"progressive politics is not just about climate targets and tax reform. It must also be about moral courage: the ability to say, “Not in our name,” when innocent lives are being destroyed and our government looks away."
An excerpt from Senator Fatima Payman's brilliant essay from @australiainstitute.org.au latest book, "A Time For Bravery".

Rather topical given Hanson's bullshit yesterday

I finally loathe the Labor party
So Labor and the Liberals teamed up to pass legislation to give police the power to recommend cancellation of Centrelink payments of people who have not been found guilty of a crime by a court of law. It’s discriminatory financial punishment of people in poverty who are already over-policed

Ethnic cleansing of Palestine while the #WickedWesternWorld lies by omission.
#UN #israel #gaza #palestine

A UN resolution built on Trump’s Gaza plan promises a ceasefire, foreign peacekeepers & a new “board of peace” to govern Gaza. But with no real accountability for Israel & Palestinians sidelined, is this an end to the war or a blueprint for a new occupation?
The Take: Did the UN just outsource Israel’s occupation?
Trump’s Gaza plan just won UN backing. What Resolution 2803 means for Gaza, Palestinians and international law.

Some good discussions on here. Really good antidote to the kneejerk Islamophobia that pervades this country, fuelled by the LNP and One Nation.

We need more than compensation
We need to ban this misuse of precious water
Ban it before it’s too late!!!!!!
The Great Artesian Basin covers a 5th of Australia & contains ancient water that feeds mound springs. Arabana people should rightfully be compensated by BHP for their decades of extraction of this fossil water resource that's damaged their landscape, cultural heritage, knowledge, histories & stories

Please read this & help save the State Library of Victoria, entering its 'now fully trashed' era. I didn't go to uni - for me the Library was higher education in later life, research for my job, a revelation about what ordinary people could have access to. It changed my life. Not just a building.
The State Library of Victoria’s ‘major’ proposed cuts include slashing the number of reference librarians and free computers for public access. Some staff are shocked.
Proposed cuts at State Library of Victoria go against its mission – and will hurt the disadvantaged

“China is building the “mint”…at an incredible, world-changing scale, retained state control over its distribution. Its deployment of new electricity generation, from renewables, is staggering. It met its 2030 target of 1,200GW of renewable capacity 5 yrs early, in 2025.
Electricity is about to become the new base currency and China figured it out
As we accelerate into an all-electric, all-digital age, the ultimate representation of productive capacity becomes the kilowatt-hour (kWh).
