I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

Bondi politic. My @smh @theage cartoon.

Banning peace protests, curtailing free speech, will only fuel the fires of antisemitism. Also: revelations of death threats and doxing in Bondi attacks aftermath #auspol youtu.be/Fxm6RU17C-c?...

Josh Frydenburg is right now using the mass murder of 15 people to raise his own public profile again, presumably as a precursor to securing his political re-election and thus a potential run at a future Prime Ministership. He is a total fucking grub. #Bondi

IMHO PM Albanese could not do more than he’s doing The politicians and others slamming him are just point scoring We do not want more censorship of human rights speech We need truth telling at all times www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

Typical. Regrettably.

Linda Reynolds bankrupted the young woman who was raped in Reynolds’ own office. History will not be kind.

Because it’s not getting reported on enough: Muslim fruit shop owner Ahmed al Ahmed, father of two, was the hero who bravely tackled one of the Bondi Beach shooters and took away his gun. He saved lives during a major terror attack. Say his name, and honor the lives of the victims of the shooters

It’s now clear tonight’s brutal gun violence was targeting the Jewish community, families gathering to celebrate the 1st night of Chanukah. This is reprehensible and intolerable. My heart is with the Jewish community who are grieving loved ones, and feeling rocked and fearful.

What was meant to be a joyous celebration is now a national heartbreak. Jewish people have a right to safety. Antisemitism has no place in our community and this abhorrent attack is an attack on all of us.

My heart filled with dread when I saw the news this evening. I’m absolutely devastated by the horrific violence at Bondi beach tonight. This is an appalling and unforgivable act of violence.

My thoughts are especially with the Jewish community. My heart goes out to all who have lost loved ones and those who were injured, and my immense gratitude to the first responders who have risked their lives to keep our communities safe.

This is what our amendment was all about, giving workers back their time. 💚

The stupid country. Or rather the stupid, greedy, irresponsible ruling class on behalf of which our govt "governs".

Can't we all?

What ceasefire? Ethnic cleansing, genocide continues. "Dozens of Palestinian families are “besieged” in northern Gaza, local authorities say, as the Israeli military has repositioned its forces deeper into the enclave in violation of a United States-brokered ceasefire agreement." aje.io/eyfsvs

No end to the cruelty of the Israelis. Cold temperatures and heavy rainfall are worsening already dire conditions for displaced #Palestinian families across Gaza, as Israel continues to block the deliveries of tents and other critical shelter supplies into the besieged territory. aje.io/envsm6

This is an excellent social experiment. All ages are discussing it The implications are very important imo

If you’re getting paid twice the amount of the PM, I would expect you to be able to answer questions about money spent in your role.

Whitlams legacy lives on

Israel has no intention to stopping its genocide, by whatever means. #StandWithPalestine Authorities in Gaza say that Israel has only allowed a fraction of the humanitarian aid deliveries agreed on as part of the United States-brokered ceasefire aje.io/prl7ih

This is a ceasefire? And 100s are dying before the Israelis permit them to leave Gaza for medical treatment. The genocide continues, slowly. At least 93 people in Gaza have been killed by Israeli attacks since the beginning of the October 10 ceasefire, Gaza’s Health Ministry says. aje.io/4xjbsb

Our Sydney March Against Racism built up to approx 1200+ people, spirited chants, union banners from the Teachers Federation & the National Tertiary Education Union & lots of banners for First Nations justice. Building solidarity we force the racist right back into their hole.

March against racism in Sydney today @mehreenfaruqi.bsky.social speaks of the shock of the far right mobilizing openly in the streets & the silence & inaction of government. No they resort to dogwhistling on migrants & foreign students making space for racism to flourish.

The war zone in Portland is out of control.

Those out of touch with reality would preach the high jobseeker numbers and stagnant filled jobs numbers as 'evidence' for beneficiaries being "lazy" and lacking discipline. However, this is a neoliberal economy working as designed. An economy reliant on the precariat class. #nzpol

Meanwhile in Australia, one of the wealthiest nations per capita, decades of policy failure are increasing #homelessness and #inequality. #auspol

Some good news! Electricity from renewables overtakes coal in Australia for the first time

"Keane and Riemer...have argued that criticizing Zionism or Israel is not racist hate speech." It is ludicrous that this commonsense position should have to be defended in court. And shows just how far the Israel lobby will go to silence their critics. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

I am mostly done with the archival material I used for my book The First Right: Self-Determination and the Transfomation of International Order, and so I am putting as much of these materials as I can online, where they can be used by other scholars: www.bradleyrsimpson.com/self-determi...

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

NSW Secretary of the Australian academic union NTEU calls out the use of "antisemitism" to shut down free speech & inquiry in our universities & points out he real threat of far-right antisemitism is being ignored while the zionists pursue opponents of Israel's genocide.

Dr Lana Tatour refutes the legal case of supporting Palestinian freedom being antisemitism. The whole case of building a "racial" crime against a Israeli nationality is nonsense since the state of Israel does not itself recognize "Israeli" as a nationality, only the Jewish national category.

Rally at the NSW Supreme Court in Sydney where two Usyd Academics who have long campaigned for a #FreePalestine are facing a legal case of "antisemitism". @mehreenfaruqi.bsky.social reinforced we must continue despite the intimidation otherwise justice is lost for all.

Sydney rally today Free, Free, Free Palestine all the way

It’s the Feds making Portland look like a war zone— not the protesters. And honestly, these protesters are brilliant. They’re flipping the whole authoritarian cosplay on its ass!
