Picture of solar panels and wind turbines in shining sun, with the following question:

Has anybody noticed, when there's a Middle East war, neither solar nor wind energy get any more expensive?
And solar and wind don't get stuck in the Straits of Hormuz!

Hey #ComradeMinns! Do you remember when we used to call each other β€œcomrade” instead of β€œma-a-ate”? If supporting pro-Palestine protest organisers attracts the β€œcommie” label, then there’s 100s of 1000s of β€œcommies” in #nswpol and, indeed, #auspol

This is a classic of the cynicism of Atlas Network partner operatives’ thinking.
They say that all spending must stop. Except for torrents for their industries, including weapons. πŸ™„

All good Jessica - wil and I found the most important part to agree on: we each do what we can 😎

The ONLY thing wrong with your sentiment, Cathy, is the use of a noun, #genocide, as a verb … #auspol πŸ˜‰

Everyone needs to know the extent of what the U.S did.

An unarmed Iranian ship invited to a joint Indian naval exercise paraded its sailors before the president alongside other participants, including the U.S.

At the last minute, the U.S. withdrew from the exercise and torpedoed the Iranian vessel

I agree, Kae - but it is American, after all πŸ™„

Kristi Noem replaced as head of US homeland security, Donald Trump announces Kristi Noem, a high-profile member of Donald Trump's cabinet, was criticised for her approach to the immigration crackdown.

One down, far too many to go, including the main β€œone” that needs to go.

"I've received proof of many Jewish organisations in multiple Australian cities holding events to glorify the visit to Australia of Israel's president who was found to have incited genocide by a UN commission.

"Anyone who thinks Australia doesn't have a serious problem is deluded"

Brief: Bombing Iran and the orchestrated denigration of Islam It's worth watching where the propaganda demonising Muslims lies.

None of these β€œthink tanks” are accredited or regulated, by anybody! Until they are, the @lucyham.bsky.social preferred label #JunkTank should be applied to all of these self-styled purveyors of lies, myths, and mis-information #auspol
