BHP liable for 2015 Brazil dam collapse, UK court rules - Michael West BHP can be held liable over the 2015 collapse of a dam in southeastern Brazil, London's High Court has ruled.

Interesting how msm has buried BHP story - horrific Brazil mine collapse - given scale of disaster, multi-bil claim & directors possibly on hook for negligence

Renewable energy is reshaping the global economy – new report The energy transition is often painted as a jobs killer, but the evidence says otherwise.

The energy transition is often painted as a jobs killer, but the evidence says otherwise.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

Meanwhile Australia opens massive new fossil fuel export projects with vastly more emissions than all the pacific states combined.

Australia is an out-of-contol petrostate, drowning its Pacific neighbours, and should not be allowed to host COP31.

Everyday Americans get nickel and dimed while the rich dodge taxes.

They struggle to get by while the wealth of the 1% skyrockets.

They see their voices drowned out while the well-connected avoid accountability.

There are two sets of rules in America: One for the rich. Another for everyone else.

I think people are missing the point with this Epstein thing.

The question is not did he have sex with underaged girls. He did.

The question is not did he have illegal financial transactions with Epstein. He did.

The question is not did he serve as an asset and agent of Putin. He did.

A tweet from Michael Freeman (@michaelpfreeman) reads: “But cancer research was deemed a waste of money.” It quotes FactPost (@factpostnews), which says: “Trump’s order to change the Department of Defense’s name to the ‘Department of War’ could cost an estimated $2B in taxpayer dollars.” Below are two images: one shows a man affixing a sign that reads “Pete Hegseth — Secretary of War,” and the other shows Trump smiling.

Everything is a very expensive exercise in vanity.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%

Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%

Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.

As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

"Something is deeply wrong with this system, when people who are wealthy are getting far wealthier...and people who don't have a lot are falling further and further behind."

Dark forces are preventing us fighting the climate crisis – by taking knowledge hostage | George Monbiot The fundamental problem is this: that most of the means of communication are owned or influenced by the very rich, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Climate breakdown is driven by a storm of lies. This lying is systemic, funded and coordinated, and operates across almost all media, old and new.
This week's column argues that we cannot fight the climate crisis without also fighting the epistemic crisis.

Yesterday, I pleaded not guilty to the charges that Trump’s DOJ has hit me with in federal court.

This administration is targeting me because they can see that I’ve spoken out against them and will continue to stand up to them.

America's most notorious child rapist, Jeffrey Epstein, said this man was the worst person he'd ever met. Let that sink in.

Racism. Human Rights Commission to investigate News Corp journos - Michael West The AHRC has accepted a series of complaints of discrimination and racial hatred against NewsCorp and many of its journalists.

Chevron plans to grow oil and gas production by 2% to 3% per year through 2030. It currently produces around 4 million barrels of oil equivalent per day. "There is need for significant investment to close the oil supply gap, equivalent to five Saudi Arabias" over the next decade, Wirth said.

When Big Oil companies claim to be partners in climate solutions, remember: they are lying.

As the climate crisis intensifies, Chevron is once again "increasing investments in oil and gas exploration," Reuters reports.

Just a reminder, the coward who refused to accept an election loss in 2020 and then committed crimes trying to overthrow that election will certainly cheat, abuse his powers, and break the law to try to win the 2026 & 2028 elections.

He’s a real threat to democracy. Believe it.

Ugh.

Great idea!!

He's undoubtedly planning the Mother of all Distractions but can't think of anything to top flying over a city in a crown dropping poo on American citizens.

Anyone else noticed how Nazi rallies get the go-ahead fairly easily from state governments, then the horrified public reaction is weaponised to pass anti-protest laws, which are then used to quash anti-genocide dissent and justify police assaults on small brown women? You picking up on this, too??

You realize his guilt when the most litigious guy on the planet isn’t making lawsuit threats.

epstein in dozens of pieces of written documentation: the presidential candidate my best friend loves coming over to my house for the young girls i rent

reporters: we are getting closer to busting this thing wide open

Stealing the breath of life When you suffocate or drown, every fibre of your being cries out for the breath of life, oxygen. It is the body’s ungovernable response to the extinguishing of your flame.

Unless we grasp the mistakes we are making with a clear mind and reverse them, we may steal the very breath of life from our grandchildren. #auspol #Earth #Oxygen #Carbon

Australia Institute research shows the gas industry pays ZERO royalties on more than half the gas exported from Australia.

"Other people in the rest of the world are making a fortune out of Australia's gas exports.... Australia is getting taken for a ride."
