When Neutrality Is a Constraint Journalism in the 1930s failed to communicate the danger of Hitler’s rise. Are we repeating the same mistake now?

LITTLE RED BARNS in Rolling Stone today!

The rise of authoritarianism we're witnessing right now is being directly shaped by corporate interests who profit from the repression.

In @rollingstone.com , I take a look at the playbook that Big Ag helped pioneer.

Review | This book about farms will make you rethink what’s on your plate Will Potter’s β€œLittle Red Barns” is an impassioned and thoroughly researched examination of factory farming and how it harms animals, the planet and us.

Look past the fantasy of cowboy cool that reassures us β€œfarms 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.

Writing β€œLittle Red Barns”—a book about fascism and factory farmsβ€”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

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 agoβ€”Oliver Uberti from grad school designed the cover of Little Red Barns!

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
