The Farm Bill as a concept needs a complete overhaul.

The existing system has resulted in a long, slow decay of American agriculture, with export crops and gigantic corporate mega-farms taking over.

Lobbyists funded by those mega-farms keep getting it re-upped, but we need to rethink it entirely.

They need to be reminded it’s not just trump but the entire republican lead congress that has allowed this to happen. ALL REPUBLICANS ARE COMPLICIT!

bsky.app/profile/theh... oh yeah - so to clarify by "they" i mean the warhawk-media axis, not the trump admin. i don't think the latter cares at all

I feel like it's going to be harder to manufacture consent this time around but it does look like they're getting the old band back together

I watched this from my backyard tonight and it totally looked like it misfired and went off course

But since it was a "secret" launch and nobody reports on these things anymore, who would know?

But- it looked wonky

Again I will repeat: please name the 8 wars that Trump ended the parties involved in each and the exact end date. No rush. I’ll wait.

Here we go again. Regime change. But this time, not even a vote in Congress. We cannot let another president go Bush league and start an unauthorized, illegal, forever war. Congress must act to stop him.
