Democrats "may find themselves quickly back in business if they can simply swallow their pride and follow Bernie’s lead."

Day 68 into the GOP takeover: Prices are going up. Consumer confidence is plummeting. Classified info is being leaked. Social Security is being dismantled. Residents are being arrested for their political views.

It’s been over two days since 4 members of the U.S. Military perished in Lithuania AND Trump has not made an announcement. He did tell us what he thought of our soldiers who gave & risk their lives everyday. "Suckers and losers," he called them.

OUTRAGEOUS: A Canadian woman was put in chains for 24 hours and detained by ICE in an “inhumane” facility after trying to get her new visa.

Every fire in central & western TAS sees the further loss of these forests. Unlike eucalypts, they are hypersensitive to fire; if burned around the trunk, they die. And Tasmania is in a new age of fire. www.theguardian.com/books/2025/m...

America’s butterflies are disappearing because of insecticides, climate change and habitat loss, with the number of the winged beauties down 22% since 2000, a new study finds.

If you like "NOT HAVING ENOUGH FOOD" you'll love "KEEP BURNING FOSSIL FUELS"! In addition to lost harvests due to extreme weather, higher temperature will also drastically reduce the area on which crops can even potentially grow. But we can just eat oil, right? Or money?

The president United States just made a threat of genocide.

Climate change at the center of Cyclone Alfred. They just don’t normally travel this far south without a very warm ocean

Gosh, he's amazing. I'm heartbroken that the world, which is already in a precarious position, is being thrown into an incredibly dangerous state by a tangerine in the US. youtu.be/83f47jIS_D8

Not in any way 🤬

Eeek.

Catherine and her cat from Zaporizhzhia. She spent 5 hours under the rubble of her house, destroyed by a Russian missile. All this time she has been hugging her cat. P.S. Sorry she didn't wear a suit.

Go the renewables!

CLEARCUTTING NATIONAL PARKS & FORESTS… 🤬 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

BREAKING - a bill mandating genital inspections to participate at all age levels of girls' and women's sports fails in the U.S. Senate. It needed 60 votes to move forward.

Oooooooh we are living in extraordinarily unsatisfactory times 😱

For the record Pres. Zelenskyy has thanked the United States and Americans - 33 times to date including in an emotional speech to Congress.

Australia stands with Ukraine. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03...

I stand with Ukraine.

Anthony Albanese Prime Minister of Australia 👏

So in the crazy times we are unfortunate enough to endure, I decided to make my life a tad more tricky by setting up an aquarium 😁🫠 Oh the dramas of cycling and nitrites and water changes and hang in there little dudes!

The New World - A Thread! This image captures a radical shift in the World's security order. And it is rampacked with symbolism on a level not seen since Da Vinci's "Last Supper". It came on the dawn of a day where Europe Ascended. 1/6

I'm a big fan of this trend 😁

Musk 💯💯💯 rigged the election in the swing states. Harris actually won.

There seems no real point in voting ALP or LNP anymore for this and other reasons. I wish I had a Pocock to vote for. I shall have to rummage about down the back of the couch for a bolshie independent.

I mean, WTAF.

“South Australian scientists have demonstrated a clear link between the proximity of native vegetation (which attracts pollinators) and higher crop yields, showing why widespread clearance of native vegetation is not a good idea.” theaimn.net/dont-clear-n...

Ants carry antimicrobial bacteria and fungi on their bodies and feet, allowing ants to protect crops (the current list includes apples, mangos, pears, coffee, citrus, and cocoa) from diseases, while reducing the use of chemical pesticides. #pestmanagement

Dear progressive Americans, Perhaps I am missing something, perhaps you have plans, if so, forgive this post. If not…what the flying f is wrong with you? Where are you? Handfuls outside major institutions, huffing & puffing in Congress, a few thousand in LA? Get in the streets. Howl! Shriek! FFS!

I love those little cultural differences - like how Americans are deeply offended by the word cunt, while here in Australia, we’re more offended by unelected billionaires orchestrating a fascist coup against the leading nation of the free world.

"The bigtime Arctic f&%kery, with temperatures in some parts reaching 28°C (50°F) above average, begins today and will last at least a week." (Prof Eliot Jacobson) #collapse

Who knew Biden could have just stormed into the White House, handed a friendly billionaire the keys to all the federal buildings, fired anyone who might have voted for Trump and imposed the Green New Deal, police, gun and voting reform and Roe v. Wade by force, without barely a peep from Congress.

Yes, yes it could, of course it could. The idea of the "Gulf Stream"/AMOC cutting off has been part of the literature for decades. It's an inherently fragile, climate-driven physical process. Of course we can break it.

Had a wee break from the Sky just to decompress.. There was a lot going on here and most of it was damn depressing. Let's see how February goes! Hope you're all good and staying cool in Adelaide's heat wave!
