very much the same battle is playing out here in Maine, and my fam is one of many in the middle of it.
The locals have even given it the name: "rural cleansing" as well as many players in the game. They range from poor whites, native peoples, displaced poc families like my own, Radical white anarchist Greenpeace types, Earth First! skullthumpers, Monsanto, and liberals in Southern Maine.
Forcing rural people out of our land is becoming more and more common among the conservation types, and, honestly, it's hard to tell the difference between them and the corporations that pollute our planet.
