As a trans dual citizen living in Australia, whose entire family is in America... this fucking sucks

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

At least 590 First Nations people have died in custody since the 1991 Royal Commission into Aboriginal deaths in Custody. No one has ever been found criminally responsible for any of their deaths. No one should die in prison. nit.com.au/15-04-2025/1...

Interesting.

Temperature increase is accelerating The planet doesn't care if renewable use is increasing, it does care that we're expanding fossil fuel production We need to vote politicians out, if they're not committed to reducing production mailchi.mp/caa/2025-glo...

"Police allege they found weapons and camouflage clothing inside his car. It is also alleged that during a further search of the vehicle officers located a shovel, axe, gloves, duct tape, ropes and a cadaver bag."

Trump is defying a Supreme Court judgement to return a man wrongfully deported to a foreign prison without any due process. This. Is. A. Constitutional. Crisis. Not that you would know from today’s front pages. Most suggest it’s all El Salvador’s fault. A colossal failure of mainstream media.

HE IS PROMISING TO SEND AMERICANS TO FOREIGN DEATH CAMPS. This is it. This is where America ends.

Truly depraved. In one of his first acts, Trump trashed every American’s legal and constitutional rights. They no longer have any.

Was actually wrong, I'm just two days away form having a full year's worth of stats. It's going to come in at just under 1,100 articles about trans people in the Guardian, Times, Mail and Telegraph over that time, almost all attacks. That's an ave of 3 a day every single day from just those papers

This election campaign is pretty depressing in terms of the vision being presented for our country. But Dutton rolling out his 20-year-old son to ppl to pretend that he, Dutton the Dad, ‘gets’ how hard it is for parents watching their kids struggle - WHEN HE’S A MULTIMILLIONAIRE is so gross

Peter Dutton’s Liberal Party is coming for trans people. Amelia Hamer, candidate for Kooyong and London landlord doesn’t believe trans people exist.

Ended. Up. Ended. Up. endedup

The Israeli military has completed trials of an advanced weapon designed and built by Australian company Electro Optic Systems (EOS). It can strike targets up to 2km away. Albo is still claiming Australia doesn't export weapons to Israel www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...

The last standing hospital in Gaza, Al Ahli Baptist, has been struck… Dead, injured, Children… There is no information at the moment. #GazaGenocide #gaza

Today’s Gaza rally in Melb very election focussed, with 3 candidates speaking (Greens, VicSoc, Australia’s Voice), ahead of Muslim Votes Matter releasing a digital tool that will detail the record on Gaza of every candidate in every electorate. Will Palestine have any impact on May 3?

Image emerges of Jacinta Price wearing Maga cap – one day after she says Coalition will ‘make Australia great again’

APAN have made it easy for you to send an email to every candidate in your electorate telling them you will vote with Palestine on May 3.

I’ve just received a new evacuation warning Where are we supposed to go now??

How did the bulldogs manage to end up here? What happened to their little doggie legs?

Looks like Dutton swung the Jacinta Price wrecking ball in the wrong direction.

Things are so dire they don’t know where to go so they’re just writing through it

If you listened to Spin Cycle a couple of weeks back and heard @alexmckinnon.bsky.social talk about his fundraising project for families in Gaza, here it is.
