The broader left needs to come to terms with the fact that if pointing out hypocrisy was enough to save the world by itself, we would have done it already a long time ago. (He says as a professional 'look at this hypocrisy' guy.)

Amazing how hard it is to write: “Police shoot at journalists.”

Who knew the next country the United States would invade based on a lie would be the United States.

LAPD fired rubber bullets at Australian journalist @laurentomasi.bsky.social

Australia's failure to sanction Israel a diplomatic and moral abdication https://independentaustralia.net/politics/politics-display/australias-failure-to-sanction-israel-a-diplomatic-and-moral-abdication,19799?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=IA_Feed #Auspol

In an angry statement, Pacific Elders warn Australia that approving more fossil fuel projects “compromises the security of our Pacific communities and grossly undermines the spirit of partnership and trust in our Pacific family.” pacificelders.org/statement/au...

Albanese says Israel’s blockade of aid & food is “completely unacceptable” & their excuses are “without credibility”. Agree. But are the “bombs” acceptable, @albomp.bsky.social? The “bullets”? How about “burning men, women, children & babies alive”. ACCEPTABLE? Your SILENCE speaks volumes.

What do you call it? My @smh @theage cartoon.

This is great. Making elite education free/available to all is the way. Want to fight misinformation? This is how you do it. Remember: Joe Rogan is free.

This whole thread. COVID did not emerge from a lab and the big discussion we should be having is how to improve our response to crises like it in the future and what systemic reforms we need to make. But NYT allowed itself to be a tool of right-wing propaganda, helping derail those discussions.

I wish our newly re-elected Albanese Labor Govt would take a principled stand and oppose Israel's murder of men, women and children in Gaza. 1. Recognise Palestine. 2. Condemn Israel's genocide in Gaza. 3. Sanction Israel. #auspol #RecognisePalestine #FreePalestine #IsraeliWarCrimes #GazaGenocide

Australia is complicit in Israel's ongoing genocidal assault on Gaza. Anyone claiming this is not the case is lying. Australia must recognise Palestine. End its military support of genocide. And introduce sanctions against Israel. #auspol #GazaGenocide #RecognisePalestine #FreePalestine 🇵🇸

The Tony Blair Institute's report on climate change is pro-fossil fuels, pro-CCS, pro-AI, pro-carbon markets, pro-nature-based solutions, and pro-nuclear. These are not solutions to the climate crisis. But they are everything his clients are asking of him. reddmonitor.substack.com/p/tony-blair...

This is from The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson aired on May 20th, 1977. Carl Sagan says something very important, a strong message that didn't lose any validity since then.

NEW: Farmers are dying by suicide at the third-highest rate by vocation in Utah. But after a federal program offering mental health support ran out of money, the state did not continue it. By @jessicamiller.bsky.social, with @sltrib.com

This is Linda Martin. A few years ago, the FBI seized her life savings: $40,200. The kicker: She was never charged with a crime—and the government couldn’t tell her why it took her money. Martin is far from the first. But she is trying to make sure she is the last. A thread.

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my f*cking firing. I make $50K a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.” A federal employee

Well that would help focus and concentration 🙃

WTF

This is why I give and support my local animal shelter. They rely on community donations and support the animals in our county. If you're in Northwest Missouri, check out the New Nodaway Humane Society for a new friend. They have several free adoptions right now. www.newnodawayhumanesociety.org

Millions of Soviet Communists—an estimated 20 million—died during World War II for absolutely nothing, as they could simply have teamed up with one of their number There's a point at which a lie about an event in history is so egregiously offensive it should separate you from polite society forever

The comic that got us demonetised on Facebook back in August. (We’re no longer on Facebook).

ABC has been alternating all day between LA wildfires and a sob story about a guy in Queensland whose subdivision application was knocked back because he wants to build a house in a flood zone

The chair of the UK's biggest business lobby group has urged the government to foster closer economic ties with China, even if it risks the ire of US President-elect Donald Trump.
