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.

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.

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