A key reason gene editing shouldn't be deregulated is all the hype about its precision & accuracy is BS. Even Harvard's George Church calls #CRISPR "a blunt axe". He says, "it's called editing, I think it's really genome vandalism." Yet the Govt thinks it needs no safety checks!

URGENT: The 2026 Farm Bill is a “pesticide industry wishlist.” Farm Action is mobilizing advocates to fight back. Here’s how you can join our fight: Our Co-Founder and President Angela Huffman told The Guardian that shielding pesticide makers from lawsuits for failing to warn farmers about cancer risks “makes it harder for farmworkers and farmers to seek compensation when products cause health harm or crop damage.” “When companies can’t be held accountable beyond federal labeling requirements, the costs of failure fall on rural communities instead of manufacturers.” Independent farmers need a Farm Bill that stops corporate abuse, restores fair competition, strengthens local and regional supply chains, and supports farming practices that protect soil and health.

Call your reps and tell them DO NOT PASS THE FARM BILL unless the pesticide liability shield is TAKEN OUT

Call to ban ‘dangerous’ weed killers in Wales. Coalition of groups has called on the Welsh Govt to phase out the use of #glyphosate-based weed-killers in public spaces following mounting evidence that they are damaging to public health and the environment. nation.cymru/news/call-to-b…

This article says glufosinate is generally considered minimally toxic to humans. But, in fact, it's banned in Europe and @EPA considers it 166x more toxic than #glyphosate. Research links glufosinate to premature birth, miscarriage, stillbirth, skeletal birth defects, and autism.

The two herbicides that were used had glyphosate and glufosinate as their active ingedients. Research has shown exposure to #glyphosate may be linked to a range of health effects in humans, including inflammatory conditions, neurological disorders and reproductive disruptions.

Stanislaus investigates spraying at school after reports of rashes, skin irritation—emergency personnel responded and provided medical aid. Following the incident, the district has paused all herbicide applications across its campuses. #glyphosate modbee.com/news/business/…

“It is not ethical to put children at risk for potential severe harm such as cancer, reproductive problems, immune disorders, and liver and kidney disease” — Cynthia Nast, kidney pathologist Cedars-Sinai Medical Center & professor of pathology UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine

“If they’re spraying the fields or the sidewalks, teachers are walking over it, it’s getting on people’s shoes, it’s getting on the carpets in the classroom (and) the kids are sitting on the carpets in the classroom. It’s not safe” — Torrance Elementary School parent Makala Meyer

Torrance schools stop using Roundup weed killer following parents’ uproar. “Children will roll on the grass and may put grass in their mouths or eat it, thus exposing them to absorption through the skin and ingestion.”dailybreeze.com/2026/03/20/tor…

According to @politico what Bayer’s lobbying sold Trump on was their claim they’d have to quit producing #glyphosate and elemental phosphorus (for weapons), but this was a LIE. They’d already committed massive capital expenditure to producing MORE of both! thenewlede.org/2026/02/trump-…

Remember Bayer-Monsanto ties to Trump include 16 key administration officials with ties to Bayer’s lobbying or legal network, including Susie Wiles and others in Trump’s inner circle. usrtk.org/pesticides/tra…

“The details of Bayer’s conversations with senior White House officials, including ***multiple meetings*** involving (@Bayer) CEO Bill Anderson and top Trump advisers ***including chief of staff Susie Wiles***, have not previously been reported...”

“We are seeing the hollowing out of our rural communities.” “In the last 10 years… the top five agriculture companies have made $150 billion in profit.” “At the same time, we’ve lost 200,000 family farms.” Regenerative farmer Zach Lahn breaks down how Big Ag is “extorting our farmers.” “I just yesterday had a meeting with 70 traditional farmers… just north of my farm here.” “Farmers actually do not like these companies in the first place.” “For many years, these companies have been buying up all the smaller companies, reducing competition and creating monopolies.” “If you ask any farmer what their biggest issue has been over the past couple years, they’re not gonna talk about tariffs.” “What they’re gonna talk about is that input companies keep driving their prices up and they have no choice of where to go to buy something different.” “Farmers are looking for a way out.” @ZachLahn @leah_wilson

It's not just #dicamba & #glyphosate that the Trump administration have been busy boosting, they've also scaled back federal oversight of PFAS and even registered *NEW* PFAS-based #pesticides, despite the known harmful effects these forever chemicals have on health and farmland.

Glyphosate found in South African baby cereal; watchdog group calls for ban. “We know that #glyphosate is an endocrine disruptor, so if young babies are being fed this every day.. it can affect their physical health and development.” news.mongabay.com/short-article/…

The People vs. Poison It’s time to stop corporations from poisoning Americans. It’s time to stand together. On April 27, the Supreme Court will hear a case called Monsanto vs. Durnell. For years, Monsanto sold Roundup, a weed killer made with glyphosate, without warning people it could cause cancer. Internal documents show the company hid evidence and even helped write studies to make the product seem safe. Now Bayer, the company that bought Monsanto, is losing billions in lawsuits from people who say Roundup harmed them. Instead of adding a cancer warning, Bayer is trying to avoid being sued at all. They want the Supreme Court to rule that their EPA-approved label protects them from responsibility. But what they won’t say is this: the label they rely on is based on misleading information. They helped create it—and they could ask to add a cancer warning at any time. This case could affect more than just Roundup. It could impact all pesticides. If the Court sides with Monsanto, companies could be protected from lawsuits—even if their products are dangerous. Many of these chemicals are known to harm the body, including causing cancer and damaging the brain and hormones. If companies can’t be held accountable, they may have no reason to make safer products or tell the truth. That puts everyone—especially future generations—at risk. Join us on April 27 at 9am on the SCOTUS steps in Washington, D.C., to stand against this for the biggest MAHA rally yet! Bring the entire family and plan a trip to visit a new safer and more beautiful DC! RSVP- thepeoplevspoison.org
