Labor declared that climate summits are not the time to talk about climate change, so we answered the question: when is it an appropriate time to talk about climate action? preview.mailerlite.io/preview/4483...

Why do you appreciate unions? I’ll start: Weekends off Paid vacations Work breaks Sick leave Paid holidays No child labor Safer working conditions Health care and retirement benefits

If we really cared about babies (or anyone, for that matter) then we would protect them from COVID19 (as well as other diseases, of course). #COVID19

"Babies with COVID-19 develop more serious disease than those with RSV, US data reveal." • Hospitalised children under 2 with COVID-19 had higher severe illness risk than RSV • Ventilators: 39% of COVID ICU babies vs 16% with RSV • Deaths: 2.9% COVID vs 0.4% RSV among hospitalised infants

Very important proposal for bus signal priority in Vancouver by Mayoral hopeful @wazaroff.bsky.social running for @onecityvan.bsky.social. Transportation equity means prioritizing transit that’s moving a LOT more people in a lot less space. That’s ironically better for EVERYONE, including drivers.

William Azaroff, who is seeking OneCity's nomination to run for Vancouver mayor, is proposing city-wide coordinated traffic signals that could cost up to $200 million. 🚦 It'd also enable extensive signal priority for #TransLink buses. #vanre #vanpoli dailyhive.com/vancouver/va...

You cannot build social cohesion by inviting one of the unrepentant proponents of genocide

Just your regular reminder that John Howard never pushed back against Pauline Hanson and One Nation policies. He embraced them, which is how he outflanked them, while also setting the stage for what the Liberals are today. The myth that he 'pushed back' truly needs to die.

On 26 January, a man threw a home-made bomb into a crowd of First Nations people & allies. Australia has new anti-hate laws. Will they be used to truly protect, or as an excuse to censor marginalised groups? I just signed the open letter to @tonyburkemp.bsky.social - will you join me? bit.ly/46gnJnp

Add Your name: First Nations communities deserve safety and justice

The Invasion Day rally in Boorloo / Perth was subject to a hateful and racist attack. Right now, we need our allies to speak up with us: for safety, freedom and justice. Sign the open letter to Home A...

So much for the 'sustainability' and 'care' claims that supporters of native forest logging use. #ClimateChange #forests

“Past logging has demonstrably increased the vulnerability of forests to climate risks and increased the severity of fires,” writes Bob Debus, NSW's longest serving Environment Minister, and Chair of @wildernessaus.bsky.social. Read Bob Debus’s full piece on The Point: https://theaus.in/3NC2DJS

The demolition of Roe v Wade, legislation that assured a woman's right to make her own decisions about her own body, was allegedly America's first step into neo-fascism. Until those rights are restored, America will continue its descent. 2/

After Bondi, calls for a Royal Commission appeared overnight, delivered by rotating groups using identical language. That is astroturfing, a PR tactic that simulates grassroots demand to manufacture urgency, crowd out scrutiny, and lock in policy before evidence is tested. More on YT

It’s important for the international community to boycott America That includes the World Cup and Olympics Refuse to support fascism Refuse to support a country that’s targeting all marginalized people, killing & detaining its citizens and threatening its allies It’s not safe. It’s not worth it.

If there is a Royal Commission into Bondi and anti-semitism, you are all allowed to make submissions you know.

Anthony Albanese could surrender leadership of the Labor Party to Josh Frydenberg and The Australian would still run stories condemning him for not doing enough. It's a fight, Mr Albanese, not a good-faith negotiation. Get out of the mainstream media bubble and fight back.

I stand with Randa and everyone standing against hate, genocide, oppression and terror. In all its forms.

The Bondi shooting was a tragedy and needs a sympathetic response to the people affected. However, a range of actors are milking it for their own political gain - at the expense of the broader Jewish and non-Jewish community. 1/ #Bondi #RoyalCommission #auspol

The best illustration of astroturfing I’ve seen. Bravo. 🙌

Correct, the criminal trial needs to be concluded before an RC so the criminal trial isn't prejudiced. We know from experience, high profile criminal trials take years. The recommendations groom an RC would be years away.

Cathy. Simply perfect. I hope that @albomp.bsky.social sees this.

You have to give credit to the pro-Israel lobby. They’ve managed to push murder of non-Jewish civilians by Israeli soldiers & settlers off the front pages of our legacy media. If we must have a RC let’s cover the causes and correctives needed for all the “anti-isms” & phobias poisoning our society.

Astrosurfing Where you get wave after wave of groups to demand something on your behalf

Send some love to Cathy Wilcox. Screw the Zionist bullies and their opportunistic supporters. #IStandwithCathyWilcox

More record-breaking heat, floods and storms. The media holding the line- to not say ‘climate change’.

This is devastating to read. What a failure of public health. And yet many (most) don't want to hear that COVID is airborne and that they might have to change how they live. And so, they keep getting infected over and over again. We need clean air, free testing, + anti virals for all.

This is wild. A 22-year-old having COVID 9 times isn’t “normal” or acceptable. She washes her hands religiously, but COVID is airborne — Public health failed her. She had been healthy and happy for most of her life, but repeated infections have clearly taken a toll on her health and wellbeing.
