Today I’m joining a unified group of extraordinary citizens from across the country outside the U.S. Supreme Court for The People Vs. Poison Rally - The most consequential case on pesticides in history is being tried inside - we are fighting back. Watch the livestream live: https://t.co/4sW39dQy2E
🚨 “Americans are under attack.” 🚨
Rep. Thomas Massie just exposed that Bayer-Monsanto is waging a four-front war on American health and our democracy:
“They’re attacking our executive branch.”
“Our legislative branch at the state level.”
“Our legislative branch here in Washington, D.C.”
“And the courts.”
“And what do they want?”
“Get-out-of-court free cards.”
“My colleague, @chelliepingree, and I are working in the House of Representatives on one front. We’ve offered legislation called the No Immunity for Glyphosate Act.”
“The Supreme Court today, are they going to gag state judges? Are they going to disband state juries?”
“Are they going to shutter the state courts where justice should be served?”
“And if they do, are they proposing to hear these cases on their own?”
“No. They’re proposing that nobody gets any justice.”
“This is regulatory capture.”
“It is corrupt.”

“Our children are swimming in toxic soup.”
“From the air that they breathe, to the water that they drink, to the food that is meant to nourish their bodies, and instead is known to be laden with carcinogenic chemicals.”
CHD Senior Advocacy Manager Stephanie Locricchio just delivered an urgent call to action to block the pesticide liability shield:
“That’s why we’re all here.”
“To demand transparency, true informed consent about what goes into the bodies of our children, and the ability to hold big industry accountable.”
“Because we already know what happens when industry gets liability.”
“We’ve all been down that road, and we cannot let it happen again on our watch.”
“The only thing standing between big industry and our children is all of you.”
“We have an action alert that is live right now.”
“If you text the message PVP… to the phone number 55444, that will immediately give you a text message that will take you through our action alert that’s live now on the Children’s Health Defense website.”
“Let them know that we are not going anywhere.”
“We will not stop until we have access to… clean food, free from glyphosate, free from toxic chemicals.”
“We deserve better.”
“Our children deserve better.”

“You cannot tell Americans to eat real food while protecting the cancer-causing chemicals sprayed on it.”
Vani Hari blasts the Trump administration for claiming to care about health while protecting glyphosate and Bayer.
“Inside that building, Monsanto Bayer will be arguing for the right to poison us and not be held accountable.”
“They want to give us cancer and get away with it.”
“You cannot claim to care about health while protecting poison.”
“You cannot stand with families and side with one of the most evil corporations in the world.”
“We wouldn’t be here right now if they weren’t inside this building arguing on Monsanto’s behalf.”
“They made this their moment. Now we make it ours.”
@thefoodbabe #PeopleVsPoisonRally
WHAT?!... DOJ Lawyer Sarah M. Harris who is arguing on behalf of the Trump Admin tomorrow in favor of Monsanto Bayer - also used to clerk for Justice Clarence Thomas (who used to work for Monsanto). And also worked on Bayer Monsanto cases at her previous lawfirm. Is this case rigged from the start?https://t.co/kiHvQ9PjwG
“Was the EPA established to protect the environment and the people? Or was it established to protect foreign corporations when they harm the environment and the people?”

