Why I'm standing behind the $7.25 billion Roundup settlement • Missouri Independent

I’m grateful for the proposed $7.25 billion Roundup settlement because it offers a secure, real path to compensation for me and my family.

Pactise, crée une E N T E N T E de facade avec les E N N E M I S. EN F O U I S les problèmes derrière une bonne couche de joyeuse fraternité. Fais comme si tu E N V I A I S depuis toujours ce moment, comme si tu E N C R A I S l'instant dans le marbre. Dépose une couche d'E N G R A I S toxique #monsanto qui va les faire crever à petit feu. 😈

Okay I'm swearing. I got to say this before I forget it. Have #farmers, like maybe even a #co-op of smaller farmers so that they can survive the onslaught of corporate #Monsanto try and own the food supply, put #lodging on the #property?

How a chemical and pharmaceutical giant with an appalling record of corporate crimes became a key player in the development, commercialization and sale of GM crops

Defunding the International Agency for Research on Cancer is exactly what Republican lawmakers, orchestrated by #Monsanto, have been trying to achieve ever since IARC classified #glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup, as a "probable carcinogen". https://theintercept.com/2019/08/23/monsanto-republicans-cancer-research/
Emails Show Monsanto Orchestrated GOP Effort to Intimidate Cancer Researchers

The firm antagonized regulators and applied pressure to undermine research of Roundup, the world’s leading herbicide.

Trump Executive Order Protected Weedkiller Roundup and a Munition, White Phosphorus

Citing national security, an unusual executive order gave protection to the herbicide Roundup. It also protected the U.S.’s only supply of a controversial, highly flammable munition.

If you've been exposed to glyphosate, you may be eligible to get compensation. The details are here:

Note that the exposure does not have to be related to work. It can be residential.

From what I gather, right now it is only possible to register to get updates on the class action.

It is only after the final approval that you'll be able to register for benefits. The final approval is currently scheduled for July 9th 2026.

"To determine global pesticide risk, the study researchers looked at data on pesticide use from 2013 to 2019 in 65 nations that collectively represent nearly 80% of global crop acreage. They then combined these statistics with data on the toxicity of 625 pesticides for eight different species groups, including aquatic invertebrates and plants, fish, pollinating insects, soil organisms, and terrestrial arthropods, plants and vertebrates."

This TAT [total applied toxicity] is a very good approach to measure ecotoxicity. This is very important since the often used "tons of pesticides applied" is quite useless when we are talking about substances with highly varying toxicity. 👌

Of many pesticides, we do not really know the toxicity, or there is a lack of scientific consensus because the agrochemical corporations play dirty and have an army of paid pseudo-scientists. Additionally, toxicological studies focus mainly on acute toxicity on humans and not on long-term adverse health effects or the effects of combinations of different pollutants. And the toxicity for ecosystem functions is seldom even considered.
May this TAT help us to not underestimate toxicity so much.
