He's telling us what he's doing. Using the military to suppress protest. At some point the opposition needs to listen to him and adjust strategy.

The government needs to understand that if Australia and many other countries continue to support fossil fuels, there won’t be any renewable energy superpowers. #auspol #renewables #fossilfuels
Trump didn't write this... who's driving?
Guilty of perverting the course of justice.
I don’t expect any punishment though, justice doesn’t work that way in the NT.
Blak = guilty
White = extenuating circumstances, not guilty.

Why are so many US CEOs so indifferent about Trump's damaging economic policies? Here's a theory: They believe AI will make them all irrelevant (via Bloomberg Opinion)
1/ 🚨 Conspiracy theories about the 2024 election miss the bigger picture.
The truth? It wasn’t one night, one hack, or one fraud. It was a system rigged in plain sight – right in front of us. The playbook was out in the open for years. But hardly anyone paid attention.
Here’s how they did it... 🧵

Networks—especially ABC, Disney, Hulu, and CBS—need to hear this: you’re standing on the wrong side of history, bending the knee to authoritarianism before the fight even begins, even though the law’s on your side.
You’re losing viewers. We’re not going to stand w/you when you’re not standing w/us!
High school student (wass in 3rd grade when Trump was first elected) outside ABC/Disney in New York protest for Jimmy Kimmel:
“The fact that they are silencing famous, rich, cishet, white men, the most privileged, protected group in America, shows that no one is safe from Trump’s authoritarianism.”

Peter Theil’s Palantir technologies make a deal with Coles Supermarkets in Australia to spy on customers and staff.
This is how democracy is dying the USA 🇺🇸 - giving billionaires a monopoly❗️
Australians don’t want or need Palantir spying on Australians‼️
🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Corporate crimes go unpunished in Australia. When there’s no accountability, it’s us who suffer the consequences.

President Masoud Pezeshkian also says Tehran will ‘overcome obstacles’ if wide-ranging UN sanctions are reimposed.
It is something that must be addressed for the energy transition to be sustained at a high pace over the coming decades. The 2025 edition, released on Wednesday, shows that “the renewables sector is making significant progress on embedding human rights into its operations, despite the challenging environment created by adverse government policies (notably in the USA), high interest and inflation costs”. The reports authors put this down to two factors. First, a recognition among the companies that rampant human rights abuses in the renewable sector will only slow down the transition and weaken their businesses. And pre-emptive company policy change in advance of new European Union regulations.
EVIDENCE-BASED GOOD NEWS FOR YA
A new report shows that a bunch of renewable energy companies have massively improved their human rights record. This is good! And important!

I interviewed historian @emmashortis.bsky.social on the particulars of American fascism, comparisons with Nazism, the global crisis of democracy, and Australia's options. None of this is particularly cheery stuff, but you might find some clarity in it.
