Good idea: end government purchase of single use plastic
https://phys.org/news/2024-07-phase-federal-plastics.html
President Joe Biden's administration on Friday announced plans to phase out single-use plastics in all federal operations by 2035, as part of a broader effort to combat what it deemed a rising global crisis.
Since the US federal government is the single largest buyer of goods and services in the world, the decision could have a significant impact on global markets, spurring industries to develop new products and reducing the planet-warming emissions associated with plastic manufacturing

After nine months of genocidal violence in Gaza, Benjamin Netanyahu received a standing ovation from the United States congress as he described the slaughter of over 40,000 Palestinians as "a clash between barbarism and civilization" and promised US politicians that "our victory will be your victory."
Regardless of political affiliation, those who justify US support for the genocide in Gaza and identify with the militarized colonial project behind it are doing more to pave the way for fascism than Donald Trump or his supporters could ever do alone. By cheerleading these atrocities, they are normalizing the kind of bigotry and brutality that are essential to authoritarianism.

What is done to others today could be done to us tomorrow. Fighting for the lives of Palestinians is a way of fighting for freedom everywhere.
