1/ Palantir, a huge private surveillance corporation, is taking on an increased role w/ Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE)—like finding the physical location of people who are marked for deportation. We know this from a leak of Palantir Slack chats & other internal messages.

The UN Secretary-General António Guterres calls renewables the “economic opportunity of the century” & our “pathway out of climate hell.” Meanwhile, Australia approved the massively polluting Barossa Gas project. Our research shows 71% of Aussies back 100% renewables, as is reality in the ACT.

Australia approves massive new gas export project - The Australia Institute

In the middle of an election campaign with a major focus on gas exports, Australia has just approved another massive new gas export project.

open.substack.com/pub/newpolit... At the centre of this campaign malaise is Dutton himself – a leader whose performance has been characterised by mistakes and a lack of political groundwork, not just during this campaign, but for this entire parliamentary term. In my opinion, well before. #Auspol

A masterclass in political failure

Dutton’s Liberal–National Party is out of time, out of touch, out of ideas, and out of momentum. And it’s not a winning formula.

Yall wanna hear something extremely embarrassing? Before Trump’s election, a bunch of academics who lumbered rightward after being criticized by the left (Pinker, Dawkins, Krauss) wrote essays for a book that is coming out in July about the threats to academia from the left. YALL, THE TITLE!!

Good outcome, but let's be clear: by this vote, as if the evidence weren't otherwise overwhelming, Thomas and Alito reveal beyond any doubt that they are Actual Fascists, enthusiastic to help build & consolidate a fascist regime in the United States

BREAKING: SCOTUS orders the government not to remove from the country, for the time being, any of the individuals slated for possible deportation to El Salvador. The vote is apparently 7-2, with Justices Thomas and Alito in dissent

It's finally out! Drink coffee, drink soda, take whatever stimulate you prefer. This is extremely long, even by my verbose standards. But its the absolute minimum word count I thought I could tell the "foreign exchange liquidity crisis" aspect of this with. www.crisesnotes.com/is-the-trump...

This election campaign is pretty depressing in terms of the vision being presented for our country. But Dutton rolling out his 20-year-old son to ppl to pretend that he, Dutton the Dad, ‘gets’ how hard it is for parents watching their kids struggle - WHEN HE’S A MULTIMILLIONAIRE is so gross

Greg Jericho@grogsgamut.bsky.social · 2y ago

I've been fact checking Dutton's claim that grocery bills have gone up 30% (nope more like 12%) And Ted O'Briend's number that power bills have gone up $1,300 (nope more like $500-$600). Check out the live blog for all the reality rather than the crap live.australiainstitute.org.au/2025/04/aust...

Major alert: Montana may be about to pass a major anti-trans bill that charges parents with felony endangerment of a child if their child is on trans youth care. It would apply to parents just passing through the state, visiting. Would be the first law of its kind to pass anywhere. Vote is TODAY.

Montana SB164 | 2025 | Regular Session

Bill Text (2025-04-08) Revise offense of endangering the welfare of children [(H) Scheduled for 2nd Reading]
