Some people consider what Rojava was as anarchist or at least anarchist-adjacent and considered it one of the closest models to what a large anarchist society could look like (it was recently dissolved by force by the new Syrian government). It had ~4 million people. The Zapatista territories consist of ~300k people and controls roughly half of the state of Chiapas (larger than some small countries).

    Disagree. He became one of Trump's biggest defenders; even defending the capital attack, and spreading The Big Lie. Before Trump got elected the first time, Trump basically called Cruz's wife ugly, and Cruz basically told voters not to vote for Trump because he is immoral. Cruz is likely just trying to position himself for a 2028 presidential run, or being bribed by ABC or whatever.

    According to some polls, abolishing ICE is a majority position. Some of the most popular politicians support abolishing ICE. If more genuine politicians campaigned on it, offered good concrete policies, and communicated it well, I'd bet the sentiment would be even more widespread. I believe defunding the police could also become a majority position if that was done as well. Politicians have a great influence on public opinion.

    While in college, you can network to get roles that may be tangential or completely unrelated to your degree. Can also minor in something else or dual-major. I've worked with software engineers that majored in physics/aerospace, electrical engineering, philosophy, and one person who didn't even go to college at all. I've also seen software engineering majors that got jobs in sales, business, and one who decided to quit the industry and run a nail salon.

    Inter-planting instead of nice tidy rows seems to help a bit. At least where I live, caterpillars will start devouring tomato plants. When I start noticing eaten leaves, I just find the (usually huge) caterpillar and throw it far away for the birds or whatever.
