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."
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..."

This administration is committing Watergate level crimes multiple times per week—and those are the ones we know about. It’s crazy to think about what else will come out after.
It’s absolutely essential these criminals are held responsible for their crimes. We must end elite impunity.
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)
Difficult times call for cooperation and dialogue. But our voting system keeps giving total power to parties that only a fraction of voters support.
On 30% of the vote, one party could win full control of our economy, health, foreign policy and defence.
We can't take that risk.
Kim: The vast majority of what I hear in these classified briefings can be said publicly, but they intentionally do this to as a tactic to be able to prevent the American people from hearing and questioning what it is that they're doing.
They know that the American people do not want a war

JUST IN:
As many as 150 U.S. troops have been wounded in the 10-day-old war with Iran, two people familiar with the matter told Reuters on Tuesday.
FBI met with Trump’s 13-year-old accuser 4 times. Reporters independently verified her account using court records, archives, and newspapers.
The White House called her ‘sadly disturbed.’
The DOJ says they “accidentally’ withheld her files.

Flashback to the 2024 Republican National Convention 👇🏽
Also known as "using insider knowledge for war profiteering."
White House: the witness’s allegations are “completely baseless” and “backed by zero credible evidence.”
Fact: FBI found her credible enough to interview repeatedly, and she received a financial settlement from the Epstein estate.
NARRATOR: Iran has NO tomahawk missiles.
Images published by Iranian state media show remnants of a US Tomahawk missile at a girls’ school in Minab.
It’s not possible to independently verify the provenance of the remnants from this imagery alone. But Bellingcat previously detailed how a Tomahawk missile hit a structure next to the school.
If you are watching Trump's presser right now, you are seeing beyond reasonable doubt a person not mentally suited for any position of responsibility. Even running a small store.
GOP members of the House and Senate: You are seeing this too.
Two brothers from South Texas and their high school mariachi bandmates were recognized by their congresswoman last June for winning a state mariachi competition. Nine months later, the brothers, along with their parents and younger brother, are in ICE detention and facing deportation.
On March 8, at the direction of #SOUTHCOM commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations. Intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations. Six male narco-terrorists were killed during this action. No U.S. military forces were harmed. @DeptofWar #OpSouthernSpear UNCLASSIFIED
We’re still murdering people in “drug boats” even as we start a new war in Iran. Six people today.
Axios reports that Trump wants to seize Kharg Island to grab Iranian uranium stockpiles. But Kharg Island houses 90% plus of Iran's export petroleum, and that's what Trump really wants. www.axios.com/2026/03/08/i...
don’t forget to destroy your clocks tonight, walk away from your mortgage, just start driving, you’re free
I think it's important to point out the rest of the world knows we're a major petro state who just started a record breaking amount of drilling contracts and that not only is this kind of action horrifyingly cruel, it's also to raise the price of our own oil for sale in the chaos for profit.
Pentagon finally admits something we all damn well knew. Yeah, the US did this.

From Trump to Noem to Hegseth and beyond, we are being governed by a party of perverts who are set on making their own psychosexual derangements into policy

Never forget.
just a reminder that there is actually a very good reason that Noem should have already been fired over the $220 million ad campaign which she made the mistake of telling everyone Trump approved, but whatever works i guess

Skip down to the "what's the authority for this?" section and it's pretty hilarious. tl;dr Congress said that DOJ attorneys had to follow state bar rules but because they didn't say state bars could MAKE them then the only person who can punish them is their boss who told them to violate the rules.
Seriously, aim your fucks at a republican, a non voter or a third party voter cause aiming your fucks at Black women is a choice that speaks VOLUMES about you as a person, none of it good. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...
