Even if we think we're fully across the issue, it's informative to read this. Do you share the sense that this has been going much faster than predicted? Earth is trapping much more heat than climate models forecast – and the rate has doubled in 20 years theconversation.com/earth-is-tra...

A treat for anyone feeling a bit nostalgic for the creative genius and humanity of John Clarke. Sadly, I had to cut the video in two for BlueSky ... 1/2 #auspol #TheGames #JohnHoward #SorrySpeech #AlwaysWasAlwaysWillBe

“The Palestinians have nowhere to go. It’s their fucking home and they’re bombing them from the skies. If you’re not calling it a genocide, what the fuck are you calling it?” www.theguardian.com/music/2025/j...

This is great to see! Rolling out EV chargers at all big box stores makes a lot of sense and helps fill in the 'missing middle' in our EV chargers network. The gap between home chargers and highway rapid charging. Story by @readfearn.bsky.social 👇

Irony is dead

I'm not a huge fan of citing the Founding Fathers (after all, they endorsed slavery and denied women the vote), but I think it's obvious that they'd be aghast to see today's Congress and Supreme Court surrender their power to an aspiring dictator.

After only managing to rearranged some landscaping in Iran last week and thus failing to meet his objectives, Trump keeps taking hits. This week Canada is REALLY giving Trump a hard time. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTS1...

To give an idea of how crazy this is, in 1 month (May, '25), China added so much solar+wind (119 GW), it equals 30% of the nameplate capacity (peak power) of the world's entire 2023 nuclear fleet built over 60y-393.4 GW In 5 months, China added 244 GW of S+W, or 62% of nuclear's nameplate capacity

Yeah. She fell... Much like a Russian General.

Spot on Mr. Reich 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Wrong headline, ABC news. Should be: 'Israeli soldiers told to fire at crowds' Ridiculous to highlight any IDF "probe" into its own war crimes. Unless of course you are doing a story on Israel's long record of self-serving propaganda. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06...

Israel is a genocide state

Energy companies lobbyists allegedly offered financial incentives to traditional owners in return for being allowed to sell gas collected during the exploration phase of Beetaloo Basin fracking operations. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

The Supreme Court murdered the Constitution today. Almost as if Trump shot someone on Fifth Avenue and got away with it.

Gift link to a chilling report from Haaretz that everyone should read. Even if only a fraction of this (and some of the paper’s previous detailed reporting on possible war crimes) is true, we should all be deeply saddened and sickened, as I am right now. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

𝘿𝙧 𝘼𝙨𝙨𝙖𝙡 𝙍𝙖𝙙— "Palestinians frantically searching for people buried alive after an Israeli strike on tents. Just unending horror from Gaza." 𝘼𝙝𝙢𝙚𝙙 𝙀𝙡𝙙𝙞𝙣 | احمد الدين— "This is what we are normalizing. "Genocide. A holocaust. "This is not war."

Last Week in Collapse: June 15-21, 2025 Some interesting info in here.

The poisonous whisperings of a man who came to Australia, got free education, enjoyed all the benefits of being an Australian but ended up betraying this country - still pedalling his ideology, poison, still undermining us all and has the temerity to talk about "Australian values"

i’m watching a video on a literal experiment to test keynes vs friedman and it is wild (also seems quite positive in implications for UBI and direct aid in general!!!)

President Trump's financial disclosure shows more than $630 million in income from 2024 including tens of millions from cryptocurrency and Trump-branded products touted on the campaign trail.

This is a message we all need to hear. 💪

Whoa!

The Supreme Court ruled that states can block Medicaid patients from receiving healthcare at Planned Parenthood.

“I don’t know of any country that is killing children as quickly, and for as long a period, as Israel is killing children in Gaza.”

Hadad asked that the hearing of #Netanyahu's criminal trial, which has been taking place twice a week in the Tel Aviv District Court, be suspended for two weeks. Netanyahu continues wars and child killing in Gaza to avoid prosecution #auspol #USpol #UKpol

“It’s best to concede the truth, the Left [within the Labor Party] doesn’t exist for public policy purposes, it exists for allocating seats and getting representation."

Trump gave Iran permission to fire missiles at U.S. troops at our base in Qatar. You’ll recall the last time this happened and our troops suffered TBI, Trump downplayed the serious injuries as “headaches.” www.washingtontimes.com/news/2025/ju...

Big Oil has known for over 50 years that burning fossil fuels would cause "globally catastrophic harms." Those are their own words. And yet they kept burning. Listen to David Arkush testify in front of Senate Judiciary on Big Oil's complicity in the climate crisis:

Dear @albomp.bsky.social cc @senatorwong.bsky.social The fact your Albanese Labor Govt refuses to say or do anything to stop Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza makes me deeply ashamed. Now you openly support the USA's illegal bombing of Iran?! Disgusted #auspol #IsraeliWarCrimes #GazaGenocide #Iran

SEND IN THE CLOWNS The only thing Trump's accomplished over the past week is teach Iran how deep they need to bury their nuclear facilities. It could be they've just learned they're already deep enough.

The national security folly of #AUKUS starts to emerge. Despite increasing geopolitical instability, our current defence capability is being cut to pay for a future sub capability that will never arrive - an ’all eggs in one imaginary basket’ solution for our defence. 🤦‍♂️ #auspol

#auspol #Aukus @greens.org.au Richard Marles is about to go running to Donald Trump with $500m of taxpayer money in his hand to help them build subs, after the first $800m he handed over already. We’ll get nothing for this money, we know that. I call on the new parliament to stop this madness

Smotrich just threatened to walk away from his alliance with Netanyahu unless all aid is halted to Northern Gaza. So Netanyahu just stopped all aid to Northern Gaza 377,000 have disappeared from Gaza so far, what next, one million? #auspol thecradle.co/articles/net...

Lobbying is is holding gambling reform hostage. Young Australians deserve to grow up without being groomed by an industry that profits from their addiction, and they deserve a government that puts their wellbeing ahead of corporate interests. @Mon4Kooyong #auspol #gambl ...

Oh no! How did this leak? Shhh don’t tell anyone

Not mad enough? Actually the number is probably higher - There were 24,350 millionaires, But only 24,211 paid net tax... So that leaves a gap of....139

Citizen science protects little penguins from Otway seismic blasts share.google/ijftCOMszoW7... C'mon Bluesky community, get behind this, it's important. Little 🐧 are declining.

Jasmine Crockett with the real talk!

Yes, I agree — it would be terrible. Please do NOT share this information!!!

Oooh oooh! I know which ones they mean!

This was always going to be the case, and I wonder what the Army and Air Force are thinking about it.
