NEW: The USDA acknowledged that over the weekend, it accidentally fired "several" agency employees who are working on the federal government's response to the H5N1 avian flu outbreak. The agency adds it is trying to quickly reverse the firings.

Farmers who actually read Project 2025’s Ag section are NOT shocked to see that NRCS is notifying folks they cannot fulfill contracts due to funding freezes. It was all in there, it’s not a mistake just cuz it affects you.The 30% of us farmers who didn’t vote for Trump have been trying to tell ya!

"We cannot simply use "community" as a marketing term- a feel good slogan for selling our products. We as Locavores, as farmers and producers, must show up for our communities even when it doesn't directly benefit us." substack.com/home/post/p-...

Farmer’s in the west are already facing a rough growing season ahead due to the mild winter we’ve had. Trump just wasted water that folks will need for their crops in July and August. No water, no food. Add deportation of ag labor and tariffs and this is going to be BAD sjvwater.org/trumps-emerg...

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare. Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.” We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽

Trump said he wants to “clean out” Gaza and push the millions of Palestinians living there into neighboring countries. There is a name for this — ethnic cleansing — and it’s a war crime. This outrageous idea should be condemned by every American. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Welp…. can’t say I didn’t see that one coming…

Devotees of Mt. Bachelor in Bend, Oregon, are on a quest to raise about $200 million to rescue the ski area — and their way of life — from the corporate titans of a consolidating industry.

With their nomination hearings completed, Brooke Rollins and Lee Zeldin will likely be confirmed soon. Their leadership will deeply impact the American food system. @lisaelaineh.bsky.social details the two nominees’ backgrounds and what their hearings revealed. ⬇️

AOC: "I want folks at home to look at what members of Congress are invested in private prisons companies, and look at the votes on this bill. It is atrocious that people are lining their pockets with private prison profits in the name of a horrific tragedy."

The Little Free book idea has spread to other community-sharing opportunities, like a Little Free bakery, a crop of Little Free seed libraries, and much more. “To me, the seed library is part of food security. It’s like having money in the bank, but it’s seeds in the library.”

And there it is. Scam and grift revealed. Watch who gets rich off this. Interested also to see how legacy media covers this, which has been putrid so far.
