway, street, sidewalk or “other place used for the passage of persons, vehicles, or conveyances,” whether alone or with others, commits a misdemeanor, punishable by at least $500 and one month in jail. A second or subsequent offense would be a felony, punishable by at least $1,000 and at least three months and up to three years in prison. The bill defines “obstruct” to include conduct that makes passage “unreasonably inconvenient.” As such, protesters on a sidewalk who were deemed to have made it “unreasonably inconvenient” for pedestrians to pass could face jail terms. A substantially similar bill was introduced as HB 5446 in 2024.Full bill text: <a href="https://www.wvlegislature.gov/Bill_Status/bills_history.cfm?INPUT=3135&year=2025&sessiontype=RS" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.wvlegislature.gov/Bill_Status/bills_history.cfm?INPUT=3135&year=2025&sessiontype=RS</a>Status: pendingIntroduced 4 Mar 2025.Issue(s): Traffic Interference HB 2757: Potential "<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/terrorism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#terrorism</a>" charges for <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NonviolentProtesters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NonviolentProtesters</a>Would create several new, sweeping “terrorism” offenses that could cover nonviolent protesters. One new offense, “terrorist violent <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MassAction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MassAction</a>,” is defined to include “violent protests” and “riots” that “appear intended” to coerce or intimidate groups, governments, or societies. The bill provides that participation in a “terrorist violent mass action” constitutes an “terrorist act,” and any entity that uses such actions “to advance its agenda” is a “terrorist group.” “Violent protest” is not defined in the bill or elsewhere in the law, nor does the bill require that a person individually commit any act of violence or property damage to be culpable of “terrorist violent mass action.” As such, someone who peacefully participates in a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/nonviolent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nonviolent</a> but <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/rowdy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rowdy</a> protest where a few individuals commit <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PropertyDamage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PropertyDamage</a> could conceivably face “terrorism” charges. Likewise, a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NonprofitGroup" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NonprofitGroup</a> involved in organizing or supporting such a protest “to advance its agenda” could be deemed a “<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TerroristOrganization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TerroristOrganization</a>” under the bill. Individuals and organizations not directly involved in such a protest could also face felony “terrorism” charges for providing protesters with “material support”—broadly defined by the bill as “any property, tangible or intangible, or service.” The bill also creates a new felony “terrorism” offense for “actions… taken for political reasons to bar other persons from exercising their freedom of movement, via foot or any other conveyance.” As written, that could cover a large, peaceful march that even temporarily stops traffic. Meanwhile, the bill provides complete immunity for people who “injure perpetrators or supporters of perpetrators” while attempting to “escape” such “terrorism.” This provision would seem to eliminate consequences for acts of violence against protesters by people whose movement has been blocked by a protest, including drivers who hit protesters with their cars. The bill also creates new felony “threatening terrorism” offenses for a person or group that "for political reasons blockades property containing critical infrastructure,” or that “trespasses for political reasons onto property containing critical infrastructure.” As such, nonviolent protesters who block a road to a pipeline or enter onto pipeline property could face “threatening terrorism” charges, punishable by up to 10 years in prison. A nearly identical bill was proposed in 2024 (HB 4994) and 2023 (HB 2916).

Chuck DarwinThe rise of the bee rustlers;Every year, the bloom of thousands of almond trees in California spurs one of the world’s largest, albeit artificial, migrations of animals; as billions of <a href="https://c.im/tags/honeybees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#honeybees</a> are loaded onto trucks and sent to deliver lucrative pollination fees for their human keepers. This insect odyssey ensures paydays for often struggling beekeepers, the production of most of the world’s almonds, and increasingly, an opportunity for enterprising thieves.Standing in the way of the bee rustlers — often alone — is <a href="https://c.im/tags/Rowdy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Rowdy</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Freeman" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Freeman</a>, a deputy at the Butte County Sheriff’s Office in California’s Central Valley. Freeman is a steely sort of bee detective. Angular, with a shaved head and fond of wearing wrap-around sunglasses, the taciturn deputy is a beekeeper himself and is aghast at how hive thefts have become so ubiquitous.Last year, according to Freeman calculations, a record of more than 🔸2,300 honeybee hives were stolen in the Central Valley🔸. This year’s thefts could easily surpass that number, with Freeman recording nearly 2,000 hives stolen already. Despite the growing scale of this crime, Freeman is typically the only law enforcement officer working with beekeepers to track the stolen hives and their thieves.“I’m trying to get more help for this because it’s become a major problem, it’s getting out of control,” Freeman said. While California has state branches devoted to stamping out the theft of <a href="https://c.im/tags/horses" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#horses</a> or <a href="https://c.im/tags/cattle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cattle</a>, no such task force exists for bees, he notes with no small amount of envy and frustration. The federal government is also uninterested in the issue, despite what Freeman describes as clear-cut evidence that stolen hives have been transported over state lines <a href="https://mastodon.ie/@thebeeguy" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@thebeeguy</a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/@ai6yr" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@ai6yr</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/@firephoto" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@firephoto</a><a href="https://www.noemamag.com/the-rise-of-the-bee-bandits" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.noemamag.com/the-rise-of-the-bee-bandits</a>
