Time to tax fossil fuel extraction companies at a higher % rate than we tax wage earners. Use the money to build renewable energy systems including batteries. Make an allocation for habitat preservation and climate adaptation.

Fair

Like, I cannot believe that capital took at look at climate breakdown and said, “yeah no, we’re not going to decarbonize; we’re going to build tens of thousands of huge conglomerates of machines that use a shit ton of water and methane instead.”

Have we worked out yet that every single "it's too expensive" from successive governments, for things like fast trains & hospitals & schools, is all just utter fucking bullshit in the face of hundreds of billions of dollars to fascists for submarines we don't need and won't get?

I said this after Covid too and I don’t fucking want normal coming back…ever! It sucks. We can do better. We must do better. #Auspol

www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a... How is 'deadliest day since ceasefire began' even possible as a headline today, or over the history of Israel's genocidal activities.

This is not normal

If you're wondering about the lapse from all of the member of the WH press corps reporting on what they saw, they just don't want to get ahead of Karoline Leavitt

Fossil Fuel Production is killing us and our beloved planet earth. www.texastribune.org/2026/04/23/t...

We've almost sent 5k letters to Congress (from their constituents) demanding they stand up to Trump and stop him from dismantling the US Forest Service.

Earth Day reminder that Trump’s EPA rolled back regulations governing clean air, water, wildlife, and toxic chemicals. He’s pushed to open public lands to drilling and mining. And he’s gutted clean energy programs while promoting dirty fossil fuels. He’s a danger to our planet and our health.

Seems like the Strait of Hormuz is only open when the stock market is.

www.theguardian.com/politics/202... Yes, Prime Minister

This fucking guy

"A federal judge ruled in late March that the detention center must give free access to, as the AP summarized the order, 'timely, confidential, unmonitored, unrecorded outgoing legal calls.' Days later, guards cut off the phones entirely....After the phones were cut off, 'the beatings began.'"👇

Energy crisis good news

We need a fundamental change to our defence plans and foreign affairs. This is not achieved by re-labelling pensions and clinging to the US. It needs to see the cancellation of major US weapons platforms starting with nuclear submarines and repurposing these funds into genuine security measures

Electrification is looking good. As long as we don't need any components delivered by diesel powered ships anytime soon.

The same people who argue with climate scientists about who knows more about climate are naturally going to argue with the Pope about who knows more about Jesus.

On this tax day, it just feels right to mention, that in 2025 Tesla paid ZERO DOLLARS in corporate taxes… Zero. Nada. Zilch. Nothing. 😎✨ How does this fact make you feel?!

In the latest not-news, we bring you this update...

www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04... Hate to promote anything written by David Speers but if the Albanese govt is learning that supporting genocidal megalomaniacs has domestic political consequences then so be it. Time for some intestinal fortitude and to govern for the good of humanity here and abroad.

This is what Times Square will look like when Congress or a cheeseburger finally does its job

No country in history has killed as many Journalists, bombed as many ambulances, deliberately killed as many paramedics or killed such a high percentage of children as Israel. Not one, EVER.

The fox is guarding the hen house. The only new news would be if the foxes start showing symptoms of fatty liver disease as a result of their gluttony. The question I ask myself is whether there is any theoretical limit to their opportunities for gain. Does crypto ever run out?

"President Obama refused. President Biden refused. President Bush refused. The only president who has agreed to this, obviously, is President Trump." Former Secretary of State John Kerry explains that Benjamin Netanyahu has been advocating for war against Iran across many U.S. presidencies.

Australia must end ties with Israel. Words mean nothing when each ‘statement of concern’ arrives with millions of dollars in arms deals and a container load of weapons parts.

www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... Let's agree to stop reporting on Gina's thought bubbles

The 'free world'? Other than that, good.

So cool how NSW cops will arrest you without laying a hand on you if you're accused of five counts of the war crime - murder, but will bash you senseless if you protest a genocide. #ACAB #auspol #pigs #Minns

Labor must condemn these planned attacks on Iranian civilians and infrastructure, and they must close Pine Gap and get us out of AUKUS. We cannot allow our silence to reinforce the terrifying global consensus that targeting innocent men, women and children is permissible.

This is what I call an Easter miracle. May justice be served. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04...

Corporate media continues to sanewash President Crezypants as he drops F-bombs and threatens war crimes on Easter morning.

This is what happens when 77 million people take leave of their senses and put a manifestly unqualified, unfit, mentally ill narcissistic man-child in charge of the country and the world's most powerful. military. This is what happens when the media 'bothsides' election coverage.

Sadly aged care, like housing, is something that Australia primarily views as a way to make money rather than a human right.

Meloni? Is this real?

The only explanation for @albomp.bsky.social not dealing properly with the harm gambling advertising does (including, and especially to children) is that he’s hostage to vested interests. He lacks the courage and leadership to stop this trade in misery. #auspol

Because they know it would be the absolute end of them if they bent on this. If only they carried that attitude to everything else and used this latest batshit fuckery of harm from Trump to say no to everything. The US alliance is actively against our interests and the AUKUS Iran attack proves it

8/ None of this means giving up. It means being honest with our selves and facing reality. Fossil fuel burning must fall hard and fast. And we must protect and restore ecosystems. The sink matters as much as the smokestack. The atmosphere measures what we do, not what we promise.

Trump is committing war crimes in Iran and is threatening more and worse ones. His entire war strategy at this point is war crimes. A functional Congress would be far down the road of impeachment and removal.

www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... Let's discuss upgrading the national fleet to electric and why we have so little refining capacity in this country. Or how people can attend job interviews if they are under mutual obligations and away from public transport. Public policy before fish and chips.

No, not good riddance. Haul her ass in and charge her for her crimes!!!

'Unseasonal rain, hailstorm damage wheat crop across Malwa region in Punjab [India]… According to Jagsir Singh, Chief Agriculture Officer, Muktsar, nearly 35,000 acres of wheat crop in the district have been affected, with losses ranging between 50% & 75%' www.tribuneindia.com/news/bathind...

Australia has sent SAS troops into the Middle East while this awful and illegal US and Israeli War on Iran expands. How could the PM not have told the truth about this last night?

We know what he did with children

"It’s chilling to think our strategic and military future is so hocked to Trump & Hegseth (a Crusader fetishist with an empathy bypass and a contorted view of male identity) who publicly prays for his enemies to be smitten" Albanese's failure to ditch these dangerous fools is a huge security risk.

We document fuckery in vain hope this changes something. The idea is if enough people know the truth, something will shift. As a motivation, this is becoming less powerful. The truth feels screamingly obvious, and yet the monsters persist and the masses clap and vote for them.

Can we get some serious long-term reform to help shift away from fossil fuels? Electric freight trains between cities and towns instead of trucks for food and goods distribution, for example? Electric car subsidies? Cancel tax right-offs for petrol driven utes? Yeah, nah; doubt it.

Albo says the Australian way is to look out for each other. This is hard to reconcile with condoning genocide, walking past homeless people, keeping job seekers at half the poverty level, taking no constructive action against violence towards women, trying to kill NDIS etc

What we needed was a clear path away from the US and its dangerous wars. Instead we got a nothing burger message with an undertone that things will only get worse. This inspires no confidence.
