America’s Young Farmers Are Burning Out. I Quit, Too
"Getting young people into farming may not be the problem. Keeping them on the farm may be the hardest part."

As someone who’s interviewed many small farmers in California, I expect to see more cases of burnout for these farmers from crisis after crisis hits. I [can only] hope that academics and stakeholders can overcome these obstacles in food systems.

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.
