I'm so happy Peter Dutton won't be our Prime Minister but I loathe the ritual humiliation that party leaders must endure when they lose. The expected speech that he is so struggling to deliver now will be hell for him and his family. As the kid of a politician, I know these nights are so tough.

The most disheartening thing about tonight's election result in Australia is that people still seem to have voted about self-interest – it's about what happened to their superannuation balances due to Trump tariff craziness. Not because they didn't want the cruelty of a right wing government.

on a night like this, I miss Twitter, so much.

Yes… important story … great work Tim.

Wow. Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum officially recognizes Palestine as a state. Here she welcomes Palestinian ambassador Nadya Rasheed. Sheinbaum is Jewish, supports Palestinian self-determination, & unapologetically condemns Netanyahu's attacks on Gaza. Historic & inspiring leadership. ❤️✊🏽

How do billionaires make their money? They steal. All 5 of my novels have been used to train Zuckerberg’s AI and I’ve received nothing.

My dear friend’s niece, who in October developed sepsis when a Georgia hospital refused her a D&C after a miscarriage, will be taken off life support tomorrow. I don’t know the names of the countless others who have suffered and will suffered because of anti-abortion laws. But her name was Haley.

How gorgeous is this. 🐝

Around 35% of SpaceX’s revenue comes directly from the federal govt. Less than 1% of NPR’s budget comes from the federal govt.

Trump is not going to leave in 4 years. People should accept this. He's telling you again and again.

Even I didn't think the concentration camps would start in week 2.

Anyone who works in or near anything resembling "mainstream media", or who relies on it in any way, or who still believes in the importance of that funny old-fashioned concept of it as the "fourth estate", must read this now, from @ryanhatesthis.bsky.social ...

Wow. This is something

Weep for the world, and then quickly commit to strategic action to ensure Dutton & his backers lose enough seats to community independents to keep them out of power. #Climate209 www.smh.com.au/world/north-...

We lost our home and everything we own in the Eaton Canyon fire. Climate change is real and it’s a bitch.

Dear journalists, if you're writing/publishing/broadcasting about the Los Angeles wildfires and you don't mention the role of #climate change, you're not doing your full job.

Thank you Greg Mullins, ex NSW fire commissioner & my ild Forest High school mate for naming climate change as one of the major causes behind these catastrophic fires in LA IN WINTER on abc news.

$1,131,794,901 That's how much Big Oil has spent over the last 30 years paying off Congress to look the other way on climate action while the planet burns. Well, the planet is burning. Don't let them look away.

I am a climate scientist and this is correct ⬇️

I’ve been in insurance nearly 28 years. I sat in my first presentation on climate change and insurance impacts in about 1997, in my induction week.

People who say they don't care about/take any notice of politics are naïve.

“As an editorial cartoonist, my job is to hold powerful people and institutions accountable. For the first time, my editor prevented me from doing that job.

This is the face Scott and Jenny Morrison choose to pull when standing next to a man they know for a fact is an adjudicated rapist who makes remarks about grabbing women’s vulvas. #Matthew23:27-28

i used to naively think that australians would only pay serious attention to climate change after it started impacting the barrier reef (and the vast associated tourism industry) but now i realise there’s literally nothing that’s so appalling that it cannot be ignored

Good grief!
