State Library proposes major cuts to staff and services The library plans halve the number of reference librarians it employs and reduce the number of computers available for public use in a move that has outraged staff.

#Victorians! Our State Library is being trashed by a series of executives with no experience or understanding of public collections. Many hired as 'temps' without full process, who then caused scandals & exodus of specialist & librarian staff: a full wreck looms. www.theage.com.au/national/vic...

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.

Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

Why does everyone keep calling it β€œThe Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating β€œThe Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called β€œThe Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called β€œThe Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

After Jacinta Price jumped from the National to Liberal party room, I am enjoying watching David Littleproud on 7:30 keep saying, "Price is not my problem, she's Ley's problem, ask Sussan."

Six months ago, the US economy was stable.
NATO was united.
Our personal data was secure.
And our military bases weren’t under attack.
Maybe Jake Tapper could write a book about that.

Dutton’s white Australian dream It is now clear that Peter Dutton has no genuine interest in recognising Australia’s Indigenous heritage, or respecting its significance as the basis of our multicultural, multi-religious society. Nor...

β€œPeter Dutton’s passion and commitment in condemning anti-Semitism is laudable, yet a similar attitude is lacking in relation to Indigenous disadvantage. This is not the approach of a strong leader," writes John Hewson. "This is the work of a divisive opportunist.”

It’s an important day for journalists writing about Dutton’s nuclear costings πŸ’©. Today is the day you show if you’re a:
πŸ‘‰πŸ»propagandist for fossil fuels
πŸ‘‰πŸ»a stenographer who platforms manipulative lies unchecked, or
πŸ‘‰πŸ»Ideally, a watchdog who fact-checks and holds power to account.
🧐 Which will it be?
