Historic day: Jewel Bronaugh (⁦@VaAgComm)⁩ testified before Senate Ag. If confirmed, Bronaugh would be first Black woman and first woman of color to serve as deputy secretary of USDA since ⁩Abraham Lincoln founded the dept in 1862.

I feel like everyone I talk to these days is just DONE. Like, we're so done we can't even keep up the pretense that everything is ok.

We need a food system that conserves and restores nature while ensuring there is enough to feed current and future generations, nutritiously. A ā€˜Planet-Based Diet’ is high in human health benefits and low in environmental impacts. wwf.to/36K9xoZ

This is pure evil. Trump is failing to reunite families that he ripped apart—and in some cases even forcing parents to PAY TO SEE THEIR KIDS. We’re talking about moms and dads whose kids were sent away to camps. REMEMBER THIS WHEN YOU VOTE IN NOVEMBER. gq.com/story/immigration-dna…

This isn’t over. Thousands of kids have been ripped from their parents with no plan to reunite them. And now @realdonaldtrump wants to create new detention camps for families. Separating kids is unacceptable – but indefinite imprisonment of families is still cruel & inhumane.

Do you eat food? Then you can help fight climate change by wasting less of it. Food loss and waste contributes billions of tons of greenhouse gases each year. Learn more at worldwildlife.org/land #foodwaste #GCAS2018 #StepUp2018
There is no viable global solution to the climate crisis without improving the ways we use land. wwf.to/2MhfnBI
