My article on our new number one budget priority: endless war needs endless defence related spending and the media can be relied on for the big sell. #China

The Chris Hedges Report Podcast with Roger Hallam, the co-founder of Extinction Rebellion who was recently released from jail, on why civil disobedience is all that can save us now from catastrophe. https://t.co/ErG3hsW7BN

Making the excellent point that the dominant work of societies has shifted from agriculture, to manufacturing, to IT, to finance. IT began the split from reality, a massive enabler of what Graeber called 'bullshit jobs'. Finance is BS on steroids.

What was the reason countries opened up? Business.

Who were the greatest users of Covid welfare? Business.

After public health orders, who is now responsible for managing Covid for most of us? Business.

In aggregate who is spending and doing nothing about Covid? Business.

Looking for a barrister prepared to work pro-bono to challenge the Victorian State Government on the removal of masking from public transport as it removes safe access to health care and support services for many vulnerable and disabled people. Please retweet. @VictorianCHO

This afternoon @larissawaters and I have lodged a Senate motion censuring Senator Hanson for her anti-migrant attack telling me to “piss off back to Pakistan”.

I call on all my colleagues to support the motion and affirm that racism has no place in our public debate.

Sure would be helpful if high profile people on here and elsewhere would start calling for emergency climate action #EmergencyMode

The reduction of publication of Covid data in Australia happened just after the month that more Australians were killed by Covid than any other so far. Is there more than a handful of journalists in this country actually doing their jobs? #auspol #covid19aus

This planet is more important than my career, your career, or anyone's career. I wish there were at least a few politicians willing to risk their careers to stop irreversible global heating and keep Earth habitable.

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

Johnson’s government was casually corrupt. Truss’s is systematically corrupt. She has chosen a cabinet that listens to the money, not the people. Her advisers come from dark money thinktanks: covertly-funded lobby groups, promoting the interests of oligarchs and corporations.🧵

JobSeeker should be raised to at least $88 a day.

We live in a wealthy country - no one should be forced to live in poverty.

[Peter Kalmus @ClimateHuman]

Almost no influential people even thinking or talking about Earth breakdown yet let alone taking action. seriously wtf is it going to take

[Alan Baxter ♛ @AlanBixter]

IT IS ***NOT*** OVER. NOT past the peak. NOT trending down. NOT fading away. NOT getting milder. NOT just like a cold. NOT just a flu. NOT only affecting old people. NOT only affecting people with a pre-existing condition. STOP LYING & START BUILDING A SAFER WORLD.

[Peter Kalmus @ClimateHuman]

My god, how loudly will Earth need to scream before y'all wake up and take global heating seriously? We could stop this FAST if it were only a fucking priority

[Dr Shane Huntington OAM @DrShaneRRR]

Governments clearly have no interest in mandating masks because deaths, long Covid and health care system failure are not high enough yet to get them to act.

But at the very least they can supply free P2 masks to everyone.

[RottenRonnie @RonnieRotten]

With Covid numbers & deaths increasing (109 people lost in the last 3 days in Vic.),retweet this if you think that masks should be mandated.

[Peter Kalmus @ClimateHuman]

Tell everyone you know, everyone you see: We are in a genuine climate emergency, it's caused by burning fossil fuels, we risk losing everything, the way out is ending the fossil fuel industry, and the sooner we do this the less we lose

[Mark Dickenson @bugwannostra]

.@AlboMP, Barnaby Joyce racked up $675K in expenses in 3 weeks as drought envoy. He says he sent texts to PM Scott Morrison who blocks FOI requests & refuses to release phone records.
Retweet if you want a forensic audit & a police investigation with all documents made public.
