Dear friends. I have decided to leave Twitter X. I am disgusted by the pro Israeli and extreme right wing stance that Elon Musk has decided very openly to adopt. He is not capable of, or able to maintain the neutrality that any great leader whether in business, politically, or in kingship must possess and abide by. In short, he is an immoral man who has failed to adopt the free and open global network that the internet was designed to promote. In fact, he has shown the world how greed, megalomania, and the worst of capitalist ideals perverts the better path and future each of us deserves and are working towards. Please, send this far and wide, leave the network as well and make a clear statement of truth, independence and the right for free speech with me. Let’s act together and now. This is not just about Musk, it is about all authoritarian leaders with malign agendas worldwide. Thank you and good night. Jonathan Tod 🌹🌹🌹

I think what she is trying to say is “there are more incompetent ministers than her in the cabinet”
Gillian Keegan focusing on the important stuff: her own grievances & grandiosity.

Simply address the cause of desertification - explained in this TED Talk bit.ly/1gm0HIZ and also in this short talk at COP26 youtube.com/watch?v=Pu1ZxG-j… The USDA has known about all this since 1983 when far-sighted people in the old Soil Conservation Service commissioned me to train 2,000 fellow scientists who helped me develop a way to solve the problem.

It is not.

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT Got your attention? Good We’ve decided that what we’re doing now is uneconomical. In a time of economic turmoil & wage stagnation. My only option is to sell my stock at the end of this year, go freelance farm contracting, & work as many hours as I can

Consumers of the industrial food system pay their food bill 3 times: 1st at the checkout, 2nd in taxes that subsidize commodity crop production, and 3rd in medical costs related to the consequences of industrial commodity-based agriculture.

An awesome thread
The essential role soil microorganisms play in agricultural has been documented since at least the 1800s In the last 200 years, we’ve made little progress in our understanding and practical application of soil life to farming systems That is until about ten years ago…

So many bodies under the bus it will soon grind to a halt

Australian's are still celebrating what is one of the most generous trade deals every, for us. British farmers got thrown under the Brexit bus. But because Liz Truss said it was great no one said a thing. Not one world of criticism. Amazing.
