How the fuck do we live in a country where the media insisted negative gearing didn’t increase house prices but now house prices are falling the media are insisting it’s because the Labor government stopped … negative gearing?

This week, my amendment to ban billionaire-funded super PACs received unanimous support from my Democratic colleagues.

The momentum is growing. It’s time to repeal Citizens United, ban super PACs and move to the public funding of elections NOW.

Apocalyptic bird nest.

A Russian glide bomb knocks down a tree in Donbas. From the shattered branches rolls out a tiny bird’s nest.

Thread: Each week I run a simulation of Australia’s main electricity grid using rescaled generation data to show that it can get very close to 100% renewable electricity with 24GW/120GWh of storage (5 hrs at av demand)
Results:
Last week: 92.1% RE
Last 249 weeks: 98.6% RE (1/5)

@sadvocateno No blackouts in my simulation.
My simulation has over 10 GW of 'Other', likely to be gas/diesel/Snowy2 in the short to medium term.
They didn't get above 3.5 GW this past week, so there was plenty of reserve capacity.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

If you give a politician $5 to influence a vote, it’s bribery.

If billionaires spend $50 million to influence an election, it’s legal.

That is what a corrupt campaign finance system looks like.

We need to keep up the pressure because pressure works.

It's time for a 25% gas export tax.

[Mark Ogge @MarkOgge]

Wow, it only cost the foreign owned gas lobby $11.2 million in ads to stop Albanese Government introducing a tax that would have raised $17 BILLION every year ongoing for Australians.

Thats a 1,500% ROI… minimum!

At least we know calls the shots.

I made a chart to show how severely they cherry-picked this data.

Gaza looks like the apocalypse and you’re still using “targeting Hamas” to justify it.

[OSINTtechnical @Osinttechnical]

After a marked UN humanitarian convoy was hit by FPV drones in the Ukrainian city of Kherson yesterday, local Russian forces in the area proudly admitted to carrying out the attack, and posted footage of the strikes.

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

The media spent 2.5 years telling you this is “targeting Hamas.”
