To claim that mass mobilizations "don't work" or "are useless" doesn't negate the fact that THEY HAPPENED and most people commenting on them DID NOT TAKE PART. LOL.

@revdrmichaelwoolf.bsky.social thank you for speaking up on MS now.

The idea that we simply have to kill off a bunch of animals because it's a net benefit to climate is a false dichotomy that serves corporate interests trying to avoid having to put in the effort of finding good, well-chosen sites Really wish media would consider breaking through this thinking

Israel has ranked lowest in the Nation Brands Index. Again. Australia's own reputation would improve if we actively opposed Israel's crimes with sanctions (rather than selling them arms). Long-term: it'd benefit Israel, Palestine, Lebanon too. It'd benefit our trade & tourism #auspol #SanctionIsrael

Large SUVs and utes are 82% more likely to kill children in collisions- 44% more likely to kill adult pedestrians or cyclists. They damage our roads and add to air pollution, harming our health.

Scrolling through Soros’s articles in the NYRB is just him being right again and again.

You can do a lot locally with a dedicated group of 15 to 40 people. Regular people should be thinking at that scale rather than at the scale of thousands.

As climate and resource crises grow, Indigenous & local communities lead on conservation but remain sidelined in global governance. An analysis says BRICS+, with its multipolar, South-South framework, may open space for Indigenous leadership in shaping policy from within. ** Views are author's.

Today on Volts: you've probably heard that Australia has cheap rooftop solar power. You've probably also heard some rumors & myths about it. (Is it destabilizing the grid?) I called my favorite Australian energy expert to clear it all up. This is a fun one! www.volts.wtf/p/whats-the-...

‘Perhaps one in ten West Papuans has been a refugee in the last five years. By clearing Indigenous people from their land, the TNI both eases the extraction process and seeds future conflict: displacement allows extraction which leads to further displacement.’ www.lrb.co.uk/blog/2025/de...

Albanese's decision to implement the envoy's hasbara plan at Netanyahu's behest is at odds with the truth-telling long called for by First Nations, but it would be in keeping with the local settler colonial project 👇 www.sydneycriminallawyers.com.au/blog/austral...

Merry Christmas to everyone celebrating. At a time of rising antisemitism, remember Jesus was a Jew. At a time of rising anti-migrant sentiment, remember Jesus was a refugee. And don't forget that in Jesus's homeland, Palestinians continue to live under extreme subjugation.

My god how quickly we have capitulated. This is a man who was happily photographed signing bombs to be launched on Gaza. Pandering to this man does not help Australia’s Jewish community one bit.

This article mentions two things we rarely see in mainstream media: - a significant number of Australian Jews oppose Israel's apartheid & genocide. - if the nation is looking for enhanced social cohesion after the Bondi massacre, alliances between Jews, Palestinians & Muslims are a great example.

I don't think you could come up with a more inflammatory, offensive & tone deaf move than inviting the president of Israel to Australia. This crosses just about every red line there is for maintaining social cohesion & highlights ALPs complete disrespect for international law & human rights. #auspol

In the history of awful ideas this rates. Labor have lost the plot entirely on human rights. And that’s gonna turn out very badly for a lot of ordinary Australians, maybe even YOU.

"Hard-to-abate" is sometimes code for "we haven't looked closely yet." This great new report shows opportunities for clean heat (low/medium-temp industrial process heat) through electrification, which also has public health benefits.

As I fly out of the UK, I want to draw attention to the people in dire straits, hunger striking for justice after Keir Starmer handed UK speech to Israel to police. The proscription of Palestine Action will be judged brutally by history. Speaking out - & acting against - genocide is our moral duty.

It was not the Australian PM or anti-war protestors who made this massacre happen. If someone espouses this view, they're either wilfully blind or deliberately & cynically using the murder of innocents to further their own agendas, writes Katerina Cosgrove 🔗 www.newarab.com/opinion/we-m...

On our new pathway, achieving universal electricity access by 2035 requires $23 billion of investment each year Another $4 billion annually is needed to reach clean cooking for all by 2040 Together, this is less than 1% of total energy spending today 👉 iea.li/48HCQrL

Sexual abuse of Palestinians witnessed at Sde Teiman prison isn’t an anomaly, it's how Israel maintains a system of fear and domination, writes Omar Shabana ⬇️

“Pitting Jewish safety against Palestinians, Muslims and migrant communities, and eroding all of our civil liberties, doesn't make Jews safer. It makes the real fight against antisemitism harder.”

What does "intifada" mean? Governments in the UK and NSW are banning this Arabic word - why? #Cops #police #palestine #nsw #uk

"Equating the hundreds of thousands of people who have protested for a stronger stand against a genocide...with supporting a massacre is just as insane as using the massacre for political point-scoring & to set up a fight about migration" @amyremeikis.bsky.social www.deepcutnews.com/p/massacre-a...

This is just white nationalist rhetoric. This administration has moved from being fascist to straight up nazi.

James Talarico: The Bible doesn't mention abortion or gay marriage, but it goes on and on about forgiving debt, liberating the poor, and healing the sick. The closest thing we have to the kingdom of heaven is a multiracial, multicultural democracy where power is truly shared among all people

The housing problem doesn’t have shit to do with immigrants literally nothing does it’s 100% a result of resource hoarding & eons of social engineering by capitalists. You can kick as many people out as you want & tons of folk still won’t be able to afford a house cuz rich people don’t want them to
