Who are the top glyphosate sprayers in CA? @motherjones.com dug into state pesticide reports to build this database. Well known food and wine companies, a giant lumber company, Caltrans, (alas) California State Parks, and also the US Forest Service. Read it and weep.

We've identified California's Top 100 Roundup users. Some may surprise you.

Search our new database to see which ones are spraying glyphosate near you.

I think it's appropriate to emphasize that US Forest Service chief Tom Schultz, who refused to speak with Nate Halverson (@paperwords.bsky.social) for this story, is a former timber company executive and logging industry lobbyist.

Got the amazing opportunity to contribute to this year-long investigation. Filming with @paperwords.bsky.social in Tahoe was an unforgettable experience. Watch the full video on PBS NewsHour: youtu.be/9j0SXxyf9pI

Indigenous Californians have safeguarded their traditions through violent persecution, boarding schools, and other threats from authorities. Now, they say they're under attack again, this time from the controversial herbicide glyphosate, the key ingredient in Roundup.

I found another ghost written Monsanto study that said glyphosate was safe. This time the EPA knew about it, told no one, and continued to cite it.

In 2023, I reported on the foster kids stuck at North Star, a notorious Anchorage psychiatric facility. Some kids stayed months or years—enduring restraints, seclusion, and more—simply because there was nowhere else for them to go. Now, a law aims to change that. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

A Mother Jones investigation helped spur a new Alaska law protecting vulnerable kids

HB 36 will require a review of foster kids' placements in psychiatric hospitals.

🧵 This is a BOMBSHELL story—and one that makes my blood boil. To encourage forest regrowth, the USFS is opting for the cheapest solution: Spraying Roundup—a weedkiller that contains glyphosate, which has been linked to harmful health impacts—on anything that could compete with conifers. (1/3)

The controversial weed killer Roundup is now being deployed in private and public forests at record rates. We go inside the secret plan that helped make it possible.

A little more than a year ago, @paperwords.bsky.social received a letter from the US Forest Service detailing plans for a new wildfire recovery project. But a single word caught his eye—and alerted him to a secret, Big Tobacco-style campaign with ramifications for our forests.
