The electorate voted for a senate that has a majority of ALP and Greens.

Murray Watt and the ALP are choosing instead to write laws that will please the LNP and mining companies.

This is not the outcome a majority of Australians voted for.

The ALP didn't bother negotiating with the Libs when it changed IR laws, but now apparently it needs LNP support for environmental protection changes.

When govts want to do something, they do it.
When they don't, they use bipartisanship as the excuse.

No one here should fall for it

Price of freedom 📈

"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7."

@timmiller.bsky.social talked to a veteran who ICE wrongly detained and brutalized

Stephen Miller said last year this was the plan. They said it out loud. Some of us highlighted his remarks at the time and warned how dangerous they were. Most of the media missed them and/or moved on from them. It’s happening:

Free Greta Thunberg and the rest of the illegally detained flotilla activists.

Could the National Press Club be less embarrassing and less complicit in the genocide of Palestine/the West's decline into overt fascism, pretty, pretty, pretty please? 🙏 Cancelling Chris Hedges' talk on the betrayal of Palestinian journalists only proves his point. Truly, truly pathetic

So the National Press Club - an association of journalists - doesn't wanna talk about all the journalists being deliberately targeted and murdered during a genocide because . . . it might upset the people that are targeting and murdering the journalists who were reporting on a genocide?

Umm, WTF?

Real post on another network:

Just 2 gun rights advocates sitting behind a wall of bulletproof glass while enjoying a memorial for a gun rights advocate who got murdered by a gun.

Matthew McConaughey says he wants a private LLM, fed only with his books, notes, journals, and aspirations, so he can ask it questions and get answers based solely on that information, without any outside influence.

this exists it is called thinking

“Illegal”

So Kimmel gets fired for supposedly misidentifying the shooter as MAGA (though that’s not quite what he said.)

When do all the Fox hosts who misidentified the shooter as transgender get fired then?

Charlie Kirk died in the America he wanted I mourn the loss of human life. I feel compassion, empathy and grief at an inexcusable killing. But I find nothing to lionise in his legacy.

"Kirk represented everything we should be pushing back against. And if you are worried that saying so will trigger more violence, and a further slide into authoritarianism, then you have already ceded the space."

@amyremeikis.bsky.social bang on as always:

Given this is making some waves - here is the piece and you can judge for yourself.

(I'm fine, there are no issues - right wing ecosystem just doing what right wing ecosystem does).

Take care of you - it's rough out there! Ax

A U.S. Citizen Detained by ICE for Three Days Tells His Story A conversation with George Retes, an Army veteran swept up in a California raid

Here’s a story that’s becoming all too common: federal immigration agents using racial and ethnic profiling as a rationale for stopping, questioning and detaining U.S. citizens who they suspect are undocumented.

“Practicing politics the right way: memoriam for one of the great bad-faith actors of our time”

The Republican-led US government is throwing its full weight, at the federal and state levels, behind punishing teachers, soldiers, or immigrants for their speech about the killing of a conservative pundit.

It's as absurd and laughable as it is dangerous and dystiopian.

For a political and media establishment that wouldn’t shut the fuck up about social cohesion for the past two years, there’s not been much commentary on Zionists shouting “Go back to Lakemba” at Bondi. In fact, both Teal and Liberal MPs have instead attacked those who were the victims of the abuse.

So our military just bombed a boat in international waters and extrajudicially killed suspected drug traffickers without so much as a conversation, let alone a trial?
Then posted it on social media?

And we’re all supposed to just trust their account?

Venom is an example of a villain who evolved into a hero because he was popular with readers and writers decided to rehabilitate him. By contrast, Magneto evolved into a hero because every decade since Reagan it's harder and harder to pretend he's wrong

I can’t find the lie in this.

The state leader of White Australia, a neo Nazi group, speaking at the March for Australia Rally in Sydney

If Nazis are speaking at your rally...

The media blamed pro-Palestine protesters for firebombings. Will they apologise? Every major arson attack targeting a synagogue is now alleged to have been perpetrated by organised criminals, or Iran. So why were protestors blamed?

Every single publicised arson attack on a synagogue has now been linked to criminal gangs and/or Iran.

You’d imagine this would be front page news, considering how the media has sought to blame pro-Palestine protestors for two years.

But it’s nowhere.

Imagine if our authorities showed such tenacity pursuing the ones who DID the corruption.

Lol hello NACC u still there?

Fair call. So now we know that the antisemitic attacks in Australia have come from two sources: a foreign regime and organised crime, both acting opportunistically to foment exactly the moral panic we've been enduring. If only a little circumspection had been exercised by our governments and media.

Walmart spent $35.3B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024, enough to give each of its 2.2M employees annual bonuses of $2,719.

Last year, Walmart CEO Doug McMillon pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay of just $29,469.

Textbook corporate greed.
