www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... Trump’s war on Iran is causing Americans to spend almost 50% more on gas on average. And the diesel fuel needed to transport almost everything else we buy now averages more than $6.00 a gallon, which is also being passed on to consumers.

The world saw a huge drop in right-wing engagement online after Ukraine starting striking data centers in Russia. Evidence points towards Russia being behind large bot operations to promote MAGA, the AfD, Reform, and other pro-Russian extreme parties in the West.

13-year-old Kseniia Pikalova might well have been outraged by the Starlink restrictions #Musk imposed without warning. But she never will be – because a Russian Smerch rocket attack killed her, her mother, and her grandmother on October 12.

Climate change caused by the burning of fossil fuels is over heating our planet. The most important thing we can do to reduce our heating climate is to stop mining and burning fossil fuels. Electrify everything with renewable energy.

The boldness Australia needs has no political home right now
When the Cold War ended, the US became Asia's uncontested leader. The hope, at the time, was that China would simply go along with that arrangement. Clearly, that's not how things are turning out.

If the Greens' recent polling continues, the party may surprise in a number of "sleeper" seats in the Victorian election, writes Leo Puglisi. www.crikey.com.au/2026/10/14/v...

Could the Greens flip these 'sleeper' seats in Victoria?
Much of the focus has been on One Nation ahead of the Victorian election in November. But the Greens — if recent positive polling continues — may surprise in certain seats with tight margins.

Monique Ryan says she won’t be losing any sleep over a potential Josh Frydenberg comeback, saying the ppl of Kooyong won’t forget his shocking failures when he was Treasurer, or how he “punched down on Victoria during the COVID years.”🎯🔥 Indeed, Victorians will never forget.

Three weeks out from her election Trump has sent Federal agents in to raid US Congresswoman Ilhan Omar. This is part of his attack on migrants, especially Somali migrants. We need to resist this racist authoritarian politics wherever it rises. Wrong in the US, wrong here too.
