“I think this says that they will not tolerate us being active participants in our democracy—they want an autocracy,” Emily Feiner told Mother Jones. Meet the 64-year-old retired social worker who went viral after being forcibly removed from her representative's town hall.

Israel has murdered at least 26 Palestinians so far this morning. That includes a dad & his 5 children.

‘An Israeli government minister has vowed that “Gaza will be entirely destroyed” as a result of an Israeli military victory, and that its Palestinian population will “leave in great numbers to third countries”, raising fears of ethnic cleansing in the occupied territory.’

Ethnic cleansing was always the plan — and our government cannot pretend it didn’t know. A statement from the Independent Alliance.

Now that the Australian federal election is over - it’s (fossil fuel) business as usual. (In the meantime, WA’s coral reefs are reeling from global heating). www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...

Pakistan says India’s missile attacks on six locations killed at least eight people and wounded more than 35.

“Estamos quebrando os corpos e as mentes das crianças de Gaza. Estamos fazendo as crianças de Gaza passarem fome. Porque, se não fizermos nada sobre isso, seremos cúmplices do que está acontecendo diante dos nossos olhos” — Michael Ryan, Chefe de Emergências da OMS

A baby girl dies of malnutrition and dehydration in Gaza City after two months of Israeli blockade on the Gaza Strip.

Israel and the U.S. are starving Gaza to death. Israel and the U.S. are starving Gaza to death. Israel and the U.S. are starving Gaza to death. Israel and the U.S. are starving Gaza to death. Israel and the U.S. are starving Gaza to death. Israel and the U.S. are starving Gaza to death.

Freedom Flotilla Coalition demands Israel answer to violations including blockade and ‘bombing of our civilian vessel’.

Antony Green on 730: “In Australia, because of compulsory voting, we see disengagement turn up in just voting for other parties“ Seriously. WTF. Green really has not coped with voters shifting from 2PP. People don’t votes for independents/Greens etc because they are disengaged with politics, FFS

Quite possibly the dumbest thing printed today. Apparently, the age pension is amazing - a couple on it are nearly millionaires!!! (if it was paid in a lump sum and we make a whole stack of assumptions and also we fart through our ears)

Just add another O to Poping, and he is a shoo in.

Far right extremists, inspired by Trump per Whitmer herself, tried to kidnap her. Trump himself later suggested it was a fake plot and mocked it. He called her ‘that woman in Michigan’ and led a crowd that chanted ‘lock her up.’ Today Whitmer hugged him on the tarmac. This is why Dems lose. 🤷🏽‍♂️👇🏽

Of course, there’s no mention of climate change, greenhouse gas emissions, or coral bleaching in Fiji and Australia. www.forbes.com/sites/rogers...

Australia’s bloated universities are plagued with scandal and struggling under the weight of their own poor governance and financial mismanagement. A new paper by The Australia Institute concludes it’s time for a major shake-up in the way they are run.

Australia does not need new gas and coal projects for energy. In fact, most of Australia’s gas & coal is exported. Despite the story that the fossil fuel industry is critical to the Australian economy, it actually contributes very little in terms of revenue & employment. @pollyjhemming.bsky.social

This is hilarious. They’re now going on the offensive against Amazon (again!) after having invited Bezos to sit behind Trump at the inauguration, after Bezos paid tens of millions of dollars for a Melania documentary and contributed to the inauguration fund. ‘Hostile’. Sure.

My takeaway from this: He is so fucked.

In several ways, what Israel is doing to the Palestinians is worse than the Holocaust, but most strikingly is the fact that it’s being live-streamed to the world and still our leaders refuse to stop it, with many actively supporting it How much lower can we fall?

US President Donald Trump wants to use tariffs to finance tax cuts. Most economists remain sceptical. As Trump nears his first 100 days in office for the second time, here’s where the tariff war with China stands ⤵️

“Gen Z has unfavorable view of Israel.” …and thank you for that, Gen Z. 🙏❤️ Former Senator calls for renewed social media control to get Americans to like the Israeli regime again… #FreePalestine 🇺🇸 : www.instagram.com/reel/DI_8WvU... @iamblakeley.bsky.social

“Gaza Genocide on the Ballot as Canadians Head to the Polls” Voters who want to punish the Liberal Party over its Gaza policy but don't want the Conservatives to win feel stuck with no good options in Monday's election, writes Ginella Massa for Zeteo.

Gaza on brink of catastrophe as aid runs out and prices soar, groups warn

Israelis protest against Gaza war with rare outcry over Palestinian casualties

Roma Gaza

One of the most grotesque contrasts in the history of human civilisation.

The leaders of the UK and France intervened to support Zelenskyy against the demonic Trump, who stood there like an idiot, attempting to harass the Ukrainian president on behalf of his masters in Moscow.

When this is over, the Mar-A-Lago trials better make the Nuremberg trials look like a practice run.

Who did this? 😂

THREAD: Gaza is being starved. By Israel. The UN World Food Programme just delivered its last food supplies to Gaza. Gaza is out of food. Because Israel has sealed the borders for more than 7 weeks.

Gary Lineker tells the truth about Gaza - and absolutely humiliates the British media

DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — The World Food Program says its food stocks in Gaza have run out under Israel's nearly 8-week-old blockade.

"They want obedient workers. People who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork and just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly shittier jobs with the lower pay the longer hours the reduced benefits the end of overtime and the vanishing pension" ~George Carlin

Why isn’t Trump in prison then?

When the moment came, Harvard didn’t hedge or flinch—it stood up. A reminder that integrity isn’t complicated, it’s just rare.

Resistance is NOT futile

The main change Trump has done is made a lot of countries realise that the US does not have your back. Would be nice if our major political parties grasped this.

One of the most shocking things I have read for a while: t.co/lg46ijHLDF

They’re praising a man who condemned the genocide they facilitated. Sickening.
