I will repeat this as long as I have to, when the Supreme Court said in 1937 that the Social Security Act was “unconstitutional”, FDR didn’t ask people to vote harder in the next election, he told the Court he’d add more justices until they backed off, which they did.

“CO2 removal soon written into Finnish law: The country’s Parliament approved a new Climate Change Act that would commit the country to carbon neutrality by 2035, and carbon negativity by 2040” Carbon negativity legally binding!! 60% reduction by 2030 and 80% by 2040, cf 1990

A reminder that the secret trial of Bernard Collaery, which most of the Press Gallery have pretended isn't happening, has been continuing in secret this week, with the Morrison government trying to jail a hero using "evidence" he's not allowed to see.

The government of the United States is not a bargaining chip. A president cannot close the government when he doesn’t get his way, and then offer to open it as a concession when he does. That would not be a democracy; it would be a dictatorship.

Trump lost the House, so he shut down the government indefinitely. Let's stop complicating the story.
