While many in agriculture have made substantial contributions, it's challenging to argue there is anyone who's contributed more than Borlaug. Some estimates identify the Green Revolution as saving 1 billion lives. The Green Revolution was certainly the #1 20th century innovation.

'Take it to the farmer' wasn’t just a phrase but a way of life. Today, 112 years after his birth, we celebrate Norman Borlaug's legacy of taking science out of the lab and into the fields, where it truly changes lives. 🌾

Our food system depends on it. RFK Jr.’s followers hate it—and it has been linked to cancer. slate.trib.al/3EthJcP

@tomphilpott @CamiDRyan @stuartsmyth66 The roots lay in corruption and economic mismanagement but the tools they used to try and solve: banning fertilizers to balance their payments etc were the wrong ones and exacerbated the crisis

Sri Lanka’s leap—banning every pesticide overnight—turned from eco‑dream to agri‑nightmare, with crops failing and protests blooming. A cautionary tale for anyone (yes, MAHA included) who thinks you can weed out pesticides without sowing bigger problems. global-agriculture.com/global-agricul…

One thing is clear - @realDonaldTrump is absolutely right that we need Greenland. NATO members aren’t all with us on Iran. We need Greenland for U.S. national security purposes as soon as possible.

@ACSHorg The number of people who have no idea what is the function of glyphosate and embarrass themselves with dumb comments and outrage …

Every member in the U.S. Senate agrees we cannot allow Iran to acquire a nuclear weapon. I’m baffled why so many are unwilling to support the only action to achieve that. Empty sloganeering vs. commitment to global security — which is it?

@olivierglinec @GlyphosateGirl what do you think is the purpose of using glyphosate? without it there will be greater crop loss, smaller harvests and higher food prices. So do you have a fix for all of that or does hunger and food security mean nothing wile pursuing the grift?

@GlyphosateGirl What's even more stupid is that glyphosate proponents should really question its reckless use, which inevitably leads to an increase in glyphosate-resistant plants.

That's right! We need to ban the use of glyphosate, paraquat, and diquat for pre-harvest desiccation. Note it needs to be all synthetic desiccants or else one will just be swapped for another.
Tom Renz@RenzTom

“It’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.” And honestly… it’s hard to argue with that reaction. Get your Toxic Binder: Sponsor 👉 globalhealing.com/pages/tom-renz In the U.S., glyphosate isn’t just used to kill weeds. It’s also used as a desiccant—sprayed on crops like wheat, beans, and sugarcane right before harvest to dry them out faster. Let that sink in. That means an extra round of spraying right before those crops become: • Your bread • Your pasta • Your cereal • Your beans • Your sugar Speed and efficiency for harvest. But what about long-term exposure for people? If you’re not choosing organic for high-spray crops like wheat, beans, and sugarcane, you’re likely increasing your glyphosate exposure. And when it comes to processed sugar—it’s already inflammatory enough. Add residues on top of that, and it’s just insult to injury. Sometimes you step back and think… How did this become normal?

@BasedMikeLee @elonmusk Its not about how long they were in that place, its about whether that land was then colonized and they were forced out of their lands and are living in subjugation, so if that happened to your people, then they can be described as "indigenous".

If one is to use the term “First Nations” or “Indigenous Peoples” or “Native Americans” in the Americas and Antipodes, then, in fairness, it should also apply to English, French, Spanish and other such peoples in Europe

@mattyglesias The way it is being deployed is a problem. The cost in terms of water impact and the skyrocketing energy bills of people living near data centers are fueling much of the resentment. Also its use in generating misleading information and videos is a huge problem.

Farmers started using Roundup on wheat crops at harvest in 2006. Interestingly, 2006 marks the date when suddenly these gluten allergies began exploding. x.com/maha_action/st… This is why you need a daily detox. Visit drtdetox.com for my protocol.

If the Providence Police have identified a suspect again for brown university shooter and they have a warrant and it turns out they definitely have their guy Brown University still needs the federal funding taken away from them for trying to erase evidence. This is something I hope President Trump does That 5 million dollars could definitely be put in a better place

@greenfork Did Australia have 400+ million guns? Was nearly half of Australia armed? Did Australia have nearly half of all households armed? Were tens of millions of Australians carrying guns legally and illegally on their person every day?

@KurtBenkert With the latest mass shooting at Brown University, this might be a good time to mention that Bill Clinton’s assault weapons ban reduced mass shooting deaths by 43% - but after George W Bush & Republicans let it expire, mass shooting deaths spiked by 239%. It's the fucking guns.

🚨 BREAKING: Authorities believe Brown University shooter used a HANDGUN, per the AP That already blows a hole in the Left's "gun control" politicization of this tragedy if confirmed. Suspect still AT-LARGE, a "male in dark clothing." Students were just spotted still locked down. Regardless of the firearm he used, this is about the MOTIVE and the PERSON as the cause. The Democrats should NOT politicize this like they do every tragedy.

@greenfork You’re going against your own argument and don’t even realize it. You say “what else do we need to lock up” because it doesn’t fix anything, yet want to ban specific guns like it gets them off the street. Then consider an AR a weapon of war which is bullshit. Keep up.
