Many years ago, before I started following politics, I worked at a winery cellar door. Two women came in for a tasting, one of whom gave off such a creepy vibe (despite being perfectly polite) that I noted her name on her credit card and Googled her after they left. That woman was Peta Credlin.

This is incredible

leftists: that thing you teach us in school to be terrified of is happening historians: that thing is definitely happening star wars: here is a beat-for-beat breakdown of how the thing happens, but with pew pew lasers. we know you watched it news outlets: these protesters are out of control

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

Take a listen and seriously consider it. While this is not an uncommon practice, I am glad people are beginning to speak up about it.

I am laughing so hard. Australians don’t want AUKUS. The Australian government is too cowardly to pull out. In a wild twist, it seems that the US government might sort it out for us anyway. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

I have a new hero. This owl stole a child's hobby horse and flies around with it!

You can feel how you want about spray painted walls or stereos going missing during unrest, but if you're directing *any* attention to that instead of the injustice that the unrest is addressing, then your priorities are out or order and your false equivalence is giving comfort to the oppressors.

For those forever asking is this a constitutional crisis? How will we know? Yes. The military is being mobilized to the 5 largest D democratic cities to quell protest before a military parade to celebrate dear leader. Ok? Got it? Act accordingly.

Never change, LA 🧘🏻‍♀️🌱

god i just cannot imagine giving a shit about what gender strangers live their lives in. like we get really wrapped up in layers of using science and poetry to defend ourselves but holy shit are transphobes just fucking busybody creeps

Greta Thunberg, arriving back in Europe after her abduction by Israel in international waters, explains in 40 seconds why western governments are colluding in genocide:

How the fuck is a curfew supposed to stop the cops from rioting?

Wow turns out after 18 months of gaslighting every protestor and activist and saying there was nothing Australia could do, it turns out there’s some stuff Australia can do! www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06...

“The world needs more young angry women.”

Yesterday I flagged some solid Australian journalists worth following, but forgot about Crikey! I can’t afford a subscription (broke, disabled student) but the gifted articles I’ve read are always solid. I particularly appreciate their critique here given the absolute bullshit reporting coming out.

Gotta love an 86-year-old woman with the heart of a poster

**Madleen is in Ashdod Port** We have just received confirmation that all 11 volunteers and one Al Jazeera reporter from the ‘Madleen’ are currently at Ashdod Port. They are being processed and transferred to detention. They are expected to be moved to the Ramleh detention facility unless ...2/

What are these 'shared values' with our 'friends' Israel and the US? Is it white supremacy? Genocide? Corruption? Systematically murdering brown people? Or is it the 'democracy' thing, that we have two useless political options, both of which want to make things worse? Explain it to me like I'm 6.

Way to ratchet up the tension, for fucks sake.
