A key reason gene editing shouldn't be deregulated is all the hype about its precision & accuracy is BS. Even Harvard's George Church calls #CRISPR "a blunt axe". He says, "it's called editing, I think it's really genome vandalism." Yet the Govt thinks it needs no safety checks!
"#CRISPR can persist in cells for weeks, bouncing around the chromosomes, producing damage to DNA over and over again every time it finds a near match to the intended target"—@eben_kirksey on how the 'gene editing' metaphor hides the messy cellular reality us.macmillan.com/books/97812502…
Plan to reapprove dangerous, drift-prone #dicamba is bad news for butterflies, rusty patched bumblebees, and dozens of other imperiled species, including pollinators, says Center for Biological Diversity biologicaldiversity.org/w/news/press-r…
Two crusading animal-rights "bioethicists" calling for the engineered spread of ticks in the population to create allergies against red meat, and thereby reduce meat consumption. Yes, you read that correctly. Universities sure have some psychopaths in their ranks these days.
In his book (The Mutant Project) about how #CRISPR was used to "edit" babies, the scholar @eben_kirksey explains how metaphors like gene editing actually hide messy cellular dynamics. Kirksey says an armed drone attack gives a more accurate comparison us.macmillan.com/books/97812502…
Bayer settles class action over false advertising. The class action lawsuit claimed @Bayer and some of its executives made false and misleading statements, which inflated its share price, about the company’s due diligence in its acquisition of #Monsanto. claimdepot.com/settlements/ba…
POLITICS OF GMO IN NIGERIA: The DG of @NafdacAgency has commented on Genetically Modified Organisms. This video was deleted EVERYWHERE from the Internet. What happened? Find out in this thread: 1/5
18.✊🏽 What you must demand: • ❌ No GM animal feed imports • ❌ No US “self-certification” • 🧪 Independent safety testing in Indian labs • 🧾 Full labelling & traceability • 🚫 Stop illegal GM food produce already being sold in India • 🛡️ Protect export sectors from GM…
⚠️ They’re Sneaking GM Animal Feed Into Bharat Using “Self-Certification” — A Backdoor Entry for GM Produce On July 9, India did not sign the GM clause in the US trade pact. But the pressure hasn’t stopped. Warnings. Lobbying. Self-certification tricks. Here’s how your food,…
On The GMO Debate: The Perspective of Dr Ify Rhodes-Vivour, Bill Gates’ $1 Million Prize Winner! In the ongoing GMOs moot-point, I picked interest in the perspective of Dr. Ify Aniebo Rhodes-Vivour, an associate professor in the field of discourse, a “nepo baby” from a…
French anger over bee-killing pesticide piles pressure on Macron. Anti-pesticides petition has now racked up over 1.9 million signatures—and representatives of France's culinary world have published an open letter calling for a moratorium on pesticide use. newstopicnews.com/news/national/…
What will freer genetic engineering laws mean for our food's future? Prof. @Jack_Heinemann says the most likely outcome is products that intensify the use of agrochemicals. It's also likely to "produce novelty items, rather than food that we really need." 1news.co.nz/2025/07/22/is-…

Speaking about GMO’s and ignoring glyphosate is unconscionable.
🚨 THEY KNEW IT WOULDN’T SURVIVE A FLOOR VOTE So they hid it. ⚠️ Section 453 — Blocks lawsuits against Bayer ☣️ Section 507 — Legalizes PFAS as “fertilizer” ✅ Passed in committee by voice vote ❌ No names. No records. Next stop: Full House vote. beefnews.org/anonymous-voic…

By the end of the year, you won’t know whether you’re eating a new #GMO food or not. Help needed! If you care about whether you eat, grow or buy genetically-edited food then it’s time to support a campaign holding the government to account, says @Riverford wickedleeks.riverford.co.uk/news/help-need…
Irish grain growers want action on imports of #GMO maize products. They say Irish consumers have the right to know via labelling about the expanded use of GMOs in the Irish food chain in recent years, at the expense of high-quality Irish grain. agriland.ie/farming-news/g…
This is insane! Section 453 in the House appropriations bill, as many in MAHA have been speaking about, gives pesticide companies a partial liability shield. When an amendment was introduced to remove it, the chairman didn’t count votes—he just listened to the “Ayes” and “Noes”…
Here's an ex-IARI Principal Scientist sharing the facts as they are. No fear of gag orders of Govt of India. Good to see some scientists upholding the integrity of scientific evidence. "Herbicide tolerant cotton not a panacea, only ecological disaster" newindianexpress.com/xplore/2025/Ju…
