โThey pushed so many lies about recyclingโ: the fight to stop big oil pumping billions more into plastics
Plastic production has doubled over the last 20 years โ and will likely double again. For author Beth Gardiner, metal water bottles and canvas tote bags are not the solution. So what is?
Trying to use less plastic?
Big Oil and the plastics industry are spending billions to make sure everyone else uses more.
โI think what stood out most is the deliberateness and intentionality over the years of pushing plastic into our lives,โ said @bethgardiner.bsky.social. โIt was such a shock."

US strikes on Iran โoutside international law,โ says Macron
Macron joins Spanish PM Pedro Sรกnchez in calling the legality of the strikes into question.
After four days of hesitating, the president of France has joined the prime minister of Spain in saying that the ๐บ๐ธ๐ฎ๐ฑ attack on Iran is a violation of international law.
But they are still the only 2 EU leaders to have done so. Will others join?

The Leonard Leo Catholic Taliban - 6 Supremes, JD, Rubio, RFK, Homan and nearly 40% of trump cabinet. As Brian Burch, Homan and JD instructed Pope Leo, he is wrong and it is a MAGA Catholic moment in US history.

Itโs not that they donโt know. They are afraid. Many DC reporters have told me Leonard Leo and Russell Vought are the two most dangerous people in politics. They are behind the scenes pulling the strings and have been for years. But try getting someone to talk about them. Not happening.

The majority of Americaโs teachers โ a whopping 71% โ have at least one side job because theyโre so underpaid.
Meanwhile, the country is about to be launched into a long, drawn-out war that has already cost an estimated $2 billion.

The recent Decision of the United States Supreme Court concerning TARIFFS could allow for Hundreds of Billions of Dollars to be returned to Countries and Companies that have been โripping offโ the United States of America for many years to come, and now, according to this Decision, could actually continue to do so, at an even increased level. I am sure that the Supreme Court did not have this in mind! It doesnโt make sense that Countries and Companies that took advantage of us for decades, receiving Billions and Billions of Dollars that they should not have been allowed to receive, would now be entitled to an undeserved โwindfall,โ the likes of which the World has never seen before, as a result of this highly disappointing, to say the least, ruling. Is a Rehearing or Readjudication of this case possible??? PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP
Trump on the Supreme Court's tariffs ruling: "Is a Rehearing or Readjudication of this case possible???"

if you believe in any form of free enterprise at all, the idea that the Pentagon can not only cut off your contract but designate you a supply chain risk and prevent other companies from buying from you just because you won't build killbots for the government should be terrifying
