GMO Bananas Are Here. Unlabeled. Because, you know... they don't want you to know it's GMO.
We reported on the UK-based biotech company, Tropic, back in 2014 and the company announced that two banana varieties are already in the market, sold in the U.S. and Canada. Since the USDA has deregulated the genetic engineering process of gene-editing and the products produced through gene-editing, these GMO bananas will require no safety testing at all and will not require a "bioengineered" label. Tropic won't even disclose where these GMO bananas are being grown. On top of that, because of the USDA deregulation, the company, or retailers, may even decide to trick you and advertise them as non-GMO. How screwed up is that? It's bananas.
The only way to avoid these GMO bananas will be to buy Certified Organic, Certified Biodynamic, or Non-GMO Project Verified. The Non-GMO Project prohibits gene-editing under its certification standards, so look for the butterfly.

You could watch the news 24/7 & not know that:
Our planet’s at its hottest in 120,000 years.
Methane levels are their highest in MILLIONS of years.
CO2 levels their highest in 3 MILLION years.
We're in a climate crisis. Denying it won't solve the problem.

🚨#NewYork deserves answers.
@SenSchumer and @SenGillibrand voted to advance the permitting bill.
We delivered letters raising concerns about threats to wildlife protections. Those warnings are on the record.
Affordability must not become a Trojan horse for weakening the ESA.

Good news! Ann Arbor, Michigan, has approved a citywide ban on the sale & use of glue traps. These traps leave rodents, birds, squirrels, & even cats suffering for days before dying of thirst, starvation or blood loss. We hope other cities follow suit! ladyfreethinker.org/good-new…

The Bipartisan American Affordability & Jobs Act would limit the ability of states & tribes to protect their waterways and communities from harmful projects like data centers powered by dirty energy. Tell your senators to vote NO on BAAJA! #NOBAAJA

Voting is one of the most powerful ways we can shape the future of the places we love.
Our elected leaders have a real impact on public lands, clean water, recreation access, and the communities we call home. They also determine how places are managed, protected, and experienced by future generations.

ACTION ALERT! The Senate is preparing to vote on a permitting reform bill aka 'BAAJA' that would have serious consequences for places like Bears Ears and the Boundary Waters.

.@SenCortezMasto, start opposing this bill NOW if you actually care about Tribal interests — not only at final passage when it's too late in the game.

We are outraged by the Supreme Court’s decision allowing Trump’s border wall construction to resume in @BigBendNPS. This destructive project threatens irreplaceable wildlife habitat, sacred cultural sites, and one of America’s most treasured landscapes. Big Bend deserves protection, not destruction!
Breaking News: The Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to continue construction of a wall along the southern border in Texas, including within Big Bend National Park. nyti.ms/4iGCTIa

A 🧵 about why #BAAJA is dangerous.
First of all, BAAJA exempts the expansion of existing fossil-fuel infrastructure from environmental review.

As the next chair of the Social Security Subcommittee, a top priority will be to expand Social Security benefits by at least $2,400 a year & extend Social Security’s solvency for generations.
How? By scrapping the cap & demanding that the wealthy pay their fair share of taxes.

Ever see an outdoor cat with the tip it's ear missing? That tiny ear-tip tells a BIG story. It often means the cat has been through a trap-neuter-vaccinate-return program.
