I’ve just watched a tribute that Meryl Streep gave to Diane Keaton in which she said that Keaton had “a stream of consciousness like a hummingbird” & my goodness that’s it, that was her entirely.

We have to stop this suction grip nation from getting any hold here.
The genuine danger of such abhorrent dystopian culture gaining foothold & primacy anywhere in the world is indeed troubling.

Liberals and mainstream media encourage extremism

The mainstream media and Liberal Party through their lies and propaganda have created a breeding ground for violence and extremism.

The photo shows Israeli army trucks with loudspeakers broadcasting Netanyahu’s speech to displaced Gaza residents.
Where did the Israeli army get this idea?
From the Nazi German army, which spread Hitler’s propaganda in concentration camps.

Powerful speeches at the Sydney pro-Palestine rally in Hyde Park today before a large and engaged crowd. So many great signs but this was sadly my favourite. Thanks Palestine Action Group Sydney. #auspol #SaveGaza

Maybe our PM should take note of the reaction to the singing of the US national anthem in Perth. Him and his government need to read the room and get Australia away from those fascist lunatics.

Absolutely shocking.
Such blatant exercise of power to repudiate the dignity of human life.
& to crush the spirit of all forthcoming generations into life under a fascist regime.

Yesterday I was told that the class I’m scheduled to teach this month, Confronting Oppression & Injustice, is no longer part of our curriculum. This is a required class yet there was no discussion, no faculty vote, just an email saying the class no longer exists. This is what it’s like in Texas now.

There has not been a sicker mind to sit in the Oval Office. I cannot understand how he’s allowed to continue with this charade.

When Watt cites “Safeguard Mechanism as an effective way of controlling emissions”, you should know SM only applies to direct (scope 1) GHG emissions of 🇦🇺's largest emitters

SM doesn't cover emissions produced from 🇦🇺’s Coal+Gas exports that make up ~80% of 🇦🇺’s contribution to global emissions 1/

Climate warming's already amplifying hazards such as heatwaves, extreme rainfall, dangerous fire weather, droughts, floods, & sea-level rises & in turn multiplying threats & risks of compound events

🇦🇺's fossil fuel exports contribute accelerated pollution & CC impacts no matter where they're burned

Labor is close to a deal on environmental law reforms. There are troubling signs these will fall short

Labor is close to a deal on its environmental law reforms. Will they strong enough to protect nature?

She has been reunited with her beloved feline fella. They leap together across the constellations & the light beams as their paws alight upon fluffy clouds. The love shared between them & that she held for her 'foster' child & her humans are part of our eternal inner lives. A selfless heart & soul.

The Australian PM remained on holiday in Hawaii whilst bushfires raged. At eventual visit he was deservedly spurned.
