70% of emmissions come from 1% of the population. That 1% of the population does not deal with the consequences of those emmissions. You do.

If Victoria is serious about real, material, lasting safety, it must abandon punishment and invest in the conditions that allow children to thrive. Long sentences don’t deter. They don’t heal. They don’t prevent harm. #auspol #Vicpol #youthjustice
Stop pretending punishment works
When Premier Jacinta Allan is photographed proudly advancing Victoria’s Treaty process, she is rightly praised.

We can—and should—collectively stop saying shit like “oh if you behave a certain way, it will just embolden the fascists.” They’re already as bold as they can get.

Not meeting the foundations of democracy from the outset, America is an oligarchy snuffing out the glimmers of constitutional hope that once clung to its flawed institutions. #auspol #USpolitcs
What's wrong with America's democracy? There has never been one
We cannot but sympathise with those who lament the destruction of American democracy as they see the rule of law dissolve before them and the once revered Constitution thrown into the wastepaper basket.

Excellent reporting from Heated and Atmos.

It looks like some of the biggest investors in the anti-trans movement are fossil fuel billionaires who are trying to use trans issues to ensure that Republicans pass policies favorable to their industry.

With accelerated deployment of targeted strategic public and private investment, Australia has every opportunity to show international leadership and draw a line under the climate and energy inertia of the past. It’s time to stake our place in the global transition. #auspol #climate #energy

When Charlie Kirk advocated for us to be killed they called it free speech.

Politely, we can exercise our free speech by politely and decently celebrating this decent, polite family man's violent death.
I am advocating for you to be killed but I am using my inside voice you must debate me this is called democracy
