EXCLUSIVE: Hidden video and whistleblower reveal gruesome mass-extermination method for Iowa pigs amid pandemic interc.pt/2XcUIG7
The 4-minute video we produced on the use by Iowa's largest pork producer, @IowaSelect, of a gruesome mass-extermination process that causes sustained, extreme agony for pigs as they die. From hidden cameras & an investigation by the heroic @DxEverywhere:

The horrors of industrial agriculture and factory farms is so extreme that no matter how much you report on it, it's traumatizing. Society owes huge gratitude to the brave @DxEverywhere activists who risk their liberty to expose these atrocities. Spectacular video by @lwoodhouse.
With the high readership on this article, we've been hearing from other @IowaSelect employees about similar and worse abuses perpetrated by Iowa's largest pork producer. If you work at any factory farm and have newsworthy information, please contact us:

Animal rights activists uncover the locations of thousands of factory farms interc.pt/3dkYR0u by @AlleenBrown - "Users will be able to pin new locations to the map, known as Project Counterglow, and attach photos and videos documenting animal cruelty and health violations."
The incredibly brave @DxEverywhere investigator who enabled us to report on the sick and cruel mass-extermination method of pigs by @IowaSelect -- @DxE_Matt -- has been arrested and faces multiple felony charges yesterday. My interview with him here:

There's obviously a lot going on right now but these animal rights activists do incredibly brave and important work, facing a very powerful industry that uses its police and political power to crush transparency. For anyone inclined to help Matt & DxE:

Hard to overstate the political instability and rapidly growing threat to democracy right now in Brazil. It's virtually a universal consensus the country is headed to a ugly breaking point: open talk about use of force to resolve Bolsonaro's conflicts with the courts/Congress...
The real objective of the Bolsonaro movement has become clear over the last 6 months if not earlier: it *wants* civil disorder and street violence to justify restoration of military-era repressive measures. COVID-19 is barely discussed now even as it worsens. Genuinely dangerous.

Sen. @EWarren, 12/19/2019: "I do not sell access to my time. I don't do call time with millionaires and billionaires. I don't meet behind closed doors with big-dollar donors."

@NYTimes, today: "Elizabeth Warren to Hold Big-Dollar Fund-Raiser for Biden"

"Billionaires in wine caves should not pick the next President of the United States" -- Sen. @EWarren, righteously and inspirationally chiding @PeteButtigieg for meeting with "rich people in smoke-filled rooms."

Maybe she meant it's OK if it's in Zoom cave and not a wine cave?
Anyway..... #PersistPAC
