World Central Kitchen has run out of food to serve in Gaza. Its bakery ("recently the last working bakery in Gaza") is out of flour. There are 100,000+ tons of food in staging areas within driving distance of Gaza, and Israel refuses to let them in wck.org/news/gaza-up...

My friends, our lives are tragic after the loss of my father. Please, my sisters and I need help. We live in a tent with no food or drink. We have lost everything. 🙏🥺💔🇵🇸 Donation link: gofund.me/6f9c2ce7

A world historical crime, taking place in full view, with the perpetrators so convinced of their impunity that they can brag about genocidal intent, and it’s hard not to agree with their calculation that no one will stop them and no one will be held accountable

There's no such thing as a disengaged voter. Go up to one and ask "Do you want to be able to go to a doctor when you want for free?" and "Do you want multinational companies to pay their fair share in tax?" and the answer will be an enthusiastic yes. Not all politics is *your* politics

A public housing estate in Bendigo was demolished two years ago with plans to rebuild it as social and affordable housing as part of Victoria's Big Housing Build. But the site remains vacant and homeless people have set up camp, as the local rental market tightens. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...

So my girlfriend is an amazing stop motion animator, and she recently did a medieval cat themed bumper for Adult Swim! Sharing it here because she only has Instagram and I think everyone needs to see her animations. She's so freaking talented, y'alls. PLEASE go follow her!

Fidaa has psoriasis and has been suffering terribly for a while without meds and under so much stress i am praying for this sweet, persistent, beautiful soul. her kids need her. this world is better off with her in it please send a few dollars to her paypal if you can

I don't think we've ever talked less about climate change than now, when its effects are so brutally apparent.

cool thread, so many researchers dedicated to ME/CFS & LC! the increasing number still feels so novel! #MECFS

I’m joining this Tomorrow Movement snap rally at @albomp.bsky.social‘s office this Saturday to demand the government use its majority to deliver real justice for First Peoples, for Palestine, for trans folks, for poor people and for everyone! Come along if you can ✊❤️

Omg yes that is the craziest aspect, I was there recently and there were genocidal slogans just EVERYWHERE. It’s pervasive and unavoidable and a shockingly poisonous atmosphere. Activists keep their heads down because the mood is one wrong look and a mob will come for you.

In Tasmania, salmon farmers can choose their own level of disclosure about the volume and location of antibiotic treatment. "Which means the public have no verifiable knowledge about whether, or how much, antibiotics have been used." Great piece from @joshuablackjb.bsky.social.

Welcome to Country The Voice Progress for environmental & social justice A safe climate ... There are very powerful individuals & organisations actively undermining Australian society & positive change, & many more should be aware of who they are, who they're aligned with & who they fund.

Noting for anyone in Australia who use Estradot patches.

Awesome work 🧪

No, "Australia" is in not in "a cost-of-living nightmare". For many, inflation is no biggie. We're in a poverty and inequality nightmare. If the media and political class only focus on the cost of things, and not structural problems, we'll never properly tax wealth. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...

That time Orson Welles got drunk while filming a wine commercial 🖤

Huh no surprise there I guess. I have so much to say about this. But I can't waste my tiny window of energy today writing all that. Or getting angry at these slow, gatekeeping shitheads.

We are dying of hunger, please help us 🥲 We are dying of hunger, please help us 🥺 We are dying of hunger, please help us 😭 We are dying of hunger, please help us 😔 chuffed.org/project/help...

My friends🫂❤️‍🩹 I need your humanity so much. We have not received the adequate support we deserve in these catastrophic circumstances. Please help me reach my goal today, 450€ to buy the necessary necessities of life. Your donations will help save my child and my family🫂🍉💔🙏🏻 chuffed.org/project/1245...

THIS! The ALP's win required loads of preferences. Many people whose vote ultimately went to Labor would have preferred someone else won. Albo was fairly unpopular before the election & this result hasn't suddenly proven he's some political genius. Labor ran a good campaign but still only got 35%

"there are 116,000 tonnes of food sitting just outside Gaza, enough to feed the population for four months, if Israel allowed it in" Maybe someone in the press pack will find a moment to ask PM Albo what concrete action he will take to address this??? www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...

Nationals Party not dead but trying to be, says McKenzie

The fact that people who claim to be serious are still out here both-sidesing (or actively supporting) one of the most defining cruelties of our lifetime is brutal scar on the humanity of the western world

The people of Gaza cannot survive on fundraisers. We're beyond scarcity of food items being sold at sky rocketing prices...soon there will be nothing left. This either ends because the international community demands it ends, or we'll be watching them starve to death. Pressure your representatives

So much relatable about this thread. Believe chronically ill people - we know our bodies!

This is one of the main villages you saw in No Other Land. The Israeli army destroyed it today.

Turns out we didn't need a Royal Commission on the Murdoch press, as the voters gave their own verdict on Saturday.

#Auspol Queensland just went from having one female Labor MP to seven. Amazing

Nothing to say about the Houthis per se but in a just world of course someone would be coming to the aid of Gazans, including with military force if necessary. It's a couple million people being bombed and starved. The fact you can't say that in polite society is some indictment of polite society.

was starting to shit on the pope donating the popemobile to gaza as a mobile health clinic but then matt pointed out at least it's bulletproof

I don't know what to tell you, friends. The situation here is catastrophic and very dangerous. The sentence I'm working on is our only source of income 💔 I ask all friends to read Sarah's message and take it into consideration with compassion and humanity. 🥺👇💔 gogetfunding.com/help-kazem-a...

Australia rejected the Dutton and the Murdoch agenda, now we’ll see if Labor do the same "There is no need to ask the Coalition, or its supporters in the political landscape such as News Corp, what it thinks needs to happen about anything in the future." www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/politic...
