A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Hearing a disturbing rumour that the UK Treasury may have lobbied the German government to NOT invest in Brazil's fund to save tropical rainforests (TFFF).

If true, not only are the UK betraying Brazil, they're trying to get other nations to do so.

ITV in talks to sell television business to Sky.

Sky is owned by US-based Comcast, largest shareholders include Vanguard Group, BlackRock.

CMA must block the takeover. No one must own more than one major media outlet. Need diversity and competition.

Absolutely amazing: they've got so much solar in Australia that they need more people to use more of it, so the gov't has instructed energy retailers to offer *at least three hours of free power* during the middle of the day.

Meanwhile fossil-addled US struggles with an energy-price crisis ...

Saying there is enough solar power for everyone in the daytime, Climate Change Minister Chris Bowen will direct retailers to provide three hours of free power every day to consumers.

NEW: Footage of a US citizen in Chicago being rammed then dragged from her car on her way to work.

Abducted, with no warrant, her family couldn’t find her for hours.

She was later released with NO CHARGE.

A DHS statement said she “violently resisted arrest, injuring two officers”.

92%: the percentage of funding for Nigel Farage's far-right political party Reform UK that comes from fossil fuel interests.

Across the world, anyone blaming immigrants, etc, it's all just a smokescreen to allow the rich to keep on getting richer by killing our planet.

US rooftop solar costs 7 times more than in Australia and 2.8 times more than in Germany.

Why?

Soft cost like permitting, inspections and interconnection are 78% of US rooftop solar costs.

Monopoly utilities and municipalities mainly drive these costs.
