#Australia has already approved way more #coal mines than it needs to meet expected demand, so why approve more? The capacity of approved coal mines already exceeded production by about 70% in 2023 and would be about 2.5x higher than IEA forecast levels under their 1.7C scenario #energy #climate

Quietly detach the US from Five Eyes. They’re only passing info to the Russians at this point anyway.

With alt text, because lol

It occurs to me that if it is true of this act of civil disobedience it would be true of all others.

this is genuinely shocking. this is a very particular strain of american nazi shit - this isn’t a conspiracy theory that exists outside of that belief system. this is not something you would say if you aren’t well versed in neonazi talking points.

THAT DIDN'T TAKE LONG: Plaintiffs in one lawsuit against DOGE have alerted the court to President Trump's remarks tonight calling Elon Musk the "head" of the office.

A cyclone coming in on southern Queensland/northern NSW is surreal. Brisbane gets intense storms, but a cyclone is a totally different thing. I don’t know if they’ve ever been that far south

It looks like Centrelink is going to put the capper on my Cyclone Alfred experience by ensuring that I can't pay rent during it. Thanks, guys!

seeing how poorly mainstream/neolib Dems are responding to this moment is like being tied to the trolley while an out of control train is coming and watching people who could pull levers to stop it instead choose to hold up little signs saying "please stop"

Trump bore nation. Trump take egg

This image should be printed on postcards and mailed to every Democratic legislator in Washington Once a day, all year

Lmao the Dems saying "let's wear pink" and then like 5 people show up wearing different shades so it looks like an accident instead of planned is a pretty apt description of the party as it stands.

My God: they are selling off federal buildings and no longer planning on collecting revenues. Again, none of this is about efficiency. I know the IRS is not popular, but for every dollar invested it generates about $7 in returns. The goal is not to save money but to stop collecting it.

Were anyone remotely interested in what I'm doing? I'm getting ready to be hit by a cyclone courtesy of Peter Dutton's climate denial. #FuckDutton #FuckTheLNP

With the amount of lies, each Democrat should have stood up , said their piece, and been removed. Cowards

US Rep Al Green removed by Trump's Nazi while others sat and watched or jeer at him. He stood up to Trump and told him he had no mandate to disrupt Medicaid for millions of people. Make a list of which politicians you are going to keep. So far it's a short list. #3E #SOTU

oh good a senate hearing on republican white supremacist definitions of antisemitism that have been imposed on students protesting the annihilation of Palestinians, being run by *this* administration, that should improve everything

Just gonna leave this here

The Democrats are already planning 2028 with no regard to what happens to you from 2025-2028, understand that. They’re not going to fight for you, you have to fight for yourselves. They let that man address the nation and lie uninterrupted tonight with the exception of a singular democrat.

I literally organized an action where we did this to the CEO of Sunoco and it was so effective. By the end she was starting to cry, I kid you not.

“I hope, Senator, after you've lost, and the Empire reigns over the galaxy unopposed, you will find some comfort in the knowledge that you fought according to the rules.” — Saw Gerrera

No, Democrats, these little auction signs aren't it. You're acting like Wes Anderson characters who don't understand that they're in a Tarantino movie.

One time in the Australian parliament 18 MPs got ejected in 70 minutes. It was just like a random Thursday and they were feeling rowdy. Meanwhile only one Democrat is willing to disrupt proceedings and get kicked out during Trump's speech. Wild.

Trump take egg

Let this sink in.

MAGA voters have been dismayed to discover that Donald Trump’s promise to begin a ‘Golden Age’ for America, actually just meant he would urinate all over everything until it was no longer useable.

No, Rita. The “sisterhood” isn’t a fan of a woman who shamelessly endorses an adjudicated rapist POTUS, supported an LNP PM who thought women protesting against sexual violence should be “grateful they weren’t met with bullets”and backs a leader who dismissed a claim of rape as “he said, she said”

The salmon industry has finally owned up and admitted that there are 60 salmon farming jobs on Tasmania's west coast, not 400, as has been often claimed. Story in the ABC: www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03...

President Trump says rates of pediatric cancer are way up, but his incompetent fanatics on DOGE fired my guest tonight, Dr. Lauren McGee, a remarkable pediatric cancer researcher who was sacked from NIH as part of Musk’s Valentine’s Day onslaught.

The laughter by chuckles junior and the Speaker of the House of chuckles while Trump talks about imperialistic conquest of an ally is really something. Bookmark this moment for when the first American soldier dies in service of Trump’s warmongering.

I'm just a student like all these other students. OK, yes, I have a lot of experience, but I still feel like a fraud when they approach me with questions. I guess I'm not doing myself any favors by having the answers they're looking for

My research shows *strong* resistance to being forced back into the office. Progressives who talk to friends/family about how this policy would also send a strong signal to the private sector, risking everyone's wfh, will have an interested audience. Don't assume people will hear about it otherwise.

Saw this on Facebook and it’s the truth.

I don't understand why the DAILY MESSAGE from these losers isn't "ELON AND THE REPUBLICANS ARE STEALING FROM YOU TO ENRICH THEMSELVES AND THEIR BILLIONAIRE BACKERS." Why is this hard????????????????????/

As far as I can tell here's where we are with govt funding negotiations GOP: we need some of your votes for a continuing resolution DEMS: okay. can we add literally anything in there about Trump actually following it? GOP: lol no get bent losers DEMS: uhhhhhhh GOP: THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT
