I just signed @australiainstitute.org.au's petition: Demand the gas industry pays royalties! Will you join me? nb.australiainstitute.org.au/collect_gas_...

Israel carried out its plan to erase Gaza over the course of 18 months. Now that the plan has clearly fallen into place, the Netanyahu government is openly discussing ethnic cleansing. And still, Israel enjoys complete international impunity. mondoweiss.net/2025/05/exte...

Censorship is actively targeting pro-Palestinian voices, silencing truth and justice, also on BlueSky. I’m following this journalist’s backup account and donating via monthly subscription to support his work. I encourage everyone to do the same—standing against censorship is standing for truth.

Could you imagine the response if a democratic president said they didn’t know if they had to uphold the Constitution? How fast would the articles of impeachment be drawn ? 20 minutes at the most

Tear off the masks when they show up. Take their photos. Get them on video. Expose them. Out them. Name them. They need to be made into pariahs where decent people gather. We cannot allow them to terrorize us. Eyes open. Phones on.

AOC: We need to be talking about ICE agents and the cowardly policy of covering their faces — and, in many cases, their identification… The idea that we’re going to allow a paramilitary force to bloom, one that isn’t accountable to the Constitution… we’ve got another thing coming.

Sacking or disciplining an employee for expressing a political opinion can breach anti-discrimination laws. Organisations lobbying for that sort of outcome may also be acting unlawfully.

This is why we should never let up on pushing the ALP. UK labour is an absolute warning for how bad a notionally “progressive” party can be when it is captured by centrist (conservative) voices.

Israel will never be able to scrub away the stain of the genocide it’s is committing. Generations will pass and Israel will still be known as the nation that rejoiced in the killing of babies and children.

Scenes are repeating across the United States, passersby and local residents confront & resist Trump's ICE regime troops as they’re spotted kidnapping their neighbours. The regime continues its campaign of ethnic cleansing, appearing at homes and businesses masked and without warrants. #3E #StopICE

I mean, if this isn't fascism then what is it?

It’s really striking how irregular the bands of mostly men conducting federal immigration enforcement are. They seem to have no particular uniform, they wear a variety of different agency initials on their tactical vests, or none at all, they’re inconsistent about displaying a badge…

If you have to repeatedly break the law to arrest those you claim have broken the law, you’re not enforcing the law. ICE has morphed into a terrorizing Gestapo-like goon squad. They must be held accountable.

Some great news for Canadians! 🇨🇦 Statistics Canada reports exports to the US are down but they are up substantially internationally to many other countries. Canada is winning and doing a great job diversifying and this will improve under PM Carney’s leadership! #CanadaStrong #USDemocracy

Just confirming everyone has the delicious information that Labor has elected more women MPs than Liberals have elected all MPs. Yes, you read that right ❤️

Nobel Prize winning science.

Brutally accurate takedown of The Thug. Take the two minutes to read this as a palate cleanser before we can all happily forget the existence of Peter Dutton

"A research project in Australia has shown a 39% decrease in plastic waste on beaches over the past ten years. The researchers also found 16 percent more places where there was no trash at all." Good news, let's keep going #Auspol

FYI - El Salvador is changing their policy in regards to people deported by the US. They now need proof of due process. The UN is involved now and they are investigating the US and El Salvador for human trafficking. www.facebook.com/share/r/16c7... www.ohchr.org/en/press-rel...

Fascinated to see who the Libs choose as next leader. Will it be the woman who added an extra letter to her name for numerology reasons, the man who once described Europe as a ‘country’, or the man who proposed taxing a black market product. They really are spoilt for choice

My great uncle was lynched after coming home from WWI because he went to town & wanted a drink and they refused to serve him— a VET who just fought for this country After missing for hours my granddaddy found him hanging from a tree THATS why I protect my peace Every time I shine it’s for THEM

Australia re-elects Anthony Albanese as Labor rides anti-Trump wave to seal crushing win

When famously squaring off with President Donald Trump over education funding, Mills said she would see Trump in court. She did just that, and on Friday she won a settlement for her state, for the kids and for people everywhere who needed to see a certain asshole bully get punched right in the eye.

Trump was too chickenshit to serve in the military so he's getting rid of Veteran's Day and making the Army's birthday about him and throwing himself a parade? Sounds about right.

Well done South Australia ~ every metropolitan seat in the hands of Labor 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 #auspol #ausvotes2025

Bolt: Am I out of touch? No, it's the Australian electorate who are wrong www.heraldsun.com.au/news/opinion...

TRUMPISM REJECTED IN AUSTRALIA Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has been re-elected as his Labor Party surged to victory and is projected to form a majority government. In a historic first, opposition leader Peter Dutton—often likened to Donald Trump—lost his own seat of Dickson.

I think a lot of the swing to Labor in Tasmania can be attributed to dissatisfaction with the state Liberal government’s pushing of the Stadium and their mishandling of the Port of Devonport Ferry Terminal.

First Germany, then Canada, and now Australia. Antifascists are making a global comeback.

My first Aussie election on Blue sky and you've all delivered beyond my expectations. Thank you #auspol

Seems that parties that confront the libertarian right-wing pro Trump agenda win elections. Someone tell Keir Starmer www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/ce...
