"We need a calm and focused panic... We are the ones we have been waiting for" The article I wrote now comes with an accessible audio recording. I like to listen to things while I get sh*t done. greenagenda.org.au/2023/11/from-d…

Apparently if you criticise @realDonaldTrump on Twitter, you will get banned. Which makes President Donald Trump a big baby along with being one of the most evil life forms of our time.

❗️Auschwitz survivor Marian Turski during the camp liberation anniversary: “Let us not be afraid to discuss the issues troubling the so-called Last Generation. These young people may indeed disrupt our social order and legal system, but a judge, when delivering a verdict, said these remarkable words: ‘Perhaps today I am convicting tomorrow’s heroes.’”

After decades of trickle-down economics that primarily benefitted those at the very top, Kamala and I wrote a new playbook that’s growing the economy from the middle-out and bottom-up and would benefit everyone. The new playbook is working.

‘I was arrested for civil disobedience … I turned 82 in jail!’ — Actor and activist Jane Fonda sounding the alarm about the need for ‘bold action’ on the climate crisis. There's no time to wait. This planet is all we've got. Defend it. #ActOnClimate #ClimateEmergency #climate

My top five priorities for 2025 1. Ending whaling in Iceland. 2. Ending the barbaric slaughter of pilot whales and dolphins in the Danish Faroe Islands. 3. Being prepared to intercept the Japanese whaling fleet in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary 4. Ending the killing of whales in Norway. 5. Confronting Interpol to end the weaponization of the Interpol Agency for political purposes. The commercial slaughter of whales is a crime under international law and the killing of pilot whales and dolphins in the Faroes is a violation of the European Berne Convention.

Violet Coco has now been arrested 39 times as she raises #ClimateEmergency awareness "Thirty-three million people in Pakistan completely lost their homes in unprecedented floods," said @VioletCoCo5, "yet soup on the perspex covering of a painting gets way more conversations on climate." However, in a sign the tide is turning, over 200 people blocked Newcastle Coal Port, despite the threat of 2 years imprisonment @XRebellionAus 👇 sydneycriminallawyers.com.au/blog/thirty-ni… via @sydcrimlawyers

While a cancelled Christmas display is causing outrage, Israel's war on children in Gaza continues to be ignored by Australian leaders. Following the cancellation of a shopping centre Christmas display in Melbourne, the Premier of Victoria Jacinta Allan @JacintaAllanMP stated that a 'beautiful event for children' has been 'politicised'. Well, Premier, for over a year, Palestinian children and their families have endured Israel’s relentless and ongoing genocide – which has been called a ‘war on children’ – robbing them of any of the joy or peace that Australians claim to care so much about. Australia is complicit – this country arms Israel. And what of the children of Gaza? - 70% of Palestinians killed by Israel are women and children, the youngest just one day old. - Israel’s genocide in Gaza has created the largest cohort of child amputees in history. - Israel has destroyed the foundations of life in Gaza to ensure that no child has been able to attend school in 404 days. – Israel has just passed laws allowing Palestinian children under the age of 14 to be arrested and imprisoned – including on life sentences – in closed prison facilities. It’s our duty to protest until Australia uses all political and economic tools to end this genocide.

People you need to know & scream! Under NSW Labor the number of First Nations people in prison is now the highest ever on record. The Bureau of Crime Statistics & Research has confirmed an 8.2% increase since Sept ‘23. Premier @ChrisMinnsMP your law & order agenda is dangerous!

@PaulrGregoire They only uphold the privilege of war mongers to make money. They do not know about justice. Justice is protecting children from bombs dropping on them.

McBride’s Appeal Is in Jeopardy, as the Respected Lawyer Needs Finances to Fund It “It’s a David and Goliath battle because he is up against the government," said lawyer Eddie Lloyd @worldzonfire “It’s a public interest case, so we are really relying upon the general public to fund this appeal.” @MurdochCadell 👇 sydneycriminallawyers.com.au/blog/mcbrides-… via @sydcrimlawyers
