🇺🇦 Poland Cancels Presidential Meeting with Orbán After His Visit to Putin. For Warsaw, this is more than a scheduling change. It is a diplomatic message to Hungary: Europe cannot speak of unity while one of its leaders courts a war criminal in the Kremlin.

Oil & gas companies pivoting from petroleum as fuel to petroleum as plastics have “spent millions of dollars lying to the public, trying to get them to believe that [you can] just recycle your plastic and everything will be fine,” Beyond Plastics president and former EPA official. Sadly, it's a lie.

Quick FYI for architects of crimes against humanity: a legal pardon is forgiveness that releases an individual from the penalties & consequences of a crime. Netanyahu can't be pardoned if he won't admit guilt. He's seeking condonation, affirmation, an immoral and undeserved free pass for bad deeds.
