This ๐Ÿงต.

So many testimonies, so much evidence about systematic torture and brutality by Israel against Palestinian detainees.
Including from Israeli and international human rights groups.

Yet western media largely ignores this, and goes with "The Israeli government says..."

Salmon farm's response to spike in dolphin deaths prompts questioning Tasmanian regulators question major salmon farm operator Huon Aquaculture about the effectiveness of its "predator" nets after a spate of dolphin deaths.

Just Saying ..

You need to step in @australianlabor.bsky.social and close down this cruel and toxic industry

the death and destruction of local wildlife and ecology all to serve the greed of a few is disgusting and a stain on our nation

BIG NEWS: Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva will finally be sworn in as a member of Congress tomorrow.

She is likely to be the 218th vote on the Epstein discharge petition, which would force a full vote to release the Epstein files in their entirety.

He wasn't ashamed to show solidarity with all of the people of New York, either: Wasn't ashamed to talk about unshakeable solidarity with trans people, with racial minorities, with foreigners, with religious minorities, with poor people, with homeless people.

'Difficult reading': Victoria releases report into women's pain A Victorian inquiry has found a dismissive and disrespectful health care system built around "Caucasian male biology" is contributing to poorer outcomes for women and girls.

Well, knock me down with a feather.

"The first inquiry of its kind into women's pain in Australia has found widespread experiences of dismissal, disrespect and inadequate treatment in the health system..." #WomensHealth

There are two types of people that the planet needs fewer of, billionaires and poor people. The ratio of wealth is so one sided that for every billionaire we destroy, thousands of poor people are lifted out of poverty because of it. Win, win. ๐ŸŽ‰

Australian politics 101: Getting the lessons wrong every time If one thing is true for all mainstream political parties, itโ€™s that they will always learn the wrong lessons.

"Weโ€™ll be hearing a lot of Gough Whitlamโ€™s legacy, of Medicare and the fights he had to change Australia. Of the reforms Labor still proudly presents as its legacy" @amyremeikis.bsky.social.

But the Albanese govt has the political courage of custard. #auspol

Doing GenAI image generation is like having Manuel from Fawlty Towers as your artist. He doesnโ€™t understand what youโ€™re saying, he only knows about a quarter of the words youโ€™re using, and most people who interact with him end up very frustrated.

I can think of 747 reasons why they shouldn't. ๐Ÿค”

Justice wins when people rise, organize, unite, and MOVE,TOGETHER. If it can happen in NY, it can happen anywhere: Italy, Germany, UK, everywhere hearts still beat for freedom.
A just, free, and loving world is possible. Let's imagine it today, so we can walk within it tomorrow.

Households to get free electricity because of renewable generation Renewables are the cheapest form of electricity generation, and this is being highlighted by the fact that soon electricity will be free for 3 hours a day.

Renewables are so cheap o we can give them away for free in the middle of the dayโ€ฆfixing our grid will take time and is a big problem, but of all the problems we have, the cost of renewables is not even in the top 10 #climate
