โ€˜They 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.

โ€œI think what stood out most is the deliberateness and intentionality over the years of pushing plastic into our lives,โ€ said @bethgardiner.bsky.social. โ€œIt was such a shock."

US strikes on Iran โ€˜outside 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 ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ 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?

Right wing Catholic apologetics.

We are not the Catholic Taliban, like Fuentes says.

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.

Itโ€™s not that they donโ€™t 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 Americaโ€™s teachers โ€” a whopping 71% โ€” have at least one side job because theyโ€™re so underpaid.

Meanwhile, the country is about to be launched into a long, drawn-out war that has already cost an estimated $2 billion.

Priorities.

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
