Renewables surpass coal power globally. This is why bad actor politicians, One Nation, etc, are going into hyperdrive. Their puppet masters, fossil fuels, are increasingly desperate. It’s why the lies are even more extreme — and even more obvious…

"Amid all the political punditry about the One Nation win in Farrer, it’s important not to lose sight of the fact that, for those on the receiving end of One Nation’s grievance politics, this all feels really personal." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

If you seriously think the Greens are like Reform, and Polanski like Farage, you’re either certifiable or know nothing about politics at all. Or you’re simply lying.

Commissioner Bell challenges Frydenberg-led Dor Foundation CEO Tahli Blicblau on credibility of their research questioning if they ignore fact that spikes in antisemitism coincide with Israel’s wars, calls out Dor’s surveys that use “Zionism” as “proxy for being a Jew”💥 #auspol

It's so disgusting and wrong how acceptable Islamophobia is. Media is full of it and it's never questioned, never seen as damaging to social cohesion.

These are actual Freedom Riders, now elderly, sitting together decades after risking their lives to challenge segregation in the American South. On May 4, 1961, they rode buses south to defy illegal segregation in terminal facilities.

Establishment parties want to swing the doors wide open for corporate lobbyists. The BC Greens will close the doors on the corporate class and open them for the working class.

The other notable aspect of that #abc730 story was the automatic and unexamined association of anti-genocide pro-Palestine protests with antisemitism. Complete with a snippet of Grace Tame leading a chant, it was almost the perfect Murdoch hit piece.

Pure Israeli propaganda piece on antisemitism on #ABC730 they keep referring to the ‘war in Gaza’ and not the ongoing genocide in Gaza by Israel. Not a mention of the murderous IDF assisted occupation in the West Bank. Nothing on the same war crimes occurring now in Lebanon. Outrageous.

For the love of God, vote Green!

I feel like everyday I read a new thing that doesn’t seem possible based on what they educated us at school about. Most of my senior high school years were learning about climate change and pollution and salinity and and and why even teach us all that

Parents of Aussie humanitarian Zach Schofield have slammed the govt’s “silence” and questioned why they haven’t “publicly condemned” the illegal kidnapping of their son & other Aussies “by our so-called ally, Israel.” Whose side is the govt on here? #auspol

Today’s SCOTUS ruling is a betrayal of our basic democratic values as a country—turning back the clock on hard-won civil rights victories. This isn’t just about Louisiana; this will have nationwide impacts on Congressional districting and voter representation for generations.

A Supreme Court so fundamentally hostile to the rights of minority voters places the Court at odds with democracy itself. This is the legacy of Chief Justice John Roberts. I opposed his nomination back in 2005, and I stand by that.

Rage is the right response. So is action. Register voters. Show up. Fight back. Black Americans have been saving this democracy for 400 years. The least the rest of us can do is show up for it. @esglaude.bsky.social
