A recent study links pesticide use to increased cancer risks — at a level on par with smoking. The evidence can be seen in several Midwestern states, which grow the majority of U.S. corn and soybeans and have elevated cancer rates, according to @foodandwater.bsky.social.

ICE is a brutal and lawless agency and we strongly condemn the murder of Renee Nicole Good by ICE. Trump, Miller, Noem and their cronies have been using ICE to terrorize communities and break up families. The ICE agents responsible must be brought to justice and ICE should be dismantled.

BIG NEWS: We’re calling for a nationwide moratorium on new data centers. These facilities increase energy costs, consume huge amounts of water and expand dirty energy. To protect communities, we need to halt unregulated approval and construction until we know the risks. More here: fwwat.ch/49ogtrY
