The Greens now have more members than the Tories, and say they signed up more than 1,000 this morning when Zack Polanski was on TV. Now they've overtaken the Tories, they're targeting Labour. Interesting times www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/the-gr...

Israel accused of 80 Gaza ceasefire violations killing 97 people - https://www.middleeasteye.net/live-blog/live-blog-update/israel-accused-80-gaza-ceasefire-violations-killing-97-people

Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs BREAKING!!!! Israel is bombing Gaza again! Will anyone stop these maniacs? Where are the ministers and heads of state who were celebrating “peace” just last week? x.com/FranceskAlbs...

New BBC headline updated 15 minutes ago: "Israel says it will return to ceasefire hours after carrying out strikes on Gaza" But... is it really a ceasefire if Israel says the ceasefire is in effect except when they're bombing Gaza? Isn't that just... refuelling?

So @australia.theguardian.com, what's the chance that the bit of debris found near Newman comes from the only rocket launched that day, which happens to be from Taiyuan just north of Newman into a polar orbit over Newman? www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Pritzker: Throughout history we've learned that tyranny doesn't arrive with dramatic proclamations. Most times it comes quietly wrapped in the language of law and order, with fingers pointed at someone who doesn't look like you, promising safety while demanding that we sacrifice our neighbors.

Here's Scott Burchill. "Thought control"

Imagine writing this AUKUS puff piece saying “Rolls-Royce dismisses critics” of its UK nuclear reactor program and … forgetting … to mention the UK audit authority’s finding that “successful delivery of the project appears to be unachievable.” www.smh.com.au/world/europe...

"If you say a boat has narcotics on it, where is the narcotics? We want evidence, we want proof. There is nothing," she added. Not to mention, we have non-lethal interdiction protocols for international waters. 1/ www.reuters.com/world/us/fam...

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

Of the top 0.1% only 22% of them pay any Income Tax at all because most of them dodge it. But their average wage is £4,200,000 a year. That's more than 200x the £19,800 average of the bottom 50%. There's a problem, insane greed.

There is a stronger link between childhood trauma & addiction, than there is between obesity & diabetes. Two thirds of addicts report being abused as children. That means the war on drugs is a war on traumatised people that just need help.

"...Ibrahim emerged from the rubble like daylight emerging from the ashes of night... feeling his way to a house of which only ruins remained, & the voice of a mother still lingering in the air among the rubble... voice that cannot be heard but still causes pain." www.threads.com/@khaledahmed...

@govpritzker.illinois.gov these are your State Police beating peaceful protesters. You talk a good talk about resisting fascism but your walk looks very goose steppy. Why are you unleashing your thugs on peaceful protesters who oppose fascism?

If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."

imagine subsidising and legitimising the ocean-boiling fakery industry by deciding a public education department or university should give money and data to Open Ai’s “edu”-branded slop. Knowing they are actively causing targeted abuse of students. So creepy.

What I don't have in experience, I make up for in integrity. And what Andrew Cuomo lacks in integrity, he could never make up for with experience.

Q: “Most hospitals + people who will lose insurance are in rural areas. If Trump & Republicans are so intent on sticking it to their own voters, why not let them?” @aoc.bsky.social : “That’s the difference between us & Trump. I don’t care if you voted for me, I want you to have health care.”

Spot the difference. The BBC still trying to put a bandaid over a gushing artery of facts. substack.com/@medialens/n...

Blindfolded, handcuffed and hanged by Israel. Palestinian remains returned. substack.com/@mosababutoh...

More and more Australians are seeing through the spin, and working out that Australia being a US base for B52 bombers, nuclear submarines, marines and spy hubs is making us less safe. Much less safe.

