Writing “Little Red Barns”—a book about fascism and factory farms—has been a long journey, and an isolated one. Coming out the other side to have authors I admire engaging with this story means the world to me. Thank you Lydia Millet & @washingtonpost washingtonpost.com/books/2025/07/…

The "Green Scare" is being cited in the UK case as evidence of why a fugitive animal rights activist wouldn't get a fair trial if extradiced. I talked to Ali Winston about the FBI's obsessive campaign against animal and enviro activists as "terrorists" theguardian.com/us-news/2025/d…

This was from my Democracy Now interview about Trump designating anti-fascists as terrorists. Amy Goodman asked how we should respond. I've spent my life as an investigative journalist studying political repression and authoritarianism. Here's the 1 lesson I need you to hear:

@JHWeissmann I can! In short: the right has long used milk as a symbol of racial purity because black/asian folks have higher rates of lactose intolerance. It's part of larger fascist myths of "tradition" and a mythological past. Plug I wrote a book: willpotter.com/littleredbarns/

Kim Stallwood is truly a citizen historian of the animal rights movement, and I mean that in the best way--he has documented it while living it. It's a pleasure to chat about my new book and the link between factory farms and rising fascism kimstallwood.substack.com/p/little-red-b…
