The Australien Government has made an ad to announce the 2025 election, and it's surprisingly honest and informative. #auspol

The MAGA Carta of King Trump

What the fuck is going on with our national cultural institutions?? First Creative Australia and now the National Gallery betrays artists and their very raison d'etres with these utterly shameful acts of artistic censorship. www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

It's hard for people in the Global South to focus on dealing with climate change when they don't have adequate electricity, water, sanitation, and transportation infrastructure. It turns out it's also hard in the Global North to focus on climate change when there's not a functioning democracy.

Relatable.

Claiming #nuclear will deliver you 44% lower bills is a bit like claiming a wrinkle cream will make you look 44% younger

one thing im totally baffled by is how many people around me are totally blasé / not attuned / not frightened by the political situation? maybe if you're not directly affected it's easier to ignore & just think things are normal? the disconnect is so insane

time to dig up the @adamkotsko.bsky.social tweet

I too would like to be swallowed by a whale. No need to spit me out.

When a big news story breaks, politicians & pundits rush to comment right away. But some folks are getting sick of the endless rounds of lies & empty, quick-fire reactions. There is another way - slower & fact-based: 📰 Read: www.hrw.org/the-day-in-h... 🔊 Listen: www.hrw.org/video-photos...

"Fire is a natural process – albeit...as climate change worsens, landscapes like the Grampians will face more frequent, large wildfires. The best action we can take is to pressure governments to seriously address climate change and implement meaningful solutions." theconversation.com/grampians-na...

'Antitrust action is downstream of a global groundswell of fury with corporate control and concentration. Getting rid of antitrust enforcers does nothing to change that fury. And, honestly, getting rid of the rules doesn't mean we stop the game. It means we don't have to play by the rules anymore.'

Truth Sandwich 🥪 Reporting on politics these days is a challenge. Use the Truth Sandwich. State facts, then the falsehood, then facts again. Facts first and last. Don’t amplify falsehoods without context. This is a useful reminder for journalists and in public discussions Graphic @newslit.org

ABC’s Global Affairs Editor John Lyons has called out “the media” for keeping quiet about “huge oil & gas reserves off the coast of Gaza.” Says that if Trump “moves troops in” & gets the “Palestinians to leave” he’ll be able to steal it all from the Palestinians.

VLADIMIR: Well? Shall we log off? ESTRAGON: Yes, let's log off. They do not log off.

Article 7 of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court provides that "deportation or forcible transfer of population" is a crime against humanity. Australia is a party to the Rome Statute and obliged to enforce its provisions. Trump's plan to remove the population of Gaza is criminal.

Early morning love poem.

'So, you've dug yourself into a hole, and don't know how to get out. Well up next, our guest presenters from ABC senior management and their legal team will show you how you can - just keep digging!"

For once it'd be cool to see liberalism fight the right without offering concessions or sacrificing a marginal group. Just actually fight them.
