A lot of male detainees have died in ICE custody and we tend to see men being kidnapped off the streets but what happens to women in ICE custody? What do you think happens with unlimited power? NB The Independent continuing to be a pile of shit, describing rape as a “sexual relationship”!

Forced face scanning of a U.S. citizen with zero cause, just bald racial profiling. This is tech fascism.

White supremacists staring sadly at their Odin rune tattoos and trying to motivate themselves to cheer on war with actual vikings-

Photo of the Day. Around HALF of Greenland’s adult population is believed to have attended anti-Trump protests today. This photo was taken by Sean Gallup for Getty Images. It captures the thousands who gathered in the capital Nuuk, to reject Trump’s threats to take the island.

this is the sickest shit ive ever seen

Australia prides itself on being the US deputy-sheriff in the Asia-Pacific region, & every Prime Minister since Curtin has 'without any inhibitions of any kind, made it quite clear that Australia looks to America, free of any pangs' as to its traditional subservience to British Empire.

I keep seeing it without a saucy link, so here it is: January 17, 2026 VICTORIAN BUILDING INDUSTRY GROUP (BIG) UNIONS -- CFMEU, ETU, PPTEU, AMWU -- & BCF ENDORSE MARCH 18: DAY OF TRUTH AND FREEDOM NO WORK, SCHOOL, OR SHOPPING, ONLY DUCK-HUNTING

We will now identify several ICE and CBP agents who have been terrorizing Minneapolis, Chicago, New York, and California. Including Greg Bovino's personal bodyguard who is a former Navy SEAL.

We will now begin naming ICE and BORTAC agents who have been participating in kidnapping and murder. Meet T.J. Rico of McAllen, TX, a BORTAC agent who accompanied Greg Bovino to Chicago and Minneapolis. Rico is married to a famous Unvision news anchor who covers CBP, raising concerns of bias.

That’s Stephen Kapos. He’s a holocaust survivor, patron of Stop the War. Proud Palestinian solidarity activist. www.aljazeera.com/amp/opinions... But to Zios, apparently a protester in a cult.

Trump turns over the nobel prize to see written in large letters, “NOT TRANSFERABLE” Shits himself and demands the US invades Canada.

The West supports capitalism. Everything else - human rights, democracy, etc - is just window dressing to be discarded with when it suits

This is so important. If you persist in misrepresenting or misunderstanding reality you give even more ammunition to populist liars who understand nothing.

Selling military supplies to a genocidal regime, and trying to ban protest and criticism of Israel. Folks, please, that's not "centre-right", that's fascist.

Boomer/Gen-X nostalgia, unrecognised propaganda and binary thinking ("dO yOu WaNt ThE LiBeRaLs To WiN?!?) are blinding much of the nation to how horrifically complicitly shit this party is

The name is Orwellian at this point. The party clearly represents capital, not labour. It is a misnomer with propagandistic consequences.

Australia needs to seriously come to terms with how much the Labor Party fucking sucks

"a land... in transition and a soul in transmigration": Apichatpong Weerasethakul’s languorous, Palme d'Or-winning psychodrama UNCLE BOONMEE WHO CAN RECALL HIS PAST LIVES (2010) is on MUBI UK & Ireland from today. My old capsule: projectedfigures.com/2026/01/16/u...

I reckon we can do it. "Aussie Aussie Aussie, oi oi oi!" as a demented fucking racist might scream in a child's face.

Its worth raising awareness of an alternative definition that improves on the IHRA - the Jerusalem Declaration on Antisemitism (JDA). It makes doesn't make the categorical mistake of conflating the modern state of Israel with the religion. jerusalemdeclaration.org

She would not know what being a Zionist is. Has she read anything by or about Theodor Herzl? Does she even know who he was? What a stupid claim.

How's the backdrop they choose? Surprised she's not wearing an Akubra.

We are calling on the Federal Parliament to reject the Federal Government's new proposed legislation, the Combatting Antisemitism, Hate and Extremism Bill 2026. Read more: bit.ly/49kBGTu

But no matter what the answers to these questions are, what matters most is what you, who oppose a takeover of American democracy by these corrupt fascists, are willing to do to fight for your vote.

If all you're willing to do is say "We're cooked" on a social media site, maybe it is all over. If you're willing to struggle alongside your friends and neighbors for democracy, then we've got a chance.

A very embarrassing day for the world

NASA say that the crew member who was ill and returned to earth is doing well and now having a meal with colleagues.

I can't believe that this has been an option the entire time *sets up school for raccoons against racism*

So glad we're still part of that AUKUS agreement.

The major parties continue to show us that they are incapable of putting the public interest ahead of their donors, their factions and their self interest. #auspol

#OtD 15 Jan 1929 civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr was born in Atlanta, Georgia. Before his assassination he had become increasingly radical, criticising militarism, war, poverty and capitalism as well as racism

McKenzie just proved what people have tried to explain since Balfour. You can be a Zionist & not Jewish & you can be Jewish and not a Zionist. BECAUSE THEY’RE NOT THE SAME FUCKING THING! Claiming denouncing zionism is antisemitic is like saying opposing Capitalism is offensive to Christians. #auspol

Jarvis Cocker & Pulp are legends. They have shown solidarity in the UK and now for the Adelaide Festival. I’m glad Adelaide won’t miss out on seeing Pulp but I’m glad they were willing to stand their ground.

Regarding the claims of federal mercenaries about the shooting in Minneapolis tonight: It is safe to assume that every single thing that anyone associated with ICE or the Trump administration says is an outright lie. Lying is their policy. They lie even when video footage contradicts them.

The Greens have serious concerns about the proposed hate laws legislation, which we have shared with the government, and we will not support it in its current form. We can’t combat hate if we don’t combat it for everyone.

uh oh -- Trump's eyes are closed

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

Re: SA Premier Peter Malinauskas' appallingly offensive, mind-numbingly ignorant attack on Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah, I fear many of our politicians (Labor, Libs, Nats, One Nation) are either ignorant of history, culture & literature OR appallingly racist OR easily manipulated. Or all of this. #auspol

Re: SA Premier Peter Malinauskas' offensive, ignorant attack on Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah, I fear many of our politicians (Labor, Libs, Nats, One Nation) are: • ignorant of history culture literature • appallingly racist • easily manipulated • happy to be used by donor lobby groups #auspol

The key to assessing the new proposed hate laws is asking yourself this question, "how would they be used by a complete sh*t c*nt, if they were in charge?" Not naming names.

In Albo's new antisemitism bill, the definition of "hate crime", which underpins the new regime to proscribe "hate groups" like the Nazis, specifically excludes "advocating genocide". That is, advocating genocide is treated as not being a racist hate crime. Now, why would that be?

The Albo government's antisemitism bill is a rushed hatchet job. Nobody has proper time to consider it carefully enough, and it will have all sorts of unintended consequences if passed. It is the worst kind of law-making: moral panic induced, pandering to powerful lobby groups' demands.

MALINAUSKAS [with jerry can and box of matches]: I'm good to go!

Adelaide Festival board has retracted their statement of 8 January and have an extended an invite to Randa Abdel-Fattah for the 2027 Writers' Week
