NZ has 'healthy stock levels' of fuel - MBIE Iran has said the Strait of Hormuz, through which about 20 million barrels of the world's traded oil moves each day, is closed.

We have just 3 weeks supply of Diesel before our country grinds to a halt

Know what we dont have a limited supply of? Wind and Solar.

The timing of the US and Israeli attack on Iran bears symbolic meaning in Judaism, as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu referenced the upcoming holiday of Purim in his first statement.

How in the ever-living fuck do we live in a world where merely posting our outrage that the US/Israeli coalition just murdered hundreds of Iranian schoolgirls in cold blood somehow makes us simps and apologists for a despotic Iranian regime?

“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed...This is not a way of life...it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.”

Trump assumed a war would be helpful. It would justify emergency powers. It would deflect from his failures. It would make him seem larger.

But it is making him smaller, more hostage to what’s occurring than leader, more Netanyahu’s patsy than partner, another president sucked into a forever war.

So remarkably frustrated by the United States government this week. That it is in the hands of the worst, most incompetent, most compromised people. Ideologues and grifters. That our society enables it all. That they give a blank check to war mongers and the 1% and literally starve the country.

When Netanyahu wants you to vote for a specific candidate- you vote for the other

So, ya should've voted for Harris

And if ya didn't

Fuck you.

EV sales bounce back to nearly 12 pct of Australia market, led by Tesla, BYD and Zeekr EV sales rebound in February and are nearly double their levels of a year ago in the first two months of 2026, driven by more affordable models and manufacturer incentives.

Once again, the "great #EV sales collapse" that happens every 1/4 in Australia, reported every time, again, didn't happen.
EVs now make 12% of car sales in Australia.
Will that change rapidly in the current chaotic environment?

U.S. sub sinks Iranian warship off Sri Lanka, killing 87 and expanding war zone A U.S. submarine sank an Iranian warship off the southern coast of Sri Lanka, killing dozens of sailors and dramatically widening Washington's pursuit of the Iranian navy.

A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflict—and 9000
miles from North America—makes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

❗️The US and Israel are seeking to foment an armed Kurdish uprising inside Iran, with a ground operation expected within days, ITV News reported. Weapons have been smuggled into western Iran to arm thousands of Kurdish volunteers since 2025. The report is unconfirmed. #Iran

As I understand it, it is the policy of the United States that the President can unilaterally issue orders to kill the leader of any country any time for any reason? Or kidnap them and bring them to the U.S. for trial for lesser crimes than the U.S. President had committed.

Am I missing something?

Sending this around again in case anyone missed it. I have a feeling this will become a big piece of this puzzle if Thiels obsession with Armageddon plays a part.

Nah. The real debate in America is between people who know Trump is evil and say so, and the people (like Laura!) who know Trump is corrupt and evil and lie about it for personal profit.

Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks.

They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors.

Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption.

Watch how they vote this week.
