Sign the petition: Federal Budget: funding will hand federal environmental decision-making to states and territories www.foe.org.au/ai_approvals...

It’s all there for the taking. But we need serious people in Government.

This cause is close to my heart - please sign: petitions.getup.org.au/petitions/le... @getup.org.au

A large amount of oil & gas reserves do need to stay in the ground in order to prevent catastrophic ecological & economic collapses globally. That's not an 'opinion' that is a scientific fact, one we are being told to self-silence on. Be vary wary of anyone who cannot state - directly - that fact.

The new world war Why the battle for Iran and Ukraine is coming for us all By Will Lloyd archive.fo/2026.03.18-1...

The footage appears to contradict President Donald Trump’s claim it was an Iranian missile that hit the school on Feb. 28. www.wsj.com/livecoverage...

A position apparently too nuanced for many British politicians & pundits.

Demonstrating that even with constant media headwinds and dishonest opposition, strong articulate, honest, intelligent, empathetic voices can win.

I just signed the open letter - will you join me? First Nations communities deserve safety and justice. Sign here: actionnetwork.org/petitions/ad...

Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem. Thank you. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Why did Keir Starmer really block Andy Burnham from running in Gorton and Denton?

Extreme heat is blasting eastern Australia. It’s driven by fossil fuels, development of which the Albanese government continues to support. The Guardian Australia’s climate/environment journalist calls it out @adammorton.bsky.social @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Spoiler: it is very hard to remove GHGs from the atmosphere and impossible to do so sustainably at scale. This means that stopping catastrophic climate change requires the fastest possible wind down of fossil carbon mining and burning.

Please reskeet every post you see that links climate change to fossil fuels (not just mine 😉) 🙏

It seems you do not go to SBS News, either on air or on line, for any immediate news of the fires in Victoria. Maybe at the back of the bulletin?

Speaking tomorrow evening (Thursday 22nd January) in Shrewsbury. Details here: greenshropshire.org.uk/news/shrewsb...

It is the source of so many of our evils: the astonishing concentration of wealth in the hands of a very few, and the immense political power that gives them. We cannot solve our problems until we tackle it. This week's column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Help! Sign & share the petition to save the State Library of Victoria from rolling crises, gallery closures, harassment/jettisoning of staff & new cuts to destroy services for children & adults. c.org/Hj9G9WSg2f. (Or change.org, search Save The State Library of Victoria.) #StateLibrary #librarians

Inspiring article. I learned a lot from this and I thought I knew surrealism well. Worth your time.

A climate deal without explicit language calling for a fossil fuel phaseout is like a ceasefire without explicit language calling for a suspension of hostilities. #COP30

“There is no moment in the human story when safe and prosperous living conditions have coexisted with above replacement-level fertility.” !

More disturbing reporting from The Nerve. How can a scrappy startup in 3 weeks leave BBC trailing in its coverage of Russian interference in our politics?

@therestpolitics.bsky.social As a regular listener, quite concerned by your extended plugs for Google and AI. Are you folllowing the news? Apart from copyright issues, hallucinations, and tech-bro lunacy, if the AI bubble bursts, as looks very possible, there will be massive economic consequences.

"Peter Mandelson lost his job for being friends with a paedophile. Donald Trump, who was friends with the same paedophile, was given a state banquet hosted by a King whose brother lost his job because he was friends with the same paedophile.“

You 👏🏻 are 👏🏻 not 👏🏻 unreasonable 👏🏻

A taster for my future work on the safeguard mechanism. Have you heard our Climate Minister say that the reformed safeguard mechanism delivered on-site abatement equivalent to two-thirds of Australia's annual aviation emissions? Who cares and somehow also I do and no it didn't.

China’s new-build solar additions in the last six months are more than the US has installed in total. In the first half of 2025 China’s new additions were more than twice the new capacity installed by the entire rest of the world this year. via @adamtooze.bsky.social

The world is changing.

"Anthony Albanese's claim that more fossil gas is needed for the energy transition is unscientific nonsense - it is gas industry propaganda raised to the level of state policy – and reflects a stampede toward more fossil fuels rather than a transition away."

@australia.theguardian.com Please shift the Charlie Kirk story down the page. It is NOT and never has been the most important story of the day in Australia, the US or the World.

Here's @boganintel. 'From maniacal to outright insane'

Et tu @aunz.theconversation.com ? “Today marked the loss of a unique leader in the US conservative movement.” Seriously Jared Mondschein? By your own account, today marked the death of a harmful, deceitful, divisive, polarising voice.

Nails it again. Brilliant as always.

This piece is so good that I feel weird and kind of gross for both discovering it four days after the fact and sharing it after midnight. But anyway this is an exceptionally affecting piece of writing and @roycerk2.bsky.social is a very good journalist. But you all already knew that. Didn't you?

The precise moment when and where in recent weeks America crossed that invisible line from democracy into authoritarianism can and will be debated by future historians, but it’s clear that the line itself has been crossed. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/america-ti...

Dear AUS PM @albomp.bsky.social cc @senatorwong.bsky.social The Handala has just been illegally intercepted by Israel while carrying baby formula to starving children in Gaza. Will the Australian Govt condemn this illegal action at sea by Israel? #auspol #IsraeliWarCrimes #GazaGenocide

An absolutely damning insider account of what has just gone down in Paris. Murujuga traditional custodians took the fight to protect their Country to the UNESCO World Heritage Committee in Paris. They lost. @unesco.org www.lastplaceonearth.com.au/inside-unesco/ Inside UNESCO

@australia.theguardian.com Why, day after day, do you think the most important story in the world is what is happening inside the Liberal Party? Your US and European editions lead today, far more appropriately, with Gaza.

If like me you worried about what had happened to the Guardian Gaza Diarist….

The world's most famous medical NGO concludes Israel is committing genocide. It joins a consensus of genocide scholars, including in Israel, and NGOs like Amnesty International. No politician or journalist can claim "I did not know at the time!" to evade future justice.

Read Ronan Bennet's brilliant deconstruction of Keir Starmer, also an inspiring reconstruction of what ought to be our moral compass on all matters related to defending Peace and the cause of ending the genocide of Palestinians www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/politics/fre...

An observation: Threads seems designed to encourage outrage in a very similar way to X. This just doesn’t seem to be the case here. There’s plenty of concern, argument and rebuttal here, but the temperature definitely seems lower, thank goodness.

Perfectly expressed.