I will be at the United States Supreme Court today to speak at "The People vs. Poison Rally." My remarks will begin at 9:30 AM. Tune in! https://t.co/lectWU5r6A
🚨 LIVE from the Supreme Court: Thousands gather for The People vs. Poison rally as the Court weighs whether pesticide makers can avoid lawsuits over glyphosate harms tied to Monsanto’s Roundup. Watch live at https://t.co/paGr52dhkg https://t.co/MQneTyx2VE
I spoke at "The People vs. Poison Rally" outside the Supreme Court this morning.
I talked about the "No Immunity for Glyphosate Act," which I co-authored with @chelliepingree. Corporations should not be shielded from accountability, and Americans deserve their day in court.
My compatriots,
Ali Khamenei, the Zahhak of our time — the demon who, only weeks ago, issued the order for the massacre of tens of thousands of Iran’s finest sons and daughters — is gone.
With his disgraceful death, and that of many of his appointees and affiliates, the Islamic Republic is drawing its final breaths. Through your will and bravery, it will soon be consigned to the dustbin of history. The great nation of Iran seeks the complete fall of the Islamic Republic, and we will bring down this demonic regime.
My message to the remaining officials of this republic of terror is this: surrender to the Iranian nation. Declare your loyalty to my plan and our transition framework, and hand over power without further bloodshed.
Any attempt by the remnants of the regime to appoint a successor to Khamenei is doomed to failure in advance. Whoever they place in his position will not only lack legitimacy, but will also be a partner in the crimes of this regime.
To the military, law enforcement, and security forces, I say: your weapons must be used to defend the great nation of Iran, not the republic of crime, thuggery, and its anti-Iranian criminals. Join the people of Iran and the Lion and Sun Revolution. Use your arms to protect Iranians against the mercenaries of the Islamic Republic so that this 47-year nightmare may end more swiftly.
The death of the criminal Khamenei, though it does not repay the blood that has been shed, can calm the wounded hearts of grieving fathers and mothers, spouses and children, sisters and brothers; a measure of solace for the proud families of the martyrs of Iran’s Lion and Sun Revolution.
Honorable and courageous people of Iran,
The death of the despot of our time, although it marks the beginning of our great national celebration, is not the end of the road. Remain vigilant. Be prepared. The time for a widespread and decisive presence in the streets is very near.
I ask you, while maintaining your security, to demonstrate your satisfaction with and support for the crushing of the Islamic Republic through nightly chants, and to shout your demands for Iran’s future. My strength comes from your strength and your support.
I ask Iranians abroad — who for weeks have worked tirelessly and relentlessly as the powerful voice of our compatriots inside Iran — to intensify your efforts. Force the world to hear the Iranian people’s support for this humanitarian intervention and our demand for the complete fall of the regime.
Sensitive days lie ahead of us. Together, we will walk the path to victory, and we will overthrow the Islamic Republic.
Long live Iran.
Reza Pahlavi
“We’re talking about a regime that raped women for simply showing their hair...Removing a terrorist is not tragedy. It’s a sign of justice...He ordered my killings 3x. He ordered the killings of innocent Iranians for 47 years...Do not dare to mourn for terrorists”
–@AlinejadMasih
Remember when Islamic Republic president basically said the Holocaust was a “myth” and laughed it off in front of the world? Fast-forward to now: state media in Iran is saying he is dead. A regime that denied truth now faces the truth of its collapse.
In 2009, the regime stole the election. When millions rose up during the Green Movement, they answered with bullets.
More than 100 were killed under Ahmadinejad’s rule. Neda Agha-Soltan was shot in the face. Her blood on the pavement woke the world.
But instead of standing decisively with the Iranian people, @BarackObama send a letter to Ali @khamenei_ir pursued deals.
Appeasement does not guarantee peace. And security comes from removing threats not negotiating with them.
This is the moment when @CBSNews anchor told me the news about the elimination of @khamenei_ir. This is what it looks like when a survivor hears that her oppressor is gone.
And you Zohran Mamdani keep quiet and listen to Iranians.
Ali @khamenei_ir killed her mother Minoo Majidi.
Roya shaved her head and stood on her mother’s grave in rage, not tears.
Today she celebrates her mother’s killer falling.
Iran is wounded but unbreakable.
What a powerful video. The regime blinded this iranian women in a peaceful protest in Iran. Shot directly into her eyes.
She stood beside me in US federal court when I faced the men who were sent to assassinate me in New Yourk, no I will stand with her.
To young Americans. Western women:
Don’t feel sorry with a regime that shoots women in the eyes. Stand with their victims.
