Have you read Little Red Barns by @willpotter.bsky.social It's a game changer for sure on how you view the picturesque images we grew up with. Check out the whole episode at www.BetterLifeForAnimals.com/055-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" www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Wonderful to see the new book being used like this. Thank you @rmaios.bsky.social !

Accused of arson, finally pled to lesser chg and probation: "..case was never about justice for an alleged crime. It was about instilling fear in a strong movement" www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026... @willpotter.bsky.social @dnbrgr.bsky.social @micahh.bsky.social @equalityalec.bsky.social

If you think you know about factory farming, you may want to rethink this. @betterlife4animals.bsky.social and @willpotter.bsky.social pull back the covers. betterlifeforanimals.com/podcast/055-...

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

BOOTLICKING DOESN'T WORK. This was from my Democracy Now interview about Trump designating anti-fascists as terrorists. I've spent my entire life as an investigative journalist studying political repression and authoritarianism. Here's the one lesson I need you to hear:

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...

The truth about #factoryfarming, by Will Potter, for a special edition of Current Affairs. @currentaffairs.bsky.social @willpotter.bsky.social

In writing his book, @willpotter.bsky.social investigated the laws that hide the harms of factory farms from the public. But he also uncovered something even more disturbing — that these measures are deeply rooted in facism. We talk with him in our new podcast episode: foodprint.org/what-youre-e...

They won’t stop here. But this is the full-on fascist playbook. And it will keep moving from the margins to the middle until only the obedient remain. No matter what issues you care most about, you can’t advocate for them under authoritarian rule. Fight back now while we still have some time

On our podcast, we talk with @willpotter.bsky.social, Leah Garces of @mercyforanimals.org, Tyler Lobdell of @foodandwaterwatch.bsky.social and Mike Callicrate about the laws that keep us from knowing the full truth about how animals are raised for us to eat. Listen: foodprint.org/what-youre-e...

Myths about our ancestors' meaty diets animate modern politics and culture wars about food and identity. But the history of human diets tells a different story about food's past and lets us be more rational about its future. @gnrosenberg.bsky.social & I for @vox.com www.vox.com/future-perfe...

Books and punk rock will get us through 🖤 Thank you to Type Books and everyone who came out to talk "Little Red Barns" in Toronto! Huge thanks to Vince Neil for grabbing some photos and making me look way cooler than I am. Propagandhi always the soundtrack. @citylightsbooks.bsky.social

"I have now spent most of my life bearing witness to humanity at its worst, and in doing so I have placed myself in positions where I have also been able to witness humanity at its best."— @willpotter.bsky.social in conversation @kalwradio.bsky.social bit.ly/42yPciF

🐷 Public concern for animals is growing, but governments are cracking down on advocates instead of abusive industries. At #ALAC2025, Dr. Tayler Zavitz & journalist @willpotter.bsky.social examine ag gag laws & global repression of animal activism—& how we can fight back.

And - as @willpotter.bsky.social showed in Green Is The New Red - expanded their entrapment attempts against/ infiltration of non violent green activists...

"This is what fascists do."— @willpotter.bsky.social on the administration's labeling Antifa a terrorist organization in their war on dissent Watch his interview with @democracynow.org -- bit.ly/3KjMk2M

What's behind President Trump's executive order deeming anti-fascists to be terrorists? Investigative journalist @willpotter.bsky.social says it's a "radical escalation" in the administration's "war on dissent and the war on protest."
