Hope is not optimism or denial. It is a discipline – a commitment to keep acting without guarantees, even when the future feels uncertain, writes Stewart Sweeney. #auspol #Hope #Democracy #Climate

So you’re telling me a peaceful protest against genocide triggered a man who slipped through an ASIO watch list with links to ISIS who was allowed to own 6 guns in the Premier’s state to commit murder. Sounds legit

If the NSW authorities want to figure out who is promoting antisemitism they should start by looking in their own backyard. Vile.

"The scale of destruction is staggering. According to the United Nations Satellite Centre (UNOSAT), approximately 198,273 structures across Gaza have been damaged, with 123,464 completely destroyed. The telecommunications sector has been particularly hard hit."

NSW Premier Minns is intending to criminalize peaceful public opposition to genocide. If his aim is 'social cohesion', this action will deliver the opposite. #nswpol #auspol

And as a result, we find ourselves in the position of being lectured about the sanctity of human life by the mass murderer of tens of thousands of oppressed, unarmed, penned-in, helpless people. If Albo feels under pressure, so he should. He messed it up from the start, supporting a rogue state.

Assange said awarding Venezuela opposition leader is a 'gross misappropriation' of funds, risks facilitating war crimes.

The Gaza Strip is no longer facing famine in any of its regions, but more than three-quarters of the population still experience acute food insecurity and malnutrition, the global authority on hunger said.

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

Giving in these days carries a different meaning…. It's a message of love, compassion & humanity that transcends borders & language ❤️ If you're able to help, ur support today could be warmth for an entire family💛 If not, sharing means a lot.

While the source of its power was once a closely-guarded secret—journalist Danny Casolaro was murdered for investigating aspects of the network which he called “The Octopus”—it has more recently leaned into the power of ritual humiliation in cementing its dominance,often found flaunting its impunity

Albo bows to Israel, media pressure, implements much of Jillian Segal's plan incl #IHRA definition of antisemitism - makes it hard to criticise Israel #auspol analysis @sstephanietrann.bsky.social @kimwingerei.bsky.social michaelwest.com.au/albo-bows-to...

The idea that you can’t speak out against genocide without somehow causing a massacre is absolutely absurd #auspol

If only we cared as much about our Indigenous brothers and sisters as we do our Jewish Community. We'd have a First Australians Envoy to deal with racism, deaths in custody etc what say you @albomp.bsky.social #Auspol

“This is a dark moment for all of us. We must not make it worse by choosing to live with the genocidal lies & the oppression of hyperwealthy ghouls. We must choose truth, protect our peace, rights & seek justice for all humans everywhere. The children are our responsibility. All of them.” #Auspol

Giving Jillian Segal even more influence over Australian policy when she still hasn't denounced far-right group "Advance" (which she bankrolls) is extremely poor governing. Australia deserves far better.

“This report does not deliver safety. It delivers sweeping new state powers that undermine democratic freedoms and silence dissent, particularly opposition to Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza” - APAN president Nasser Mashni #auspol

Workplace exposures tied to higher risk of long COVID. Study of 2,054 workers in Spain (2020–23) found nearly 1 in 4 (23.7%) developed long COVID. People in high-exposure jobs face a 44% higher risk of long COVID — Health and social care workers, teachers, retail, transport, and security staff.

Here's me. "Weaponising the Bondi tragedy is a betrayal of all our children"

FTR, I strongly object to any proposal to teach kids that Zionism is not a racist, fascist ideology embraced by white supremacists all around the world, and that Israel's genocide, ethnic cleansing, apartheid and illegal occupation in Palestine is/was justifiable, @albomp.bsky.social.

Great visual report of what's happening to the climate and how it has impacted global food production recently.

It’s unfair, because there’s no way that the anti aukus lobby can compete with the budget of the weapons industry Where does the average Australian citizen or company or “friends” group get $200 mill? The government is supposed to represent Australians not huge global munitions companies #auspol

The Great Australian Gas Heist continues under the @albomp.bsky.social @jimchalmers.bsky.social @australianlabor.bsky.social Govt. A govt that trembles at the knees at the mere inference of the words “sovereign risk” from gas lobbyists - and which ignores the national interest. TAX THEM! #auspol

Never again means for anyone. The Bondi deaths are horrific. BBC tonight says further crackdowns in London & Manchester re echoes from Bondi in use of term “globalise the intifada” in protests since 7/10. No mention of the masses of Palestinian dead since that time. #Auspol

Fuck conservative mind games and gaslighting. Protesting genocide is not antisemitism. #auspol #Gaza

And there it is. Only 3 days have passed, no one with character would act like this. What a repulsive way to utilise this horrific tragic mind blowing terror event for personal political gain on top of the unjustified disgraceful ‘performance’ against the PM. Shameful, absolutely shameful. #auspol

This little map will be telling on the Australian government in years to come. Several countries and Europe have enacted AI laws to regulate it. Australia has a plan TBF it looks more like a plan to have a plan #auspol

#Gaza genocide: over 70,000 have murdered by terrorist Israel, with an est 4,000 children undergoing amputations 1000's without anesthesia. The United Nations stated it's the largest cohort of child amputees in modern history. #Gaza genocide – #Auspol – Fascist-Zionism – #Bondi

NSW Premier Minns believes peace protests cause people with extreme religious beliefs to shoot people with different religious beliefs. There is no connection between these two things. If they ban protesting, protest more. #AusPol #NSWPol

Another pair of heroes at Bondi has emerged: Boris & Sofia Gurman www.bbc.com/news/article...

@albomp.bsky.social @australianlabor.bsky.social Govt obsession with ‘debt relief’ is neoliberal drivel. Focus should be heath, education, infrastructure & poverty relief for pensioners & jobless. Voters crave bold transformational social democratic reforms, not corporate-driven austerity #auspol

The very least Albanese can do is show some courage by not kowtowing to Segal completely and implementing her more controversial recommendations, like using the IHRA definition and restricting funding to unis. Show some backbone, PM. Don't allow authoritarian tactics into our parliament. #Auspol
