This is too real

WATCH: "They are underwater across the board, and they know it. And that is causing them to double down in public. But it is backfiring. That is why—whether it's a shutdown, whether it's all of this—they want us to blink first. And we have too much to save," says AOC.

What happened to last week’s episode? Not on my pod feed. I don’t wanna miss out!

We know what the Albanese Government must do, the UN have made it crystal clear, stop the two-way arms trade with Israel, and sanction the Israeli Government.

The National Climate Risk Assessment makes it clear - Australia must commit to the strongest possible 2035 climate target to slash our climate pollution.

We know it, and now our political leaders do too.

Yes. We can.
