BREAKING: A federal judge reversed National Institutes of Health's terminations of hundreds of critical research grants that were canceled because of their alleged connection to disfavored topics, including diversity, equity, inclusion, and gender identity. This is a major win for public health.

This past Saturday, Donald Trump's self-aggrandizing birthday parade was held in stark contrast to thousands of protests across the country. But what does this non-violent resistance against Trump add up to in terms of creating real change? Looking to history can help.

Trump's insistence that Israel attacking Iran is nothing to do with the US? "Nothing, that is, except it was forewarned, and that central to Israel's military capability is US funding, US hardware, US intelligence and US technology." John Lyons www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06...

At least 12 million people ( 3.7% of US pop) took a stand against the Trump regime and fascism on Saturday. The next step is a national general strike and boycotts. When 3.5% of the whole population of a nation has begun to participate in resistance, success is inevitable. #3E #NoKings #StopICE

"Donald Trump has wrecked America’s brand. He’s made crossing over from Canada a betrayal, bordering on treason, while turning the U.S. into a laughingstock around the globe." @rollingstone.com www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

🚨 Rebel News just lost its court battle for official journalism status. The judge found only 10 of 423 posts met the standard for real news. The CRA ruled most were opinion, rewrites, or activist fundraising—not journalism. The ruling makes one thing clear: propaganda isn’t journalism.

Yesterday I saw the extent of protests in USA as a glimmer of hope. But ABCNews has brought me back to reality, illustrating exactly how thoroughly media organisations can minimise events. Who makes these decisions and why?

ABCNews: “tens of thousands”. 11 million+ is lots of tens of thousands. The report sounded as though the Birthday parade was America’s main focus and the rest also happened, especially violence in LA.

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

“It’s worth thinking on, though the daunting possibility is that it’s a conundrum best resolved by journalists balancing the government’s assertions with alternative perspectives based on actual policy knowledge. That would run counter to the majority press gallery practice of decades…” ⤵️ #auspol

ABC insists on calling on Joe Hockey for his 'expertise' on #AUKUS. They identify him as former ambassador to the US. But fail to note that he is a current lobbyist for weapons companies in the US and Australia. aka conflict of interest. #ThisIsNotJournalism #auspol www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

The US is reviewing #AUKUS! The program is an unaffordable, sovereign sapping and highly risky defence acquisition - a huge blunder of Scott Morrison, embraced by @albomp.bsky.social. Trump will likely demand more $ billions, or else exit. We should pull the plug. #auspol

Australia needs clarity. If the PM responsible for Robodebt can be rewarded, nothing is off limits. If we don’t speak up, we are silently agreeing to live in a nation where cruelty is policy and honour is survival at the top. #auspol #Honour

Perhaps the government should try an announcement saying that they’re not going to talk about productivity, jobs and wages. Would the reaction of journalists including ABC be as negative?

I beg the Australian gov. Take sanctions against Israel. End the blockade. Support the flotilla that’s waiting to bring food into #Gaza that has not seen food for a frighteningly long time. Never let it be said that Australia assisted in starving a nation to death. #Auspol youtu.be/1R8JHrNAlYM
