Congress punts on the PRESS Act but prioritizes D.C.’s effort to get the NFL team back downtown. Ridiculous.
We need a federal shield law for journalists — now. The Washington Commanders can wait.

@mynameistillian @lashman The other side never cares. In a oppressive system, mass nonviolent movement is harder to beat than violent actions.
@lashman I disagree. Violence is one of the things that powerful is unmatched. We can't win in this game. Nonviolence is the only way.
@PirjaPaa Yeah. Without accountability they won't change their behavior.
@postpunky Non-reusable or single-use plastics are less durable and as the name suggests, are meant for single use. They are discarded after it's used and only small portion of it is recycled.

On both cases, human responsibility is paramount on producing less waste.
@postpunky Yeah.
After 2 years, Coca-Cola’s promise to scale up reusable packaging is dead.

Another negotiation. Another failure to protect nature and humanity.
„Countries negotiating a global treaty to curb plastic pollution have failed to reach an agreement, with more than 100 nations advocating for a cap on plastic production and a handful of oil-producing countries only willing to target plastic waste.“
