Latent ecologist, running late for journalism, right on time for storytelling. Somehow I ended up in the Wild-West of Oz. #creativenonfiction #landscapewriting

What’s next? Living without covid.

Fear and division builds nothing except for the careers of those who profit from conflict.

[David Hogg 🟧 @davidhogg111]

Young people voted for Biden in record numbers here’s the result so far:

-Billions in student debt forgiveness
-First gun safety bill in 30 years
-Most Climate spending in US history
-Office of gun violence prevention
-Climate Corps
-More

More progress on all the above issues in three years than the past 30. This is not simply because Biden cares about young people it’s because our generation has real power. Biden knows he can’t win without the youth vote- especially young people of color. While he’s limited with a divided congress and a corrupt Supreme Court he’s managed to get more done than any president in decades with razor thin margins.

It can be hard to imagine but Biden was once a young person he was elected to the senate when he was 29. He has over 50 years of experience. When voting what I want most is someone who can deliver and Biden has. This because he’s done a remarkable job integrating progressives into leadership. When we match the passion of the progressive movement with his experience it’s a recipe for success. When he was first elected I was very doubtful of how much could really happen I am happy to be proven wrong. If he was doing a bad job, as someone who does not shy away from publicly criticizing the party or president would tell you. But honestly Biden and especially his incredible staff and made it work.

March for our lives and many others demanded action, protested and Biden has listened, we aren’t going away but i wanted to give credit where it is due.

It's not Albo's voice.
It's Indigenous voices for discussing government programs that affect Indigenous people.
#VoteYes #Yes23 #VoteYesAustralia

#VoteNo2023 #VoteNo is misleading people, because they have no viable arguments against the voice to parliament!

@alixnmorse @MFWitches @ABCaustralia Data was never able to show ABC had left bias in its reporting. It’s a perception based on fair and reasonable reporting, in comparison to the norm of attention grabbing gotcha moments, and now click bait, elsewhere. Viewers are leaving because it’s being shutdown by stealth.

If capitalism is so great, why does it need to be bailed out by socialism every 10 years?

@OfficialKamahl Was Bob Hawke referring to Anglo settlers having no privilege of origin over other migrants? Thats how this quote reads to me.

[Greg Jericho @GrogsGamut]

On a totally unrelated matter, if as a journalist you are unaware of any negatives Indigenous peoples have had from colonisation & you think someone needs to state them in an interview in order to refute what you now treat as valid points… maybe journalism isn’t your thing

@dodona777 @ABCaustralia This is now a national disaster. Imagine if all the homeless were in one place and how big the evacuation centre would need to be.

Uni changed my life. The benefit was private. It was also public. We all benefit from investment in knowledge. I agree with the Vice Chancellor: Uni and TAFE should be free.

Americans:
•Cancel student debt!
•Cancel medical debt!
•Make insulin free!

Most of Developed World:
•What is student debt?
•What is medical debt?
•Insulin is already free!

What GOP calls “socialism”—even conservative parties in most developed nations call a “human right.”

@wendy_harmer Absolutely nope, apart from the relatively few *#*# chunts, there are no winners after the long years of trash-fest. We really were onto a good thing for a couple of decades.

@KosSamaras The usual supects narrow view of aspiration based on investors also ignores the aspirations of a young generation or two, families in tents or cars, plus our female elders, simply wanting an affordable place to live.

@MrRexPatrick @KoparaFallsKid While I’m wondering what’s in it for Labor, I guess they’re also hedging their bets it will have minimum impact at next election.

Rethink HECS @AlboMP
Not with new formulas with many gaps. But with straightforward easing of yet another burden.

[Donna Marie Carman @southern_scribe]

@Valentenya11 @markhumphries Yes!

@sandmanute @KosSamaras Enduring lack of housing & impossible rents while insisting on true equity across all walks of life are not cliches.
