I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

No idea why media still depicts Nats as a farmers party. They are a mining party beholden to coal and gas interests and funded by Gina Rinehart. When there is a conflict between farmers and fossil fuels, they always back fossil fuels. Their opposition to wind is to protect fossil fuels for longer.

It's time to make mining companies rewild their sites. They shouldn't be remediating ( hot tip they don't anyway). They should be curating and nurturing a complete restoration of the habitat flora AND fauna they destroy. Forever. Watering. Tending. Expanding. Curating. Forever.

I’m wondering about the impact of young voters on this election. Labor had a platform of policies that appealed directly to them, while the LNP largely ignored them. Does this finally herald the decline of the Boomer voting bloc?

RFK Jr. ordered the NIH’s Integrated Research Facility in Frederick to stop all research on serious infectious diseases yesterday at 5:00 PM. They study pathogens like Ebola there. You may be familiar with it from The Hot Zone. www.wired.com/story/hhs-ni...

Dutton keeps saying electricity prices have gone up $1,300. That's a complete lie - even when using his own metric of the default market offer

Albanese’s claim that the Gillard Govt’s capacity to sell its message was undermined by fact it was minority govt is wrong. It was undermined, not by being minority but by the Rudd loyalists and by pro fossil fuel ministers like Martin Ferguson in her Govt. Leaks were constant. #auspol

This is, in large part, pandemic revenge. As far as these oligarchs are concerned, all science does is tell them stuff they cannot do. They can't keep spewing carbon. They can't keep businesses open as usual when millions are dying. They have concluded that research is the enemy of profit.

The Australian government rushed through legislation to ban under 16s from using social media - a measure widely criticised by experts. But after 18 months they haven't been able to implement a total ban on gambling ads to protect children - a measure almost unanimously supported by experts. 🤷‍♀️

Toxicologist here for any fluoride concerns! The amount of fluoride added to water to prevent tooth decay is so minuscule that—no matter your age, size, or health status—you would die from water poisoning long before you could ever even start getting toxicity from fluoride. Fluoridated water is safe
