Sexism and racism has amplified in the last decade. It is colonial and post-colonial America. White male fear of losing their position is playing out at extreme levels to quash & uphold the systems they created for their.
Is Trump really the ally we want to reflect our values?

I really need for people to see & acknowledge that the open racism & sexism in US public life today are directly downstream of the decade-long effort to destroy "woke," ie, anti-racism & anti-sexism. This was always the point.

If you pay attention, ecological collapse is happening everywhere, in real time.

1/ Like here: Starved of water, taken down by insects, burned by repeated, abnormally intense wildfires, much of the ponderosa forest is turning into permanent grass & shrublands.

Hey ABC - just maybe the story here should be less about the British royal family doing a PR clean-up.

And more about how wealthy privileged powerful men like Andrew are so rarely held accountable for their alleged crimes. #EpsteinFiles

It’s time Australia held that deep investigation that more than 500,000 Australians petitioned for.

Murdoch media are a cancer on society deliberately undermining our democracy.

ICE attacked peaceful protestors with tear gas and then Fox News characterised the violence as caused by protestors. Trump’s propaganda arm - Murdoch media - is a huge part of the MAGA problem.
fox "news" found it lead with it ...quelle surprise

What an incredibly sad article.

And how awful that Australia continues in it’s shameful place as the top country in the world for #mammal extinctions.

What a legacy we’ve lost 😞
#ausmammals #wildoz #extinction #nature
As I argue in #PlatypusMatters, Australia has the world's best mammals, but is sadly the worst place on Earth to be a mammal, with the planet's worst #extinction rate.
The Christmas Island shrew is now the latest species to be officially declared extinct.

And then there were none: Australia’s only shrew declared extinct
The tally of Australian mammals extinct since 1788 is now 39 species – far more than for any other country

same guys who are "concerned!!!! about women's sports" when it means excluding and isolating trans girls from sport lol. misogyny all the way down. for so many men, women's sports is something inherently lesser and another stage for objectification and comedy with female athletes as the punchline
Some sports gamblers are trying to predict WNBA players’ performance—and the outcomes of games—based on the athletes’ periods. One betting content creator has dubbed it “blood money." www.wired.com/story/men-ar...

When Labor and Liberals sit down to settle environment laws, there is an invisible but powerful presence in the room with them: the fossil fuel lobby.

Precisely why the 'two-party system' is so toxic for the national interest. #ClimateCrisis #auspol

In today’s @crikey.com.au, I wrote about the furore over Albanese’s appearance at the UK Labour conference.

The problem wasn’t that it was partisan, but that he intervened in the internal politics of UK Labour, backing Starmer against a rising chorus of critics.

Albanese’s speech to UK Labour wasn’t partisan — it was factional
Why has Albanese stuck his neck out for the incumbent? Because Starmer has, in many, ways emulated Albanese.

"A 2019 government study found endometriosis costs Australia between $7.4 billion and $9.7 billion per year, with roughly ⅔ of that figure attributed to lost productivity."

Women/afab people living in pain generally doesn't matter, of course, but what if i said it affects The Economy™?

Clean energy in remote First Nations communities is about more than reducing diesel.

It's also about community flourishing; energy security and affordability; community growth and well being.

That’s the finding of a new report by Pembina Institute.

Two lecturers at Catholic Campion College in Sydney are overt white supremacists. They are both interlinked with #AtlasNetwork and connected operations. Read this reporting to see how overt these figures are.

The Woodside case proves what we’ve long suspected: Australia’s ‘environment protection’ law does no such thing

Approval of the North West Shelf extension shows the purpose of the EPBC Act is to allow developments, not to protect and preserve
