English commentators need to stop analysing Northern Ireland through an English lens! When you see anti-immigrant riots in Belfast, Ballymena or Larne and immediately reach for "Britain's far-right problem", you're missing half the story. This isn't just racism. It's loyalist terrorism. 1/

The wealthiest people’s investments are more harmful to the climate than their lifestyles. World’s richest 0.01% causing US$992bn climate damage each year. Same elites buy govts, media. Cost of damage borne by others. Inequality kills. Polluter must pay. Tax wealth.

The further Putinisation of America. Stuck in a stupid war of choice he is losing, and with no clear strategy, the Dear Leader resorts to war crimes.

The more people desperately defend Graham Platner using obscure facts, the more I worry about an October surprise.

"It is a cruel, callous and sneering insult to the victims of Robodebt that the Commissioner, the Deputy Commissioners and the CEO of the NACC have spent more on their taxpayer funded luxury travel in one 24-hour period than some Robodebt victims were pursued to their grave for."

Scorched Earth policy. You would think the media would be all over this sort of crime, and they would, if they weren't complicit in the destruction of America. Same happening in Aus, with science being refunded and rational voices silenced.

My two faves, Ceylon Afternoon Tea and Orange Pekoe (which turned out to be their only Ceylon teas, which surprised me) have both disappeared in the past month. I'll probably switch to Dilmah while I can, but this comes after we lost Nerada Australian tea so who knows what we'll end up with.

As you've noticed, News Corp have jumped on the One Nation bandwagon. I wonder if Lib Nats are dirty about this? Here is my analysis about how News Corp did the same thing when Trump radicalised Republican Party. They have form on mainstreaming the far right! independentaustralia.net/politics/pol...

Here's a short clip of Amyl and the Sniffers performing in DC tonight. Sorry for the crappy quality. I am short.

In case you weren't aware, One Nation's health 'policy' is just 65 words (lol) with no costings and a vague promise to increase numbers of health professionals in the regions. How they plan to do that when they seem to want to stop immigration is beyond me 🤷‍♀️

www.ecoportal.net/en/solar-far... 23775/ This is the fourth article I’ve seen in a week about solar farms boosting biodiversity and/or helping agriculture. Solar is really proving to be a win-win solution #Conservation

#AtlasNetwork is how fossil corps ExxonMobil, Shell etc manipulate public opinion (🐂💩climate science\reality denial, neoliberal economics, racist ‘culture wars’) & capture govts. So clearly illustrated in NZ. With 90% hydropower, NZ could easily achieve 💯% clean energy & independence with ☀️💨🪫🔋+EVs.

Heck yeah, of course I did this! I let them know I didn't want a triumphal arch that commemorates no victories and means nothing other than to stroke the ego of a man-child playing with his toy city. @hcrichardson.bsky.social, perhaps folks who follow you might also want to chime in? Closes 6/15.

It's been a while so I thought I should check in with how our old friends Santos and Woodside are doing...

An estimated 3.4 million to 5 million Americans lost their health insurance this year because apparently that was wasteful.

The FBI raided and arrested eight people Wednesday morning in connection with their alleged pro-Palestine advocacy at the University of Michigan

My bill allowing people to use plug-in solar (“balcony solar”) just passed a key Assembly committee. Plug-in solar is a low cost device that generates a limited amount of solar energy to power your home, reduce the amount of electricity you draw from the grid & thus lower your bill. 🧵

@bagleycartoons.bsky.social nails it again...

Now that it has been made over into a partisan institution the court needs to be rebalanced.

Watch as Andrew Yang joins the Equity podcast to talk about his startup Noble Mobile, which pays you to use your phone less, ways to combat the “attention economy,” and what startups can do when the government won't move. 

I have been using heliboard for years now, the android keyboard that is completely offline. No doubt most android users are still using gboard, on their stock google android phones, connected to their google account, via their gmail address. apple users hate choice and thought, so can be ignored.

The best moments of the last year have been when people have said to me, ‘I saw when you got arrested, and that’s the day I signed up to go court watching.’ I hope people will keep signing up and showing up. (4/5)

“The report also demonstrates – contrary to what too many in the international community suggest – that the campaign is not the product of “rogue” settlers or “extremist” government ministers. In other words, settler violence is not an aberration but an integral part of an organized state policy.”

“And the organisations that support them” A lie. If we were sanctioning the organisations that support them we’d have sanctioned the entire Israeli government, and the Zionist ‘Jewish charities’ in Australia that send tens of millions directly to settler-terrorist outposts.

1/ I have to correct some misinformation here. The stakes are too high. We aren’t going bankrupt. It's a totally unfounded and incendiary suggestion, especially for a news outlet to make. Also, they’re fundraising for themselves off of our bruises? Oof. Mercenary in the guise of being supportive.

Woke this morning to hear some Liberals were considering merging with One Racists. Reminded me of the booming voice of Labor Legend Dick Adams interjecting during uproar in the Parliament when he said .. “Who’s running this raffle?”

You can find Planet America on youtube

1. The Iranians told Trump to make Israel stop bombing Lebanon as a condition of 'peace'. 2. Israel bombs Lebanon harder and every day because they plan on creating another Gaza there. 3. The US media and their orange overlord whine about Iran "dragging their feet" and not "making a deal".

This guy is such a better representation of the US and of Americans than the current president. A hype man welcoming others from around the world while carrying a pistol? That’s as American as apple pie

That's all we need in the age of Trump..
