It really shouldn't be controversial that our elected representatives speak up for the people who voted them in—not the vested interests chasing profits at the expense of our health, safety, and environment.

[David Ritter @David_Ritter]

Fossil fuels like the gas that Woodside wants to dig up and burn for decades are robbing young people of a safe, secure future.

Always great to see our elected representatives speaking up for young Australians and future generations. @Davekellymp

Will Albo protect Scott Reef or cave to Woodside? A decision looms that could define his legacy — and Australia's climate future.

🚨 BREAKING: Greenpeace activists have crashed the Coalition’s Federal Election campaign launch this morning at the Liverpool Catholic Club in Western Sydney dressed in hazmat suits and gas masks.

Their message? Don’t risk Dutton’s nuclear disaster. ☢️❌

[💧simon holmes à court 🦋 @simonahac]

seriously hilarious that the libs complain that a woman podcasts her political opinions while they have an entire national media network working 24/7 for them.

[Amy Remeikis @AmyRemeikis]

Not that it should need to be said at this point, but this is a war crime.

#BREAKING The Albanese Government promised to end extinctions and protect Australia’s #wildlife through national law reform.

Instead, in the coming days they could rush through legislation that would sign an #extinction warrant for the endangered Maugean skate.

From a newspaper that has spent the past year suggesting pro-Palestine protests are antisemitic? Odd.

[Mark Ogge @MarkOgge]

Did you know, the average Australian paid about twice as much income tax last year as Santos was fined for an oil spill?

Modelling of nuclear energy includes no discussion of nuclear waste or decommissioning costs, timeframe, etc.

Slow. Clap.

This is a BS distraction and everyone knows it.

[kev @MarxAfterDark]

a stark reminder of how people view the west vs the global south is the kind of outpouring of grief this building saw from an accidental fire vs the silence at the bombardment of some of the oldest standing buildings in history (not to mention the people) in palestine

[Greenpeace International @Greenpeace]

All our loved ones live here. Let's protect it.

[Amy Remeikis @AmyRemeikis]

Trying to find some joy because I'm responsible for protecting others, but I will never get over seeing what I have seen on my screen this year. Watching a genocide in real time colours everything I do and see

[David Ritter @David_Ritter]

Love, power and solidarity to the people and countries that suffer the very worst impacts of climate change—the outcome of #COP29 in Baku is disappointing and heart-wrenching for the Pacific. But we must fight on, together.

[Global Energy Embargo for Palestine @palenembargo]

Shady Khalil from Oil Change International speaks out at COP29 highlighting the role of fossil fuels in the genocide in Palestine, and the need for an energy embargo to bring it to an end. #COP29Azerbaijan

I hope these words from @RebeccaSolnit provide comfort to those in the USA and elsewhere who need it. Sending love to all.

“They want you to feel powerless and to surrender and to let them trample everything and you are not going to let them. You are not giving up, and neither am I. The fact that we cannot save everything does not mean we cannot save anything and everything we can save is worth saving. You may need to grieve or scream or take time off, but you have a role no matter what, and right now good friends and good principles are worth gathering in. Remember what you love. Remember what loves you. Remember in this tide of hate what love is. The pain you feel is because of what you love. The Wobblies used to say don't mourn, organize, but you can do both at once and you don't have to organize right away in this moment of furious mourning.

You can be heartbroken or furious or both at once; you can scream in your car or on a cliff; you can also get up tomorrow and water the flowerpots and call someone who's upset and check your equipment for going onward. A lot of us are going to come under direct attack, and a lot of us are going to resist by building solidarity and sanctuary. Gather up your resources, the metaphysical ones that are heart and soul and care, as well as the practical ones.

People kept the faith in the dictatorships of South America in the 1970s and 1980s, in the East Bloc countries and the USSR, women are protesting right now in Iran and people there are writing poetry. There is no alternative to persevering, and that does not require you to feel good. You can keep walking whether it's sunny or raining. Take care of yourself and remember that taking care of something else is an important part of taking care of yourself, because you are interwoven with the ten trillion things in this single garment of destiny that has been stained and torn, but is still being woven and mended and washed.”

Thinking of people in Valencia, still picking up the pieces after Spain’s worst flooding in a century. The devastation is yet more evidence that we have entered the era of climate consequences—and there are vital things to be clear about: 🧵

Do people realize we are watching journalists in Lebanon report while wearing press vests that display their blood type because they are that certain they will be intentionally targeted by the Zionist regime?
