Donald Trump's war with Iran has sent energy prices through the roof - Australians are fighting back by putting solar panels on their rooftops. In the first half of 2026 we installed 180,878 rooftop solar systems and 276,011 home batteries, massively exceeding expectations.

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.

September 22 is commemorated in Estonia as Resistance Day. It marks a critical historical window in September 1944 when Estonia attempted to restore its de facto statehood and constitutional government between the departure of Nazi German forces and the arrival of the Soviet Red Army. 🧵

Nothing the Albo govt loves shelving more than a "long-standing commitment"‼️ Spox: "the promise would not be kept before the next election because the government did not want to “exacerbate cost of living pressures”."

While this is as depressing as expected, a couple things to keep in mind: - Saxony-Anhalt is a small Bundesland (population ~2 million) - building a regional government will likely be difficult - it doesn’t directly affect Germany’s Ukraine or Russia policy - this is why Germany is a federal state

Ich möchte nicht, dass mir Politiker*innen und Journalist*innen erklären, dass es nunmal Demokratie sei, wenn mehrheitlich Nazis gewählt werden. Ich erwarte, dass sie verstehen, dass die Demokratie demokratisch abgeschafft werden kann und dass das Grundgesetz davor schützen sollte.
