Aerial footage of one of the many displacement camps in Gaza, a heartbreaking reminder that nearly the entire population remains homeless, even with a ceasefire in place.💔💔💔💔😢

Gough raised unemployment benefits to their highest level relative to poverty - then Fraser (and his treasurer John Howard) fucked it up as soon as they could. Hawke/Keating repaired some of the damage... then Howard fucked it up for good thepoint.com.au/opinions/251...

Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.

Offshore detention is a moral and financial black hole, bought to you by the Labor Party.

🇦🇺 pays $1.5mil per person each year to detain people on Nauru. During last Senate Estimates, I asked about links to organised crime and value for money, I was told there is no need for concern. Now whistleblower evidence paints a very different picture. www.smh.com.au/national/pou...

17/ > long history of determined opposition. A trivial example: the leader of the NSN in NSW is Jack Eltis. He runs a business. Don't use it. jeltisac.com

Lots of NSN were face out yesterday but at least one seemed to be trying to retreat inside his bucket hat. Does Oscar Tuckfield not want his colleagues at the law firm knowing how he spends his weekends?

It is now clear that America was complicit in the dismissal of Whitlam. And Australia, starting with Fraser, has been nothing but an obsequious toad ever since. #AusPol #TheDismissal

I have just published my weekly update on modern war and strategic competition. This week: the Battle of Pokrovsk, Russian casualties, deep-strike campaigns, China's 3rd aircraft carrier commissions, as well as my recommended war and national security reads. mickryan.substack.com/p/russian-ca...

"100,000. That’s the number of people who actively volunteered for the campaign, knocking on doors, talking to their neighbors and co-workers. That’s one in every 10 people who even voted for Mamdani. They recognized politics as an act of being in community, beyond just showing up to tick a box"

“Australia cannot stand with Ukraine while Australian capital helps sustain Russia’s war economy,” Argyrou said. “Every drop of Russian oil sold helps finance the destruction of Ukrainian homes and lives. Australians deserve to know whether their banks and investment funds are profiting from that.”

The closed captioning is devastating

He knows exactly what he did. Down to the numbers. Don't Let this disappear. EVER 🤬

In its spate of extrajudicial killings the US has now murdered at least 70 people. Neither Trump, Hegseth nor anyone else has provided the public, or Congress, any evidence that its targets were smuggling drugs or posed a threat to the United States in any way. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Homo Sapiens emerged about 300,000 years ago. Imagine you gave an early Sapiens $9,000. And they looked at you and said “the fuck is this?” But anyway, you piled up $9,000 Every Single Day since the first Sapiens walked the Earth. You still wouldn’t have a trillion dollars. Capitalism is fucked

We just wanted to say thank you to everyone! ICE agents keep lying under oath, and you’re the reason the truth is coming out. Your videos and documentation have been crucial in revealing the truth behind those claims.

Tasmania once criminalised people for being gay or for cross-dressing. Yesterday Tasmania's Parliament finally passed laws to erase those convictions and offer redress for the harm caused. This is justice decades overdue.

We make no apologies for blocking Labor’s disastrous bill to kill FOI. The task for this Parliament is to make government more transparent and more accountable. Right now the Albanese government is the greatest obstacle to that.

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

When you're a sociopath and get angry that someone else's medical emergency, just four feet away, drew focus from your gloating and you forget which lie you were on.
