My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

I fear we are seeing in the UK what has become abundantly clear in the US: for all their power and privilege, elites and institutions are absolute cowards in the face of right-wing authoritarianism. Weak, weak, weak, as Tony Blair once said

Approving new coal mines assuming they will be profitable aligns Australia to IPCC's SSP5 'fossil fueled development' tajectory.
SSP5 means *at least* 2.7C global heating, likely 4C, by 2100.
The government's own National Climate Risk Assessment shows 3C is disasterous for every Australian.

"An extension of the huge BHP/Mitsubishi Peak Downs mine in Queensland aims to continue operations for almost another century - out to 2116."
Labor’s slate for fossil fuel approvals
The Albanese government has already approved 31 fossil fuel projects, and more than that are waiting, even as renewables overtake coal as the top source of electricity.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

It is ridiculous to accuse the left of trying to hurt America when it’s the Republican president, house, senate and Supreme Court who are destroying your research and tech base, denying you healthcare, emptying your farms of workers, destroying your investment base and smashing your economy.
