This discussion took place in 🇦🇺 SA parliament in 1980. Thatcher took climate change as a given. The fossil fuel sector then chose to play games to protect profits. We knew. We could have adjusted with minimal disruption. #Auspol

*2026 El Niño Ahead by a Mile* It’s remarkable for us scientists to witness El Niño’s evolution. If you had asked us if something like this was possible a year ago, it would have been a definitive no. But here we are… already more than 1C (& 3 months) ahead of the next strongest episode in 1997… 1/
Just so everyone’s clear. I’m keen to make things easier for people being widowed and also for the government to phase out the grandfathered provisions. #auspol
Lucy Hamilton@lucyham.bsky.social · 19h ago🧵Thanks to @jimchalmers.bsky.social for not making being widowed harder. My husband died out of the blue not that long after Covid, and I had chosen to return to study instead of work after that interruption. Being stripped of a credit card (and no right to my own) felt humiliating. All bills to be

Note this puts Pauline Hanson squarely in pro Israel Islamophobia Network territory. Rebel Media’s Ezra Levant trained “Tommy Robinson” from all purpose bigot to pro-Israel bigot pre pre 2009. Linked American pro Israel actors founded & funded his English Defence League from there. #Auspol

With J6ers getting jobs in the justice department, and presidential memorandum NSPM-7 targeting the “left-wing” and “anti-fascists” as terrorists, it's never been more important to support those tracking the far right.
The Free Speech Union of Australia is apparently weighing in at the High Court on the side of self-declared Neo Nazis to have a political party. #Auspol
Lucy Hamilton@lucyham.bsky.social · 5d agoThe Free Speech Unions are nasty institutions that exist in #NZpol #auspol #UKpolitics #Cdnpoli #SouthAfrica They function to protect hate speech and mis/disinformation while masquerading as the saviours of the little [bigot].

Lucy Hamilton@lucyham.bsky.social · 4w agoListen to the first series of the outstanding Drilled podcast. It gives a brief but proof-filled survey of exactly how fossil fuel’s spin operations built that. It’s not a long listen in total but every second is worth its weight. drilled.media/podcasts/dri...
It’s hard to overestimate how much of US neoliberal sh!tf?ckery came out of Southern US upper class trying to recreate their slave/Segregation feudalism for the rest of the US.
Lucy Hamilton@lucyham.bsky.social · 3d agoMelinda Cooper’s excellent article about how BLM murder, Ferguson, was born out of this tax revolt by the rich, built on the new White low-end mortgage boom’s racism = well worth the time. openresearch-repository.anu.edu.au/server/api/c...
🧵 below this repost. It is incumbent upon 🇦🇺 to clear our supply chain of slave labour. But, Trump’s cheek in pinging us for that re tariffs is 🤯 #Auspol
Lucy Hamilton@lucyham.bsky.social · 3d agoSlavery remains legal in 🇺🇸 for the imprisoned c/o 13th Am. Some states don’t pay. Some pay pittance & charge prisoners for board. 🇺🇸 imprisons non-white for decades. (“White trash” too?) Takes their vote. Corporations are thrilled. US was always “3rd World” with excellent PR. Capitalism is ghoulish.

Chad Loder@chadloder.dev · 4d agoThe diarrhea lettuce company, Taylor Farms, uses slave labor contracted from the Arizona Dept. of Corrections. The backbreaking labor is often performed by imprisoned Mexican nationals who would be otherwise ineligble to work in the US. They are paid $1.50 an hour.

It's ridiculous that Glasman is presented as this great left-wing intellectual by the press when he is a fanatical Trumpist and acting for the far-right, in the same organisations as creeps like Mike Johnson and Jordan Peterson.
Another ultra reactionary Catholic fragment excommunicated. Bishop consecrated in “illicit ceremony by the Sons of the Most Holy Redeemer, a renegade sect at Golgotha Monastery” on Scottish Island. Ben Harnwell quoted here was brought to 🇦🇺 Advance conference in Feb.

#Auspol Atlas Network partner ppl tend to scrub their (private) school history. James (Andrew’s son) Bolt scrubbed Scotch College pre career at the IPA. John Roskam = Xavier College. Will Kingston (UK Atlas) boasts of Sydney’s Shore on his. It’s class war. lucyham29.substack.com/p/postscript...
This is happening in Canada as well. Conservative premiers and a compliant Mark Carney are eroding our civil liberties. Meta - a world leader in surveillance and privacy issues has even said that the Liberal government is going too far with bill C-22. If Meta is saying you’re spying too much…
Lucy Hamilton@lucyham.bsky.social · 5d agoThe UK gov is almost able to make protest untenable now. You can only protest if you are invisible. UK has made political prisoners of Grannies and church folk holding signs. The UK’s slide to illiberalism is better dressed than the US version, but it’s the same trajectory.

For sure. A lot of oligarch efforts here go into think tanks and other influencing organisations. If you don't already, follow @lucyham.bsky.social who is doing some amazing research on how this works here, and globally.
In the midst of the USA total blockade of oil. There is essentially no electricity on the island :( The intersection of imperialism and ecological collapse, both due to capitalism, is killing poor people the world round.
HISTORIC HEAT IN CUBA Cuba is living the most extreme heat wave in history with records smashed every day only to be rebroken the following day. 38.8C Today at Camaguey not only broke its all time record but also HOTTEST JULY DAY EVER RECORDED IN CUBA
This is Australian scumbag Nick Adams who does MAGA “comedy” about “Alpha males” at Hooters. 🤢 He is on the Council for National Policy (Christian Nationalism &”free market”) with some *big* contacts from that network illustrated in this research. #Auspol
ProPublica@propublica.org · 5d agoMAGA influencer and Trump appointee Nick Adams’ FLAG nonprofit has raised much of its money through a sweepstakes operation that has promised donors a chance to win $1,000,000 — a prize FLAG’s records show no evidence of ever paying.
![The former ambassador to the US told the Diggers and Dealers Mining Forum in Western Australia's Goldfields that the success of the move against Venezuela's Maduro government had partially inspired President Donald Trump's move against Iran.
"[The world] was stunned. Trump, I know, was,
'Wow, look at what we can do, we didn't lose a soldier," Mr Hockey said.
"The military warned him the Strait of Hormuz was very vulnerable, but [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu convinced him the regime would fall.
"The Israelis have been very strong on the ground in Iran and they convinced Trump it would only go for a short period of time.
