Huge news that Spain and Italy have sent navy boats to protect the Sumud flotilla - the world should support and join them protecting the flotilla in international waters

The Australians on the flotilla we are in contact with are calling on all of us to contact the authorities to ask for help Ordinary people bringing food to starving people should not be getting attacked by the IDF! You can email [email protected] and contact Foreign Minister Penny Wong

Deeply concerned about reports of drones above the Sumud flotilla and their radios being jammed following escalating threats from Israel. Australia needs to call for the safety of the flotilla and all those on board.

The Sumud Flotilla is under attack. Thiago Ávila, a Brazilian organiser, reports 10 drone attacks on the smaller boats, seemingly to destroy their sails. Citizens from the entire world are aboard. It is carrying food for the victims of genocide. Governments need to protect it.

Hi Tahlia.

Sydney on the move. STOP THE GENOCIDE.

I interviewed historian @emmashortis.bsky.social on the particulars of American fascism, comparisons with Nazism, the global crisis of democracy, and Australia's options. None of this is particularly cheery stuff, but you might find some clarity in it. youtu.be/MM6cXjTBJ0U?...

History repeats itself. #RoyalFamily #NaziGermany #UKPolitics #USPolitics #DonaldTrump

Illinois State Senator Karina Villa sprang into action to protect her community from ICE raids, alerting neighbors to their rights and chasing off masked agents. This is how you stand up to authoritarianism. We should all be inspired by Sen. Villa's courage.

Whoever is doing the advertising for the Green Party of England and Wales needs to teach a few other progressive parties around the world how it's done.

If Trump doesn't raise his threatening abuse of Australian journalist @johnthelyonsden.bsky.social when he meets Albanese, then Albanese must. And he must defend Lyons. This ugly authoritarian behaviour by Trump proves how far our two country's values are diverging.

Where's the condemnation, @albomp.bsky.social @senatorwong.bsky.social. Where's the sanctions—the total arms embargo, navy on its way to break the siege, cancellation of all trade agreements until the illegal occupation, the apartheid, the genocide stop? OR still too far away for you to judge?

Deeply disturbed by the apparently normalised class of person that hasn't said anything about 680,000 murdered Palestinians but is very upset about one Nazi podcast host.

A weekly round up of Nanna activities. There's a lot happening right now. knittingnannas.org/2025/09/16/n...

The government has responded to public pressure and it now looks like not every user will be subject to age verification. Still time to scrap the ban entirely AND fix our privacy laws to protect users from the rapacious collection of private data

On a day when the Aussie gov own climate risk report predicts more deaths from extreme heat, millions facing flood and fire, & no more insurance us Knitting Nannas (and Albo’s dog Toto) will be keeping the pressure on. @albomp.bsky.social Join us wherever!

Today our Prime Minister is committing $12b of our money to a half-developed defence precinct outside Perth, as a pre-meeting act of appeasement for Donald Trump. It’s not about us, it’s about him. It’s the continued loss of our wealth and independence on the AUKUS altar.

The Israeli Government has made an ad about the Global Sumud Flotilla headed for Gaza, and it's surprsingly honest and informative.

😭😭😭#auspol Thank you Amy! I really needed this. I’m a Queenslander with a lot a rural family and friends and my heart is so heavy right now. Thank you from a ‘crazy, niaeve, hysterical, hippy- leftist, snowflake idiot’ What you write reminds us thinking qlders that we are not alone X

‘Strict pollution limits’ on a project designed to pump billions of tonnes of pollution into the atmosphere… would cigarettes be safer if they were wrapped in biodegradable plastic…FFS #climate

Nobody mention the war crimes please! The Australian War Memorial has halted its major military history prize because a truthful book about war criminal Ben Roberts-Smith was winning Historian CEW Bean, who championed the AWM, would be disgusted by this www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

C.EW. Bean said this about writing war history: “And if the historian cannot write that drama in its full truth, with the interplay of good and evil, wisdom and folly, of all parties working to its complex conclusion, then so much less the historian he.”

I hope the ABC got paid for this placement by the Australian Submarine Agency. Three AUKUS proponents spinning hard to explain how building Donald Trump an $8b nuclear submarine attack base off Perth, and housing a thousand US military personal, is in our national interest.

Here’s a better headline: “Inside the $8 billion US nuclear submarine base being built by Australian taxpayers that will make Perth a nuclear target.”

How the fuck do we live in a world where this man presumes to speak for all of us about a violent fascist arsehole but has never publicly done the same for a single slaughtered and innocent Palestinian child? #NewsCorpse #CharlieKirk

I spoke with a brave Australian, Dr Bianca Webb-Pullman, who is sailing to Gaza aboard the Family Boat alongside Greta Thunberg. Following the drone strike on her boat, she has a message for her local member, Josh Burns. Why not help him hear it?

How in the fuck do we live on a planet where it’s now acceptable for powerful men to be rapists, criminals, liars, bigots, corrupt arseholes and/or genocidal cunts but it’s NOT acceptable for us to try to make them stop? #NewsCorpse

Come call on them to act today 530pm at 320 Pitt st. Repost to support!

This is completely unacceptable - hope to see State and Federal MPs and Ministers take these attacks seriously.

Israel has attacked five different countries today: Lebanon, Palestine, Syria (3 locations, including the ancient city of Palmyra), Yemen, and a boat carrying activists and food in Tunisian waters. That's a wholllllle lot of defending itself, ey??

Who said this? "We don't need a culture of secrecy, we need a culture of disclosure.. protect whistleblowers .." www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6O7...

It's happening here, too, the trend is clear. Our universities, symphony orchestras, public libraries, media, all levels of politics - there's a fascistic push to get us all to shut up about Israel's genocide of Palestine. Don't be too complacent; this is about all of us and our democracy.

Imagine paying a part-time employee $1,070/day plus the salaries of their 6 full-time staff to advise the nation Watermelon is Hamas & refuse to condemn neo-Nazi rallies because Zionism is Nazism & white supremacists stick together. Overall, this is a very bad look, @albomp.bsky.social. 🍉

🥳 MASSIVE WIN 🥳 Most of the 18 Canberra Wave arrestees had their cases dismissed today! 💪 Those with priors got minor fines, with the magistrate praising their good character. Support Rising Tide arrestees with legal costs here: chuffed.org/project/supp...

This morning an absolutely bizarre take in the Australian that gets our inquiry into age verification backwards. Our inquiry isn't helping Big Tech, it's exposing how Labor's rushed age ban will HAND POWER to the very companies that are exploiting kids.

Thanks Bob Carr for setting out your reasons for your trip to China to commemorate the end of WWII. The Chinese and Russian peoples were Australian, UK and US allies during that conflict. We must work harder now to remove the threat of another world war. 👇

Labor’s plan to fix FOI is to make it harder to apply for information.

“NT regulators found out abt the DLNG leak in 2020, just hours after signing off on a proposal to extend its operations until 2050. It briefly sparked concerns of an explosion risk to ppl in Darwin & nearby Palmerston, 7-11km away” 5/6 #climate #gas #insanity #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

We thought Nanna Kathy was having a holiday in the Kimberley’s. Wrong. Instead she sought out #ClimateAction defenders who opened her 👀 to environmental battles across the north west of Australia. Rarely reported news on Australia’s richest woman. Share! knittingnannas.org/2025/08/28/n...
