This is probably naive of me, but I am constantly amazed at how rarely legacy journalists mention the role of bot farms, social media algorithms, and disinformation campaigns on politics. Are they still pretending that people's political info mostly comes through them?

And it’s like they just forgot that a large part of her amplification is via international bot farms. She’s not a serious political player but the forces elevating her are a serious threat to democracy.

This racist woman with a single digit IQ has addressed an empty room of fellow idiots in London with utter garbage about Australian society. Why is any attention being paid to her at all. Time to draw the line. Polls schmolls. #insiders

Catching the dawn coming up on Arrente land near Simpson Gap in the NT this morning. This country is so beautiful.

On Arrernte Country in Alice this weekend for the convergence on Pine Gap, calling for land back and the closure of this dangerous US base.

I'm old enough to remember when the entire British right had a month long meltdown about "foreign interference" when Obama said something mildly disobliging about Brexit. The Trump administration pouring millions of dollars into far right political groups in the UK? Not a peep

Dangerous stuff!!! "The documents reviewed by the Guardian set out details of the grants for the first time. They include $7m for 878, a “leading British and American think tank” devoted to “the rediscovery of our ancient culture” and “ending mass immigration”."

Our Pauline is on the CPAC stage again today (Saturday) - right after "daily worship" and "daily Lizz Truss" - to continue HER Australian Fight Back 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

"“It’s not just about having more fires to fight, it’s the risk of operational collapse,” .. who sits in the command centre and sees concurrent blazes occurring more often and earlier in the year. “When two or three fires break out simultaneously, we are forced to make immediate triage decisions."

"All of these challenges are hard to solve and easy to add to. Take the sad spectacle of One Nation leader Pauline Hanson palling around with far-right activist Tommy Robinson in a podcast on Friday."

Please read this & share w people not on Bluesky. Aussies must understand the scale of the Islamophobia crisis in 🇬🇧. We must work out how to tackle the Gina machine’s intention to hook us into the Islamophobia Network [I have no idea if GR or PH know] #Auspol lucyham29.substack.com/p/emergency-...

So, Australia, again, do we want to be an ally of this hideous being?

Can Cathy be called to the Royal commission to share her experience? Social cohesion my arse.

Not only should we not draw cartoons that people disagree with (and they are free to do so in a democracy) - we should be punished for it. I wonder what kind of punishment they have in mind.

"Decades of work by the Islamophobia Network has done unspeakable damage to 'social cohesion' in the UK...We must be aware of the awful danger of allowing the One Nation/Advance Islamophobia activity to run unchecked." Key🧵from Lucy. And still legacy media pretends it's just a political horserace.

Most of the governments who call on Israel to halt settlement expansion have provided Israel with diplomatic cover for its #GazaGenocide, and in many cases, are sending military equipment to the rogue state. We need a new English word for extreme hypocrisy.

Name one meaningful or substantial policy this man has to offer. theaimn.net/trump-views-...

Who is Hanson to be talking about "immigrants"? My antecedent, William Langham, was transported from London to Port Arthur for "larceny" in 1832... my whole family, thereafter, are "immigrants" to this land. It's only Indigenous Australians who are not.

11 ABC News reports on the Royal Commission on Antisemitism & Social Cohesion since Mon 13 Jul But only 3 ABC reports on the federal inquiry into racism against First Nations people that has been holding hearings around the country Blink & you'll miss it

Living under the ceasefire in Gaza has become more devastating than war because of Israel’s transition from direct military genocide to a comprehensive stage of "engineering genocide", Refaat Ibrahim writes. #Gaza #IsraelPalestine

The real divide in this country was never cultural. It's economic. And the culture wars are the distraction built to keep it that way. So what can we do about it? Plenty. New piece, link below. 👇 Every solution begins with a conversation. open.substack.com/pub/suebarre... #auspol

‘Deformed’ Not many steps from here to internment camps for political enemies.

Molly would like to remind you all to prioritise self-care and rest, and especially on weekends.

The road to climate disaster is lined with billionaires and politicians telling you to calm down as they profit from pollution and pillaging the Earth.

Pay attention Australia now more than ever. A must read especially if you’re in the ‘it will never happen here’ mind set. #AusPol

The machine around Gina Rinehart with Pauline Hanson as its face is placing Australia in the frame of this pro-Israel & Islamophobic network. I don’t know that either of the women is aware of that. It’s not only Adler at founding, Segal’s husband’s donations. Founders Newman & Abbott also

🧵Pauline Hanson’s meeting with Stephen Yaxley-Lennon (“Tommy Robinson”) is terrible news. There has been a rash of stories about terror threats, violent attacks on Muslims in the UK recently. The decades of work by the Islamophobia Network has made 🇬🇧 deadly. #auspol open.substack.com/pub/lucyham2...

The usual excellent telling it like it is from Ronni 👏👑👏 'That’s because ever so subtly through this Royal Commission, you are being fed fear about a takeover of Australia by nefarious forces so you don’t realise that Israel already has.' Thank you @ronnisalt.bsky.social & @davemilbo.bsky.social ✌️

Yup

This brilliant David Pope cartoon was from Feb 2025. But occurred to me that it is no less relevant today, if we substitute Jillian Segal for Dutton, and the Bondi royal commissioner for the anonymous witness. #auspol

“Why would you give a country committing a genocide any weapons?” @mehdirhasan.bsky.social presses Rep. @rokhanna.bsky.social on whether or not he supports an arms embargo on Israel, especially after his visit to the West Bank. Watch the full interview — zeteo.com/p/i-saw-terr...

A regular reminder for my fellow Australians: this corrupt malignant narcissist, adjudicated rapist, racist, and toxic fool heads up the most authoritarian regime in US history. This is who our government wants to keep as our closest ally, while paying billions for nuclear subs we may never get.

However, #FarRight terrorists will be encouraged to apply for government positions - particularly in ICE and other 'law enforcement' services.

"Ms Segal even told the inquiry she’d like a positive story of Israel told for every negative story of Israel on ABC, a demand that could see the national broadcaster follow every story on Israel bombing children alive in their tents with a nice story on the flowers in Netanyahu’s garden." 💥🎯#auspol

Trump is threatening Canada with additional tariffs because wildfire smoke drifted into the United States. When America burns, Canada sends firefighters. When Canada burns, Trump sends tariffs.

PSA: Last night wasn’t Trump telling you how the 2020 election was stolen, it was Trump showing you he very much plans to steal the 2026 election
