Left leaning, socially and scientifically aware, compassionate and really pissed off with where some things are going in the world. I guess that makes me proudly woke.

It’s pretty damn validating to hear Barack Obama say the same things we’ve been shouting for months, and longer.

In the first of a new series tackling clean energy BS, Tristan Edis asks why National Party politicians are so keen to paint renewables as the enemy of the farmer while cheering on fossil fuels?

Tim Walz: "It's almost unimaginable that he's got Milei in there, giving him $20 billion, so that they can undercut us and China can buy their soybeans from them. And now China has learned they can replace our markets."

⚠️ Warning: these back-to-back scenes are hard to watch unless you’ve got a depraved heart.

These are thugs, not officers with any real training. We keep seeing it again and again, and at this point, it’s clearly the op.

Just to note. January 23, 2019 there was a vote to reopen government (HJ RES 28, roll call vote 46) when the govt had been shut down for 30 days.

Mike Johnson voted “no” on that.

They didn’t seem to mind shutdowns then

Misinformation and “astroturfing” is alive and well in energy debates in Australia, and fostering community division, as well as bullying and intimidation, inquiry hears.

Finland proposes to remove veto power by countries in UN voting. And proposes that if a country violates UN charter and resolutions, their voting rights are suspended.

It’s a fact. Data from three decades of political violence reveals that right-wing terror attacks outnumber attacks from the left.

And it’s not even close!

Labor is completely captured by gas interests. Against warnings from scientists and even their own ministers, they waved through fracking the Beetaloo for a foreign company.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.
