An old bag of wind now but with enduring passion for action on climate. We lost the race for 1.5C so evolving to adapt to a 2+C world. Failure is NOT an option.

[Glenn Brown @C4CCAction]

More people need to listen/ watch Michael Hudson. Courageous man. For non-economists like me too.

[Steve Hall @ProfHall1955]

Must read. In one interview Michael Hudson identifies the root of today's grossly unfair, unstable economy and sums up almost everything I've been clumsily trying to get across on this site over the past couple of years. Please share. https://t.co/OfwOG8A7UQ

Politicians are drunk at the fucking wheel & our kids are strapped in the back.

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

It is a broken Christianity that says “God protected him!” when a president survives and “thoughts and prayers” when school kids die.

A god who only protects the powerful and not the vulnerable is an idol.

My daughter Annika is proudly autistic and 12 years old.

She drew this butterfly from a photo she took herself — every vein, every scale, rendered by hand on a tablet.

She signs everything she makes. Dates it. Like she already knows it matters.

She's turning 13 tomorrow. Please share this for her birthday. Let's make her day.

@PeterCronau Australia had all the ingredient to be a strong independent nation. It chose to be weak and dependent. Now the chickens are coming home to roost. Author Donald Horne was correct when he said Australia was a first-rate country run by second-rate people.

[Glenn Brown @C4CCAction]

If NATO were to collapse and the US were to remove their bases from Europe they would have to fight their wars from their own shores. So they would have to fight their wars with proxies like Ukraine and Israel. What strategic position does Aus have in war between US & China?

[Cameron Leckie @leckie_cameron]

@BowesChay I'd be more than happy if every last member of the 🇺🇸 armed forces in 🇦🇺 left our soil

They are not here to defend us

[Mike Hudema @MikeHudema]

The people doing this to our world are building bunkers.

Time to wake up & get furious.

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

It is hard to name the kind of grief you feel as you watch the Christian movement that raised you continually justify the most vile things, all for the sake of power, influence, and money.

It’s hard to name the grief of knowing that there is nothing so vile they won’t justify.

[Glenn Brown @C4CCAction]

I think he would.

[💧wayne @libliars]

@Jvnior @ScummoLNPlosers Trump wouldn't know if his arse was on fire.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

The uniparty in action

[Glenn Brown @C4CCAction]

So our plane can come home now the US has retreated. How is Trump still there in the wheelhouse of the Titanic. I expected he would have been thrown overboard by the officers or crew!

[Kerry Burgess @KerryBurgess]

It's probably time for the US to leave Europe as well.

[Glenn Brown @C4CCAction]

Everyone should read Michaels work a lot on YouTube. This one is really eye opening if there is no link scan the ones on YouTube looking for the couch.

[Relearning Economics @RelearningEcon]

"There are essentially two types of society: mixed economies with public checks and balances, and oligarchies that dismantle and privatize the state, taking over its monetary and credit system, the land and basic infrastructure."

-Michael Hudson

[Restore Australia @JohnOBrien101]

This is what we need in Australia

[TG Wilson @_tgwilson_]

Michael Hudson on how the US rigged the game: Forced Latin American nations into 'free trade' no-tariff hell, growing local food banned via World Bank loans.

Self-sufficiency is considered an act of war—cue CIA coups, kidnappings, assassinations, & deeper food/oil dependency.

[Steve Hall @ProfHall1955]

This reads like the opening paragraph of a 14-year-old schoolboy's essay on recent cultural history. These people must be removed from all positions of power and influence. They really are sufficiently immature, stupid and malevolent to usher in Dystopia.

[Rutger Bregman @rcbregman]

Peter Thiel literally wrote that freedom and democracy are not 'compatible' and that regulating Big Tech is the work of the 'anti-Christ'. Stop treating this as metaphor. When billionaires tell you they want to end democracy, take them seriously.

[Doug Cameron @DougCameron51]

Albo says he’s looking at every practical option to ease pressure on the public,
Here’s a couple of options:
Deal with the cause not the symptoms.
Stop appeasing Trump and Netanyahu tell them to cease their illegal war.
Build independence, cancel the AUKUS madness.
Put Aus first

[Craig Emerson @DrCraigEmerson]

Unemployment is already 4.1% - not low. World oil price hikes will slow the economy further. The @RBAInfo can’t influence the price of oil. There is no wages breakout. Yet the cash rate has gone up. Wrong move.

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

The right wing papers are saying the pension age needs to be raised to 75.

I counter, the number of billionaires needs to be reduced to 0.

That will affect 0.00006% of people, and they will still be far too rich.

But it will pay for pensions, healthcare, housing and much more.

[David Pocock @DavidPocock]

What will it take for the major parties to put Australians ahead of vested interests from gambling giants to multinational gas companies to big tech?

If AI data centres are putting strain on our construction workforce, energy and water supply, the least we can do is get some kind of return for Australians.

Reasonable tax settings won't stop investment or prevent Australia being an attractive destination - that's just industry talking points trying to spook govt.
