F*ck yeah! 👍

“Colonialism is insatiable. Enough is never enough.” — Omar El Akkad just now on Al Jazeera

The ‘suppository of all wisdom’ and misogynistic ‘Minister for Women’ thinks we should be proud of genocide, stolen generations and the abhorrent ‘White Australia policy’? Tell us, Tones, what “good intentions” were behind all that? #MadMonk

Axis of evil

On the 8th #ShowYourStripes day, a thread on how and why these simple graphics have spread across the world. You can read the story of how the ideas were developed in 2018, involving a blanket and an event at Hay Festival: journals.ametsoc.org/downloadpdf/...

These ICE arrests in #US are eating at my soul. FFS America get your shit together. Stop bashing your people and stop bombing other countries. #Iran #fucktrump

NEW: Pope Leo’s newly appointed Bishop, Michael Pham, outside the court in San Diego: “We need to speak up for the voiceless in our society - and we will.” The video then shows masked ICE agents leaving without snatching anyone today. More of this resistance nationwide! 👏 (🎥 PSL San Diego)

Resistance works! *Echo throughout history*

Israeli Government policy and the conduct of the IDF diverge in fundamental ways from the core ethical precepts of Judaism and cannot be understood as a legitimate representative of Judaic ethical traditions or of Jewish thought and culture more generally. #auspol #Juda ...

I want to live in a world where scientific explanations get more "likes" than conspiracy theories.

Richard Scarry depicted this awhile ago. #childrenbooks #illustrator #richardscarry #childhood

Same country that re-elected a convicted felon and put a Science denying, ex heroin junkie in charge of their Healthcare? Bet he is an “expert” on all things “reckless” then, eh?

Count our losses. Count our blessings Scumo is out, Dutton is out, and let #aukus die. #G7 #auspol.

As in 1925, we scientists, philosophers, writers, artists and citizens of the world, have a responsibility to denounce and resist the resurgence of fascism in all its forms. Those who value democracy can sign. #auspol #fascism #400scholars

I cannot express myself why I am a Labo/ur man any better than Jordan does. Watch. Learn. Love. #auspol www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWoI...

Wait. Netanyahu vowing to make Iran pay "a very heavy price" for killing civilians? After making the pre-emptive strike? Does it expect Iran to sit around and do nothing? And the >55,000 dead Palestinians, incl so many children, it's responsible for in 20 months? #Israel

There it is Republican congressman Rob Wittman told Four Corners “having Australia equipped with Virginia-class subs would place an obligation on Canberra to use them to assist the US in the Indo-Pacific.” #4Corners #auspol

Happy Barack Obama Appreciation Day!

Thought this deserves another post.

So on the one hand we have Hugh White, Paul Keating, Malcolm Turnbull, Bob Carr, Sam Roggeveen, and naval experts all saying AUKUS is a dud and undermines our security. On the other we have Scott Morrison, Joe Hockey, Richard Marles and Angus Taylor saying all good mate. What are we even doing?

Wonder Woman! Always my hero!
