People assume they’ll be the exception. That disability, poverty, homelessness won’t befall them That if something “bad” happens, they will be able to “try harder” their way out of it. This false belief allows them to blame the ones who are suffering, instead of the oppressive systems that trap us

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

Elon Musk said DOGE made a mistake by cutting USAID’s Ebola prevention but it had been “restored.” That’s not true, current and former officials told me and @johnphudson.bsky.social. “There have been no efforts to ‘turn on’” Ebola prevention, said Nidhi Bouri, who oversaw team until January.

Defence says the ADF officer whose top secret security clearance was removed in 2023 by ASIO because of greater loyalty to Israel is still a member of the Defence Force. This is despite the fact the officer was untruthful in his security assessments and breached confidentiality.

A Jewish man in Miami shot two Jewish Israeli tourists, thinking they were Palestinians. The Israelis spoke of antisemitism & said “death to Arabs”. There were no Palestinians or Arabs involved. A Zionist fantasy, a fever dream, full of hallucinated monsters. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Spot on from Bernard Keane. Just about every mainstream media outlet, not to mention both major political parties, use fear, hate & division to get clicks or win votes. The cynicism & paucity of moral leadership in this country really sucks.

This is just such a typical, completely backwards response from Creative Australia: commission a review into the appointment of the artist, but not a review of the matter at the centre of the actual outrage: their own shameful about-face. Do better. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

The media has focused more on polling in the past 2 days than it has on policy for the entire past 3 years. Journalists get incredibly excited about the horse race. Means they don't have to do any work.
