🚨 James Baldwin responding to, “why must you always concentrate on color?” White privilege is as blind and emboldened now as it was then, if not more so. 1/2

This makes me so angry. Home care is meant to keep people out of residential care. Residential care is already a huge cost for the government & far less cost effective than home care. This means more people will end up in residential care because they can't manage at home. Its fucking ludicrous!

Hang on… The Albanese Labor Govt is saying that elderly Australians have to pay more for basic at home care - as spending needs to be reigned in. But - they give over $200b of our public money to the US & UK for submarines we’ll never see. What a betrayal #auspol

This is the way.

Exclusive: distinguished Prof Fiona Stanley was ‘ashamed’ after the hospital named after her abruptly cancelled an event featuring Palestinian-Australian doctors speaking about their experiences in Gaza, and says she even considered asking the hospital to remove her name

Nice post you got there, it'd be a shame if I deliberately missed your point so I could be tedious about it

Unchain Australia from the Unstable Slavers hegemony now - 'AUKUS submarines will cost five times the entire annual defence budget. We can’t fund both AUKUS and a self reliant defence capability. We must choose self reliance.' johnmenadue.com/post/2025/09... #StopAUKUS #auspol

When they turn off the internet, we are to all meet up at our local libraries.

4) While Abu Dhabi won't be taking over Santos any time soon, they haven't stopped to lick their wounds. Just today, Santos started production from Barossa, one of Australia’s (or the world's depending who you ask) dirtiest gas projects.

US GOP: "proceeding with recognition (of Palestine) will put your country at odds with longstanding US policy and interests and may invite punitive action" So... Aus foreign policy must = US foreign policy or else. Is that right @albomp.bsky.social ? Are we fine with foreign interference? Or not.

Thousands of activists marched down Park Avenue and turned down Billionaires’ Row toward Trump Tower in New York Saturday to “Make Billionaires Pay,” calling for climate justice, democracy, free speech, gender equality, a stop to the Trump’s immigration crackdown and a ceasefire in Gaza.

No-one, of course, is suggesting state compensation for crop losses to flying foxes as a measure to address the cost of doing business. But no flying-foxes, no forests. #auspol

Have improved on my first attempt.

Uncle Xuetong gets the vibes right.

The alarm bells are getting very fucking loud right now

A Black teen named Kalief Browder was falsely accused of stealing a backpack. He spent 3 years tortured at Rikers & died by suicide A wealthy white man named Tom Homan was caught by FBI accepting bribes. He was promoted to a powerful law enforcement position This is what white supremacy looks like

The Global Sumud Flotilla sails toward Gaza because governments have failed — but the people have not. Humanity is on board, breaking the siege

Oh man. I was searching for this as a recent article thinking it was something about the Goebbels film. The past and present are doing some merging. (This was 1939.)

Any journalist who signs is no longer a serious journalist. "Access" isn't everything.

And the stupid US/Australia AUKUS deal is nothing more than protection money for the orange bully boy. Our useless gvmt caved in to him, to our eternal shame.

Dear #sbs boycotting #eurovision is a small thing to do that would mean a lot to (I'm guessing, but surely) the majority of your viewers #sanctionisrael #auspol www.theguardian.com/media/2025/s...

Pre-election the Qld LNP pledged no public funds for pill testing. After the Crisafulli government formed, The Loop Australia raised private funds for their Bowen Hills clinic. It so enraged Jarrod Bleijie that now all pill testing in Qld will be banned. #qldpol

I’m old enough to remember that slowing growth and rising prices is called “stagflation” and that it’s the worst of all worlds.

Dr. Deb Houry, former CDC chief medical officer: “I have many that won’t speak about vaccines now and have removed their names off of papers. They don’t wish to present publicly anymore because they feel they were personally targeted because of misinformation.” This is frightening.

Canceling Stephen Colbert and now Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert - and Matthew Dowd is horrendous- and pure fascism. Shame on those networks for caving We have a right to freedom of speech and we want it back. This is textbook fascism.

We’ll just add the UN report on Gaza to the pile, shall we?

“The target Labor is announcing today applies to just over 20% of our emissions. The other nearly 80% are exported.” Thank goodness climate change won’t affect us here in Australia

Remembering that time Tony Burke, proud Labor Minister for Arts, cancelled Khaled Sabsabi so as not to upset his fanatical fascist Zionist friends. #auspol

Barbara Pocock asks what is ASIC’s max penalty, after they slugged ANZ with $240mill? Sarah Court says it’s in the “many billions of dollars” but ASIC chose not go for such a big fine bcoz it’s “sooo high”🙄 ANZ makes billions in profit each year. No wonder they never learn.

The fact that people are afraid to voice their honest personal opinion on Charlie Kirk, using his own words, especially in academia, because they are afraid of losing their jobs is exactly what happened in 1930s Germany.

MY GOD, I HAVE A NEW HERO. SHE HAD THEM SO HOOKED AND THEN BAM, SHE ATE THEM, BONES AND ALL.

This was after Colbert was canceled. Which was two months ago.

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

Activism + tech for the win!

Got to love the Brits.

My favorite Robert Redford acting trick is that he would clip off the end of a line the audience already knew the end of, pause as if thinking, then start the next line as if he was interrupting himself. It's why his acting feels so naturalistic. He feels improvised while not shitting on the script.

The most widely accepted criteria of regen farming are about climate change, together with soil heath: an increase in soil organic carbon (thus CO2 sequestration). The trouble is that they've been debunked, for cattle grazing, as an overall strategy. takeextinctionoffyourplate.com/regenerative...

As for biodiversity, a brand new study also confirms what's well established: overall ruminant meat, especially from grazing animals (which require more land, entailing more carbon & biodiversity opportunity costs) has the biggest 'extinction footprint' of all foods: www.nature.com/articles/s43...

This is on you Brian Kilmeade.

If the question was posed as shown it’s misleading. Getting nuclear subs is one thing, paying $X00 billion to maybe get them in 30 years and forever tie out defence to whatever warmonger is in the White House at the time is quite different. I imagine many more would oppose if they knew the context.

"This is a serious, serious attack on our democracy." The government's freedom of information changes "would be a coup that would simply make it so difficult for us to participate," says @mrrexpatrick.bsky.social. #auspol 🎧 theaus.in/41Vrsor

The RIGIDITY of the Duopoly - of Labor - is illustrative of a government lost without a vision, lacking in ideas, without flexibility and adaptability It is going to find it has no Australian support but when you lead from behind why would they expect that? johnmenadue.com/post/2025/09...
