It’s not feasible for a political party to win in Australia without a credible commitment to reducing carbon emissions, and that is only likely to become more so as the planet warms and life becomes less tolerable and more expensive through higher insurance premiums 👇

It's rather remarkable and quite illuminating that Louis Theroux is being accused of antisemitism by simply broadcasting the words of Zionists.

“The government is asserting a right to stash away residents of this country in foreign prisons without the semblance of due process that is the foundation of our constitutional order." - from the 4th Circuit's ruling on the Abrego-Garcia case.
The US judiciary is still holding the line.
The US judiciary is still holding the line.
A Reagan-appointed judge just issued a scathing rebuke of the government’s actions in the Abrego Garcia case, warning of a constitutional crisis and executive overreach. This ruling is stunning—because it had to be.

I'm old enough to remember JD Vance saying in the debate in October: "The most sacred right under the United States democracy is the First Amendment. . . . Kamala Harris wants to use the power of government and big tech to silence people from speaking their minds. That is a threat to democracy."
A Tufts graduate student from Turkey has been taken into ICE custody. She had co-authored an op-ed calling on the school to divest from companies with ties to Israel.

If the Atlantic journo that got added to Trump’s war-planning Signal chat was Australian, he could’ve copped two years in prison just for being added. How? @daanysaeed.bsky.social explains.
To leave or not to leave the Trump war planning group chat? That is the question
The US government is in hot water after top officials added a reporter to a group chat about bombing Yemen. We asked three eminent Australian journalists what they would have done if it were them.

If the White House is insisting that there was no classified or secret information in the Signal chat, does that mean Jeffrey Goldberg can publish it all?

At University of Cambridge, I was asked if I maintain a sense of optimism about climate change. My answer:
Yes, because unlike cancer, where we often don't know the cause and don't have a cure, we know exactly why global temperatures are rising and how to stop it. We just need the political will.

No one alive will experience a better climate than today. But young people will experience a much more dangerous and chaotic world in the future, and the extent to which that happens will depend on our choices today. Trump doesn't care because he's old and a sociopath.
