UPDATE: I’vespoken to the media unit at Victoria Police about the balaclava clad men, asking if they are aware, if the video is A.I etc. I was told they are investigating the incident as having happened.

Trump and MAGA have frozen international student visa interviews to screen social media for anti-Trump or pro-democracy views. The damage is done—top global talent will go elsewhere. America’s role as a beacon for brilliance is fading. #BlueCrew #ItsOurFutureStupid #Harvard #College

Couple thoughts on this Ukrainian operation: 18 months of planning with no leaks is crazy impressive. The intelligence picture, the OpSec, and the execution were all top notch. I’m curious to see what else they have planned, and yes I’m worried about how Russia will respond.

In a move that should surprise no one, you don’t steal the land and kill the inhabitants bc you want to share the land with them It’s only taken 76 years but the world might finally awaken to the reality that israel is just a murderous death cult using religion and the holocaust as a shield

It’s not “death by misadventure” when homeless people die from the cold. It’s policy failure. It’s a deliberate choice by politicians. aapnews.aap.com.au/a/lgGVRSjdp

This statement from Jonathan Joss's husband is heart breaking. No, headline writers, he wasn't "killed in an argument with a neighbor." He was deliberately murdered for being gay right after his dog was decapitated. Bet the murderer calls himself a "Christian." THIS is why Pride is important.

Labor and the LNP are exactly alike on climate change and environmental destruction. But hey it was fun having that play fight over nukes during the election rather than debating reality.

This video appears to show a group of men outside a Melbourne shopping centre (Northland). I think they’re chanting “white man fight back” or “white pride”. Oh & holding a super offensive sign. Will any news outlets or local MPs or cops will interrogate or nah? Looks frighteningly like Neo Nazis

But of course Ukraine's next attack will use a different method, and already have progressed to near the point of execution.

For a party of blue-bloods they sure are tight with their money and/or quick to cut their people loose. There must be a dozen Victorian Liberal Party people who could write that cheque from their current account. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

You cannot have this conversation without also looking at the cost and levels of access to decent medicine, and education about medicine. Like societies voting for Nazis, there is an underlying material and educational poverty feeding it. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Terrifying. Poland voting in (in all practical senses) neo-Nazis. But as long as the 'progressive' West persists with neocon policies that leave huge swathes of the population on or below the poverty line without a role or respect, this will be a constant risk. www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

The North West Shelf extension is a disaster. It will release more pollution each year than all of Australia’s coal stations combined, threaten ancient Murujuga rock art, and deliver $0 to the public purse. Yet Labor approved it anyway.

So: - a Zionist body booked an event; - some of the venue staff protested; - a Zionist complained that the protest "made Jewish people feel less safe". Maybe don't associate with Zionists? www.brisbanetimes.com.au/national/que... #AusPol #protest #Zionism

The foolish rationale for spending $368B on #AUKUS subs is to support the US in war with China over Taiwan. The US says this could happen in 2027. We won’t get US subs until at least 2032; if ever. AUKUS is strategic folly at every level. But don’t expect anyone to admit that. #auspol

Day 603 of the war on Gaza and journalists still seem to be having trouble with the basic five W’s of reporting. Who? What? When? Why? How? For a reason I cant quite put my finger on, they keep burying the lead: Who is doing this? How did the guns fire? And why were they waiting for food?

The Fed Gov needs to put a stop to the Americanisation of the health system. If Healthscope has shown us one thing, it’s that corporate self-interest is fundamentally at odds with the sustainable delivery of quality health care for the majority of Australians. #auspol #politas

Labor has delivered on the Coalition’s promise — approving Woodside’s gas extension in just 30 days. This carbon bomb undermines any serious commitment to net zero. A climate betrayal: billions of tonnes of emissions, a disregard for marine life & cultural heritage. #auspol #ClimateAction #StopGas

Some deep strategic thinking here: you shouldn't strike at critical assets of an enemy military because that cut off the "off-ramps" that said enemy shows no sign of wanting to take.
