Make this post one you watch and share today. And every day.

Understand Israel and Netanyahu are devious, aggressive, apartheid, colonialist, anti peace, anti Palestinian, anti humanity, but pro-war, pro-genocide.

He’s always been a liar and hateful cheat. Psychopath.
This genocidal psychopath had planned this for decades 🤬

He just needed an excuse..thats why he allowed Oct 7th to happen

Has anyone even noticed that, in the current framing of a Peace Plan for Ukraine, Europe has been given the same role as Namibia or New Zealand (i.e. none)? This is the price Europe is paying for being Washington's lackeys for so long: utter irrelevance www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...
US and Russian officials draft plan to end Ukraine war based on capitulation from Kyiv
It is unclear if Trump administration backs deal that would mean Kyiv giving up territory and slashing size of military

Your Party's founding conference next weekend is an opportunity to put the distractions and drama behind us and refocus on what actually matters: our members, our movement and our shared political vision of socialism.

The time is now.

Zohran Mamdani walked into the Oval Office with strength, without betraying his own values or beliefs, and had trump eating out of his hand, defending and praising him, even saying it's OK to call him a fascist.

Gave up nothing.
Gained respect.

Absolute masterclass.

Here’s hoping.

I live for the day the christo-fascist (non) Liberal Party of Australia turns to a crumbling pillar of salt and fades away to obscurity.

They can take their pro- fossil fuels, and deliberately divisive racism, war-mongering, anti-science beliefs with them.

#TheyreNotLiberals.
David Speers “what does it mean to be a Liberal today?”
Niki Savva “I don’t think anybody knows”🔥 Savva at her brutal best, says Libs are “disintegrating before our eyes” & that their internal war on Net Zero is not over, with Hastie claiming they may “become extinct” #Abcinsiders

If you’re moving from coal to toxic fossil methane gas, you’re NOT transitioning at all.

Methane is a fossil fuel. And it leaks into the atmosphere at EVERY stage from extraction to processing to transport to use.

Methane is 80+x more heating in the atmosphere than CO2.

NO MORE COAL, OIL OR GAS.
Has anyone ever managed to call out Albanese et al when they say 'gas is an important transitional fue to net zero' when it just really will be needed domestically for industry and limited use at peak times, and not to sell several fucktons of it overseas like Australia mostly does?

Thousands of dead contaminated fish!!! Tasmania & now the Kimberley. Both are
Tassal operations
Licences should be removed & operations shut.
This is inhuman & unethical as well as toxic pollution.
bet the don’t pay taxes either!!
@albomp.bsky.social stop taking their money & do your job!! #auspol
This is happening in National Heritage waters of the Kimberley and Tassal/Cooke want to expand their operations! This is the same corporation, causing the same industrial fish farming problems as the salmon industry in Tasmania. See Environs Kimberley:

Car driver privilege

Advanced driver assist only works if ADA switched on

I say mandate ADA permanently on
Also ANCAP ought assess difference when ADA on vs off!

"Why is Chris Bowen prioritising science?"

Because it's infinitely better than prioritising ssssstupudity, Susssssan.
Sussan Ley asks why Chris Bowen is “prioritising science” by attending a climate change conf in the Pacific, then blinks uncontrollably at the response
