130 children in one day. qudsnen.co/unicef-israe...

"Fully coordinated with Washington."

The cruelty (especially to women and POC) is the point.

400 killed. Mostly women and children. And this is the front page headline.

I title this beautiful image “Putin on the Ritz”.

NDAs. Once used to protect sensitive business info and IP, they've evolved into mechanisms for silencing women, becoming shields for workplace misconduct. They see women quietly leaving positions, careers and industries. Great piece here by Jill Valentine womensagenda.com.au/latest/non-d...

In 1995, SANE had billboards: "We help you to help them". This "othered" those of us with a mental illness. 30 years later SANE has the byline "We're people like you". Bravo. Thanks @angelapriestley.bsky.social for publishing this article: womensagenda.com.au/life/health/...

Adam Neumann of WeWork disaster fame has a print magazine. And of course, he's one of the few people globally to (allegedly) make it profitable. www.axios.com/2025/03/11/a...

What happened to the youth climate movement? Climate concern among 18-29yos peaked in 2019 with 81% seeing “global warming as a serious and pressing problem”. It fell to 73% last year. www.lowyinstitute.org/the-interpre...

From ethnic cleansing to dismantling NATO, here's everything Australia stayed silent on, only to get the same tariffs as countries who told Trump to go fuck himself: www.crikey.com.au/2025/03/12/a...

Likely deliberate. We'll take the money. But here's our news story (and editorial!!) ensuring readers believe that we believe it's wrong and offensive.

As anticipated, here it is! The enemy is another former PM according to the Murdoch press, not the White House bully. "Undiluted Turnbull torpedoes tariff talks."

The US Chief of Cost Cutting has successful cut the Tesla share price. And his own personal wealth. Tesla stock has lost the 91% gain it achieved with the Trump election. www.forbes.com.au/news/billion...

'Welcome to the States boys!' Andrew Tate and his brother have been sharing hugs with Meta board member and UFC president Dana White. www.washingtonpost.com/entertainmen...

Took Trump a long time to catch on to everything Turnbull has been saying. For many years now. And now give it a few hours before Australian newspapers position Turnbull as the problem/enemy, as they did with Kevin Rudd. Rather than the White House bully.

The horror! 1 in 5 ‘never show up’ to some govt agencies! Are they required to build the building that houses the agency? If not, 1 in 5 WFH would seem a healthy balance, especially in including those who can’t physically get to an office & given we have this amazing stuff called tech

Trump: You should be hired and promoted based on skill and competence *Camera cuts to Boebert*

Why don’t more Democrats heckle? Why not make more noise? Only one removed so far. Slight booing. Nice use of “false” signs. But god bring some energy and unity and something more than utter defeat.

“Our pride is back.” Trump in first address to Congress. So much pride now among those of his professional clappers.

Peter Dutton says public servants who can't return to the office 5 days a week can always explore "job sharing arrangements". Seriously? Women's workforce participation will be the real loser of Dutton's planned mass layoffs and office mandate across the sector womensagenda.com.au/latest/eds-b...

Chaos. Mass Firings. The destruction of trade and alliances. Climate change accelerated. But Trump’s America is an exciting opportunity for Wall Street Chiefs!

🧵 #auspol There is no choice now after this W/E Flames for justice must rise 🔥🔥 Dissenting voices will not stop us as #truth is our fire 🧯🧯🧯 You can malign truth like we have observed. It always comes out. The faster the truth comes out the quicker we end the disease called #neoliberalism

The cowardly Marco Rubio. The childish JD Vance. The sycophant journalist asking 'why don't you wear a suit?" And their president with the enormously fragile ego. With one actual leader among them, the man who may "wear the costume" once the war is over. womensagenda.com.au/latest/why-d...

Kids, one of these two is an actual “tough guy”

Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦 #auspol Can’t believe what we’ve woken up to.

AUKUS is Australia’s first defence deal with Russia.

This "pro-democracy news network" now has the most-listened to podcast in the US, ahead of Rogan. They are 3 brothers talking politics. They really hate Trump. Their popularity could be signaling a shift in tone among Americans. www.newsweek.com/meidas-touch...

Trump on AUKUS, "what does that mean?" The President appears to be unaware of Australia's new military pact with the US and Britain. A good thing our kids and grandkids will be working so hard for it! www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pok...

"Deaths of Gene Hackman, wife and their dog" Anyone else find these headlines off? He gets a name. Betsy Arakawa gets "wife". He was 95. She was more than THIRTY years youger at 63. And we still don't know the circumstances behind their deaths. www.smh.com.au/culture/cele...

💥 BREAKING: At John Deere's annual shareholders meeting today, shareholders overwhelmingly rejected an anti-DEI proposal brought by the same group that targeted Costco and Apple. An anti-DEI proposal from the NCPPR received less than 1 percent of votes. Deere shareholders: DEI is in. Bigots are out

This is evil. Pure evil.

Watching with interest!! Independent media is the future of news & hopefully truth. Finding them in one place is smart!! True North on Substack is great for Aussies too! Thank You @deniseshrivell.bsky.social ⭐️ #independentmedia

This looks great. A group of foreign correspondents are launching Noosphere, a mobile-first platform offering a single primary feed. www.semafor.com/article/02/2...

Forced disappearances, shooting. executions, hostage-taking. Russia has been targeting Ukrainian and foreign journlaists covering the war since its full-scale invasion started 3 years ago. rsf.org/en/three-yea...

“The #USA voted against a resolution, backed by most of Europe, demanding Russian withdrawal from #Ukraine — a deep fissure between allies, & a sharp shift in American policy.” Future of Australia-US “alliance” & #AUKUS? #Trump #Russia #Putin #fascism www.nytimes.com/2025/02/24/w...

I hope they are hiring some people to read the emails from all the federal employees being told they need to now share explanations with DOGE regarding what they do

"Like the Fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, corporate woke is collapsing faster than we dared imagine." Is this the only historical event he remembers in search for something irrelevant to compare? Hope Nick Cater is also concerned with growing division in Europe www.skynews.com.au/insights-and...

Excellent report on one consequence of Texas abortion ban: Sepsis. Rate of sepsis up more than 50% for women hospitalized when they lost their pregnancies in the 2nd trimester www.propublica.org/article/texa...

Casual Friday morning reminder that Russia invaded Ukraine. Fox News spent plenty of time documenting those early days. Just in case anyone wants to try and rewrite some more facts. Monday marks 3 years since the start of the full scale war. www.foxnews.com/video/629871...

At what point in recent history did it become OK to take the Kremlin’s side? Seriously, this just shocks me

My Y6 kid says his school hasn't been back for the annual Parliament/Canberra camp since COVID. Anyone else experienced this in their kids' schools? Was asking what they've been learning about democracy etc, following the dismal Australia-wide civics test results.

Worker productivity must be going well. DOGE order sees federal employees ordered back to the office. There's not enough desks, so they're told to 'share on a rotating basis' Supervisors told to 'flip a coin' if workplace conflicts can't be resolved. www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

"China, too, imposed tariffs. It, too, issued demands - cracking down on critical media reports, halting human rights criticisms. But it didn’t demand Australia dismantle its social safety net or abandon culture protections or allow agricultural diseases in.." www.crikey.com.au/2025/02/18/d...
