After a 4-year legal battle, Monsanto (now owned by Bayer) drops lawsuit against Mexico’s #GMO corn ban! Internal documents revealed during the trials in #Mexico indicated that #Monsanto was aware of glyphosate's cancer risks. Mexico's order restricting the use of GMO corn and #glyphosate remains in place after #Monsanto dropped its legal action. https://mexiconewsdaily.com/news/monsanto-drops-lawsuit-mexico-gm-corn-ban/

Yesterday I joined a protest in #StLouis about #WhitePhosphorous. A chemical weapon, which kills and maims by chemical burn. White Phosphorous is produced by #Monsanto (headquartered here in STL), sold to #ICL (which also operates out of STL), and then sold by ICL to several militaries, including the US and IDF.

In many ways it can feel like these wars are solely the decisions of far away politicians, happening in far away places, to far away people. But the machine is also here at home.
