Old lefty chant: When the FBI is under attack What do we do? Stand up to get a better look Maybe crack open a beer.

Oh no are they sullying the good name of J Edgar Hoover’s communist hunting squad gasp

Doc Neeson's family has condemned the National Socialist Network's hijacking of the classic The Angel's song "Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again." Link to post: www.facebook.com/615415007/po...

What we need is less attention on salacious neo-Nazi media stunts and more on their cult-like child grooming, child recruitment and coercive control tactics. We need to be better informed about what's really going on with the NSN. read my new article: independentaustralia.net/politics/pol...

Australia’s national corruption watchdog will investigate six individuals for their involvement in the #Robodebt scandal after its initial decision not to do so was reversed by an independent expert. Read more: ia.acs.org.au/article/2025...

OFF // AXIS are playing the Yorkshire Stingo this Saturday Feb 22 with the addition of myself getting up to do lead vocals for exactly one song. I am very excited. To be asked to get onstage with such a powerhouse band is insane. Doors open at 4pm. Don't come, I'd hate that. Yuck.

So far the hashtag resistance is doing what they're famous for: being huffy at lefties but never taking their tantrums anywhere near putting anything on the line. Not their careers, not their bodies. Worthless people.

Science Win! This AI video of a dog eating spaghetti uses the same amount of power as Haiti!

One interesting objection to this is basically, "Big Pharma won't let this happen." I do doubt RFK will get his massive labor camps. But stigmatizing even mild disability is serious. As I note in passing, disabled people are being targeted the federal worker purge. www.salon.com/2025/02/19/r...

So many US gov workers quitting rather than comply with Musk's nonsense. Could have used that energy a year ago when Biden was committing genocide, but here we are and the USA can eat shit and die. Fuck. You.

When JD Vance can go to Dachau and immediately follow it by all but endorsing the far-right, Holocaust revisionist AfD, and Marco Rubio can go to Yad Vashem and immediately follow it by defending Vance's support for the AfD, we need to ask big questions about what Holocaust remembrance is even for.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s letter to the Tasmanian salmon industry, promising new federal environmental laws to protect the foreign-owned businesses, sets a dangerous precedent and undermines government process. Media release from @browne90.bsky.social and @eloise-carr.bsky.social.

Have been thinking a bit about how legacy media and journalism are entirely incapable of even beginning to grapple with a situation about which they can never plainly state the simple reality, which is pretty much

🚨 Palestinian Ministry of Health: — Daily statistical report for the number of martyrs and injured as a result of the "israeli" aggression against the Gaza Strip 7 martyrs (6 martyrs recovered and one new martyr) and 13 injuries have arrived at hospitals in Gaza during the past 24 hours.

Arts Minister Tony Burke made some remarks earlier this week about Creative Australia’s decision to ditch Lebanese Australian artist Khaled Sabsabi as the pick for the 61st Venice Biennale. They didn’t get much coverage but I can’t get them out of my head. So here you go.

"A climate protester was unarmed and posed no threat when he was hit with “excruciatingly painful” pepper spray by a Victorian police officer who later remarked “they needed that”, a court has heard" These 2019 protests were met with absurd force by police www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Heartbreaking news from the Alexander Maconochie Centre as we mourn the loss of two Aboriginal men in custody just days apart. Howard Hall, 38 & a 73-year-old, both deserve better.

i dunno if people are still following this but Nine papers reports investigators always believed that the caravan might be a set-up by organised crime to look like terrorism. So why did the premier call it terrorism? Presumably he had been briefed. www.smh.com.au/national/nsw...

Miami: An Israeli shot 2 people intending to kill them, believing they were Palestinian, but they were both Israeli. The two who were shot claimed it was an antisemitic attack and in their assertion of such exclaimed “death to Ar/bs.” via: x.com/ireallyhatey...

The ABC article shows why the NSN are so insidious. Not just grooming at-risk young men but luring & entrapping women as young as 15 for the sole purpose of breeding. The dangers of groups like the NSN go beyond harassment & intimidation of minorities. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

Opinion | "Creative Australia has hung Sabsabi and Dagostino out to dry ... its actions reveal an institution ill-equipped to navigate the current political climate, let alone to defend the rights of artists against partisan attack," @beneltham.bsky.social and @catrionamp.bsky.social write.

“The last sixteen months offer ample evidence that, rather than peace, Australia is in pursuit of an alarming sort of quiet. Quiet will do.” Michaela Sahhar on the silencing of Khaled Sabsabi.

Weekly Melbourne protests since October the 7th. Monthly from now on, but ready to snap rally at any time.

Yeah but on the other hand, thru this bold & decisive action, the Creative Australia Board have avoided 'a prolonged and divisive debate about the 2026 selection outcome' amirite. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

Pre-screening of AK's fillum about Robbie Thorpe went so well the premiere then immediately sold out. It's so good, it quite correctly makes Robbie look very cool and good. Here's a Thorpe little tacker proudly flying the flag at the after gathering.

Community Safety Alert If you’re not-white, queer or otherwise marginalised be careful on the streets of Richmond tonight, there’s a neo-Nazi gig “Antichrist Festival” at the Central Club Hotel at 293 Swan Street.

"Wellness farms" in other words, "we won’t treat you, we’ll just turn you into slaves because we deported the ppl who were doing this stuff for us and, we need ppl who’ll do it free." More like camps and shit.
