Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

300 people showed up outside of Murkowski & Sullivan's offices. On a Thursday. In February. In Anchorage, Alaska! Alaskans are taking a stand and demand our elected officials to do the same. We don't expect you to save us but we do expect you to STAND WITH US! In-person town hall anyone??

An impactful read from @georgemonbiot.bsky.social; the first book I’ve picked up in quite some time that I couldn’t put down. I’d put this high on the list of required reading for 2025 if we’re to cultivate a strong understanding of how we got here, and how we move forward. Some excerpts:

If you’re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you haven’t been following my account for very long. They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net

Ex NFL punter Chris Kluwe was arrested for disrupting an assembly after comparing Donald Trump's MAGA to a 'Nazi movement' during a City Council meeting “MAGA is profoundly corrupt, unmistakably anti-democracy, & most importantly, MAGA is explicitly a Nazi movement,” he concluded... 1/

Big Gas is taking the piss. Help us spread the word, and share this. 👇 90% of WA’s gas is exported. Big Gas takes 73% the gas for free. To add insult to injury, these gas exporters have never paid resources tax. Add your name to make them pay their fair share: theaus.in/collect_gas_... #auspol

Extraordinary arrogance by NACC Commr Brereton to still refuse to resign even after being humiliated by eminent person Geoffrey Nettle KC who overturned NACC’s Robodebt decision after Brereton breached his own Act in an attempt to let his friend Kathryn Campbell off the hook🤬

This is exactly why we need to make @bsky.app the biggest social media platform on the planet. We need to do it at pace and with urgency. We need share the truth & the facts far & wide - & then, at the earliest opportunity, send those truth twisting & lying charlatans, wherever we find them, packing

The Manager of ABC Radio National will be in a public chinwag with a far right-wing Murdoch columnist. No doubt making public statements endorsing one party to a conflict. Meanwhile, they sacked Antoinette Lattouf for tweeting a post from Human Rights Watch! #theabcisdeadtome

Dutton today on Jews in Australia: "I’ve never seen an element of society ostracised in such a way" Yeah, that's why they have a much lower life expectancy, earn 25% less than everyone else, and are 17 times more likely to be incarcerated... Oh wait, no that's another group.. can't think who.

A bit of a personal note. I’m working on a paper on wage theft from staff at Australian universities at the moment. The level of wrongdoing is nuts. We’re up to $265m in underpayments that have been admitted to by Australian public universities. No university VCs have faced any consequences

Chris Oliver-Taylor will leave the ABC. Good. More importantly: Has the ABC apologised to journalist and presenter @antoinettelattouf.bsky.social and has the ABC reinstated her? I'm STILL disgusted by the ABC's persecution of an outstanding journalist for sharing an HRW post. 🤔 #JournalismMatters

This is certainly a GoFundMe campaign worth supporting. Antoinette was unjustly targeted by a lobby group, and dismissed by a weak ABC management. This should not have happened in a free and fair Australia & especially from our publicly funded media organisation. #auspol

I can't shake how significant this moment feels. Every journalist now actively trying to excuse or rationalise Musk's expression of hate feels very much to me like they're almost literally doing the same movement. I just hope they know that: they're announcing their position. archive.ph/ABin9

The amazing thing about Peter Dutton's claim here is that while he make it sound like a difficult task, this would actually be a slower roll-out than what was likely achieved in Australia 2024. A quick thread with numbers:
