The Trump regime is shooting priests with pepper balls.

Hey @albomp.bsky.social - "shared values"?

So we give up what remains of our national sovereignty, and $370 billion for subs that won't arrive?

Time to rethink foreign policy, before we are dragged down with these dangerous clowns. #auspol

The fact Wong thinks she can just snark her way out of this is a sign of how normalised the relationships between politicians and lobbyists have become.

Like, of course the PM shouldn't be president of a registered lobby group that sells corporate members access to politicians? No shit??

A beautiful piece, Sarah, and must have been so hard to write.

That's just sort of thing that antifa would say.
If they existed.

Fabulous news, Marie. 💥🙌🍾🎉

What??? #auspol > overland.org.au/2025/10/aust...

When Sir Humphrey Appleby did this, he was much better at it. #auspol #Estimates

"We were always fractured, questioning, complex – that was our strength. The danger was never difference; the danger was the oppression that demanded silence, that forbade questions, until even love could no longer be spoken."

Must read from @sarahschwartz.bsky.social - for Jews and for all of us.

Reminder: Australia's only emissions reduction legislation - the safeguard mechanism - allows for unlimited use of offsets instead of requiring genuine cuts from polluters

The Albanese government is not only trying to clamp down even harder on transparency and accountability.

They are lying to make it happen. #auspol

MAGA’s #WarOnWomen is beyond a national crisis.

Trump’s America.

No, there is no civil war, yet.
But the Sundowning Stalin is doing his best to start it.

YouTube video by Al Jazeera English With Gaza in ruins, will US media name the crime? | The Take

"Despite a UN inquiry and multiple human rights organizations finding that #Israel is committing genocide in #Gaza, Western news outlets are still reluctant to use the term.

...at least 65,000 Palestinians dead, will they change their tune on Israel?"

#Palestine

"Police argue expected number of Palestine protesters at Sunday rally poses significant safety concern"

Could the NSW Police bother to please get themselves a new script writer? They said the same fucking thing about the Sydney Harbour Bridge protest. FFS. #auspol #FreePalestine

But I doubt that Stephen Miller really cares how he sounds to those of us who pick up on his stupidity.
He lies for a living.

The least we can do is to ensure that Jane Goodall's dying wish is fulfilled.

YouTube video by MSNBC ‘Trump’s lawyer, not America’s’: Hayes BLASTS Bondi as worst AG in modern history

"It's hard to come up with someone else who's done more damage to the Department of Justice, to the rule of law and the constitutional order in such a short time," says Chris Hayes on Trump Attorney General Pam Bondi.

As if to prove a point, leaked Qantas group chats reveal a gross problem

Fresh from being crowned Crikey's inaugural worst company of the year, leaked group chats from Qantas staff reveal a new "shitty" problem for the beleagured airline.

Israel has failed to foresee the consequences of pursuing a genocide, says Antoun Issa @deepcutnews.bsky.social.

Or as @thetraecrowder.bsky.social noted:

"In their minds, these guys are starring in an early 1990s Steven Seagal movie.
But in reality, it's a 2020s Steven Seagal move; you know, the ones where he's fat and sucks and everything's dumb about it all."

I wouldn’t advise anyone in Portland to walk your dog near this building.

Scoop: OpenAI has signed its first ever Australia government contract, quietly inking a deal with Treasury amid the ChatGPT-maker's charm offensive on policymakers.

This modest contract is an ideal foothold into future, more lucrative deals, according to one firm's analysis.

"there is a genocide *happening* in Gaza" ??

Seems that the passive voice is happening in this polling question.

On Trump Deploying Troops to More Cities to Protect ICE from Antifa (Or Whatever)

It's wild how Americans don't know how bad their healthcare is compared to every other western nation.

"President Donald Trump’s retribution jamboree is being stalled out by career Justice Department prosecutors worried about stupid things like 'the law' and 'ethics'.”

Laura Rodriguez, on Twitter: A federal agent points a weapon at a woman who was recording them. Jess, a U.S. citizen and member of a neighborhood patrol team that documents and shares ICE activity across the city, was filming when the incident occurred earlier today in the Berwyn area.

I fear if things don’t change right now, this image is going to come back to haunt us
