I don’t know if this will work, but–
Here’s #Farmsister, in the teal hoodie and black-and-blue check flannel, at a roundtable session with the Young Farmer’s Association of the Hudson Valley, speaking with her Congressman, John Faso, about agriculture, in the lead-up to the House’s sessions where they’re going to work on a new Farm Bill.
I haven’t watched the whole thing. I just listened to her intro of herself (I panned along until I recognized her), and I plan to watch the whole thing. There wasn’t anything in the explanation of the meeting or program to explain this, but every single person in this discussion who isn’t Faso himself– i.e. all the farmers– seems to be a woman, and while there’s a chance that’s coincidence (the trend in farming is that young farmers tend to be women!), it also might have been deliberately set up that way, so that’s interesting. I’ll have to listen to it all to find out.
I’m mostly just really impressed that my sister managed to be so civil to this asshole for so long, when during all of my visits we’ve spent at least twenty minutes a week filling out postcard after postcard to send to each of his district offices telling him what a dick he’s specifically being on every specific bill he’s voted on.
OK the embedded thing is clearly not going to work, so here’s the direct link.
