It costs ~$70 to produce a year’s supply of insulin. Yet, the average annual cost of insulin went from $2,864 in 2012 to $5,705 in 2016 to $18,000 in 2025. A 25,714% markup. That isn’t inflation or supply chain—It’s corporate greed. Now—California will sell insulin for $11. Make this nationwide!

@flydelta.bsky.social - what is going on? #1- I flew MCO to PMC last night and now you are asking me to check back in? Our flight he was delayed 4 H last night and I barely made it here. The trip you suggest I should check into is nonsensical- MCO to ATL to PNC then BOS To PMC?

Super interesting piece by @knibbs.bsky.social on ant smuggling #IWT. If only there were a solution. Oh wait - @andrewlrhyne.bsky.social and I created one. www.wired.com/story/usda-a...

#UNFSS4 wrapped this week with a clear message: We need bold, urgent action to address #hunger, #inequality & ecological breakdown. Our Calls to Action offer a roadmap for real change: 🌱 Inclusive governance 🌱 Investment in #agroecology 🌱 Equity + sustainability 📖 futureoffood.org/publication-...

The world is facing a global land squeeze as food, feed, fiber and fuel demand rises. How to manage it? 🧪 - PRODUCE more food and fiber sustainably on existing working lands - PROTECT remaining natural ecosystems - REDUCE waste and growth in demand for land-intensive goods - RESTORE degraded lands

If you're new around here: The actions taken by the Trump administration against FEMA have made it impossible for FEMA to effectively respond to any large disaster. This is what we have been warning about for the past six months. I'll drop some links if you need to catch up. It's alot.

Hey #science - let’s not lose sight of the damage pulling grants has done. Can we start using a +/- index for our grants? I had 2 EPA and 1 USAID grants pulled from me, so I’m -3. What is your #SciencePlusMinus?

#BWPUC - anyone know how to fix overlooked species? I have Baltimore Orioles at my feeder (Massachusetts) and the PUC barely records them. Also pretty sure we don’t have bluebirds.

Outraged by Jan 6, he spent two years getting inside the top ranks of militias like the Oath Keepers. He was stunningly successful. He penetrated a new generation of militia leaders, which included doctors, cops & government attorneys. This is his story. www.propublica.org/article/ap3-...

I agree with much of what Michael wrote, yet deplore a lack of vision. We show no sign of eating less meat, as he writes, because so few journalists explain to us the huge benefits this would bring, for the planet, our health, our wallets.

@qatarwings.bsky.social - you delayed leaving 15 min so I missed my connection. During the 11 H on the ground in DOH- why did you not also tell me you lost my bag? Send a call # so I can talk to someone about this terrible service.

A piece about the transfer of ag land to residential / commercial use. Once ag land is converted it will never return. At the same time- no pressure on developers to set aside land for ag use or even nature. Seems like a missed opportunity. sustainablecitycode.org/brief/subdiv... #foodstudies
