Remember all those platitudes after the child abuse Royal Commission about how we as a society were going to treat victim-survivors of institutional abuse better? Read Rick Morton in The Saturday Paper today. I shake my head in utter disbelief. www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/law-cri...

Everything about this sucks but I can't quite get over the codename being UNDERCOVERJEW then this

Australian projects tackling climate change and poverty in Indo-Pacific ‘in limbo’ after Trump halts USAid

A huge decision from Judge Amir Ali, meticulously reasoned and utterly scathing, finding that Trump’s foreign aid freeze is almost certainly an illegal and arbitrary abuse of power. He orders the immediate restoration of all international assistance. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

This is where you go to tell the National Park Service to restore the word "transgender" in its entry on the Stonewall monument. (Scroll down.)

My MIL cries when she tells me about the stories of partition when she was forced to leave and babies and children were murdered on trains in front of her and should I keep going

Ooo this is a good one ☺️

The best way to increase the efficiency of government agencies is competition, not budget cuts. The Center for Disease Control should have to compete with a Center For Making Diseases Worse

Niki Savva reveals that Peter Dutton is too scared “to appear with Anika Wells” on the Today show’s political segment. “He said that he wants only Richard Marles” “Surely that couldn’t be bcoz he’s afraid to front up with a woman…?”💥🔥🤣#ABCInsiders

Remember when Peter Dutton was part of the government that covered up the rape of a young Liberal staffer because there was an election looming? I do. #auspol

if you’re not trans & don’t know about the cass review, when this report comes out, it will look very much like the cass review. the NYT will treat it as legitimate. i know this because they already did it with the cass review & said it should be the new model for america. tap the thread to learn.

My mum's been volunteering in Nicolette Boele's campaign in Bradfield. She searched her up on Deep Seek which has mis/disinformation about Nicolette having stood for the Greens. Never happened.

It’s shocking how few people know about the #Tuberculosis outbreak in Kansas. Why? Because the CDC can’t issue notifications to alert healthcare workers about it. #PublicHealth

I wish someone told me that running a meme factory is mostly dealing with lawyers

Jim Acosta announces on air that he's leaving CNN and says, "it is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant ... don't give in to the lies."

Opinion | "Anthony’s predictable response to my two-word statement has reinforced just how poisonous Murdoch’s grip still is on the Western world," writes Grace Tame. Read her article for Crikey here: www.crikey.com.au/2025/01/29/g...

this is where vigorously enforcing our existing laws against republicans openly breaking them over the last several decades would have come in handy

I would say it's not smart to call a year a breakthrough year for CCS at the start rather than the end of the year, given how consistently CCS fails to have breakthrough years www.woodmac.com/blogs/the-ed...

Standard MSM headline that Palestinians released are “prisoners”, implying convicted of crimes. In reality, many, including children, have been held under “administrative detention”; an Israeli euphemism for detained indefinitely without charge. In short - hostages. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-01...

Does this remind you of anything?

Lunchtime. My @smh @theage cartoon.

The Horniman Natural History Gallery features this stunning walrus. It was transported to England, purchased in 1886. There, the taxidermists, having never seen one in the wild, stuffed it until the wrinkles smoothed out. This is a fully inflated walrus, my friends. MAXIMUM WALRUS. (📷: Tom Natt)

Delicate. My @smh @theage cartoon.

Putting people in jail before they are convicted is wildly popular. But I continue to hold the insane belief that we should generally only punish people after a finding of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, and when we do detain pretrial, it should be on a very short clock.

cartoon from 8 years ago, which I could have just rerun next week. obviously trump did not manage to gut the ACA but it wasn't for lack of trying.

Misinformation isn't random - it's strategic. 🧵 In the first cross-national comparative study, we examine 32M tweets from politicians. We find that misinformation is not a general condition: it is driven by populist radical right parties. with @julianachueri.bsky.social doi.org/10.1177/1940...
