@willpotter.bsky.social examines the psychological and social impact of the over saturation of cruelty in the digital age.

Look past the fantasy of cowboy cool that reassures us “farms and feedlots are fine places.” Lydia Millet’s review of LITTLE RED BARNS: @willpotter.bsky.social’s deeply researched investigation into how US factory farms are steeped in cruelty, the climate crisis, extinction & secrecy. bit.ly/4eJpP2s

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.com www.washingtonpost.com/books/2025/0...

You don’t need grad school to write your book. But if you can swing it (I went nights while working) it’s a rare way to go deep into the craft. And I still conspire with our crew from 15+ years ago—Oliver Uberti from grad school designed the cover of Little Red Barns! willpotter.com/littleredbarns

So proud of @will_potter! Witnessing the depth of his commitment to truth-telling in our residency left a mark-as did my own "illegal" visit to a factory farm yrs ago. His work is powerful, necessary journalism. I’ve ordered my copy & can't wait to dig in. I hope you get yours too! #meatthevictims

Investigative journalism doesn't often make the beach read lists, so really appreciate this. Thanks @altajournal.bsky.social "Little Red Barns affirms the important role of investigative journalism in our society."

The precedent for this has been established since the 90s, with criminalizing enviros as “eco terrorists.” This is going to escalate both due to Trump and climate crisis as more folks take direct action
