Trump is defying court orders and abusing wartime powers to deport people with no due process. He's using the law that put Italian, German, and Japanese immigrants in detention camps during World War II. We are not at war. Donald Trump is not a king. He is not above the law.

This is how our government has been corrupted:  1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office.  2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor.  3) Donors make a huge profit.  4) Repeat. For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.

Can we get 500 retweets as soon as possible on this incredible new ad highlighting how dangerous Donald Trump is for this country through the eyes of those not yet old enough to vote

The reports offer a thorough examination of each country's land policies and governance structures, with a special focus on their impact on the rights of peasants, women, and the broader aspect of food sovereignty. This deep dive into land policies is pivotal in understanding and advocating for equitable and sustainable land use and rights, marking a crucial step in AFSA's ongoing efforts to champion land sovereignty in the African context.

Me in Kabul, at Bost Restaurant. It was woman-owned (@MaryAkrami), with 100% female staff. This was a few months before the Taliban takeover. Behind me are images of legendary Afghan women. We smiled then - excited about the future. Afghan women were unstoppable. Still are.

"Women stand as the cornerstone of Africa's Food Systems, spearheading initiatives in land cultivation, crop production, and guaranteeing a diverse and balanced diet drawn directly from their harvests. " - @RuthNabaggala from @Afsafrica #WomeninAgroecologyXpoUg2023

#rfsiforum23 great farmer panel - In regenerative agriculture, you must earn more money than other farmers to change the system - “the farmers are being farmed.”
