Cost to the Australian Taxpayer 👇 The initial cost of implementing the Force Posture Agreement according to the Defence Minister Marise Payne is $2-3 billion with the costs shared between the US and Australia. #LNPNeverAgain #CancelAUKUS #auspol

The world’s most bountiful waters are becoming more acidic, threatening marine life and the communities that depend on them.

A month ago agents falsely identified themselves and falsely claimed they had permission from the childrens' guardians to question and remove the children. In both cases the principals sent them packing. youtu.be/iVEVK11I28A?...

MADDOW: “What is this country going to allow him to do? This is an attempted authoritarian overthrow of the 🇺🇸 Constitution and Government… imposition of a dictatorial regime. The strength of the movement against him is what will determine our fate as a country.”

Dock workers all across Europe are refusing to load ships sending arms to Israel. It is time for the UK to join them.

The Chief Minister should know better than to say the politicisation of this issue helps no one. How can the murder of Indigenous people by police not be political?

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

Scott Morrison’s award is not just a political misjudgment – it is an affront to decency Robodebt - people died, legal advice was ignored. No apology, no remorse from Morrison just a medal. This isn’t recognition of skill, effort or accountability. It’s a monument to impunity. #auspol #Robodebt

Shared interests and values? Not so much! It's time for a comprehensive inquiry into AUKUS.

GOP are domestic terrorists. Never forget

Hypocrisy. Leave it to Leavitt.

"Peace doesn’t mean quiet. It means truth. And that truth has just been insulted — in full public view — with a medal. "Let’s not pretend otherwise." johnmenadue.com/post/2025/06...

I've been on social media for about 13yrs now. One of the influences that drew me online was @grogsgamut.bsky.social's book. This epoch is truly the rise of the fifth estate as he predicted. There's a sequel here when Greg is ready. If you haven't already, have a read. #auspol

Will they be goose-stepping in that parade?

Politicians and big business alike have realised that, no matter what they do, they will not face accountability. So they back genocide and pump up prices and scapegoat minorities, because they know they can without consequence.

Labor conspires with fossil fuel corporations in opening new gas projects - literally are killing citizens and consumers by accelerating dangerous emissions Activist climate litigation around the world incl in New Zealand seeks to bring governments to account www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

A 500MW Wind Energy Plant Launches in Egypt www.ecowatch.com/wind-energy-...

Offshore natural gas is Newfoundland and Labrador’s latest pitch for development that it claims will be “part of the solution to the global path toward-net zero emissions” despite ample evidence that fossil fuels like oil and gas must be phased out to reach climate targets.

🌻 Greta Thunberg being released... the internetWorld is gunna explode on this one c'mon lets make this interview statement Famous!!

"The new government’s approval of the long-term expansion of gas on the North-West Shelf, its neglect of the Uluru statement from the heart and the repercussions of our defence relationship with an unhinged US are causing legitimate angst." And that angst will be ignored by Albo.

Can I keep posting this until this ridiculous, dangerous old man has gone or until we all turn into zombies waiting to see what his next destructive move awaits the world?

An LAPD helicopter claimed to have ID'ed protesters from above and threatened to "come to your house." The threat was greeted with extreme concern by civil liberties and digital privacy groups. It suggests the LAPD could be using facial recognition to identify and retaliate against protesters.

Golding captures it #TrumpWarmonger #USFascism

"Australia is the 3rd biggest fossil fuel exporter in the world. "Norway, which is also a big fossil fuel exporter, they tax their fossil fuel industry and give their kids free university education. "In Aus, we subsidise the fossil fuel industry." @richarddenniss.bsky.social #auspol

In #America most of them stay quiet and pretend it isn't happening. Some will look for the teacher (anyone in authority), who isn't around and is in teacher's lounge taking a break. This is #America

DICTATOR.

Israel mistreated the kidnapped Madleen crew with violent threats and sleep deprivation. Typical of these Israeli criminals. substack.com/@storysstori...

David Shoebridge tears into the Coalition for “deliberately mischaracterising the Magnitsky sanctions regime” in order to “defend these two extremist members of the Netanyahu cabinet”🔥💯 #AfternoonBriefing #Abc

The “real reason” Trump ordered the National Guard and the Marines to attack peaceful protestors-after refusing to use them on violent and armed insurrectionists trying to overturn a democratic election-has NOTHING to do with immigrants and EVERYTHING to do with power Enough Murdoch gaslighting

We feed you. They hunt us.

Australia has invoked The Magnitsky Act on two Israeli Government ministers. It's something. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnits...

Thousands of people marching through Lower Manhattan now demanding ICE get out of New York City.

World leaders should be forced to read Blue Sky for at least 2hrs per day.

Someone said “never press the translate button for a post in Hebrew”

Newsom: "Democracy is under assault before our eyes. This moment we have feared has arrived. He's taking a wrecking ball to our Founding Father's historic project."

Word of the day Defy

Newsom: This Saturday, he's ordering our American heroes, the United States military, and forcing them to put on a vulgar display to celebrate his birthday, just as other failed dictators have done in the past

This is big. And it doesn't bode well for climate action in California. laist.com/news/climate...

History teaches us something critical that all the propaganda desperately doesn't want us to understand. Small acts of decency, courage and kindness have unknowable but sometimes massive ripple effects. So much of fighting fascism is literally just not being a cunt.
