"Advance" major spreader of fossil fuels lies before federal election: ARC study - The Klaxon The group that ran the “No” campaign against the Indigenous Voice was one of the biggest spreaders of fossil fuels propaganda ahead of the federal election, a major study has found.

Important piece by @theklaxon.bsky.social @anthonyklan.bsky.social. Advance ran the “No” campaign against the Voice, aggressively spreading disinformation. Why? One of biggest impediments to fossil fuels is Indigenous rights. #auspol #IndigenousRights #FossilFuels theklaxon.com.au/advance-spre...

Bluesky would be awesome if we could just turn the USA off for a bit. I would probably pay money for that feature.

Charlie Kirk died in the America he wanted I mourn the loss of human life. I feel compassion, empathy and grief at an inexcusable killing. But I find nothing to lionise in his legacy.

Given this is making some waves - here is the piece and you can judge for yourself.

(I'm fine, there are no issues - right wing ecosystem just doing what right wing ecosystem does).

Take care of you - it's rough out there! Ax

Imagine if there were some kind of sanction for our parliamentarians for racism. They could make a claim that one particular ethnic group were all rapists and criminals and should be kicked out, and we’d spend weeks listening to apologists saying that’s not *really* racist. #insiders

Protect Murujuga Rock Art: Sign the Petition One of Australia and the world’s most important artworks is being destroyed by acid gas pollution. The Murujuga rock art on the Burrup Peninsula in Western Australia is a cultural treasure – and more...

The Government has revealed conditions for Woodside's North West Shelf gas project approval: strict limits on nitrous oxide pollution.

Woodside says the conditions are "not technically feasible."

If the project isn't feasible without damaging Murujuga, it shouldn't be allowed to go ahead. #auspol

"Honestly, Albo, I didn't see a lot of discourse about legitimate concerns or policy options. What I saw was a lot of emboldened bigots and ignorant fucking racists, veins throbbing, eyes wild, thrilled to be part of a crowd that hated all the same people they did."

Aint it like White people to spend centuries invading and colonizing countries they had no business being in, and then have the gall to turn around and tell immigrants they're not welcome on the land they stole.

Correct, unfortunately the poorly educated are easy recruitment targets for the white supremacist movement.

The mental gymnastics these people have to pull to be able to say "I'm not racist, I just happen to agree with Nazis and white supremacists about how certain races of people should be treated" never ceases to amaze me.

The whiplash from how quickly Aussie media will label any pro-Palestine protest as ‘antisemitic’ but when actual Neo-Nazis are protesting on some white supremacist shit the media is like ‘woah woah woah. let’s not go throwing any labels around’
