Was just chatting to a random while gaming and had one of the most iconically Australian moments.

Incredible news. The gender critical crowd has been trying to capture EU institutions and so far they've failed. The EU may yet be a safe haven for trans people.

One of the purest examples of a moral panic in our time. A clinic that had years-long waitlists and required an average of 7 appointments before providing transition care smeared and shut down for being reckless.

4 frame comic. A woman with a long purple scarf is waiting for the subway. a street journalist approaches her and asks : miss! do you think we're approaching a moment when the public will recognize that allowing children to be transed was a terrible idea? She replies : considering that with each passing day, the public sees how much of the anti-trans movement was engineered by the wealthy to fuel culture war hate on the back of a vulnerable community, I'd say we owe massive apologies to trans people. just this week, we learned that a decade ago, epstein suggested using trans rights as a wedge issue, and that jk rowling's team was courting him. we also learned that what we were told about the closure of the tavi- stock clinic, the only youth clinic in the u.k. for gender-affirmative care, was nothing but lies. rowling's pal hilary cass forced the clinic to close after reports of 1000 complaints from families. we learned this week that it only received eight over 10 years, mostly about delays. in the meantime, the health dep't has been concealing trans children suicide numbers, which we now know rose dramatically following the closure. The terrible idea was always to scapegoat trans kids.

We owe it to these kids to keep fighting for truth to prevail.

View from a protest at Australian Parliament House showing a Palestinian flag in the foreground and a row of alternating Australian and Israeli flags in the distance.

Seeing the Israeli flag flown above my national Parliament House as the genocidal Herzog is welcomed by our leaders turns my stomach.

I once thought my nation was better than the average. That belief is long gone, but this is a new low.

I was proud to attend the rally today against Herzog's visit to Australia.

Albanese is giving Herzog a red carpet welcome, despite that carpet being made from Palestinian blood. I am disgusted.

Live: Israeli president will be a 'welcomed and honoured' guest, Marles says Isaac Herzog will be a "welcomed and honoured" guest when he comes to Australia, Deputy Prime Minister Richard Marles says. Follow live.

Wtaf?? No, I will not welcome a guy conducting a genocide.

Peter Thiel has been open about this for a long time. Trump is a way to break the republic, which can then be replaced by “free economic zones” with oligarchs as dictators and tech as a taskmaster for helpless humans without any rights. (1/2)

Politics is about choices.

This government is choosing to spend more on tax breaks for landlords than on social housing, homelessness and rent assistance combined.

While you're getting smashed by unlimited rent increases and massive mortgage repayments.

Simultaneously beautiful and chilling.

This appears to be real. What a beautiful example of workplace-led activism.

Cops say potential explosive device thrown into Oz Day crowd WA Police are investigating what they’ve called a ‘very, very serious’ incident at Perth’s Invasion Day rally in which a potential explosive device was thrown into a crowd.

Invasion Day in Perth was targeted with a homemade explosive device yesterday. Aboriginal communities are under threat from neo-Nazis, racists and white supremacists. Yet politicians don't write special laws to combat hatred and violence against them. thewest.com.au/news/perth/i...

Trump could rein in ICE operation as shooting outrage intensifies The Trump administration indicates it could rein in its Minnesota immigration crackdown as public outrage intensifies after a federal agent killed a protester.

While I'm so glad people are finally stepping up against Trump, it is telling that it took the death of a white man.

Not to mention the vilification of him for legally carrying a firearm.

Recognising 26 January as a day of invasion is not about division, but about respect, honesty and connection.

It is about acknowledging the truth that sovereignty was never ceded.

This always was and always will be Aboriginal land.

I'm not a fan of religion in general, but this is a message I can get behind.

Fortune 500 companies that have contracts with ICE:

-Amazon
-AT&T
-Booz Allen Hamilton
-Caci
-Charter Communications
-Comcast
-Dell
-Ecolab
-FedEx
-General Dynamics
-L3Harris
-Motorola
-Thermo Fisher
-UPS

Know who profits from Trump's cruelty.

A reminder to all medieval history nerds: A 'cucking stool' is not the same thing as a 'cuck chair'.

Social movements are strong when the rowdy and the peaceful elements work in solidarity with one another. The myth of the provocateur is spread specifically because it undermines that solidarity.

Forensic analysis of objective video evidence. This is how you serve readers searching for clarity.

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” —George Orwell (1984)

It seems appropriate right now to try to clarify one of the most basic questions America is (or should be) struggling with: What does it mean to be a human being?

The confusion is mounting. Let me share some thoughts. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/what-are-human-beings

Just watched the 2025 Frankenstein film, having finished reading the novel on Monday. My review: It felt like someone read the CliffsNotes version 2 decades ago then wrote the script based on their memory of the novel.

Also, knowing much of the history, ending with a quote from Byron pissed me off.

Just saw a Scientologist in the wild at the post office.

Having worked in mental health non-profits, I can confidently say DO NOT trust them in anything to do with it.

Ahh, yes, it was colonial capitalism all along!

Stop calling it war. These are terrorist attacks being committed by the US government. Every foreign nation should be lining up sanctions.

Remember how appalled we all were in 2022 when Russia completely unprovoked attacked Ukraine? That is what we’re doing tonight with Venezuela. We are the bad guys here. Everyone who supports this is supporting unprovoked murder. Fuck every last one of them
