But I’m sure #AUKUS will be just fine!

The number of “charities” in Australia with lavish headquarters, CEOs on $500k salaries and massive PR operations is a national disgrace. Let’s not forget Guide Dog’s Australia’s disgusting support of a political party too. If the org has operating expenses in excess of 20%, IT IS NOT A CHARITY.

The largest protest since the occupation of Palestine —
Hundreds of thousands of Haredim take to the streets, rejecting conscription and backing draft evaders.

The real fracture isn’t at the border…
It’s deep inside Israeli society.

Very cool 😎

“we will rule you forever with an iron fist of suffering” is maybe not the most compelling message any administration has ever had

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

More than 170 US citizens have been held by immigration agents ProPublica uncovered that Americans have been kicked, dragged, and detained for days.

During a press conference, Kristi Noem claimed that ICE has not detained or arrested any US citizens. This isn't true.

The reality is that at least 170 citizens have been held by immigration agents, including two kids with cancer.

An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. It’s a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs.

Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.

Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.

Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

Ken Henry warns ‘conga line of developers’ would try to exploit exemptions in Labor’s proposed nature laws Exclusive: ‘Every project developer is absolutely convinced that their project is in the national interest,’ Australian Climate and Biodiversity Foundation head says

I would argue Labor has intentionally put exemptions in their nature laws. They keep our focus on renewables, while they are in lock step with project devleopers and the fossil fuel industry who care about profits, not conservation!

On the subject of ignoring the will of the voters; how about the fact that the Coalition went to the last election with nuclear power as the core plank of their policy offering and the voters handed them the biggest defeat in their history. The voters don’t want nuclear #auspol

Congrats to mob over there for successfully navigating the colonial minefield and securing a future of sorts as mob.
The grassroots ones that did all the big work won't get any accolades but they are the heroes .

Federal food assistance known as SNAP benefits will run out on Saturday due to the government shutdown. It will impact more than 40 million Americans, many of them working mothers.
Here are some of the stories they are sharing.

Dr Andrew Forrest AO FMG AGM 31Oct2025

While Fortesue is Australia’s 3rd largest tax payer, I’m disgusted with the fossil fuel industries in Australia who have been paying lobbyists to avoid tax while Fortescue has been paying tax - and more than 8% dividends to shareholders

Paraphrasing Dr Andrew Forrest at FMG AGM

It’s funny how it’s apparently a problem that First Nations people are, allegedly, ‘singled out’ for “special treatment” when it comes to positive things (not that we are), but when our Ancestors were singled out for genocide, massacres, slavery and all the bad stuff, the same people don’t care.

Ahh this chat was haunting and beautiful and insightful.

There's a communication blackout in El Fasher, Sudan. But we know what is happening there because a genocidal militia is gleefully publishing snuff videos on social media and bragging about their body counts as they rampage through a major city

Please take a moment to understand the gravity of what is unfolding in Darfur right now.

Good thing, but I hope Charles doesn't become the righteous hero while we all forget his deceitful, adulterous past.

The role of the United States in the dismissal of the Whitlam Government In 1975, Australia lost more than a Prime Minister — it lost its independence. The CIA’s hidden hand in Whitlam’s dismissal still echoes today.

Some good progress this week.

Average wholesale electricity prices fell significantly in the September quarter, helped by a surge in renewable energy production, and the rapid growth of battery storage. This will flow through to retail prices - and is a sign of how our modern grid will work.
