#Uyghur #China Jewher Ilham is a Uyghur Muslim who fled China after her father was arrested at the airport as they were heading to Indiana University for a visiting professor engagement. Soon after, he was sentenced to life in prison for being a political dissident. He told his daughter to continue on to the United States for a new life, that he'd rather she "sweep streets in the United States than stay in China". Ilham is now living in the United States and working on a documentary about the Chinese government forcing Uyghurs into detainment camps where they are tortured and used for forced labor. The camps have been described as re-education camps and the Chinese government claims they're addressing extremism. Ilham says their claims are false. She does not know if she will ever see her father again.
This federal law is a great example of regulatory agency capture by big industry. It must be amended for the future of our neighborhoods or we will see cell towers everywhere. My county commission cannot vote down this proposed cell phone tower on my neighbor’s land based on health or environmental reasons or they’ll get sued due to the protections afforded in this act.
Our neighbor is planning to put up a cell tower on his property. I am sure almost everyone here is well-versed in the dangers associated with radiation emitted from these towers, especially for kids. However it’s complicated to stop their construction as these cellular companies have near-criminal protections from the federal government. You can’t vote down a tower as a local governing body based on ANY health or environmental risks. I am asking for help from people who have tried to stop these towers, whether successfully or unsuccessfully. I’d like to know what you learned so I can move forward strategically to save our farm. Please email me at: [email protected] or leave a link in the comments below. I figured my news days were behind me, now focused on a simple farm life, but this story found me. Let’s go.
We got a trailer (finally thanks to a generous Christmas gift from my parents) after 3 years without one since selling ours to move from Washington to Florida. You may recognize our special guest leading Sassy onto it for the first time. It was also his first time ever leading a horse, so kind of the blind leading the blind. Anyway all went well and now Lily is practicing with Sassy. We are so excited to finally have a trailer for emergencies - and rodeos! Don’t forget to buy your cod liver/butter oil to support your immune system for all of your family adventures!
