Simply being vocal about #ClimateChange is enough. Supporting those taking action is even better. But obviously taking action yourself is the place of #RealHeroes. Please click the hashtag and search by user to see the many actions people are taking. Support them (re-posts and follows), join them.

#ClimateCriminals, #Australia - #Labor - #auspol

Ebony Bennett @ebonybennett.bsky.social · 2h

Australia has one of the worst extinction records on Earth — and Labor’s doing a deal with the Coalition to overhaul nature laws.

Labor can’t protect nature while protecting polluters.

My column for tomorrow's @canberratimes.bsky.social #auspol >

This shocking deal is a gross betrayal of millions of voters

Here's what Labor would do if they gave a rat's about the environment.

The New York Post has been honest brokered.

The IPCC is lucky to have @frediotto.bsky.social as a coordinating lead author.

Climate critics try to discredit IPCC author for linking disasters to global warming

Roger Pielke Jr. and oil industry supporters are attacking climate scientist Friederike Otto, whose work has been used in lawsuits against polluters.

ILLINOIS Candidate for Congress @abugai.bsky.social : “You said Prizker & Johnson need a history lesson - I’d like to give you one: when masked men are kidnapping entire families, naked, zip-tying their hands and throwing them into U-haul trucks… they’re usually not the good guys.”

Australian newspapers are reporting only the ceasefire, not Israel’s violation of it. The bombing hasn’t stopped but that’s an inconvenient truth.

As a show of sincere commitment to Trump’s so called “Gaza Peace Deal,” Israel is continuing to bomb civilians through out the night.

Even more interesting to me is that there’s no footage of major news network journalists simply saying directly that Portland is NOT burning down and is NOT a war zone. It is a mystery why is it so difficult for them to simply speak the truth directly to the viewers when it contradicts Trump.

US House Speaker Mike Johnson, a close Trump collaborator, is being called out by US lawmakers for keeping Congress in recess amid the 2025 government shutdown, an apparent move to stall a long-anticipated vote on releasing the Jeffrey #Epstein files. #OpDeathEaters

Speaker Mike Johnson is pictured alongside Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — all of whom have been named or referenced in connections to the Jeffrey Epstein network in public records or reporting.

Donald Trump Jr. is also present, long known to have maintained public ties and online interactions with Andrew Tate, a self-described influencer facing human-trafficking charges.

I sometimes worry I exaggerate the collective madness of our media but the people who cheered Brexit, Boris Johnson & Liz Truss's mini-budget are now applauding Kemi Badenoch's speech. 'Parallell universe' doesn't come close. I suppose her not falling over is a win of sorts for them at the moment.

The USA sent a property developer + Jared Kushner to negotiate the Israel/Gaza peace deal. This will not end well for the people of Gaza. Don’t be distracted by this US/Israeli propaganda. Seriously, a property developer + Jared Kushner + neither of them give shit about Palestinians #USpol #auspol

Throughout his career, Tucker has shed skins like a snake, from bow-tied political pundit to far-right crusader to full-blown anti-American conspiracy theorist. Every reinvention serves one purpose: keeping himself rich, relevant and at the center of the outrage machine.

From Donald Trump's Roundtable on Antifa just now —
"Antifa has been around in various iterations for almost 100 years in some instances, going back to the Weimar Republic in Germany."