Today's column is about the government's huge, unprecedented assault on nature ... and about the eerie, astonishing silence of the big nature groups. The RSPB, National Trust, Wildlife Trusts have 7.5m members between them. A vast force, completely unmobilised. 🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Israel is a terrorist state and must be held to account. Palestinian bodies returned by Israel show signs of torture and execution, say doctors. Almost all had been blindfolded and had gunshot wounds between the eyes, says medic at Nasser hospital in Gaza. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

Lunch time. I could buy this lunch for 40,000 people for the cost of this report nobody has written nor read, commissioned and then buried in the desperate thrashing of a department bargaining with the reality of what they've done to hundreds of thousands of welfare recipients.

Australia’s deepening digital ties with the U.S. may offer protection — but at the cost of control. Security without sovereignty: Australia’s quiet slide into digital dependency ~ Paul Budde

From the other place. No peace without justice.

With the israeli *colonial* settlements, there is no security for palestinians. Israeli settlers are using violence and terror against them. And settlements come with their own security and exclusion zones. Their main purpose is to take land away from the local population.

'In this interview, UNICEF Spokesperson James Elder and Mehdi Hasan discuss the blocking of aid, the siege over Gaza, and the surge of child illness and trauma in the region, describing what #Israel has done in #Gaza as ‘the worst of humanity.’ www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRhv... #News #Palestine

'Women in Syria are calling for a democratic, decentralized Syria — led by women and not shaped by external plans. Join the call! “With the unity of women, we build a free, democratic, and decentralized #Syria.”' www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6o4... #Rojava

Israeli leaders screamed their genocidal intent at the top of their lungs all the way through. No crime in history has been so confessed to as it actually happened. But almost all Western media outlets suppressed this. Kudos to @scotnational.bsky.social for not being one of them.

Crazy that we hear about Train Drivers who get £60,000 a year for driving a train. But we never hear about the boss of Tesco who gets £30,000 a day and doesn't even pay tax in the UK. Or the £250m a day that the likes of Amazon, Vodafone, BP and Shell don't pay in tax.

1. As some Democrats have run from transgender rights, Zohran Mamdani is showing what so many others have lacked: courage to lead with his values over pandering to focus groups. The ad is one of the best things I've seen from a politician on transgender people. Subscribe to support our journalism.

400 Americans have more wealth than all 70m in the UK. The richest 0.1% of the UK have more money than poorest 50% of UK. Do you see how it works, do you understand how ridiculously rich the richest have become. The richest 0.1% are 42x richer than in 1970, you got 12%.

#ABCAustralia you have @lisamillar.bsky.social @carringtonclarke.bsky.social @thelyonsden.bsky.social Barbara Miller and Kamin Gock in North America and I bet one of them has filed a story on this Alaskan disaster. Why aren't your editors publishing? There's nothing yet on your website.

"The federal government should listen to the concerns of child sexual abuse survivors and allow Australian honours to be rescinded after perpetrators and enablers have died, campaigners say." From the desk of @gingerandhoney.bsky.social

Can’t wait for the Albanese government to come out and say loudly how interfering with other nations’ ships on international waters is illegal and to be condemned* *except when Israel does it to prevent aid ships reaching Gaza with Australians aboard. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

Antarctica may have crossed a tipping point that leads to rising seas. Growing evidence of permanent shift Without adequate sea ice formation, their melting rates will accelerate, with the potential to cause extreme global sea level rise. #climate www.newscientist.com/article/2498...

Trump is going to track Americans’ every move. This is in addition to Palantir tracking us using our private financial, health and travel data, social media, donations — and more. If you think they’re only tracking “illegals” or “Antifa,” then you haven’t been paying attention.

ICE IS DISAPPEARING PEOPLE TO WORK CAMPS

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion. As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

A slap on the wrist behind closed doors undermines the case put forward by Finance that the culture of PwC is all cleaned up, which was their justification for allowing PwC back into the fold of government contracts. #auspol

A Senate report has found that “a lack of trust” and “an abuse of processes” lie at the heart of the governance failures in Australia’s universities, writes Tim Moore. What’s needed, it says, is “less stacking of corporate appointees” on university councils. satpa.pe/Hjjd7B5
