JFC: What could go wrong? #AI #vote #politics

“Music can be a call to arms, but music itself changes nothing. It won’t go further unless you are determined to act upon it.” Bob Geldof, the rock star-turned-activist who helped organize Live Aid 40 years ago, reflected on the benefit concert’s impact and why it could not happen today.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

"They say we're the ones protecting the internet, keeping kids safe online," the Filipino worker said, "But we are not protected enough." Content moderators — organised in our global alliance — spoke to Reuters about the mental trauma from their work.

With billionaires in the discourse again, here are some great reads on the topic of extreme wealth

This is CRAaaaaaaaaaaZEEE. Land of the free? ICE is out. of. control.

Cleaners like Hayat have seen their working conditions erode over past decades. Employers haven't bid for public contracts because of lowest-price competition. MEPs in the Parliament's IMCO Committee, we all want stronger collective bargaining in public procurement rules – and we want it now.

“We deserve fair pay & good jobs.” Today, European unions representing 45 million workers launched a campaign in the Brussels metro, with essential workers calling on MEPs in the IMCO Committee to strengthen collective bargaining in the ongoing efforts to reform public procurement.

Was great to be part of the UNI team at #ILC2025 this year, working with affiliates and allies to get these important conclusions up.

There was one thing RFK Junior said today that made a lot of sense so I’m gonna share it:

That is in fact what this administration has done.

'And I will not yield to disrespectful men.'

Wow. Keir Starmer social media binge posting about being 'tough on borders and migrants' is so cringe (and devisive and dog whistley)! He is really vying hard for ScoMo's 'I Stopped the Boats' trophy hey.

🙌 "The time to just tell patients to go home and try again is over," Ms Oderberg said. The new guidelines very specifically say that women are able to access further testing to find out the cause, after 2 non-consecutive miscarriages. #miscarriage #pregnancyloss www.abc.net.au/news/health/...

Oops.

ICE raided a New York farm just days after workers voted to unionize. ICE agents, armed with a list, singled out those who have been organizing for years. Let’s be clear: when people stick their necks out, the system moves to remove them. That's why we must all stick our necks out. seiu.co/436Ym5o

So, Angus and Jacinta eh? What do we make of that #auspol ? www.news.com.au/national/pol...

I voted 1 for @patrickgorman.bsky.social in #ausvotes #auspol Today I have emailed him, with the following sentiments: Congrats + I voted 4 u... With such power in the house, I hope Labor now has the confidence, security, and chutzpah to introduce and implement a more progressive agenda... 1/2

The Jewish Council calls on the re-elected Albanese government to immediately sanction Israel and comply with our obligations under the Genocide Convention and international law. This includes cutting all economic, military and diplomatic ties with Israel. Media release here: tinyurl.com/5ydypam7

Time for a reelected progressive government with a huge mandate to maybe do...something?

Overhaul the tax system you say? OK. End the Capital Gains Tax discount... improve the PRRT... bring in a wealth tax.... also a broad super profits tax. Cheers, thanks for the suggestion.

Waking up and grasping just how irrelevant news.corp and their racist-culture war agenda is. Time for the ALP take this win as a marker in time.

Excellent. Just excellent www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

A young Labor candidate is on track to receive an unexpected 21st birthday present - a spot in Australia's senate.

Just got a message from a mate: “Can Peter Dutton get a ‘Goodbye From Country’?” 😂

The mandate is very, very clear Albo. Get all the things done, Labor. #ausvotes #ausvoted #auspol

Never mind their faces, that’s an epic spray from Mark Riley. Might just make it my morning wake up alarm tone. #ausvotes

Congratulations to @albomp.bsky.social and his party on their victory in the Australian federal election. Europeans and Australians are not just friends – we’re mates.
