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/202…

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 agrarianfuturespod.com/episo…

I will be pursuing a press complaint against you @DailyMail for this revolting, dangerous, damaging headline. His poor daughter went to live with him after a difficult life, hoping for love and stability. He got her blind drunk & raped her. She killed herself. Shame on you.

Both the paper @DailyMail and journalist @will_potter who penned that headline need to be called out. Absolutely disgusting 😡

@will_potter You need to take a good, hard look at yourself, at your career, at your choices, but mostly at how you view women. You should be ashamed of yourself. ‘Rape’ that is the word. ‘Romp’ is something from a Carry On film. Were you hoping to raise a titter from the lads?

Trump admin is using NSPM-7 to go after Cop City protesters. “Fireworks become explosives. Communities become ‘antifa cells’. The power of language is going to become central to everything the government is doing moving forward.” @will_potter theguardian.com/us-news/2026…

It’s a hard time for people of conscience right now. We’re being targeted in ways not seen in a long time, if ever. In our latest, @BobBuzzanco and I talk about the growing state repression with @will_potter .

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…

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:

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/littleredbarn…

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/…
