Thank you @govandybeshear.bsky.social for vetoing SB 199 — a bill that tried to shield pesticide manufacturers from being held accountable for the harm their toxic products cause. If the pesticide industry is too dangerous to operate without being legally shielded, it shouldn’t be operating at all.

The Seattle review of the most recent (post-2016) science affirms and strengthens the 2015 classification of #glyphosate as “probably” carcinogenic to humans by the WHO's cancer research agency. Many are now convinced that there is no longer room for doubt about the carcinogenicity of glyphosate.

As Trump supports pesticide makers, new studies highlight Mississippi Delta cancer concerns. #glyphosate msindy.org/p/mississipp...

Secrecy in EU pesticide approvals ruled unlawful — a landmark win for transparency and nature. “For too long, approvals of toxic chemicals have been shielded from scrutiny.” A judgment on the lawfulness of renewing the authorisation of #glyphosate is still pending.

Bayer and the Trump administration want the EPA to have sole authority over pesticide cancer labels. But the EPA has put cancer warnings on just 1.4% of pesticide labels for thousands of products where they themselves found a “probable” or “likely” cancer risk!! www.thenewlede.org/2026/03/epa-...

Scientists call for urgent action on #glyphosate, citing strong links to cancer. Participating scientists included experts affiliated with multiple US universities, the CDC and the National Cancer Institute, as well as experts from Europe and Canada. www.thenewlede.org/2026/03/scie...

"The same sequence repeats with numbing predictability: an early warning emerges, industry dismisses or buries it, and regulators—outmatched, under-resourced, or politically constrained—wait years or decades to act. When protections finally arrive, the harm is baked into the population." — Lanphear

The Long Poisoning Despite decades of evidence, only a small number of chemicals have ever been truly banned in the United States. This is a failure of governance—a regulatory system designed to tolerate harm until it becomes undeniable, rather than prevent it when the evidence first appears.

Let Them Eat Patents! Pat Mooney interview. Just four corporations—Bayer, Corteva, Syngenta & BASF—now control roughly 60% of the world’s commercial seed & pesticide markets.

💚 Almost weekend? 📣 Time for EU Watchdog Radio's new podcast! 👉 With UN Special Rapporteur Olivier de Schutter, CIEL's Rachel Radvany and CEO's Nina Holland 📖 On new briefing The Pollution Playbook, covering chemical industry tactics to undermine science corporateeurope.org/en/2026/03/p...

Two companies controlling 80% of seed patents is a chokepoint as dangerous as Hormuz is for oil. Food sovereignty depends on seed diversity. When Bayer and Corteva decide what gets planted, they're deciding what the planet eats. That's not agriculture. That's control of the base layer of survival.

Two new Beyond GM briefings explore the likely next stages for the UK’s deregulation of gene editing: farm animals and microorganisms. But the picture is considerably more complicated than the government may want us to believe. beyond-gm.org/gene-editing...

#Glyphosate could fuel a rise in superbugs—one of the top threats to global health and development. Scientists warn that waterways could act as a bridge, allowing resistant bacteria to move in both directions between the environment and health centres. www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/new...

Weedkiller ‘driving evolution of superbugs.’ Scientists have found that #glyphosate — the world’s most commonly used herbicide — may be driving the emergence of dangerous superbugs capable of resisting antibiotics, according to research. www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/03...

Citizens from across Asia met and decided to work together in pursuit of a world free from #GMO food. They noted how a wave of deregulation in Japan has led to no environmental impact or food safety checks on new GMOs—plus efforts to ban food labeling & even Non-GMO labeling. They're fighting back!!

Bayer is the sole US supplier of the white phosphorus involved in these war crimes.

Two great questions about deaths due to preventable environmental contamination: When is a death a murder? And: When do repeated, preventable harms become corporate crimes?

Hubris is right, we are okay with calling machines artificially intelligent but not prepared to see intelligence in the world around us.

I wouldn’t say revolutionary, I’d say under researched. There is more about this planet that we in our overestimated knowledge know about. We all know about the butterfly effect…. We all know that complex systems interact yet we still think that we “clever” humans can do what the hell we like.

We have highly evolved organisms like trees and plants and algae ... more effective than anything we can possibly create ourselves. #unlearn hubris and Descartes idea of organisms as mechanical www.theguardian.com/environment/...

This is part of what Trump’s #glyphosate executive order is protecting. Radioactive waste piles, groundwater pollution, mercury emissions and poisoned livestock: these are just some of the costs of producing this herbicide. And Trump wants to boost its production. dissentmagazine.org/online_artic...
