This isn’t a war. It’s a genocide. Over 54,000 people in Gaza killed. The EU still rewards Israel with a 16B€/year trade deal. We can help suspend it — sign the petition now! share.myvoice-mychoice.org/s/SrCOjVF4

Instead of obsessing about Climate 200's crowdfunding to support candidates committed to saving our planet, maybe the media could focus more on Atlas Network's funding of individuals and organisations to promote climate denialism and undermine democracy to benefit the (very) privileged few?
A vote for the Liberal Party of Australia is a vote for the #AtlasNetwork and the destructive and noxious actions, values and beliefs held by individuals, politicians, governments, organisations aligned with it.

With the Coalition's decision to preference One Nation, the firewall against the Australian far right has been overrun. Why doesn't the media seem to care?

The decision — like the 'concerns' over Welcomes to Country — tells us less about the presumed change in One Nation and more about the Dutton-era change in the Coalition.

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.
This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.
Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.
And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).
