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

We disagree on some fundamental ethical questions, but that's that's exactly why I had this conversation with Agrarian Futures.
The industry's attempts to criminalize journalism affect every one of us. We have the right to know where our food comes from

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"

This was from my Democracy Now interview about Trump designating anti-fascists as terrorists.
Amy Goodman asked how we should respond.

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

Little Red Barns is a result of @will_potter's 10-year investigation—from factory farms to Ag-Gag laws, government overreach, & authoritarianism.
His courage & clarity in facing uncomfortable truths is inspiring—a reminder of why speaking out matters.
