So grateful for Sarah's courage and honesty

I was today years old when I found Lenin's analysis of the 1913 Aus Fed election. Includes this:

...The ALP does not even call itself a socialist party. Actually it is a liberal-bourgeois party, while the so-called Liberals in Australia are really Conservatives...

Screenshot of a November 3, 2000 article in the Australian Jewish News. Albanese was reported to have spoken at a demonstration in Canberra that took place earlier that week. “Pro-Palestinian Labor MP Anthony Albanese … said he would support a United Nations peacekeeping force, including Australians. This would ‘ensure we have an end to the killing which is going on day after day’,” the article stated.

Young Albo to be deported by Antisemitism envoy he appointed.

Climate socialism I am writing this message to the millions of people who have been involved in the climate movement over the past several years.

'...these policies are highly popular, and can form the basis of a winning political platform. Democratic socialism, where we extend the principle of democracy into the realm of production, is a viable path — indeed the only path — to a safe and just future.'

No baby formula has entered Gaza for four months because of Israel’s genocidal blockades. There is nothing left to feed babies and their mothers can not produce milk as they themselves are starving. There is no defending what Israel is doing. No justification.

Australia has an insurance crisis. Climate change will make it worse Climate change makes disasters more frequent and more destructive, this is leading insurance companies to charge higher prices.

Australia has a home insurance crisis and climate change is going to make it worse – @jack-thrower.bsky.social in @thenewdaily.bsky.social.

"Between 2022-2023, the average home insurance premium in Australia rose by 14%, the biggest increase in a decade. A major reason for this is #climate change."

A scuffle in the lolly aisle. The sickening death toll climbs. Another family face gut-wrenching grief | Lorena Allam Australians will rally this weekend to mourn Kumanjayi White, a Warlpiri man with disabilities who stopped breathing after being restrained by NT police

Justice for Kumanjayi White: Snap Rally

- Friday 6 June
- 5:30pm
- Victorian Parliament Steps, Spring Street, Melbourne

Last week, Kumanjayi White was killed while being restrained by NT Police in a Coles supermarket in Mparntwe (Alice Springs).

Labor have just approved a 45 year extension to our most polluting gas project faster than Peter Dutton said he would if he won office.

They sold out to their fossil fuel donors a long ago, and it's never been clearer.

Politics with a heart 💚 to get shit done!

@larissawaters.bsky.social and @mehreenfaruqi.bsky.social are the dream team - powerful, compassionate & brilliant women with a heap of experience & a tonne of intellectual heft.

To the politicians & ‘leaders’ who’ve nurtured & emboldened racism in Australia, then condemn & feign shock at the repugnant booing incident...

Fanning the flames, then expressing sorrow at the damage the fire’s doing.

We see the hate mongering, greedy, opportunists you are.

The Greens are running in seats across the country — and today we confirm our how-to-vote cards will preference Labor ahead of the Liberals.

Vote 1 Greens to keep Dutton out and get Labor to act on the cost of living, housing and climate crisis.

This year's TreeProject seedlings are coming along nicely. I'm loving watching the golden wattles' transition from their juvenile to adult leaves. It's like they start with little tiny solar powered CO2 - oxygen converters then scale up when they've stored up enough energy

The Age can have my $20 a month or Clive's $200k for today's front page ad that harms vulnerable people. 

But they can't have both.

Until their policies are updated or #auspol passes truth in political advertising laws, my $20 pcm will instead go to support Transgender Victoria's work

This New York train station was the world’s most expensive. Sunshine may have it beat The architecturally splendid Oculus, at New York’s rebuilt World Trade Centre, cost $US4 billion to build. Sunshine station could give the record a nudge.

Growing gardens on the grave of the old world - celebrating community energy - Green Agenda By building alternative systems from the ground up while existing systems collapse, communities like Yackandandah are creating pathways to a democratic and ecological future

The old world is dead. Its corpse is attracting flies.

We have to bury it.

Then we can grow our gardens on its grave, and share the food and smell the flowers.

I wrote this in November, but just posted it. It’s a speech to the 10th birthday party of an awesome community renewable energy group.

Amnesty International concludes Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza Amnesty International’s research has found sufficient basis to conclude that Israel has committed and is continuing to commit genocide against Palestinians in the occupied Gaza Strip.

Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out.

Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation.

Say equity, which a just society should pursue.

Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.
