How the Farm Industry Spied on Animal Rights Activists and Pushed the FBI to Treat Them as Terrorists
For years, a powerful ‘Big Ag’ trade group served up information on activists to the FBI. Records reveal a decade-long effort to see the animal rights movement labeled a legitimate terrorism threat.

Sustainable farming and food security start with science. We fully support the call for a range of voices, particularly environmental experts, to shape our national food strategy.
Yesterday, @chrisgpackham.bsky.social with us and Plant-Based Health Professionals UK staged a protest outside the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs #DEFRA, objecting to the make-up of a new government body intended to oversee development of its landmark food strategy.

Sorry to sound like a broken record here, but, with this whole "grooming gangs" bit going on, there are some additional important bits. Yes, majority of offenders are white. It's easy for likes of Farage et al to try and explain that away based on the demographic make up of the UK though. 1/
Reporting on grooming gangs tends to focus on minorities, however, as Home Office's own report showed, offenders are far more likely to be white, British. This isn't an immigration issue. Playing to racist tropes means majority of perpetrators are ignored. 1/ #r4today

2 things can be true:
1. Syrians are overjoyed & rightly celebrating the fall of a half-century-long brutal, psychotic dictatorship, & hoping to see their homes again.
2. It is not safe or responsible for European countries of sanctuary to talk now of repatration or ending asylum for Syrians.

Bit of an about turn from "joyful Syrians celebrating new found freedom." And that's before the new rulers start settling old scores and imposing their brand of Sharia.
