Ireland ditches coal by building a power system fit for a renewable future. One with the storage, flexibility, and grid infrastructure needed to run fully on clean, domestic renewable electricity. If only Australia could see a way to end its fossil fuel era. #FFdeathwatch #Auspol

Just enjoying the sunshine on this 14 degree day with a glass of Pinot Gris which by the way Australian $7.50 a bottle is quality wise as good as New Zealand Marlborough $260 dollar a bottle Pinot Gris but for personel taste they could be both exported for big dollars.

Thank You Judge

😂 "For 2025, the [US] Department of Defense requested $850 billion, roughly 3% of projected GDP."

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has officially declared Greenland part of the "U.S. homeland." 😲 Any American soldier asked to go to Greenland, remember – the "just following orders" defense didn't work at the Nuremberg trials.

GAZA IS BEING STARVED OPEN THE BORDER NOW

www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06... What cost climate disaster? ‘"It's not just important for our overall economy, it's important for regional WA," Roger Cook [claimed]. But the most recent state budget papers show the shared revenue, or royalties, the project is generating for WA is in rapid decline.’

Swalwell: I want to congratulate you. The attendance here tonight is bigger than what showed up for Trump’s birthday.

Don't stay silent on Gaza. Netanyahu's actions violate human rights and Europe needs to act. I've just emailed EU politicians to demand the suspension of the EU-Israel Association Agreement. ➡️ Send your email now and make a difference. share.greens-efa.eu/s/E4Tgy6XK

I challenge the Trump Administration to produce the birth certificate of “Sergio Gor”, or whatever his name is.

🧵 Sergio Gor's lawyer keeps sending emails threatening to sue for "defamation" with "malice" unless all posts about Gor are removed, including information widely reported in the media. Donate to our Legal Defense Fund here and let's look forward to discovery. 🔽 www.gofundme.com/f/defend-fre...

"—the government chose to avoid its obligations—under domestic and international law—to investigate Australian IDF soldiers for war crimes. "It is estimated that 1000 Australians are serving with the IDF, but this FOI continues to obscure the true number." michaelwest.com.au/blood-from-a...

"This case highlights the significant threat posed to U.S. citizens by frequent ICE errors, which are exacerbated when local law enforcement agencies participate in immigration enforcement...” www.bet.com/article/6rdn...

It’s truly pathetic and cowardly. Get desk jobs dudes!

I’ve been saying this since the election. Felon trump and elon have both said multiple times he won b/c elon “fixed it”. The corruption in the gop and our government is deep and I hope I’m alive when the truth is exposed and history records the evil of this administration.

These are the indicative estimates of Russia’s combat losses as of June 21, according to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Hard now to believe that four years ago Steven Marshall looked like he’d comfortably lead the SA Libs to a second term. Instead they were turfed out in 2022 and have fallen into such disarray that they face a 2021 WA-esque wipeout (69.7–30.3) *without* the context of a rally-around-the-govt crisis

Scientists in N. Zealand have discovered a native fungus that can break down plastic in just 140 days. Researchers at the University of Canterbury have now found that Daldinia concentrica can digest common plastics like polypropylene & polyethylene, which make up a huge portion of global waste.

there used to be ostensibly left-of-center people who would argue with you if you tried to point out that the world's richest man is very clearly also one of its dumbest

If Trump is dismissive of his own Intelligence Director who is an extreme political loyalist then what happens when we have another potential 9/11 on our hands ? Trump can’t tweet it away It’s scary times and Trump has been very lucky so far but we are very vulnerable right now I’m not wrong

GUARDIAN: Defense officials were told the only way to destroy Fordow in Iran is to drop “tactical nuclear weapons” www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

This is how much he respects the people who actually honor their oath to the Constitution. Literally the worst president in history. 🤦 May they RIP and their families find it as well. 🫡

This!

Googles is very stressed in the shelter. But they also describe her as a love bug. We need to get her out of there! They have her on a At Risk of Euthanasia list. That can’t be right! Save Googles, repost so her foster hero can find her 🙏

Look at this BS !!!!

#BlueEarth Texas does the WRONG thing AGAIN 🤬🔥

💯👏👏

That fucker 😡

an easy disguise: all you’d need are some black masks

NEW: Pope Leo’s newly appointed Bishop, Michael Pham, outside the court in San Diego: “We need to speak up for the voiceless in our society - and we will.” The video then shows masked ICE agents leaving without snatching anyone today. More of this resistance nationwide! 👏 (🎥 PSL San Diego)

Ted Cruz "hates communists" because Cuban President Fulgencio Batista, who was *not* a communist, imprisoned and tortured Cruz's father for helping Fidel Castro, who *was* a communist and who freed Cruz's father from the non-communist prison. Proving, once again, that Cruz speaks absolute rubbish.

If you think attacking a nation will liberate it from extremists, just look what happens when the U.S. gets attacked. Our civil liberties go out the door while the government claims emergency powers.

Some Law Enforcement officers violate their oath just for being told to "honor your oath bitch". Which means their little MAGA feelings, pride, toxic masculinity, authoritarianism is all more important to them than our Constitutional Rights; like Trump, law and Constitution mean nothing to despots.

Their plan is working. Flood the zone.

Q: Your intelligence community says they have no evidence that Iran is building a nuke TRUMP: Then my intelligence community is wrong. Who said that? Q: You director of national intelligence Tulsi Gabbard TRUMP: She's wrong
