Hoping you have someone as obsessed with you as the National party.

Just a thought, but to avoid the bloody annoying arguments every year about Australia Day, perhaps it could be on 27 May. That was the day in 1967 that 90% of Australians voted to include Indigenous Australians in the official population count, thus recognising them as citizens.

Whistleblowers just shared a memo showing DHS instructing ICE to force their way into peoples' houses without a proper warrant. Why is this not on all the networks right now? This is a criminal conspiracy to violate rights under color of law.

But woe betide we spend similar annual amounts to act on climate change…
…much of which just redirects investments from BAU stuff burning expensive fossil fuels + related infrastructure to clean economy tech like renewables, batteries, EVs
(Nor cost of failing to act, which is far higher)

Of course he is talking his own book but he's not wrong because Nvidia IDC Morgan Stanley and citigroup estimate that global spending on AI infrastructure will reach 4 trillion dollars by 2030...per year.
$2.6 trillion in the US.
About 3x more than today.
Weird shit gonna happen😉

I don't want to paint a rosy picture, because it's a city under siege. People are being abducted all the time. One person told me about watching 1-2 abductions a day, just in her own work following ICE.

It's genuinely a leaderless (or leaderful) movement, decentralized in a way that the state is absolutely unequipped to handle. There are a few basic skills involved, and so people teach each other those skills, and people are collectively refining them.

I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.

Half the street corners around here have people--from every walk of life, including republicans--standing guard to watch for suspicious vehicles, which are reported to a robust and entirely decentralized network that tracks ICE vehicles and mobilizes responders.

I got in late last night. First thing this morning, I saw cars following an ice vehicle down the street, honking at it.
Later, we didn't drive more than three blocks before we found people defending a childcare facility. (The idea that people have to defend a childcare facility... let that sink in)

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.
