Democrats and centrist media keep laundering this panic into ‘reasonable concerns’ but the anti-trans movement is overwhelmingly comprised of bigoted loser freaks. We’re missing a huge opportunity to make this a winning issue by pointing that out.

Pretty much the History of Australia since 1788 in 4 bullet points.

This doesn't even really make ideological or tactical sense to me. For a government that is increasingly playing up adaptation / resilience as an alternative to mitigation, it would make sense to release this report?

I guess they don't want the consequences of mitigation failure made too clear?

Who would be THIS dumb? 🙋 🤦Two words we need to learn how to say to corporate tax bludgers. What do you reckon they are?

Might be time to start actually reporting him as acting as an authoritarian dictator rather than meekly pretending a democracy still exists

So the same guy who insists he couldn’t activate the National Guard in D.C. on January 6, 2021 suddenly has the power to activate it today?

How 3M Discovered, Then Concealed, the Dangers of Forever Chemicals The company found its own toxic compounds in human blood—and kept selling them.

How did 3M’s “forever chemicals” end up in all of us? The inside story of the corporate scientists who discovered—then helped to conceal—the dangers of its chemicals.

This Weekend, We Saw the UK Descend Into Censorship, Brutality, and Authoritarianism Keir Starmer and Yvette Cooper's government arrested elderly protesters, a blind man using a wheelchair, and others – all in the name of providing diplomatic cover for a genocidal regime.

American corporations are on pace to spend $1.1 trillion on stock buybacks in 2025, an all-time high.

Buybacks don't create more jobs, increase wages, or grow the economy — but they do help juice CEO pay that's often tied to stock performance.

Nothing trickles down to workers.

Labor asks Deloitte to design universal childcare system as PM eyes political legacy Exclusive: Government could redirect billions in existing spending on the childcare subsidy and introduce a daily flat fee for families

Genuinely, though, why is this outsourced to Deloitte?

Didn’t Labor commit to stopping the consultancy outsourcing bonanza?

And isn’t this sort of your basic bread and butter public service task?

"Recognition without sanctions is an empty gesture. It will not stop the bombs, the siege, or the starvation."

Big polluters are using loopholes in Australia’s key climate policy to cause major environmental damage revealed by new analysis from the Australia Institute.

Please help share the important work of these folks - the plastics treaty negotiations are at a critical juncture and they're up against very powerful forces --->>>

Recognition is completely meaningless while Australia continues to trade, to supply arms, to have diplomatic relations and to diplomatically protect and encourage other states to normalise relations with the very state that is committing these atrocities. Palestinian rights are not to be gifted by western states. They are not dependent on negotiation with or behaviour or approval of their colonial oppressors.

Dear PM @albomp.bsky.social
Childcare advice from Deloitte? Mate! Your legacy has already been written: cowardly complicity in a genocide, as Australia profits from "non-lethal" arms sales. You're a disaster and a disgusting disappointment. #auspol #IsraeliWarCrimes #GazaGenocide

Then they complain about immigration and asylum seekers fleeing the places they're fucking up.

Genuinely incredible that she's saying this with 2 accused rapists on either side of her

The whole point of the Safeguard Mechanism, Australia's key climate policy, is to limit emissions.

Instead, it's HELPING fossil fuel companies pollute.

It’s even giving them money!

Over 18,500 arrested in West Bank since Israel’s war on Gaza began

Western media's attention's still super-glued to Israeli hostages, while lack of coverage of Palestinian men women & children held in Military prisons & concentration camps for no reason, despicable. It also represents broad scale failure to report accurately

The lethal legacy of Aukus nuclear submarines will remain for millennia – and there’s no plan to deal with it Australia’s future nuclear submarines will produce highly radioactive waste, and allies in the UK and the US still don’t have a safe place to store their own

Along with nuclear submarines, Australia has signed up for tonnes of highly enriched nuclear waste that we have no current plans or way to safely store www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

‘A deadly scheme’: Palestinians face indiscriminate gunfire at food sites Investigation based on visual evidence, bullets, medical records and testimony appears to show sustained pattern of Israeli shootings

"a sustained Israeli pattern of firing on Palestinians seeking food."

For your government to act on daily Israeli war crimes, have we reached a red line yet, @albomp.bsky.social ?

Do you even have one? #GazaGenocide #auspol

Debating Israel Supporters Is Pointless, Because They Don't Care About Facts Or Morality Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley):

Debating Israel Supporters Is Pointless, Because They Don't Care About Facts Or Morality

Their goal is never to communicate or to have a conversation, it’s to advance the information interests of a genocidal apartheid state.
www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/debating-i...

A Guardian live news scroll-feed showing two stories. One is Australian defence minister petulantly saying we don't sell weapons to Israel (we do sell it components of weapons) and then a story saying an extensive investigation shows Israel has deliberately and consistently murdered Palestinians desperate for food, at aid stations.

Sullen govt spokesfolk claim that Australian firms don't sell weapons to Israel (just things used in weapons or otherwise part of genocide). Depraved. The citizens of Australia are disgusted by evasive nonsense about 'supply chains'. Work it out. Stop supplying any components that may go to Israel.

How did we become a country, dominated by a hollow political class, so vacuous in speech & thought?
Marles the epitome of this dearth of ideas, ethics & talent, promoted so far above his merit - astonishingly Deputy PM.
We can only go backwards with such a gutless crew, controlled from the back room

Introduced on 24 July 2025 and passing through the lower house on 30 July 2025, the Defence Housing Australia Amendment Bill 2025 seeks to expand the operations of state enterprise Defence Housing Australia (DHA), so that it can “provide housing for foreign exchange and visiting military personnel”.

Debating dickheads doesn’t ‘expose them’, it empowers them - The Shot Ultimately, if debating dickheads worked, we wouldn’t be in a situation where dickheads are making the world a worse place.

Excellent piece by John Delmenico on @theshot.net.au today.

Yep. We’ve seen this play out many times before:

1: Cops say “we’re helpless; we need more powers to stop the Nazi marches”

2: Politicians gleefully create new laws to empower cops

3: These new powers are overwhelmingly used against left wing protests and activists

4: Rinse and repeat

‘Nazis don’t belong in this country’: Victorian premier scathing over masked march by ‘goons’ in Melbourne CBD Man allegedly assaulted after confronting group of about 100 people on march to Flagstaff Gardens early on Saturday

So where were the police in helmets and shields .... you know ... like those the previous week displayed for the Palestinian peace march.

#ZionistSnake strikes our politicians yet again
