‘They pushed so many lies about recycling’: the fight to stop big oil pumping billions more into plastics Plastic production has doubled over the last 20 years – and will likely double again. For author Beth Gardiner, metal water bottles and canvas tote bags are not the solution. So what is?

Last year, Palantir made $1.5 billion in U.S. income. Their federal income tax bill? Zero. @purgepalantir.bsky.social @fightforthefuture.org

The AI surveillance state is real — and it's being built by Palantir. The Most Dangerous Corporation in America?

Palantir Technologies raked in $1.5 BILLION in income last year — including from lucrative taxpayer-funded DHS contracts — and paid ZERO federal income tax.

It's fast becoming the most dangerous and least accountable corporation in America. https://youtu.be/x_VwyhErd88?si=RCrKYNu1bMlNhU0G

In other news, the CA Billionaire Tax Now campaign kicked off in LA.

@sanders.senate.gov @tommorelloofficial.bsky.social & more are supporting a one-time 5% wealth tax on CA billionaires to make up for Trump’s billionaire backed healthcare cuts.

Here’s our national press coordinator covering it:

There are non US citizens influencing our elections, they’re called corporations.

The establishment wants us to not focus on this.

The heads of Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, and Tesla all joined Trump at his inauguration.

Since then, largely thanks to Trump's Big Ugly Bill, their companies have reaped $51B in federal tax breaks — paid for by huge cuts to our social safety net.

This is what oligarchy looks like.

Valentine’s Day “Sin Amor” for ICE and Trump Valentine’s Day was the one-year anniversary of weekly protests outside the Tesla showroom, where demonstrators called to “Take Down Trump” in denouncing and lamenting the erosion of constitutional freedoms, the weakening of democratic norms, and a continued shift toward autocratic rule.

Regulations are what keeps ordinary Americans healthy and, often, alive.

It took spoiled meat and rodent droppings out of our food. It took harmful lead out of our gasoline and paint. It took poison out of our water.

Deregulation only achieves one goal: making rich corporations richer.

Today, #12Feb2026, the US government chose profits over people.

Demand Senators vote NO on funding for ICE

Members of Congress have until this Friday, February 13, to decide the DHS budget for the rest of the year. Demand your Senators vote NO on funding for ICE.

Trump's big, ugly budget megabill gives ICE more agents than the FBI, more jails than the federal Bureau of Prisons, and a larger budget than most countries' militaries.

It does this by stripping food away from children, the disabled, and the working poor.

Not one more penny.

“When Citizens United was decided in 2010, billionaires had spent $18 million on the 2000 election, $13M 2004 and $16M in 2008. Then came the deluge. In 2012 it was $231M, and nearly doubled again in next three election cycles —to $682M in 2016, $1.2 billion in 2020 and $2.6 billion in 2024.” Gift:

ICE Is Expanding Across the US at Breakneck Speed. Here’s Where It’s Going Next ICE plans to lease offices throughout the US as part of a secret, months-long expansion campaign. WIRED is publishing dozens of these locations.

NEW: ICE has a plan to lease offices across the US as part of a secret, months-long expansion campaign.

Today, @wired.com is publishing dozens of those locations. Many are near schools, medical offices, and places of worship.

Vital work from @leahfeiger.bsky.social that I'm proud to publish.

@allinwithchris.bsky.social, @jenpsaki.bsky.social, @maddow.bsky.social 3 years & 162 days left before we expend the 1.5C Global Carbon Budget, which means 1.5C of global heating is locked in and global tipping points will be crossed. How many years before you start reporting on the Climate Crisis?

I am so constantly angry. THIS IS NOT OKAY!

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

Jeff Bezos’s wealth has increased an average of $70 million every day of 2026, meaning that he could have offset The Post’s losses with what he’s made since Monday.
