Why am I an Aussie who is so into U.S.A. politics? I understand the place. My mother was U.S.A. born and my U.S.A. relatives are MAGA types, so there is often dialogue on the big issues. Also somehow ancestrally connected to President #18 (Rep). It was a very different Republican party back then.

A gas exploration drilling rig has appeared within sight of one of Australia’s most loved natural wonders, the 12 Apostles.

We don’t need to turn our iconic natural wonders into gas fields. We need to prioritise Australians over exports.

@emmashortis.bsky.social went to take a look ⤵️
There's a huge new gas rig looming over our 12 Apostles

An open letter to The Greens
On election night, I sat glued to the TV, hanging on Antony Green's every word. All I wanted was the defeat of the Liberals and huge gains for the Greens.

This weekend we saw a rejection of Dutton’s far-right, pro-nuclear, Trumpian agenda. The Greens will always refuse to engage in this kind of politics.

We will always be for people and planet, not on keeping the status quo or culture wars made to discriminate and divide.

Look, I'm so happy that Dutton is gone and it's a Labor win rather than the LNP. But, to see Labor win such a majority and people turn their backs on the Greens and others pushing for *genuine* progress for social and environmental justice makes me very sad. Labor are neoliberal light. #AusVotes25

My next book to read arrived today:-

THE CAPTIVE MIND, by Czeslaw Milosz.

It is an oldie (1951) but won Nobel Prize in Literature, The Guardian says "A frightening book. It ought to be read".

Very relevant to the present situation in the U.S.A. and potentially elsewhere.

If the news isn’t going to report this then we have to! @maddow.msnbc.com @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com
Yesterday, TX Rep. Keith Self (R) quoted Nazi Joseph Goebbels on controlling public opinion🤬

Using Nazi propaganda is more than vile; it’s a flashing red siren. This is how democracy dies: not with a bang, but with silence in the face of fascist rot.

America, do not be silent.
Call out evil.
