#NSW is well & truly a #PoliceState now 😡
We can thank @albomp.bsky.social (stupidly inviting a war criminal) & Chris Minns (making peaceful protest illegal at the whim of police) for the disgraceful scenes in Sydney.
Joh Bjelke-Petersen would have been be proud of you. The rest of the us are angry

On camera...#NSW Police, or Mossad #Minns Shock Troops in action? #Albo, truly it's a disgrace to see #Australian police beating up peaceful #Australian citizens, and for what? To protect a man #IsaacHerzog, a man charged with committing genocide in #Palestine! Shameful stuff Mate shameful! #auspol

The invitation is a really bad idea and just indicates how tone-deaf Albanese is to the wishes of the Australian community 😡

Amazon has cut a combined 28,000 jobs since October. Its CEO made $40M+ in 2024

UPS has announced 78,000 job cuts since last year. Its CEO made $24M.

HP announced up to 6,000 layoffs in November. Its CEO made $21M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.

We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

My lovely views have gone c/o Fire Smoke.
- I feel for everyone directly impacted by these fires 😞
- if you still have masks left over from Covid, might be a good time to get them out
- if you have air purifiers & your house is smokey, close doors & windows & get them running
Take care everyone 💗

Crackdown.

For everyone in the Southern part of Australia, check your Weather Apps & Your Emergency Apps; it’s gonna be very hot in a lot of places.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.

Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

I don’t know whether there should be a Royal Commission into the #BondiMassacre; but surely it would be better to do so, just to take the politics out of it.
But a Royal commission should have a broad scope that includes Islamophobia and other influences that may have contributed to this event.

How was my 1st day of 2026?
After going to bed maybe after 3am 🙄, I ate mostly (very nice!) leftover Fruit Pavlova, I cut most of the grass in back garden & raked, I had a healthy salad for dinner (offsetting the Pav 🤣), watched more The Witcher, break to water garden.
How’s 2026 been treating you?

Very sad!!!

My heart goes out for those killed tonight in the massacre at Bondi in Sydney and to their friends and families and bystanders caught up in this horrible event. Such extreme violence is abhorrent to civilised people and must be condemned 😞😞😞

Brittany Higgins declared bankrupt by federal court Former senator Linda Reynolds's bid to have Brittany Higgins declared bankrupt has succeeded in a federal court.

Though Linda Reynolds won her court case, her actions, including suing a victim of sexual violence, tell me everything I need to know about her character.

"Of particular concern is our finding that deep con-
vection in many models stops in the next decade or
two, and that this is a tipping point which pushes the
northern AMOC into a terminal decline from which
it will take centuries to recover, if at all." 😬

I guess #Australia is like the rest of the world where traditionally left-wing parties have gone to the centre, or as seems more common now they’ve actually gone right-wing. Time to vote leftist independents & minor parties instead.

More Horrific Than Abu Ghraib And Guantánamo - PopularResistance.Org On June 19, 2024, Khaled Mahajneh, a Palestinian citizen of Israel, became the first lawyer to visit a notorious detention facility for Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, located inside the Sde Teiman ...

I wish people would stop using #Spotify. Not only do they NOT pay #musicians fairly & host lots of AI music. But now the CEO is investing in AI #weaponry.
If you REALLY want to support musicians, buy #Downloads, #USBs, #CDs, #Vinyl, #Tapes, #Merch & tickets to live shows.
#FairPayGorMusicians

I consider the #ALP, especially under @albomp.bsky.social, to be a #rightwing party with little in common with the #Labor of #GoughWhitlam. For left-wing voters like me, that means first-preferencing #Greens, #Independents or other minor left parties, with ALP marginally above #LNP & other crazies.

OMG. Watching the latest episodes of #SouthPark and it’s SO on the money. A lot of amazing political, social & religious insights - as well as lots of silliness of course 🤣!

Just saw Prime Minister about @jacindaardern.bsky.social
Proud that Aotearoa could produce such a empathetic caring PM. Now will you consider moving to Aus & taking over here please? Only joking 🤣
It was a moving & tough watch. Tears falling re the Christchurch massacre 😞
Thoroughly recommend!

It’s #MelbourneCup Day tomorrow. If you insist on perpetuating the exploitation that comes with gambling, just go to the pokies like every other loser.

You can still dress up and get wasted but at least that way you’re not enabling the suffering & probable death of another horse.

Centrelink threatening payment suspensions at rate of five a minute, new analysis suggests Exclusive: As jobseekers continue to have payments suspended, advocates call for the regime to be stopped until it’s proven to be lawful

JHFC what we need is to get rid of the so call job providers - that will be a few $billion back in the pot.

2nd. Centrelink culture needs a good scrub. They should be supporting people not terrorising them.

Payments should be increased to a minumum wage level
