I'm not sure if you could come up with a more perfect anti-Trump message for the Treatlerite age than "America deserves a refund"

"...once you try to make “values” enforceable, you shift the debate from criminality (already covered by law) to culture; from behaviour to belonging. And “belonging” is where politicians go shopping for scapegoats." #Auspol

Plans for one of Australia’s biggest solar-battery hybrid projects have been waved through the federal #EPBC queue just one month after joining it.

A South Australian trial to turn homes into grid-responsive #energy hubs is now 100 households in, and has some brutal lessons to share.

Obscure candidate hack: self-fund your campaign with $3.3 million and become the “top fundraiser” in your race, then just cut yourself a check for $1.67 million back

One of the things that personally drives me crazy in the U.S. is how youth sports/athletic activities went from a part of the public good (municipal leagues and fields! rec centers! public parks!) to a privatized, expensive, highly competitive, highly structured pursuit for wealthy kids’ résumés

This post is going around again so I will add this excellent resource: leavesubstack.com

Don't verify. Don't give them anything.

"The charm offensive took place from at least 2008 to 2016, a period during which authorities in the U.S. Virgin Islands have said he was sexually abusing girls and young women on his island." www.nytimes.com/2026/02/19/u...

NEW: Jeffrey Epstein cultivated relationships with CBP officers at the airports he frequented. Epstein emailed and texted with six CBP officers, invited them to his island, visited with them at the airport, and frequently sought to determine who was going to be on duty when he was traveling

Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647. open.substack.com/pub/jkbjourn...

#Auspol How did the IPA end up as toxic as it is? That started at a Mont Pelerin Society Meeting in HK78 when the older think tank (1943) swallowed the proper neoliberal kool aid. Also explains Hawke as the start of Thatchering Australia. reason.com/1978/12/01/m... www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/xildf...

More of this, please. The folks in this grassroots group are heroes. Haven Watch lives by the promise, “No One Walks Alone.” Day or night, they show up. When people are released from ICE detention, volunteers meet them in the cold, disoriented, and exhausted. Beautiful and devastating all at once.

@rikiwilchins.bsky.social Poll shows rise of Christian Nationalism, now the governing philosophy of the Rep party, with 56% of Reps being either "adherents" or "sympathizers" of idea US founded as "Promised Land" for white European Christians which should be governed by Scriptural principles.

the overseer of project 2025 is telling you out loud that every inch you cede on trans rights is part of the plan to create a white christian fascist state

I’m sorry, but if we hold everyone in the Epstein files accountable for their involvement and punish each one for their crimes to the fullest extent, we will begin to collapse a long-standing system that has only given power to elitist excrement and I don’t see a motherfucking problem with this

The SAVE act would only disproportionately affect Republican voters if the Trump administration enforces the law equally everywhere Under this administration, laws are not rules that apply to everyone, they are weapons to be used against their enemies

Once again, the AI boom is pushing everyone deeper into building new fossil fuel infrastructure. The sooner this bubble pops, the better. I hope it buries every dipwad who's pushing it for good. This is happening in a town of 10000 people, BTW. Just dropping a 1000 job campus on a tiny community.

it drives you insane how much erosion of freedom is justified by concern for kids when the people who actually hurt them will never face consequences

despite what this post may say: this is not a walkback. this is a reiteration. we already knew this information. do not fall for unwise propaganda. keep the pressure on, financially or verbally. barrage them.

Kinda Fucked Up that in our lifetimes we've gone from "never share personal info on the internet" to "hand over your identity to the most incompetent corporations imaginable".

Discord is already starting to walk things back a little, so people should keep doing what they're doing (cancel Nitro, leave feedback/criticism, direct contact through support tickets/phone/email/etc)
