Trying to use less plastic?
Big Oil and the plastics industry are spending billions to make sure everyone else uses more.
“I think what stood out most is the deliberateness and intentionality over the years of pushing plastic into our lives,” said @bethgardiner.bsky.social. “It was such a shock."
Very disappointing, though ultimately unsurprising, to see the DOJ surrender in the middle of the Ticketmaster-LiveNation case after political pressure from the top. Hopefully the states will continue to push to break up a monopoly that should have never been allowed to exist in the first place.
Gobsmackingly insane.
“The Feb. 28 strike on the Shajarah Tayyebeh elementary school building was the result of a targeting mistake by the U.S. military.”
At least 175 were killed, many of whom were just little children.

NEW: The Iranian drone strike that killed 6 U.S. troops in Kuwait at the start of the war was far more devastating than previously disclosed.
Dozens suffered traumatic brain injuries, burns, and shrapnel wounds. At least one required an amputation. More than 30 remain hospitalized. (CBS News)
Another word you might use for it is "looting".
"This appears to be the first administration to take such widespread advantage of taxpayer-funded military housing to accommodate political appointees who do not have a direct connection to the military..."

Former NATO commander: "Iran can turn the Strait of Hormuz into a hellscape in days with mines. The global economy needs to be ready for a month-long shutdown."
Now, the world will face consequences for Trump's fantasies - and they're just beginning.
Canadians have increasingly bypassed U.S. travel for more than a year, and the boycott shows no sign of slowing down.
Yesterday Senator Chris Murphy attended a briefing on the war in Iran. Afterwards he said:
We are not going to be able to achieve any of our objectives. This is a disaster of epic proportions.
Agreed. If people didn’t know what they were voting for, it was because they didn’t want to. The information was out there and easily accessible.

New in PN: DOJ nopes out of Ticketmaster antitrust suit
"Thanks to the Trump administration’s corruption, a mafia-like monopoly survives, and Americans will continue to pay exorbitant fees to see live music.
*Trump take ticket* … along with everything else."
They used to be, but now we have criminals running the country so . . .
Who could possibly have foreseen that war on Iran would (a) make Iran retaliate by closing the strait of Hormuz, which (b) could disrupt world oil markets, enriching Russia and penalizing most everyone else?
Who, indeed, except EVERYONE WHO HAS EVER THOUGHT FOR ONE MINUTE about the situation.
Ukraine has now helped the US, Israel, and the Gulf states protect civilians from Iranian drone strikes. As a special thank you, the US spoke to Putin and told him he's doing a great job in his invasion of Ukraine and lifted some sanctions on Russia. Great partnership.
NEW: A recently developed Defense Department program was meant to reduce civilian harm during military operations.
But months before the Iran war, the mission was dissolved as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made “lethality” a top priority.

BREAKING: Major escalation in Iran conflict.
Iranian military command says it will target US banks and financial institutions in the Middle East.

A quiet contradiction is unfolding in Washington. War with Iran… while cutting pieces of the government machinery that supports those efforts.
That tension deserves a closer look.

A ”perfect storm” with skyrocketing oil prices, reduced availability of more expensive fertilizers, and no help from migrant workers are hitting American farmers as planting and seed time approaches.
tariffs happening for no reason and theyre making your life worse, secret police kidnapping people for no reason and making your life worse, firing thousands of government employees for no reason and making your life worse, going to war with iran for no reason and making your life worse
Per CNN: Russia is providing Iran with advanced drone tactics and targeting of US targets (per western intelligence sources).

Our analysis, which shows that more women nearly bled to death during miscarriage after Texas banned abortion, adds to a growing body of reporting revealing that maternal outcomes have gotten worse under bans.

"Newly released [video of ICE goons killing a man in TX last yr] calls into question assertions by [goons] that a driver intentionally rammed an agent with his car immediately before he was killed"
Of course it does, these MFers are notorious liars.

Netanyahu has tried for years to get a US president to go along with his desire for a war with Iran. He finally found one. Then he used chemical weapons on Lebanon. This man is committing war crimes and igniting hatred that will start more killings and destruction everywhere.
The President of the United States is a pedophile, and the military has no problem with double-tapping a school in Iran, killing mostly children. If this isn't an indictment of the moral nihilism of this era, I don't know what the fuck is.
I know it feels like the day-to-day intensity of the ICE occupation in Minnesota has calmed down, but there are so many lagging problems that need solving, right as people’s attention goes elsewhere. Financial assistance, like help with rent, and legal help for the detained. These horrors persist.
