#MaskUp for clean air in 2026.

The proper Aussie reply ⬇️ #auspol

What a difference 3 months makes!

Our world is on fire, and our so-called leaders are pouring petrol on it to please a bunch of filthy rich sociopaths. Pro tip @albomp.bsky.social, nothing you do will ever be enough to satisfy them.

Interesting to note that she died at age 29 from pulmonary TB.... ⬇️ Gee, nowadays vaccines & public health screening seem to work! That's why, in some parts of the world, newborns get a vax for TB & Hepatitis B..... Prevention! But not in USA because of madness of 🍊 felon & his enablers.

This photo was taken in 1911 using glass plate technology by Herbert Ponting who was part of Scott's Antarctic expedition, The composition and detail are exquisite with the band of white snow/ice creating a perfect frame around the two people and the ship in the distance Iconic imo

And here we are, a century later. No words.....

So wearing a mask in public is 'ocd' but washing your hands every time you eat anything is legit normal

COVID pandemic enters 7th year with no end in sight. "It's strange to think that the COVID-19 pandemic, which sent the world into lockdown 7 years ago never ended. It continues to kill and cripple us, to this day. We simply stopped talking about it." boingboing.net/2026/01/16/c...

I am waiting for a non- partisan collective view on the #climatecrisis in #auspol !! And in #MSM... It HAS to come, as only fools or greedy oligarchs can now deny it. All these disasters, 1 in 100 year events! Media, especially the young ones - this is your time to step up..... Be brave

It’s a good day to donate! wikimediafoundation.org/wikipedia25/

As I entered the elevator the man inside looked at my masked face and declared: “that’s a blast from the past!” but then the woman behind him in the elevator began hacking into her sleeve and before I could stop myself I replied: “those are coughs in the present.”

Thank you again, Louise Adler. That final line.... "They are coming for you" A great support for "social cohesion" is for us to understand more about our diverse stories. And then.... to realise how much we share in common humanity within our variety of world cultures. #auspol

The current ALP government had good reason to have a Royal commission into the Murdoch Press. Over 500,000 signatories to the proposed commission backed by Rudd and Turnbull. One of far too many disappointing decisions by this mediocre excuse for a government.

WTF Laura Tingle & John Lyons, two of our most respected..... #auspol

".....and not lose their humanity in the process." Yep. No words....

"It’s now more than time for the #AUKUS submarine project to be abandoned, and our defence capability to be built in our own interests, not those of a now totally unreliable United States." - Gareth Evans #auspol johnmenadue.com/post/2026/01...

Yes I watched! Louise Adler is a mensch. Thank you so much ❤️ I have never been to AWW or the Festival, but I have bookmarked it for 2027..... Thank you for your great articulation of the importance of freedom of speech & discussion. I salute you 👏👏👏 #auspol #abc730

Oh, I may have to watch.....

Today's "he can FRO etc...." post. FFS Sigh....

He needs to open his mind to visit (what is left of) Palestine behind its "apartheid walls", Jordan & a side "junket" to Egypt..... It's not so long since regular buses ran between Jerusalem & Cairo & seeing Israeli tourists around. Then all the "olive branches of peace" were stomped on.....

Hoping the people may prevail 🙏

It's past time.... Time to recognise the human failing of "othering" from one's own "tribe"/group/race/religion/sexual orientation/gender/"you name it!" and rather to normalise and embrace the diversity of humankind's stories. In an ever changing world..... We are all in this together 🙏

BREAKING: Hundreds gathered at San Francisco’s Ocean Beach to form a human banner reading “It Was Murder 🇺🇸 ICE Out,

Hey, remember the Epstein Files? I do.

Yep. Brilliant cartoon. #auspol

Yep. And said "junket" would have been more educational if they had also toured Palestinian areas & their olive groves, Christian, Druze, Samaritan & so many more sites, during the same trip. Media have SO much to learn about the rich diversity & history. Just 2-3 days longer.....

Renee Good’s last words were to ICE agent Jonathan Ross: “That’s fine, dude. I’m not mad at you.” Then Ross shot Renee three times in the face. As she was dying, his last words to her were: “Fucking bitch.” And JD Vance thought that exchange exonerated ICE. That says it all.

And also order the Flomask Pro from USA. For next time! It is so comfortable, have used on 3 long air trips to Europe = zero health issues! For daily, short use, when going indoors, we use Aus AMD nano-tech respirator P2. Both ordered on line.

OMG the #ABCnews interview by Joe O'Brien with Michael Harper (?) From near Alexandra, who lost his own house..... You & your mates are the best of Australia. Thank you. Always. Take care & all the best in your own recovery #auspol

Abolish the crazy thugs at ICE.

Majoritarian duopolies are the ruin of #democracy. I want to see the primary vote of ours continue on its decades-long decline. Power-sharing governments are our only salvation. It seems we are on an evolutionary path to a unique #Auspol experiment, with the rise of #Independents. Fingers crossed.

A dominant theme of Hitler's speeches in the late 1930s is that Germany was surrounded by threats. These threats were imaginary: it was Nazi Germany that threatened other nations. But they were used to justify pre-emptive attacks. Trump is following this script.

👏👏👏 Safe jouney Because #Covidisnotover #PrecautionaryPrincipleFFS

They intend to take away our vote.

🦗🦗🦗, & you'll be waiting a v long time 💀 It's down to the citizens now & the good few with integrity in politics & inde media who must force change. Our votes still remain v powerful weapons against this short-sighted, self-interested climate change suicide mission our govts are taking us all on.

Good take..... ⬇️ "They do not have a line...." Therefore there are no limits for them. Simple concept. Ring of truth.... Chilling.

Iranian women and girls, in memory of Mahsa Amini, demand justice, and are burning a photo of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei as an act of defiance. Mahsa's murder by Iran’s morality police sparked Iran's anti-impunity movement “Woman, Life, Freedom.” #3E #IranProtests #womenlifefreedom

This is a must read ⬇️ for #auspol In Trumpland, citizens have zero rights..... within a zero-limit "rule" by thugs.

Devastated for the Fowles winery team at Avenel in Vic/Aus. Apparently it took an hour to reduce this winery and venue to “not a blade of grass” remaining. That’s down to fossil fuel deciding other businesses can get stuffed. Literally. #auspol

Yep. #auspol

Thank you #auspol

I have assumed zero communication "privacy" for yrs! The real "deep state" is the billionaire tech bro oligarchical few who now control most communication, information, media, all govt & commercial services & politicians. All subject to the whims, egos, greed & power hunger of the few. #auspol

Greenland is part of Denmark. Simple. No dispute. How would we feel if Trump decided that Tasmania was desirable real estate as it's close to Antarctica? We 'd just give it to him would we? Can't believe the ABC would spread such disinformation. I'm appalled.

The first time Charlie Chaplin spoke onscreen, he implored the people of the world to resist the rising tide of fascism. Nearly 90 years later, it remains a timely message.
