Trump 2.0 is targeting US protesters with ‘antifa’ charges. Activists started a union to fight back

NSPM-7 Defendants Union plans to offer legal clinics, media training and more to people facing prosecution for protest

This follows in the footsteps of the September 25 national security presidential memorandum NSPM-7 on “countering domestic terrorism and organized political violence,” which @willpotter.bsky.social says demonstrates that the administration is “building a case against dissent itself.”

Factory farming depends on secrecy enforced by criminalizing journalism and whistleblowing. And now the industry is even trying to overturn state reforms overwhelmingly approved by voters. Thanks to Kenny Torrella at Vox for chatting with me about my book! willpotter.com/littleredbarns

Take warning: failing politicians are going to keep lashing out at immigrants and protest movements in desperate bids for power and relevance. This has nothing to do with "holding the line against antifa" as Carr says -- it's pure fear mongering

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...

I just finished reading "Little Red Barns," and I'm so thankful you did the work you did. I'll be assigning sections from it for an undergraduate course I'm teaching in the fall entitled "Animal Stories." The idea that the popular representation of farms carries a story will be central to it.

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...
