This week's #SundayShot is ready for your viewing pleasure. A great chat with @mrrexpatrick.bsky.social & @chriswallace.bsky.social - just as well @michaelpascoe01.bsky.social was unexpectedly stuck elsewhere as these two had a LOT to say! Please watch & subscribe. www.youtube.com/live/E2c8Wak...

Trump is sending 2,000 National Guardsmen to California — a move Gov. Gavin Newsom says is "purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions." "The Guard has been admirably serving LA throughout recovery. This is the wrong mission and will erode public trust."

See @albomp.bsky.social? Solving the homeless crisis can be done, with enough political will. How about it?

Fucking horrific

I feel like we don't often get these positive stories, just negative ones. But there are real upsides to "agrisolar" and "agrivoltaics" that we've known about for years. Got any other links? Solar And Agriculture Could Be Perfect Match. [from Mar 2023] cleanenergycouncil.org.au/news-resourc...

There isn't a single war in existence that has lasted 77 years and where 96% of the victims come from the one side. This is colonial genocide, not war

@srpassesiton.bsky.social Hi looked for you at last after deep immersion in Gaza since the slaughters began.

On the impact of masks in schools during Covid in 2022 "We further estimate that the removal of mandates during this time contributed to 21,800 COVID deaths through the rest of 2022, 9% of the U.S. total that year." www.nber.org/papers/w33849

Even Zionists admit #ItWasAScam - but they're still playing the antisemitism card, and politicians are pretending to lap it up

“We're supplying weapons components to carry out the bombing of children, hospitals, schools…in what is an open air concentration camp." End all arms sales. End the reconnaissance flights. End the genocide. End the occupation. @rmtunion.bsky.social

OK since it looks like another election I hope the Liberals are on notice from the last one. Do not preselect persons of curious vaccine views who think Tasmanians are ostriches. #politas

🚨 This is massive news. I can't tell you how thrilled I am to hear it. While they've not said anything on the details, we can say with confidence they will now look at matters *other* than the current mutual obligations framework. We can all think of one or two legal issues of that description.

There’s a new COVID variant driving up infections. A virologist explains what to know about NB.1.8.1 theconversation.com/theres-a-new... A good explainer about NB.1.8.1.

Yet another rise in COVID notifications this week in South Australia. It has gone from 159 at the beginning of May to 313 today. There have been similar rises in WA, Vic, Qld and NSW. Subvariant NB.1.8.1 is taking hold.

In the same Queensland bill; make renewable energy developers undertake community consultation while removing legal challenges & council planning for Olympics development. Who else but Lord Pocketsquare Jarrod Bleijie. #qldpol www.brisbanetimes.com.au/national/que...

Soon enough, ICE (or its associated thugs) is going to start shooting and there'll be full-blown riots. And that will be the rationalisation Trump's been after to declare martial law and suppress protest and the right to assembly.

This is wonderful. And it's the only possible solution - average people taking back control.

"There is now across many Western countries what Guardian correspondent Owen Jones termed “a reckoning” when Israel’s enablers will face the judgment of history." johnmenadue.com/post/2025/06... #AusPol #genocide #Palestine #Israel

Serious #health hazard. Do we all k is which antibiotics? Are the same of similar used in human medicine? If so, expect SERIOUS increase in anaphylactic shock among patients.

Found this from a Twitter friend Oct '23.

Whether Israel is committing genocide isn’t even contentious anymore. The real question is: how did we ever let it get this far? Australia’s Albanese ALP government still won’t condemn Israeli atrocities on par with the Nazis. #auspol

Six months of natural disasters in 2025 have cost the economy $2.2bn, largely in slower retail and household spending, according to new federal Treasury analysis www.theguardian.com/business/202...
