It's grimly funny that all of the build outs of new data centers for AI will be fucked without new power, and the Trumpists have killed or blocked 20GW or more of new solar and wind. And the lead time for new gas plant is *years*.

Canceling the 21st century version of the Hoover Dam to own the libs. This would have been such an easy thing for Trump have named after himself. Really wasted opportunity for a narcissist like him.

Interior cancels largest solar project in North America

It's the Trump administration's latest move to slow or block major clean energy projects.

Chris Hedges sets out truths about the 'peace plan' that so many western journalists avoid.

Truths that National Press Club members,
especially the ones who have accepted Israeli junkets and drunk the Zionist Kool-Aid,
preferred not to be confronted with? #GazaGenocide #NPC #auspol

The Albanese govt’s first term was the second most secretive on record.

Rather than changing their ways, they’re doubling down and tightening our FOI system to make it even harder to get information. Not a single expert or member of parliament outside of the Labor party has backed their new bill.

Massive crowd in Melbourne/Naarm today (in case you thought this movement was going to be placated with more colonisation). Until the occupation ends. Until Western war criminals and their enablers face justice. Until Palestine is free.

I am appalled at this behaviour by our govt.

While you & Marles look forward to continuing your relationship with the USA, have you considered that this allegiance to the USA does not represent the will of the Australian people nor is it in our best interest.

The famine in #Gaza can be reversed.

UNRWA has enough food for the entire population for three months, waiting outside Gaza, and a system in place to distribute aid safely and at scale.

Let us do our work.

The Aust Parliament Sports Club (the one that ditched David Pocock) is now formally registered as a lobby group👇🏽

Anthony Albanese is the President of the Aust Parliament Sports Club.

That means the Prime Minister of Australia is currently the president of a lobby group.

Just utterly unbelievable.

Any member who doesn’t resign from the Australian Parliament Sports Club in protest over this should be viewed as irretrievably tainted and having a conflict of interest on any legislative matters pertaining to gambling.

Even after being found guilty of 'officer misconduct' for mishandling the Robodebt referral, Commissioner of the NACC continues consultancy role despite concerns of perceived conflicts of interest.

At $820k/year surely he can focus on doing one job well?
