Here's me. 'Nazi oligarchs have seized treasury control of an authoritarian White House and everyone seems kinda chill about it'

GOP Senators and House members are scared of being murdered by Trump supporters if they don’t support Trump. This is fascism in America. My latest: www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...

Here’s another troubling development in the US. The Trump/Musk regime is now moving on the National Archives.

Here’s the history of the ideology underpinning the actions of the Trump/Musk regime and the Project 2025 policies. When you know the rationale, it makes a kind of horrible sense. www.notesfromthecircus.com/p/the-plot-a...

Don't just ask how Musk/Trump actions serve their supposed purposes. Ask how they aid the attempt to seize power paulkrugman.substack.com/p/autogolpe

All in plain sight. Please share this image with your friends, family, colleagues - in your messaging groups, on your FB! There's nothing we can do about the US, but there's a lot we can do to make sure it doesn't happen to us - especially in an election year. Time to step up! #auspol

Australian voters, Coles and Woolworths have joined forces with Kmart and Costco to publicly support the ARA's application to the Fair Work Commission to scrap overtime, evening and weekend penalty rates, and work breaks. If this goes through it will be used as a precedent everywhere. #AusVotes2025

Trump just took 500 Marines on standby to help with escalating California wildfires and sent them to the border instead, where migrant crossings have been at the lowest level they’ve been in years since July. Unbelievable. And apparently armed, which is new. This is a disaster waiting to happen.

“Trump hasn’t just killed the OECD’s weak tax reforms, he’s effectively threatening to scrap everything built over the last century and to take the world back to ‘robber baron’-era tax policies." Fantastic analysis from @taxjusticenet.bsky.social taxjustice.net/press/trump-...

I am a (climate) scientist AND a speculative fiction writer and I can tell you that our future is already clear Institute of Actuaries report forecasts 25% GDP fall and 2 billion dead if 2C breached by 2050 (it could be as soon as 2034) Then it get really bad www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This will get almost no attention. It fucking should though. The combustion of coal, oil and gas is killing one of the most remarkable and important places on the planet before our eyes, and most people are looking away instead.

No bones about it: the LNP are the Australian fascist movement.

So it's dangerous for China to have the ability to access our data and manipulate us via social media apps. But it's okay for America's billionaires to have the ability to access our data and manipulate us via social media apps. Do I have this right?

More than 20 per cent of all climate and environment protests in Australia involve arrests, more than three times the global average. Australia's arrest rate was the highest of 14 countries in the global study.” This is what #StateCapture looks like. www.abc.net.au/news/2024-12...

In 2014, Finland introduced an initiative aimed at providing digital literacy education to all its citizens, from pre-school age onwards. It now ranks #1 out of 41 countries on a media literacy index measuring public resilience to fake news and misinformation campaigns. Wonder how we’d rate. #auspol

Israel is committing genocide in Palestine. Children, women, men, journalists, doctors; 100s of thousands slaughtered. Nearly all Western journalists are lying to you about this. Australia is allied with both the genocidal state and its American funders. Free Palestine. Melbourne. 29 Dec, 2024.

Remember a month into the war on Gaza, when every official state organ and every person of letters was shocked and horrified at the very idea that the most moral army in the world would consider targeting a hospital

This is a profound piece which should be required reading for all climate activists trying to foster international cooperation on climate. The debt-politics-climate doom loop was sadly in full display at #COP29 theconversation.com/a-doom-loop-...

New piece. A long deep dive piece into the reasons beyond the punditry and headlines as to why Harris and Democrats as a whole failed in 2024. I firmly believe this is about far more existential, psychological, and structural reasons than it has been depicted as. Here’s why.

Here's my latest piece for The Shot @shotau.bsky.social on Aust's political IQ ".... with the election of Babet, certainly Pauline Hanson must have been relieved to relinquish her reigning senate title as Most Likely To Confuse Themselves With A Push-Pull Door." 😎 theshot.net.au/uncategorize...

The people of South Korea didn't wait, they showed up. Immediately.

Earth is headed towards climate catastrophe. As @djspratt.bsky.social points out, “transformative political leadership is now the key element in preventing societal collapse”. Meanwhile, our politicians remain wedded to neoliberalism and opinion polls. #auspol - johnmenadue.com/climate-poli...

“Politics isn’t about politics any more”. Lots of people are angry about being left behind by end stage capitalism. They’ll follow politicians who help them express their rage and hold out hope through simple solutions. Progressive Aust politicians take note. #auspol bylinetimes.com/2024/11/11/t...
