⚡️Update: 'A brutal strike' — Massive Russian missile and drone attack hits Kyiv, killing 21, injuring at least 134. kyivindependent.com/kyiv-hit-by-... Photo's: State Emergency Service / Telegram

The anti-abortion movement and what it has wrought is more horrifying than any horror movie. It is a rejection of the dignity of life and a mockery of human wellbeing

NEW: The Oklahoma Supreme Court ruled that a 2021 censorship law can't be used to ban teaching about race and gender in Oklahoma's higher education institutions. This is a win for academic freedom and the First Amendment.

Keating on Marles' effort at the Murdochs' "sleazy" conference: "A moment when an Australian Labor Government intellectually ceded Australia to the United States as a platform for the US and by implication, Australia, for military engagement against the Chinese state" johnmenadue.com/post/2025/06...

Need to do much better. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06...

Our rush “back to normal” with respect to the Covid pandemic was driven by economics, not public health Governments needed people to get back to spending money The threat had not passed Capitalism won out over lives Ableism helped sell the comfortable lie that “only the vulnerable” were at risk

As was once practice

#auspol #DitchAUKUS Now, for various reasons, including the advent of King Trump, Israel has declared war on Iran by way of bombs and missiles. (Heck, if you’re getting away with genocide, why not fly a few sorties against the Ayatollah?) Michael Pascoe MWM michaelwest.com.au/george-orwel...

they’ve gone from “clearly uniformed” to “partially uniformed” to “in no way identifiable” in like three weeks

Claiming he "assaulted law enforcement" is so obviously belied by the video, which shows no such thing.

GO GET YOUR FUCKING PASSPORTS

Pro-war, pro-billionaire, pro-surveillance, and pro-repression.

Best part is that Tulsi Gabbard didn't even come forward and publicly oppose anything Trump is doing. Clips from the last time she reported on Iran's lack of nuclear capabilities went viral online and that's all it took

ICE is the moral equivalent of Iran's Revolutionary Guards & Nazi Germany's SS. Stephen Miller is a toxic mediocore Heinrich Himmler wannabe. Utah Senator Mike Lee is an assclown who gets orgasms from making tasteless jokes about two murders. In other news, Generalissimo Francisco is still dead.

“Estados Unidos de Israel”, charge de Carlos Latuff para o #BrasildeFato

The use of photos of Adriana Smith heavily pregnant that have featured in almost all media about this is so gravely misleading that it's a story in itself. These pictures are from her first pregnancy. She died before she was far enough along to do a glowing smiling maternity shoot for baby Chance.

"Israeli troops have killed at least 70 Palestinians and wounded hundreds as they sought aid in Gaza, firing at them with tank shells, machine guns and drones. Those casualties are among the 89 Palestinians killed in attacks across the besieged enclave since dawn." www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/6/...

What in the wild, wild west would give the USA the authority to assassinate the leader of another country they are not at war with!?! apnews.com/live/donald-...

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles

What's happening to libraries in Florida should frighten everyone. Spurred on by Moms For Liberty, the AG is threatening librarians with felonies for stocking LGBTQ+ books and overruling established processes for removing "harmful" material. It's a full on censorship campaign by the government.

And the person who turned up to support him with no notice is the Muslim dude who have cross endorsed each other and who the msm has been going into overtime to cast him as antisemitic

Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani is now here calling for the release of Lander (his fellow mayoral candidate)

The U.S. is helping Israel wage war on Iran over its nuclear program. But U.S. intelligence says Iran isn't building a bomb.

Shirly Guardado, the wife of Army Sergeant Ayssac Correa, was taken into custody in March in the parking lot of her Houston workplace.

The Mesa County Sheriff’s Office said that it had shared information on Signal leading to an ICE arrest of a Utah college student, which unintentionally violated a state law prohibiting cooperation between local law enforcement and federal immigration authorities. By @chasewoodruff.bsky.social

Sen. Padilla speaks on the Senate floor for the first time since being forcibly removed from DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s Los Angeles press conference. Padilla emotionally recounts his experience, asking, “what will a city already on edge… think when they see their U.S. senator being handcuffed?”

Jailed #HongKong activist Joshua Wong faces new foreign collusion charges Wong's latest charge was viewed as a disturbing sign of Hong Kong’s deteriorating human rights. He could face a maximum life sentence, and the case’s next hearing will be on Aug. 8.

New York City mayoral candidate Brad Lander was dragged from the hallways of a Lower Manhattan immigration court and detained by masked ICE agents. Lander and his staff can be heard repeatedly asking for a judicial warrant. ICE did not oblige. https://trib.al/RXDWywk

1/ As divorce rates soared in the late 1970s, there was a consensus, supported by limited data, that fathers who had lost custody of their children were kidnapping them and hiding them abroad, leaving mothers with no means of redress.

With the assassination of longtime State Representative and former Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman, the state lost a staunch gun reform advocate. Advocates and lawmakers spoke to The Trace about Hortman’s role in passing legislation to curb violence. thetr.ac/1WxXN

My mother died whilst still waiting for a Home care package. It made the end of her life much harder than it needed to be & put a huge strain on my dad. This needs fixing urgently.

On Friday, we protested outside Parliament to oppose the assisted dying bill. We will do the same this Friday, and we need you to join us! Our 3 key messages: ❗️Not now ❗️Not this way ❗️Assist us to live before you assist us to die Photos: Natasha Hurst

It took me more than five decades to be correctly diagnosed with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. That was 3 years ago. I am still struggling to find ANY doctor who has even heard of it, and i search daily. Tiktok has improved my care more than any doctor, and that’s terrifying & maddening !

If the United States is preparing to join a direct attack on Tehran, that is madness. If we aren’t, publicly signalling that we are likely to is also madness.

Britain's most comically illiterate headmistress strikes again. I mean... How could one find opportunities to discuss racism, in the context of Othello and The Merchant of Venice, or sexism, while teaching The Taming of The Shrew and Twelfth Night?

NEW from LCRW: Oregon’s #NOKINGS protests saw at times drastic police intervention. Portland in particular faced riot munitions from DHS leftcoastrightwatch.org/articles/ore...

Good Law Project are supporting Trans+ Solidarity Alliance in their Mass Lobby on the 25th June (1-4pm) - taking place inside Parliament. Don't worry if you don't hear from your MP, come along anyway, and TSA will try and arrange you a meeting! Share this widely!! Steps and links below:

The Trump administration has imposed sanctions on Addameer, a leading Palestinian prisoner rights group, and five other charities for alleged links to Palestinian political factions deemed by the U.S. and Israel as "terrorist organizations." mondoweiss.net/2025/06/trum...

The infusion made me sicker than I was before. Coughing my lungs out. Super tired. 😵‍💫🤒🥱 They said it takes about 3 days to recover. Wish me luck.

This needs to be protected! "The Netherlands has long prided itself on its unique system of Kraamzorg (maternity care), whereby a maternity care assistant comes to a new family’s home for eight days after a baby’s birth, caring for mother and infant." www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

WE HAVE QUESTIONS… This is a kidnapping. No uniform, no badge, civilian car. Who are they? ICE? Sanctioned bounty hunters? Either way, they’re grabbing people without warrants. How often is this happening, and why aren’t more people talking about it? Congress?
