#CattleWrecked #BigAg, #ViolentRanchers and #CorruptPoliticians: $572,700 for the initiative for 2023.

What do #BigAg, #ViolentRanchers, and their#CorruptPoliticians have in common? Billions in federal $subsidies to #WasteWater with export free-trade ready #ThirstyCrops during #droughts, polluted #drinking water supplies with farm #chemicals, destroyed #habitat for rare species, #PesticideDrift, #deadzones from runoff, #ICE to #criminalize and exploit #farmworkers, 34M #foodinsecure Americans, and dammed and destroyed rivers.

The Pataxó people face intense conflicts with local ranchers who’ve invaded their land as #BigAg colluded with the #Corrupt government elected out last month.
