Just to be clear:

Instead of working with the Greens to strengthen enviro protections, Labor is teaming up w/Libs to ram through dirty laws in the final sitting weeks.

Another complete capitulation to coal and gas barons and another betrayal to our future.

Just like the knackered NACC, the LibLab fix is in and they're set to sell out all australians to the planet fuckers.

#LibLab knackered the NACC deliberately. Is it still corruption when the racketeers are always in government?

It is grimly amusing that Australia’s second largest Defence acquisition deal ($46bn!) was referred to the NACC - for good reason - but the Commissioner won’t look at it bc he’s still a ranking ADF officer.
Readers will be astonished that this referral two yrs ago has yielded nothing yet.

BAE frigate deal referred to anti-corruption commission

Referral comes in same week the controversial procurement will face a second parliamentary hearing

The thing is, until you have personally experienced this kind of targeted operation it sounds like tinfoil hat or the ravings of someone who has lost their grip on reality.

And once it happens, almost no one will believe you if you so choose to confide. You end up alone, frozen

Two coal power units in Victoria tripped on Thursday and nobody realised, because a gigawatt of wind and solar was available to step into the breach.

Six of the state's 10 coal units were out neatly replaced by batteries, renewables, and a bit of gas.

Sodastream, country barcode prefix '729', is a product of Israel, now advertised on Australian streaming services (and pretending to be Australian — 'refilled in...').

Would you have bought products/services from apartheid South Africa? We didn't. We resisted. We protested. Even Malcolm Fraser did.

Elinor Ostrom won a Nobel Prize for showing how groups of people, often groups of men, collaborate to sustain their shared natural resources. They impose sanctions on ("cancel") those that violate the group's norms. And it works! But Ostrom was a woman, so...

By way of example, I used FOI to break this story where I confirmed that 10,000 zombie robodebts had been sent out by mistake. A senate estimates hearing confirmed that someone had built a dead-man's switch into the program and forgot to input the code.

The harder we make it the more we lose.

I found this a really illuminating thread on what demonstrations do and why they matter.

Dr. Lisa Corrigan @drlisacorrigan.bsky.social · 1d

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.

Jonathan M. Katz @katz.theracket.news · 1d

Not a shitpost: #NoKings is feel-good performative activism for comfortable mostly upper and upper middle class white folks and that’s good, actually. Millions of people in the streets protesting a fascist regime is good. It is good for the normie baseline to be massive displays of public dissent.

A lot of regular MAGA filth followed Trump administration accounts to Bluesky. Their only purpose is to troll, to trigger libs. Block them on sight, starve them of oxygen, let them scream into the void.

Friends at the front of protests in Melbourne today say the police started firing in response to people shouting at the Nazis. Many more usually-not-fatal weapons being used by police.

Today is a good day to remind everyone that the US narrative claiming the President of Venezuela is a drug trafficker is 100% lies. The Trump administration knows this, the Nobel committee knows this... it is a campaign to manufacture consent for invasion. Don't fall for it.

We cannot accept a racialised two-tier system where human rights are only enforced for some peoples and not for others. We cannot accept apartheid in the international system.

What we must all remember from the Gaza genocide is that the international system is rotten to its core and needs to be completely replaced.

We cannot accept a system where Western governments and leaders can commit genocide and war crimes with total impunity.
