"Just how much more horrendous than the deliberate creation of famine for 1.5 million people and the killing of 32,000 civilians do acts of barbarity need to be to get a response from our government which is anywhere near proportionate to the crimes being committed?" https://johnmenadue.com/gaza-australias-disgraceful-diversion-of-responsibility-over-war-crimes/

Gaza is one atrocity amongst so many.

Does anyone care about 8 million refugees starving in Sudan alone as a deliberate weapon against civilians?

“the authorities revoked permits for cross-border truck convoys, WFP reported, forcing teams to halt operations from Chad to Darfur.”

Record high tide in Maine washes away 3 historic fishing shacks
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/maine-ap-history-national-weather-service-facebook-b2478494.html?utm_source=press.coop A record high tide in Maine washed away three historic fishing shacks that had stood since the 1800s and formed the backdrop of countless photographs

This is just the start of global sea level rise, you ain't seen nothing yet...

@kim_harding people in Maine could do what the people in Bude, Cornwall are doing. Organise adaptation themselves. Our government is not going to help us.

I'm tired of the world being held hostage by a bunch of selfish, money grubbing dickheads.

‘SILENT COUP’: HOW CAPITALISM DEFEATED DECOLONIZATION

"The crumbling of European empires after WWII didn’t usher in a new era of democracy—instead, we now live in a regime of international corporate rule"

@DrALJONES absolutely this 👇

“many industrialized countries (have) undergone a corporate coup d’etat in slow motion, cementing into place a system of control the political philosopher, Sheldon Wolin calls “inverted totalitarianism.” Inverted totalitarianism retains the institution, symbols, iconography, and language of the old capitalist democracy but internally, corporations have seized all the levers of power to accrue ever-greater profits & political control.”

One thing most people do not understand about environmentalism is that it was never about saving the planet. The planet doesn't need us. Hell it will even thrive without us. Environmentalism is to save ourselves from extinction. Don't think that the planet owes us shit.

Before you reply, reread my post again. Don't pull me a strawman by replying with something that I didnt even mention in this post.

@theconversationau Not a word about our climate and ecological crisis. There is nothing more urgent. No other threat is greater. Was a question even asked about Labor’s continued funding of fossil fuel industries? Will the threat be discussed at the conference?

“Climate criminal Woodside gets value for money from its political donations
Via millions of donated dollars, Woodside ensures the political class stands ready to defend it when its huge role in global heating is targeted.”

Yep. Politicians vilifying the people trying to change this. @australianpolitics

@largess @australianpolitics my local MP definitely is on board with the need to do more but climate group within labour is a minority. Bill Shorten and Madeleine King are problematic.

A Russian channel reports that near Robotyne, Russian troops wanted to carry out an operation 'behind enemy lines'. Russian soldiers changed into Ukrainian uniform but were spotted by a Russian UAV who probably knew nothing about this. He mistook the Russian group for Ukrainian soldiers who were directly fired with artillery. Result, 32 deaths. After this, the Ukrainian troops also unraveled the artillery position of the Russians, which then came under fire. Result, 19 deaths.

@noelreports I feel sorry for all canon fodder. Old men declare war, young people pay with their lives.
