This is really bad! First - it seems some kind of monitoring and/or database is being kept on community independent volunteers - and then there's the refusal to serve a constituent based on their political views. This is REALLY bad!!! #auspol

Oh my god the absolute depravity of this.

Wild times as we welcome back today’s arrestees. We closed the port today #RisingTide

These #RisingTide activists are amazing.

Mina Bui Jones is a resident of the Hunter Valley region that is overly reliant on the boom and bust of coal prices. She was arrested this afternoon with #RisingTide, demanding a 78% tax on coal exports to help fund a just transition away from the dangerous fossil fuel economy 💚

this derives directly from the legitimising “ethical ai use” discourse, the white centrism of ai, of weak and gutless FOMO driven managers, who fucking REFUSE to prioritise student learning and the actual planet ahead of a self-serving careerism that involves subsidising pervert billionaires.

We want a 78% tax on coal exports to help fund a just transition away from the fossil fuel economy. #flotilla

To recap—Trump pardoned Juan Orlando Hernández, who was convicted of receiving millions in bribes & partnering with cocaine traffickers to flood American streets with drugs, but to protect American streets from being flooded with drugs, he has to mass murder innocent fisherman with impunity. Got it

What a great headline

Research revealed that switching from animal farming to plant-based agroforestry in Brazil can more than double rural producers' income. 🧑‍🌾 #brazil #farming #farmer #animalfarming #agroforestry

Anyway. Keep your eyes peeled for the 13 exajoules (!!!!!!!) of reductions in energy demand thanks to "AI", I'm sure they're right around the corner

I think this decision is wrong. Hundreds of Ukrainian athletes will never be able to compete because they gave their lives defending Ukraine against Russia's war of aggression. Source: ijf.org/news/show/spor…

AUTOGLASS REPAIR, AUTOGLASS REPLACE

Funny it is always brown people or poor people ( or both) who get these installations.

"Imagine you stole all of the intellectual property in the world. And you're using it to help people write middling emails and make revenge porn about women, and also children. And you're powering this plagiarism and non-consensual porn machine by eating up what's left of humanity's carbon budget."

👀 New reporting says Trump’s team knew their ❝drug boat❞ killing spree might be illegal, shrugged off CIA and Pentagon lawyers who said so, gutted the NSC legal shop, and just kept hunting for friendlier legal cover while more than 80 people were blown out of the water.

It's that time of year when Americans set up quaint, walkable Christmas villages in their living rooms, dreaming of living in such a cozy place. ​Meanwhile, they'll show up to city council meetings to fiercely oppose any plan that would actually build that kind of car-lite community in real life.

This should be taken as pretty solid universal advice for just about anything you're trying to do. Instead of using AI, build and sustain real friendships instead. www.wired.com/story/google...

SunCable seems to have pivoted away from helping to push coal and gas out of power grids and instead powering big tech's persistent energy waste addiction begging you to ask: why are we doing any of this? Is it to Build More Solar Panels or is it to protect life from the threat of fossil fuels?

To everyone saying that people in our military already know not to follow unlawful orders, how do you explain almost 100 civilians murdered on fishing boats in the Caribbean so far?

The US has no credibility left to make or suggest plans for any other nation's future, let alone its own future.

Accelerating the dismantling of science- and evidence-based public health to the detriment of us all.

More than 3,350 people in Gaza have experienced major burns. Nine-year-old Elham Abu Hajjaj is among them.

Today is Trans Day of Remembrance. Since 31st October 2024, at least 340 trans people have lost their lives to anti-trans violence, or suicide. Transphobia kills. Please be an ally every day. tdor.translivesmatter.info/reports?from...

“GenerativeAI isn’t magic. It’s the product of millions of invisible creators—poets, coders, photographers, musicians—whose work has been harvested, scraped, & absorbed into AI models without consent or compensation… This is not innovation. It is expropriation.” —Otti Vogt

Better approve some more gas fields and coal mines.

❗️Poland will withdraw consent (close down) the Russian consulate in Gdansk as a response to the sabotage incidents on the railroad - FM Sikorski. This is the last remaining Russian consulate in Poland. The previous ones, in Poznan and Krakow, were closes as responses to earlier acts of sabotage.

Since I’m back here and the government is currently gutting scientific research, it would be marvellous if we could round this total up to $40k for the Menzies Centre and Albo can bite his bum. pointtopinnacle2025.grassrootz.com/menzies-inst...

The slow degradation of the CSIRO is music to the ears of fossil fuel industry groups.... the government works for them. not us.

NSW Premier says he does not apologise for [yet more] hate speech laws - the first three versions did not, on any measure, reduce racism in NSW - after NSW Police chose not to criminalise any of the nazis chanting nazi slogans at NSW Parliament on 8 Nov 2025. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

I'm loving Ed Unleashed

The ban is bad policy and it's clear not enough has been done to prepare young people and their families about what is about to happen. Where are the education packages and support that were promised? Just telling kids to log off and go touch grass is not going to cut it!

Calling Labor's current approach "incrementalism" or "small target" or whatever makes it sound like they are are an overly cautious progressive govt. Matters like this show that they are actively pursuing policies that make them indistinguishable from the centre right: not incrementalists at all.

Australia’s greatest ally

A government that can’t bring itself to tax fossil fuel, big tech or any wealth properly but defunds its critical institutions is not a good government, sorry

One of my favorite bike lane protests: 1) Clearly demonstrates the issue 2) Proposes a systemic solution 3) Creates content that can be spread and shared easily 4) Does so with humor and heart

I'll summarise for you: she is another member of the political class, not having worked outside politics. A problem that is rife on both sides of politics and goes along way to explaining why huge segments of the electorate can't see themselves within their own democracy.

Now that the Coalition has adopted a really stupid climate-denying energy & emissions policy they are about to move on to stuffing up immigration. As the racist dog-whistles come out, this may be handy. #auspol

Pressed to outline how the LNP will reduce emissions with their new energy plan, Sussan Ley says they’ll rely on “breakthrough technologies” in about “25 years time”😳 - ones not invented yet & “we’re not talking about today”🤔 There you have it. As bonkers as it gets. #auspol

Here is an obituary for Alice Wong from The Sick Times, a publication aligned with disability rights and disability activism, if you are looking for an alternative to reading the nyt one: thesicktimes.org/2025/11/15/a...

The congressional measure, backed by 21 Democratic legislators, calls for sanctions against Israel over Gaza horrors.

All nations committed under the Paris Agreement to limit global warming to 1.5 degC for good reason. Instead many governments are beholden to the fossil fuel lobby and even subsidize fossil fuel use with your money. We’re now at 1.4 degC & emissions are rising not falling. unfccc.int/process-and-...
