Meet @GabrielleKuiper, one of Australia’s leading thinkers on the energy transition. A ‘light bulb’ moment as a university student led #WomenInScience, Dr Gabrielle Kuiper, into energy research and eventually to @CSIRO.(https://t.co/W3Y9pu4bjG)

Tilda Swinton "The inhumane is being perpetrated on our watch. I’m here to name it without hesitation.. & to lend my unwavering solidarity to all those who recognise the unacceptable complacency of our greed addicted governments who make nice with planet wreckers & war criminals"

"The oppressor consciousness tends to transform everything surrounding it into an object of its domination. The earth, property, production, the creations of people, people themselves, time-everything is reduced to the status of objects at its disposal." - Paulo Freire

[Dr Gabrielle Kuiper @GabrielleKuiper]

'Tyrannical societies are governed by the rules of dominance and subordination. These rules are quite simple: The strong do as they will because they can. The weak and vulnerable submit. Bystanders are fearfully silent, wilfully blind, or willingly complicit’ - Judith Herman

[Prof Michael E. Mann @MichaelEMann]

Note to journalists: If you are writing about these wildfires and not mentioning climate change at all, you are complicit w/ an agenda-driven campaign of misinformation by the right.

[Punter's Politics @punterspolitix]

A new year with the same old scams. A whole new bunch of punters have started to follow in the last few months so I thought I would start 2025 just like last year, by pointing out the biggest scam ever pulled on the Aussie punter that is still being run to this very day! #auspol

[Rex Patrick @MrRexPatrick]

Scores of top university bureaucrats earn more than the Federal Treasurer while teaching staff have been victims of massive wage theft. Our universities have become greedy corporations, no longer the nation building institutions they’re meant to be. 1/2 #auspol

[Doctors Against Genocide @docstopgenocide]

Send an email to your representatives demanding an immediate release of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya and other healthcare worker hostages illegally detained by Israel. Demand to end Israel's genocide Palestine and to uphold medical neutrality. https://t.co/bKLjM5IHSA #endgenocide #notanotherchildnotanotherhospital #doctorsagainstgenocide #neveragainforanyone #DrHussamAbuSafiya #medicide#sickfromgenocide

[Craig Foster @Craig_Foster]

Hope you are able to take some time to reflect on 2024 and look ahead to the new year.

In doing so, there is much that needs collective voice and action.

Issues that affect us all, humanity, and the only planet we have, and without relying on billionaires to find a new one while allowing this one to degrade and people to suffer.

2025 is a good time to renew our commitment to each other, to shared human rights and objective standards of conduct among countries, and to directing actions and resources towards a sustainable future for our kids.

Something to think about over the break.

In 2021 the Govt of Qatar was forecast to collect $26.6 billion in royalties from its LNG reserves. Our Govt was forecast to receive $800 million for the same volume of gas. Both the old parties have given away our wealth and aren’t likely to change this state of affairs. #auspol

And, since everything is connected, you can do that anywhere, at any level, in any job, in any geography.

[Dr. Elizabeth Sawin @bethsawin]

This doesn't mean there's nothing to be done. There's a world of things to do, from divesting from the dead-end epistemologies and embodying life-sustaining ones to disrupting patterns of domination and strengthening patterns of mutuality.

[Dr. Elizabeth Sawin @bethsawin]

...and double down on the same ill-conceived strategies of domination, extraction, wealth accumulation, and separation.

[Dr. Elizabeth Sawin @bethsawin]

It's happening because, for hundreds of years, centers of power have operated from a worldview that does not fit how the world works and eventually that kind of break with reality has consequences that stretch back around all they way to the centers of power.

[Dr. Elizabeth Sawin @bethsawin]

It's happening because, instead of taking loss & suffering as a sign that something is wrong in that core thinking (and the politics and economics emerging from it) and looking for alternatives, centers of power instead hide the evidence through misinformation and corruption...

[Dr. Elizabeth Sawin @bethsawin]

It's not an accident or bad luck that many systems are spinning into red alert territory all at the same time, friends.

It's happening because everything is connected so crises spiral and cascade and converge.
