Good on Adam & Tanya for both reminding Australians of our history that Indigenous people have served our country in every war and have a equal right to be recognised on Anzac Day like all other diggers and good on the RSL for backing Welcome to Country too on Anzac Day. #qanda

This plant has installed itself in cracks in the brickwork in our old outdoor laundry. I love how thoughtfully it’s done it. I have no idea what it is, & not, it seems, does Google Lens. But I do enjoy its presence. 😊

Companies! Not too long ago a rainbow sticker indicated your store was a safe place for LGBTQ people. Time to start doing the same specifically for trans people. A little trans flag sticker in your window. I’d make a point to shop there.

If, at the next election, we end up with a minority government, all of our votes will suddenly carry more weight. I think this outcome is likely. I think we should aim to make it happen.

A TWO YEAR OLD. They deported a TWO YEAR OLD. FFS.

Right as Neo-Nazis were interrupting an Indigenous welcome to country with screamed abuse, News Corp ran a massive splash advertisement from a political party that said "SICK OF BEING WELCOMED TO COUNTRY" The Age published a FRONT PAGE AD that said the same. Fucking hell, Australian media.

Check out how the anchors of CBS Evening News ended their broadcast tonight:

The white supremacist who booed at the Welcome to Country ceremony at an Anzac Day service is feeling empowered because the likes of Dutton has made open racism acceptable to these vile nutters. Racist dog whistles are Dutton’s go to for inciting hatred and division. Sooner he’s gone the better.

If we as a nation cannot take care of the most vulnerable simply trying to survive then we have lost all sense of nationhood. Unfortunately my lived experience is the worst offenders are local council and their shit take on what makes community. #AusPol

In 139 of the 147 seats where One Nation is running a candidate, the Coalition's how-to-vote cards preference One Nation second. #auspol

Peter Dutton made a new election ad, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative. #auspol

Self-defence. My @smh cartoon.

This is not the behaviour of a civilised country. And of course the USA no longer qualifies as civilised. What happens when fascism rules.

Barnaby is out there somewhere re-Joycing which will include a large amount of something stronger than juice.

One thing you can guarantee as the new antitrans consensus takes hold across the UK is that there will be absolutely no decline in the prevalence of women being sexually assaulted, and absolutely no increase in the successful prosecution of such assaults.

RFK jr. is starting an Autism registry in the USA that he will get by stealing the information from Private Medical Records. Do you know who also did this? The Nazis.

Another Palestinian journalist has been killed in an Israeli attack on northern Gaza, with local authorities reporting the overall death toll of journalists has now reached 213 since October 2023. Foreign journalists are still not given access. With no witnesses, nothing really happened, did it?

Angus: Well, Donald Trump, I’m going to say this onceβ€”and I might never say it againβ€”I want to thank you. I want to thank you for bringing Canada together. It took a malignant narcissistic slug like you to make us put aside all our differences

And the best way to reduce your tax bill (at least according to the evidence provided by wealthy capitalists) is to increase your income.

Today marks 83 years since the Warsaw ghetto uprising. In the words of Marek Edelman, last surviving leader of the uprising and lifelong anti-zionist: β€œTo be a Jew means always being with the oppressed, never with the oppressors”

A little good news... (Read the whole thread.) @xrglobal.bsky.social @janecaro.bsky.social @janefonda.com

Sounds like me when I woke up yesterday.

Climate 200 broke the two party spell. It changed the nation. To create the change we want we need to back more independents, give the idea of moving away from two parties a chance to mature and work for us. Please don’t let fear send us all back to two parties for another decade. #AusPol
