This unremitting madness, acts of greed and stupidity and relentless destruction of our world without any fallback or sanctuary, can have only one conclusion. Before we lapse into hopeless despair and say goodbye, there is a battle not yet lost. Resist, rage, protest, vote. bbc.com/news/article...

Shalailah Medhora says what everyone is thinking, “Don’t you think it’s kind of wild that we have this situation where the Liberal Party & the Coalition looked at it’s loss & went, ‘maybe we need to go more to the Right, maybe that’s what will appeal to people’”🔥💯#Auspol

Price stood for election as CLP National Senator. Now, before the votes are fully counted, she moves to Liberal. Why now? She could have stood as a Liberal and let voters decide. This is grotesque opportunism presumably with support from key Trumpish Liberals. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

The poisonroot Howard planted has come to fruit. His legacy is the destruction of Liberal as a centre-right party. It was he who served up destructive populist vitriol with culture wars, self-interest, nationalism, xenophobia and rearview fantasy, purging moderates. inside.org.au/are-the-libe...

Albanese: “so why do we apply double standards to Palestine?.. Because you’re scared... of doing the right thing because the right thing comes with a price, and ... I take that price as the price of humanity, a price that I can bear, and you should do the same.” thecurrency.news/articles/184...

UN Special Rapporteur, Francesca Albanese calls for world to act on Israel’s brutalization of Palestinians #ArmsEmbargoNow #GlobalStrikeForGaza #FreePalestine #BDS trt.global/world/video/...

‼️ BREAKING: UN Human Rights Council Extends Francesca Albanese’s Mandate Until 2028! The UN HR Council has extended Francesca Albanese’s mandate as Special Rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories for an additional 3 years 👏🏼🇵🇸

I think a lot about what Carl Sagan said in one of his final interviews.

This is what a rigged economy looks like: In the 1970s, CEOs made 27 times more than the average worker. In the 1980s, CEOs made 48 times more than the average worker. This decade, CEOs are making 354 times more than the average worker. That has got to change.

Here's a good reason for sensible people concerned about their world, jobs and kids' futures to reject delusional Lib/Nat climate nutjobs who stymy transition from fossil fuels, aspire to fascistic economics and promote baseless beliefs over irrefutable science. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

🚨 I have another record to share - carbon dioxide (CO₂) averaged a record high of 428.2 ppm in March 2025 10 years ago March averaged about 401.7 ppm Provided by gml.noaa.gov/ccgg/trends/. Climate monitoring and data like this are at risk. #StandUpForScience

been a few months since this stupid policy was announced. dutton and price — both beholden to gina — want you to forget about their copycat musk #DOGE policy. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Wilcox !!

Day 68 into the GOP takeover: Prices are going up. Consumer confidence is plummeting. Classified info is being leaked. Social Security is being dismantled. Residents are being arrested for their political views.

The Trumpian retreat from leadership of 'the West', betraying common interests and bullying allies, means liberal democracies need to quickly develop a new international mechanism for leadership underpinned by common interests and shared commitments without USA. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Always be rude to fascists in every way you possibly can. Be passive-aggressive. Be confrontational. Tell them their mommies didn't love them and that it's their fault. Make them cry. They're fascists!

‘It is perhaps the most paranoid, hateful, and terrifying book I have ever picked up. (I say this as someone who has read Mein Kampf.) And it comes with a warm and supportive blurb from Ohio senator J.D. Vance…’ #resist #fascism 📎 www.currentaffairs.org/news/the-hor...

just three days after Australia’s cheque cleared, the Congressional Research Service quietly issued a paper saying while the nuclear-powered attack submarines (known as SSNs) intended for Australia might be built, the US could decide to never hand them over. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

From the @aljazeera.com website. Netanyahu’s genocidal policies continue #Gaza

Breaking: Israel has once again stopped entry to humanitarian aid to Gaza.

Three Chinese warships sailed into Sydney Harbour in June 2019 At the time reportedly unannounced The Government of the day was … umm … the LNP Government The Defence Minister was Linda Reynolds The Home Affairs Minister was - checks notes - one Peter Dutton ... #auspol

Pass it on. #StandWithUkraine

Actually pretty reassuring to see the right-wing press break for Ukraine and against Trump. They've been churning out such monstrous guff recently it wasn't necessarily clear they would.

This is absolutely terrible. And that mainstream media/ABC are not covering it? What??? #auspol

Absolutely

Former KGB spy breaks cover to reveal Donald Trump was recruited as a Russian spy 38 years ago. Byline Times was subjected to a DDOS attack to prevent this story being published. bylinetimes.com/2025/02/21/d...

On one hand, truth. On the other people struggling with lies. iandunt.substack.com/p/the-lies-a... www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

Whichever way you look at it, on facts not spin, Trump is in Putin's orbit. He spouts Putin's talking points and amplifies his propaganda. Trump the acolyte pushes pro-Russian policy. Cui bene? Truth is staring us all in the face. iandunt.substack.com/p/the-lies-a...?

The lies are the point. Ian Dunt unstitches the Ukraine stitch up Putin has engineered (with Trump in tow). iandunt.substack.com/p/the-lies-a...

In fairness to JD Vance, he's not wrong that Canada has seen massive increases in the trafficking of fentanyl across its border. He's just a bit confused about the direction it is flowing. The US ships 22 TIMES the fentanyl to Canada that Canada ships to the US. And Canada is a smaller market.

I love how Trump, Vance and Musk style themselves defenders of free speech, while simultaneously banning government agencies from mentioning climate change or diversity (inc biodiversity!), equity and inclusion, or even possessing maps which show the Gulf of Mexico. Torquemadas the lot of them.

What is the likelihood Trump will form an alliance with Putin? If so what role for Shi in their carve of the world according to their new world order? Europe is on a knife edge. As is a decent world able to sustain ecodiverse life with us included. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

Look at this picture of Jabaliya and ask yourself how this can be considered proportionate or justified by any standard?

Politicians should be made to recognise how unacceptable this sort of provocation is. The Telegraph should be held to account. www.megaphone.org.au/petitions/pe...

A huge decision from Judge Amir Ali, meticulously reasoned and utterly scathing, finding that Trump’s foreign aid freeze is almost certainly an illegal and arbitrary abuse of power. He orders the immediate restoration of all international assistance. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

The Daily Telegraph prepared for a story featuring an ‘undercover Jewish man’ using covert recording eyewear. CCTV footage and internal files seen by Crikey show it didn’t go as planned.

A group of 26 financial institutions+pension funds with $1.5tn in funds have told asset managers to enhance climate action "...climate change [is] a long-term financial risk, particularly for pension funds that would will need to pay out retirement incomes for decades to come." on.ft.com/4gzMwp2
