They knew that Rumeysa Ozturk had done nothing wrong. They sent masked men to grab and detain her anyway.
They knew Abrego Garcia had a protection order from deportation. They sent him to a foreign jail anyway.
They know the Supreme Court has told them that Abrego Garcia must be returned. They don’t care.
There is no debate any more. This president is a direct threat to the Constitution of the United States.

This other paper by Eric Toensmeier that lists out perennial vegetables that could address defeciencies in traditional malnutrition and in the industrial diet is really worth reading. Tldr is that you should be growing Moringa if you can and Chinese Toon/Mahogany where Moringa isn’t suitable.
I plug edible oaks whenever I can and I think not nearly enough people have seen this paper by Eric Toensmeier on edible oak varieities in the United States!
