New, amazing footage of 90,000 people on Sydney Harbour Bridge, marching to end the genocide in Gaza.

A protest the city and New South Wales authorities did NOT want to happen.

Why is the Trump administration detaining green card holders without cause, blocking legal counsel, and refusing to tell families where they are?

Will Kim has lived here since he was five. He’s getting his PhD, researching a Lyme disease vaccine at Texas A&Mβ€”and ICE disappeared him at SFO.

When it comes down to majority of the big donors aligned with Democrats and progressive establishment simply don’t get what we are up against- and unfortunately the power of money dictates the cowardly behavior in current establishment dominated by grifters and career climbers.

Detainees at Florida’s β€œAlligator Alcatraz” are on a hunger strike over what they call inhumane, dangerous conditions.

Some haven’t eaten in 10 days. One of them, Pedro HernΓ‘ndez, was hospitalized and still refuses food until they are treated with dignity.

Exclusive | Ex-Trump prosecutor Jack Smith under investigation by Office of Special Counsel after claims of playing politics: β€˜No one is above the law’ β€œJack Smith’s actions were clearly driven to hurt President Trump’s election, and Smith should be held fully accountable,” said Senate Intelligence Committee chair Sen Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) in …

A reminder that Dems went out of their way to NOT politicize their prosecutions of Trump. Garland dragged his feet. Biden kept his distance. And then they appointed a special counsel to look independent.

All a waste of time. You can never appease the GOP. So why do Dems keep trying? ARGHGGHG.

I'm so tired of hearing that we need to "teach our students how to use AI" when the thing they most need to use it is a critical-thinking skill set that can only be acquired by NOT using it. I'm tired of hearing that it's inevitable. I'm tired.

Barclays follows HSBC in exit from banking industry’s net zero alliance US banks have already pulled out of NZBA, the UN environment programme’s finance initiative

Barclays follows HSBC in exit from banking industry’s net zero alliance.

They all support Trumpism and chase profits whilst humanity and planet earth face crisis.

Can't expect banks to voluntarily accept social responsibility, it must be imposed by law.

The main difference is that here the cops use chemical warfare and "less lethal" munitions and bootlickers keep defending their use. But we can learn from this discipline and courage nonetheless.

This is where ANH writing is a little goofy. Bueracracy is housed in the executive. A senate writes laws & does oversight & provides democratic legitimacy. Palpatine's emerg. powers gave purse/unlimited exec power. Gov lost was oversight against abuses & democratic legitimacy.

The loss of Palpatine at Endor alongside the Executor flagship yanked the rug out from under them. Thrawn says thereafter the fleet fought like cadets, and the military viewed the loss of the Executor as the major loss there.

Heir to the Empire series spells out how things played out. Palpatine was essentially using battle meditation to coordinate fleet actions in major engagements, and the fleet achieved terrifying lethality in coordinated action

the imperial fleet was the core imperial asset. The Death Star was viewed as an outrageous diversion driven purely by the Emperor's desires. They operated like a totalitarian state, no democratic body. Yavin treated like a major terror attack to justify tightening thrle imperial fist

These people are out of control.

my view is that everyone should be able to earn a living wage doing whatever it is they like. if you love working in a bookshop, you should be able to live a comfortable life doing so. if you loving being a barista, the same. and if you want to do more traditional blue collar work, that’s cool too!
