santa rose press democrat:

Are you trying to pull a fast one?’: Rumors of tech-backed ‘autonomy’ stir backlash to Cloverdale Esmeralda megaproject

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
Is the Network State — an online movement that uses cryptocurrency to fund self-governing micro-communities — coming to Cloverdale?
That speculation, fueled by a Nov. 12 Substack post by the account The Nerd Reich, became a flashpoint Wednesday night during a joint meeting of the Cloverdale City Council and Planning Commission. The groups gathered for a presentation from the Esmeralda Land Co. about its proposal to redevelop the long-stalled Alexander Valley Resort site.
Esmeralda, a Bay Area-based developer founded by Devon Zuegel, wants to transform the 266-acre property on Cloverdale’s south end into a new mixed-use neighborhood with homes, public parkland, restaurants, retail space, multiple hotels, and a conference and event center. Zuegel said the plan scales back what has been approved on the site for the past two decades and adds a public park that would be gifted to the city.

BREAKING The President of California’s largest union has been detained during an ICE raid.
SEIU California President David Huerta Injured, Detained at ICE
Raid in Los Angeles
Los Angeles - David Huerta, President of SEIU California and SEIU- United Service Workers West was injured and detained at an ICE raid in Los Angeles today while exercising his First Amendment right to observe and document law enforcement activity.
Tia Orr, Executive Director of SEIU California, made the following statement:
"SEIU California members call for the immediate release of our President, David Huerta, who was injured and detained at the site of one of today's ICE raids in Los Angeles. He is now receiving medical attention while in custody.
"We are proud of President Huerta's righteous participation as a community observer, in keeping with his long history of advocating for immigrant workers and with the highest values of our movement: standing up to injustice, regardless of personal risk or the power of those perpetrating it.
"We call for an end to the cruel, destructive, and indiscriminate ICE raids that are tearing apart our communities, disrupting our economy, and hurting all working people. Immigrant workers are essential to our society: feeding our nation, caring for our elders, cleaning our workplaces, and building our homes."
