The Trump administration has announced 25% tariffs on most Canadian 🇨🇦& Mexican 🇲🇽 imports. This represents a shock to North American agricultural trade, and will have significant impacts on the US produce sector 🍎🥑🥬, including increases in consumer prices (1/10)

The US will remove its own inspectors from Mexico tasked with inspecting avocados produced in 🇲🇽 exported to 🇺🇸. What are the potential implications for Mexico, as well as California, where the majority of US avocados 🥑 are grown?

Are avocado 🥑 imports from Mexico 🇲🇽 fueling deforestation in the country? In this month’s issue of ARE Update @GianniniFnd, we (@magerton and Julia Mezentseva @UCDavisARE) investigate this issue.

Many people have asked for my thoughts on the recent US import "ban" on avocados from Mexico. Here's my (speculative) perspective. In short, I doubt it will affect 🇺🇸 producers or consumers much—if it's short. Longer pauses could ⬆️ prices by ~ 35%.

what, for you, is the piece of media that is most emblematic of 'the before times'? for me it is master of none

It's the clearest day California has had in weeks and the views are amazing.

A deep snowpack, green hills, and beautifully gushing rivers.

@googlemaps and @transitapp both seem to think the 51a doesn’t exist any more? I can guarantee it does!! Good thing AC Transit has real time on their website 🙌🏻

for a few months I've had a habit of starting each day dancing/shaking to one song and it really I mean REALLY makes a difference. something about shaking out the sleep and getting a little heart rate going!

By March 5, vote twice for Barbara Lee for US Senate—once in the primary election and again in the special election!

I am the only candidate calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. My opponents are not.

In the Senate, I will fight for political and diplomatic solutions—our only path to lasting global peace and security.

S/o to all the woman who have realized it's better to be alone than with someone shitty. Valentine's day is actually a day of congratulations

[Alexandra @AlexandraArjo]

just in case someone needs to hear it: it’s okay to go back to using high-quality masks & avoiding indoor spaces during a surge (like right now)!! It doesn’t mean we’re going back to 2020, it’s acknowledging the ebb/flow & how we can protect ourselves and our community

@kelsaywhat as someone who bases a large portion of their reading list of your recommendations...please!

420-1.

I was the only person to vote against the invasion of Afghanistan 22 years ago today.

I was seen as a radical. I was slandered as unpatriotic. I received death threats.

But I stood my ground. Because I will always do what's right—even if I have to do it alone.
