The Atlantic’s profile of Bondi has some wow. @theatlantic.com www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

Gee, Universal Basic Income recoups more than it costs AND the recipients are happier and healthier. Hmmm. Where have I seen those results before? Oh yes, in every other goddam pilot study of UBI for more than a decade. Ireland joins Finland in at least making a start.

ICE is currently holding around 80,000 detainees. Nazi Germany didn't reach this number in its formal camp system until 1942, nine years after seizing power and three years into the war.

It appears that NSW Police and the relevant ministers (Minns, Catley, and Kamper) have totally failed to manage the events of this evening. We were told the Major Events Act powers were needed to prevent chaos in the CBD — but what do you call this? Tear gas, pepper spray, crowd control collapsing.

🎵When the bombs are signed, we sign together Told you I'll ban protests forever Said I'll always be your friend Took an oath, I'ma stick it to civil liberties until the end Now that there’s more restraining than ever Know that we'll still have each other You can stand under my umbrella🎵

I have no idea how this got out of my pocket and onto the wall of the train 😇

www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... Make no mistake. This is by design, no accident. They jack up the cost of humanities, focus solely on stem... For what? To churn out more techbros???????

all talent really is? It's one thing that you have a knack for right away. That's all it is. it is a single pea buried in the mattresses of practice. You don't even have to have that one thing. Harping on talent is how they keep you from trusting you can do it. it's a grift.

Once again, it turns out “fully autonomous” means “a guy in the Philippines.”

GM: Charisma check. Mamdani: [rolls natural 20] GM: that’s a d6 how did you Mamdani: [direct to camera] Did you know you can check out board games at your local public library? 😊

I am honestly reeling that he refused a meeting with Noongar elders on their own Country after a terror event. The comparisons write themselves, but this is an objective wrong on its own terms. The IED thrown on 26 Jan in Boorloo is actually designated, yes belatedly, by the colony itself.

I have a 30 minute oration about how Au defo laws shape everything you see and hear in this country's media landscape. If some organisation or group of organisations cannot use *Epstein plotting to weaponise Au defo law to kill inquiry into his wrongdoing* to push for reform, we have no hope.

Scoop: Australia's online gambling watchdog has ruled that using "prediction markets" like Polymarket is gambling. It's a landmark decision that's at odds odds with the US where Polymarket has sidestepped gambling regulation by arguing it offers financial services www.crikey.com.au/20...

Australians won't forget that @albomp.bsky.social @australianlabor.bsky.social & the rest of our corrupt #auspol duopoly gov not only remained silent, it help facilitate with weapons exports, not imposing sanctions, they also welcomed an Israeli bomb signing PM to a state visit.

NEW: The unfathomable Minnesota transcript that must be read, as it tells the reality of America today. "I am not white, as you can see," Julie Le — a government lawyer — told a federal judge on Tuesday. "And my family's at risk as any other people that might get picked up too ..." Law Dork:

holy shit

shocked that the guy who runs the kiddie porn generator kept trying to get an invitation to the special island where pedophiles hunt middle-schoolers for sport

Repost. Repost. Repost.

A little girl in Portland, OR after being tear gassed by ICE. what the actual fuck.

MINNESOTA — Mom goes outside to warm up her car, ICE grabs her: "Please, my car kids are all alone in the house!” So nothing has changed and Homan was just to put a new face on the cruelty, got it (H/T longtimehistory)

“Danes are turning to mobile apps to scan everyday products and boycott those associated with the US. … The most popular — UdenUSA (Danish for Without the USA) — is now the No. 1 free-to-download application in Apple’s App Store in Denmark, after seeing a sudden surge in recent weeks.”

You know how they're opening an FBI office in NZ? How long till ICE is in NZ, targeting Pacific Islanders? Targetting refugees? Targeting activists?? Calling everyone 'terrorists'. The writing is on the fucking wall. Now, is the time to ask Labour where they stand BEFORE the election. #nzpol

Israeli Forces Demolish UNRWA Buildings in “Unprecedented Attack”. UNRWA’s head called the attack “a new level of open and deliberate defiance of international law” by Israel. truthout.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?...

Minneapolis protester as he's being brutalized by feds: "You're gonna have to kill me! You're gonna have to kill me! I've done nothing wrong! My name is Matthew James! I'm a US citizen! You're gonna kill me! Is that what you want?" (You can hear his wife screaming)

Just remember that right now the Albanese Govt is spending billions to the fund the USA military.

Not in my name. End AUKUS now. #auspol

There’s a rally going on in Boston rn and they’re chanting “we’re not cold, we’re not afraid, MN taught us to be brave!” and I might cry

Wake up. Make breakfast. Do email. Watch a murder. Go to a party for a 5 year old. Laugh with my daughter. See a different angle of that murder. Hear govt officials slander the victim. Play Barbies with my kid. Feed her dinner. Tear up at that victim reading last honors to a vet. Put kid to bed. USA

Of course, ICE should be abolished but it wasn't ICE who committed the latest attrocity, it was Border Patrol. And there are other ways the Trump Regime could terrorise if ICE is curtailed. You've got to get congress to get them *all out*, Americans. Not just ICE, every single evil one of them.

Israeli soldiers are acting like bandits across West Bank— looting homes & carrying out armed theft. Today, Israeli army detained 2 men near Atara checkpoint outside Ramallah & stole 500$ from one & 700$ from the other. Meanwhile Israelis calling to burn the entire town of Atara to the ground.

“Get it all on record now — get the films — get the witnesses — because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened.” Dwight D. Eisenhower, after visiting liberated concentration camps in April 1945

We want to set the record so he is remembered for what he did. Alex put his body between a woman and imminent danger (murderous thugs(ICE)), and he lost his life.

Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old U.S. citizen and Minneapolis resident, was murdered by ICE today. He was a lawful gun owner. Our government saw his Second Amendment right as a threat and executed him in the streets.

Iran was threatened for killing protesters. After two killings in America, is it ok for Iran to now threaten America for killing protesters?

Boycott the World Cup. Boycott the Olympics.

Imagine what’s happening in the camps.

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

With the video of ICE murdering Alex Pretti circulating, and constant updates that don't actually provide any information, it's useful to remember: Look But Don't Stare Being informed and aware is important. Being traumatised by footage of a murder isn't. It is okay to not absorb everything.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will skip the signing of US President Donald Trump’s “Board of Peace” in Davos after Switzerland confirmed it would enforce the ICC arrest warrant over war crimes in Gaza.
