Our February 18 picks are about alignment and agency: aligning with national farm agendas, aligning your value with the right teams, and asserting agency over stress, travel, money, privacy, and even digital dissent. Around that, it moves from cocoa trees and farmers’ associations to Gaza aid closures, Trump court updates, and Rooney–Salah drama, all under a steady reminder that the heart is not up for public auction.
