Got upset and made this so hopefully people will actually listen. What the fuck are we doing here folks?

Implacable evil

The Royal Commission hearings today are nuts. ANU is being forensically examined over the decision-making processes for getting a definition of antisemitism. Why isn't the definition being adopted, counsel asks? When will it be? What does any of this have to do with the Bondi terrorist attack?

These images of First Nations community members evacuating Collins, Ontario on motorboats are absolutely surreal www.facebook.com/reel/1548244...

This was an revealing moment at the RC — Students for Palestine organiser Yasmine Johnson was questioned closely by Commissioner Bell about whether her family were pro-Israel. Haven’t seen much of that scrutiny for other “lived experience” witnesses

Multiple fires are raging across Canada right now while sociopaths build more pipelines and pump more oil

New: The false material and bad-faith arguments presented by Jillian Segal against the ABC and SBS draw attention to deeper flaws in the royal commission

If you can find any sort of 'proposal' here specific to anything other than super funds running a myGov dashboard (???) to do nothing in particular you are a sharper analytical mind than I.

If you need to understand Britain and reform, you need to understand how poor the majority of Brits have become between the Austerity policy that followed 2008 crisis & Brexit. #Auspol #UKpolitics 🎁 link? www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

For decades, families of Mount Isa miners killed on the job have waited for a lasting tribute, but after years of campaigning, some fear their loved ones will be forgotten.

In March 2025, Trump met in the Oval Office with oil & gas executives. They listen their grievances and, on the spot, Trump leapt to address them. The executives were, in their own words, "stunned." Read these extraordinary excerpts. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/14/c...

I pitched a story on this volunteer effort maybe six years ago as a summer bagger. Can't remember now why it didn't go ahead but glad we finally found a way to write about it. via @picardonhealth.bsky.social www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

As an example, it covers a law proposed last year to regulate the seed trade. Behemoth seed corporations are chomping at the bit to get into Lebanon, and environmentalists and farm worker organizers are putting up a heroic fight to protect their heirloom varieties and smallholders.

I know we are living in the darkest timeline but this is still particularly dank.

Yesterday the inquiry into racism against First Peoples heard damning evidence from the organisers of the Boorloo Invasion Day rally that was targeted by a white supremacist bombing attack. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

the real story behind this viral photo is even more heartbreaking than the one the public created.

as far as I can tell, the National Indigenous Times is the only media outlet consistently covering these hearings. www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentar...

According to this report, the Royal Commission is not permitting’lived experience’ witnesses to be cross examined. A lot of their evidence to date has confused antisemitism with hostile political statements. Cross examination would be expected to help distinguish between these concepts.

Watch as the Atlas Network’s Australian operations up their game in the war on secular, public education. Part class war. Part also that our players are integrated into a Far Right transnational “messianic MAGA alliance” (c/oByline Times) to “save the West.” #Auspol open.substack.com/pub/lucyham2...

Apparently the ABC and its various regulators can't adequately judge editorial standards. They need a pro-Israel lobbyist to decide them.

Not a single senior support worker on the advisory group

Why is it that the voices of people at the front line of disability support work aren’t offered representation on expert advisory boards?

Let me be clear. The RSPCA does not "raid", it gives advance warning to these animal industries for upcoming inspections. They knew about this an entire year ago, but it was up to the Farm Transparency Project to bring the evidence to light for prosecution. Despicable. #AnimalCruelty #Adelaide #Pigs

Mourners marched across the Mississippi to the federal building carrying coffins for every migrant that has died in DHS custody.

In case you were wondering: yes, Israel destroyed all the MRI machines in hospitals that treat 2 million people. And all but one cardiac catheter machine. And they blockaded all the cancer medicine. And blew up 200 ambulances. www.middleeasteye.net/news/gaza-br...

The Christian Brothers is an international organisation. They own property, an investment company, US auto repair shops, they’re rich. Placing the Australian section in a compartment and claiming it’s broke is a classic Catholic trick. Possibly legal, not moral. They continue to be bastards.
