Lots of great coverage for today's FARMER DAY of ACTION in Augusta, Maine.
It's wonderful to see a wide variety of media starting to cover resistance events more in depth.

Large cardboard sign that reads: TO GROW YOUR FOOD FARMERS NEED: - Fully Staffed USDA, NOAA, EPA! - A STABLE Economy! - Communities where access to local food is NOT an economic privilege!!
Large bright red farm tractor with enclosed cab, with signs that read "WEED OUT the FASCISTS"
