It's so miserable that the US is still breaking international law and slaughtering innocent people for oil, in 2025, when we have the technology and resources to transition to renewables for good. It's absolute hell that we are being led by such close minded, regressive imbeciles.

I will say again what my reporting at PROOF has established since 2021: What happened today in Caracas was a long time coming, and had nothing to do with drug trafficking, illegal immigration or undemocratic votes in South America. This happened because of who Donald Trump is and what he aims to do.
Last year, Trump promised American oil executives “a great deal” if they donated $1 billion to his campaign.

Today, he gave them Venezuela — home to the largest oil reserves in the world.

This new war is not only illegal and reckless; it is deeply corrupt.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.

Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Let's stop pretending that the billionaire media, endlessly attacking the BBC, has the slightest interest in balance, impartiality and accuracy. They won't be happy until the BBC is more rightwing than Vlad the Impaler. And then it still won't be enough.

Filipkowski: I believe we’re worse off now—and we don’t even know for sure that Iran was moving toward developing a nuclear weapon before this. They certainly will be now. They now know, definitively, that the only way to deter Israel and the U.S. is to have a nuclear deterrent themselves.

One of the funnier running subplots of the Trump era is that he hasn't won a Nobel Peace Prize, and it really eats at him.
Trump: "They should give me the Nobel Prize for Rwanda and if you look, the Congo, or you could say Serbia, Kosovo, you could say a lot of them. The big one is India and Pakistan. I should've gotten it four or five times."

Mr. Antiwar President has us inches away from a Civil War at home and a nuclear war abroad in defense of an ally that is starting random hot regional wars to detract from its ongoing genocide. I’m sure all of this will just naturally cool off.

The approval of the North West Shelf extension puts MurrayWatt with climate change deniers.

A terrible decision that will hang round his neck like a rotting carcass.

If Senator Murray Watt approves the North West Shelf extension, his legacy will forever be as the man who destroyed the oldest rock art on the planet.

It will be an act of vandalism so gross that nothing he can do in politics thereafter could counter the damage.
The Murujuga rock art is one of Australia's most priceless heritage sites.

And it's being slowly destroyed.

If Environment Minister Murray Watt approves the 50 year extension to the North West Shelf, it will be a death sentence for Murujuga.

I’m currently in California, where now, after dark, nearly one-third of electricity is being supplied from batteries. Only 8% is from fossil fuels - natural gas.
