How you ensure that democracy isn’t completely enshitified?

Get off the couch, put away the device, roll up your sleeves & get your hands dirty.

I’m part of an awesome team of community minded human beings running nonpartisan candidate forums in the seats of Sturt + Boothby. See you there!

Don’t get cocky Australia. Trump is basically copying what we did in Nauru and Manus Island
Trump announces an executive order authorizing a 30,000 capacity migrant detention center in Guantanamo.

"Some of them are so bad we don't even trust the countries to hold them because we don't want them coming back, so we're going to send them out to Guatanamo Bay."

The Gospel of Jesus is real when it inverts power: the righteous are those who care and provide mercy for “the least of these”. Thank you Rev Budde for your bravery in speaking truth to power
This matters. Not because I think Trump is capable of mercy or empathy towards these vulnerable groups. But because it is a public act of defiance.

Contrast that with all these other powerful people in this country signaling nothing but appeasement and obedience.
Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

Take it from someone who's been on the receiving end of far-right violence both to my person and to my property. Anything between 9-12 o'clock makes you a dogwhistling far right goon

1. There have been plenty of debates about whether or not Trump and his circle are fascists. In this column, I argue that the debate solves nothing. What we’re seeing is a reversion to the default state of politics in centralised societies: autocratic tyranny. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Across the world, societies are reverting to oligarchies. How to resist? Fight for democracy with all we’ve got, writes Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Welcome news that govt will commit $2b for production credits to help aluminium smelters, huge electricity consumers, move to renewable power. Supporting green aluminium is good news for the climate & will help create jobs & future proof the industry. #auspol

Renewables and storage now make up over 86% of all new energy additions GLOBALLY, and this pace is set to continue.

In 2023: 473 GW of renewable capacity was added: solar power alone accounted for nearly 75%of renewable additions, with a record 346 GW, while 116 GW of wind energy was added.

If you're in NSW there are great incentives currently available to get a household battery
NSW residents, earn up to $500 with the new BESS2 rebate!
Connect your battery to Amber’s SmartShift and start unlocking rewards. In 2024, we enabled over $300k for our SA customers through similar schemes - now it’s NSW’s turn.

Make the most of your battery with Amber.

We’re making hay on @amberelectric.bsky.social today!

Wholesale pricing helps consumers with batteries to optimise their energy costs and help the grid when it’s needed and get rewarded in the process. Happy to answer any questions on my experience so far

The most powerful climate action you have is your voice and your vote. Don't focus too hard on soft plastics.

I think Mr Dutton got his cost of living message mixed up regarding tax deductions for business messagings.

I think the public would be happier with "eat the rich" not "the rich eating"

This is where the three word slogan got mixed up: It should be "eat the rich", not "the rich eating"

I can't believe Santos can #sportswash climate destruction with such a low sponsorship fee. We should totally have bans on fossil fuel advertising the same way we do for tobacco.
The signs are up at the office for the 2025 Tour Down Under. Say NO to gas & Santos! Say YES to cycling!

The Tour Down Under needs a new sponsor - one that doesn't cause oil spills, that pays tax and that doesn't profit from fuelling the climate crisis.

Frank Luntz actually wrote a book about how he uses political framing. Here's his 10 rules of effective communication:

1. Use small words
2. Use phases and short sentences
3. Credibility is as important as philosophy
4. Consistency matters
5. Then offer something new

Climate deniers blame the progressives for changing
#globalwarming to #climatechange but this the truth is actually more cynical and perverse:
