It is simply fucking unacceptable that @youth4climate.bsky.social (aka the AYCC) might be forced to close for good after 20 years, and I will not be letting this happen.
If I find out a single one of you hasn't given what you are able, I will lose my fucking mind.

Why not post here as well as the other site? Many people on here would enjoy your perspectives.

Why in God’s name does the ABC invite these 3rd rate hacks ?
Rinehart has far too much power and all her opinions are driven by self interest. We shouldn’t be listening to her.
My view is that the American South never fully took to liberal democracy. And I think we have to reckon with that to face the moment we’re now in. I wrote about it for @thebulwark.bsky.social

This past week Trump has surrendered to Putin, retreated on Musk, & retreated on tariffs. He is tanking the US economy, spooking global markets and losing in the courts. Trump is a weak man, not a strong man, writes political strategist @simonwdc.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/simonwdc...
"According retired Australian navy admiral Peter Briggs, the Aukus submarine plan is flawed, and the only chance Australia has to sustain its submarine fleet is to buy French vessels after all."

The ability to control mass party opinion this directly is unlike anything I’ve really seen in my time covering politics.
lol, from UK satirical magazine Private Eye
And of course Musk with Starlink

Push polling. ❌
The question
“How low will they go?”
Seems to be a moving target that spirals downward by the day. 🙄

"we can’t omit what News has done to inflict Trump on the world and what they are trying to do to inflict Dutton on Australia."
Meanwhile, we get lectures from ABC journalists about the evils of social media.
While ignoring the Murdoch elephant in their industry.

Recalling when during an emergency event media would first interview a state emergency service expert. Now it’s the premier of the state, so it becomes another ‘political’ story. Why is that?
This👇🏼The modern Liberal Party. Doing anything to win, except policy. So far it’s been
1️⃣ a politically motivated referral to the NACC
2️⃣ misleading sh*t sheets in letterboxes
3️⃣ bullsh*t billboards
4️⃣ verbal abuse and filming of me and my supporters
5️⃣ disgraceful, unethical push polling in Goldstein
But entirely unsurprising…
WOW, 7.30 Report! Mused this morning why not be upfront, deliver a budget then go to an election where Dutton has no choice but to add and subtract. The Oz way of leading the world again, let’s do it!
Stuff we've known for a decade now ... #Globalwarming causes storms to increase in intensity and "stall"...
Earth's circulatory winds slowing so that catastropic systems worsen, move more slowly and last longer.
Thoughts with everyone battening the hatches!
ABC Mgmt seems hell-bent on making once essential viewing ABC programs utterly unwatchable. Parnell Palme McGuinness AND Joe Hildebrand?! Neither one has any substance, depth, expertise or credibility. This is just insulting to viewers. 😠 #QandA #auspol #AusVotes25
I'm starting to wonder if the Trump regime might actually be a drag on the LNP vote.
