#TimeMagazine #Election2020 #ShadowCampaign TIME recently published an article titled, "The Secret History of the Shadow Campaign That Saved the 2020 Election".

We must go direct with farmers who use the kind of methods we want for our dinner. Even if we ban glyphosate, there are plenty of worse (yes, hard to believe!) chemicals waiting to take its place. There is no way out ...
