I follow people in the UK, US, Canada, NZ, Australia & plenty of other places, and we're all bitching about the same fucking thing. Different governments, same billionaire class, same neoliberal bullshit, same people getting screwed. At what point does complaining become a global fucking uprising?

This isn’t a routine extension. It’s the largest coal mine expansion proposed in NSW. Approving 429 million tonnes of coal well into the 2040s is completely incompatible with climate action. If Labor has any shred of climate integrity left, it must reject this project.

This project is a critical test of Labor’s climate credibility. The Hunter Valley Operations project would allow 429 million tonnes of coal to be mined through to 2045. Labor can’t claim to take climate action seriously and wave through 800 million tonnes of pollution.

Every year we delay real climate action, the bill gets higher — in lives, in money, and in irreversible loss. The cheapest, safest, and most just path is rapid transition to clean energy + nature protection now. Delay is the most expensive choice of all. #ClimateCrisis

The difference between AI and social media is that one was created by men who decline any responsibility for the damage it wreaks, and the other was created by men who decline any responsibility for the damage it wreaks. Hope that’s cleared it up.

Your regular reminder (so you know I haven't died) that no amount of money can buy back the ecosystems and agricultural productivity that the climate damage from fossil carbon mining and burning causes. A gas tax without an explicit plan to wind down the industry is a plan to destroy the climate.

That isn’t social cohesion. That is creating a hierarchy of racism where some victims are seen as worthy and others are seen as an afterthought. We’ve seen this pattern over and over again. The budget included more than $600 million in Antisemitism measures, but did not mention Islamophobia once.
