One thing is clear: ICE has no idea what WTF they're doing. There is no plan or strategy beyond racist thuggery. Which means it's very easy for us to dissuade them. Let's make North Carolina a huge pain in Trump's ass, y'all.

So I’ve been enjoying Matthew Ingram’s book “The Garden” this past month, month and a half, and have generally gotten quite a lot out of his tour of “visionary growers and farmers of the counterculture.” I have to say that his chapter on “Black Farmers” is just garbage, though.

It feels tacked on, to start with – dutiful, tucked in just before the end, one might almost say segregated. Surreally, with maximum cringe, it namechecks a small number of *individual Black participants* in

Credit where credit is due: he does identify that the #CSA as we know it was largely devised by Booker T. Whately at Tuskegee, where the trash garbage Wikipedia article on CSAs erases this completely. I wish he’d pushed further into the history of Black land-tenure strategies in Reconstruction, though, which would have turned up the origins of the community land trust ( #CLT). A whole chapter on Black farming in the United States that neglects that story feels radically incomplete. (*Hip-hop*?)
