how on this burning earth did the billionaire media and social media owners who are killing our only planet and gave wall to wall coverage to the racism party convince voters in a Nation founded on racist violence to vote for the racism party🔍🔍 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Tim Wilson denies CGT discounts are tax breaks & quickly pivots to promoting his new data-harvesting site - asking ppl to sign up to fight a ‘tax raid’ on a benefit he won't admit exists. Franking Credits playbook is back. Same salesman, same grift, diff tax break🙄 #auspol

🔥Tanya Plibersek fires up on Sunrise shutting down noise from Nat Barr & Barnaby Joyce to unload on One Nation’s record saying they’re “pretty good at having a whinge” “not so great at finding solutions”- while they vote against the very people they claim to represent💥 #auspol

Commissioner Bell challenges Frydenberg-led Dor Foundation CEO Tahli Blicblau on credibility of their research questioning if they ignore fact that spikes in antisemitism coincide with Israel’s wars, calls out Dor’s surveys that use “Zionism” as “proxy for being a Jew”💥 #auspol

There really isn't sufficient attention being paid to the fact that the person bankrolling Pauline Hanson - Gina Rinehart - is a fanatical Trump supporter.

😡🇬🇧😡🇬🇧😡🇬🇧😡🇬🇧 From Threads. This is what Nigel Farage and his Hatefest politics has allowed to happen. If Keir Starmer resigns, he will *claim* it as a direct ‘result’ Of his campaigning. For that reason alone, he must stay.

Art is political, that’s why govts and zionists are hell bent on silencing artists. You don’t see finance & tech bros out here standing up for human rights. Artists are the moral compass #venicebiennale

"A universal basic income would also put a small dent in the deficit created by the mountain of uncompensated labor done mostly by women — mostly by moms. This Mother’s Day, my wish for all mothers is a universal basic income."

For whatever it’s worth, One Nation could be stopped tomorrow if the media knew how to do its job.

The Australian mainstream media uses the phrases "ISIS brides" and "ISIS-linked" to vilify women & children in their fear-mongering commentary! Yet there's no similar "IDF-linked" headlines for Australians who've served with Israel's military in #Gaza?! Nothing. #auspol #GazaGenocide #terrorism

Civic orgs engaging & legitimising Pauline Hanson & OneNation reps may be congratulating themselves as PHON's ⭐ rises But as a queer, female, Asian, migrant scientist living on unceded Indigenous land, I ask you to stand against PHON's racism, Islamophobia, misogyny, hate-mongering & disinformation

Meanwhile, let's keep pretending there is no #GazaGenocide. No crimes against humanity. No war crimes. And Israel is only....defending itself.

Tim Wilson who describes One Nation as “despicable” & “toxic”, is now open to forming an alliance with them if it’ll help put Libs in “a position to govern” Trading any remaining principles just for power. No wonder they are going extinct. #auspol

🌳 Did you know that a single mature tree produces enough oxygen for 2 to 4 people every single day? Forests aren't just scenery; they are the world’s lungs. Without them, our basic survival is at risk. #Sustainability #EcoFacts

When #Liberals #Natrionals announced that they would direct their preferences to One Nation in #Farrer Election they were seen by all to have publicly passed the baton to them as new leaders of #Conservatives. It was an act of crude stupidity.

grateful to Jeff Buckley. to his spirit for being a man who was not a Christian but loved religious themes. my siblings were able to trick our preacher father into loving JB. we showed him Hallelujah out of context, was convinced. I would not be the same without having grown up with these songs

The referendum unleashed the forces at play here. Racism, as an open political tactic was legitimatised in public discourse and wasn’t pushed back against enough by the mainstream parties including Labor. Now we have a party with race hate at its core, now a major player in federal politics.

Andrew Hastie has found himself in what sources close to him describe as a coordinated online misinformation campaign being amplified by prominent media personalities such as Karl Stefanovic, reports Jason Koutsoukis. satpa.pe/clT5n3n

Iran stands out as a remarkably steadfast nation, willing to endure heavy economic and security burdens to uphold its unwavering commitment to Palestine; a testament to prioritizing principle over self-interest.

Destany Pete researched an Indigenous chokecherry recipe and achieved promising “in vitro” results on cancer cells. Her science project gained international recognition for combining traditional knowledge with modern laboratory experimentation.

Name one policy One Nation has proposed or supported that addresses wealth inequality, distributes wealth or furthers the interests of people who aren’t already rich. You can’t do it because there isn’t one.

One Nation frames itself as “for the little guy” while serving the interests of billionaires like Gina Rinehart. They are a con artist party. Of course the media will never frame it this way. There’s no structural analysis in horserace journalism. By design.

Seems my sister has just launched a leadership challenge to Keir Starmer #gocath

Here’s how this Data Center’s generators starts up in the morning in Florida. Notice the constant stream of heavy black smoke... Remember how just a few years ago, using electricity and diesel caused climate change, but now data centers use as much power as cities and it's no problem...🤬🤬🤬

Now would be the right time to bring Tony Abbott in as Federal President of the Liberal Party. He was one of the major instigators of the problem so he should know how to fix it. Well done Angus! Sharp thinking.

It is inexcusable that the current Labor Prime Minister will not take advantage of the opportunity he has to entrench these rights – rights we have solemnly promised to protect in all the relevant international treaties Australia has ratified – in a National Human Rights Act.’

This will deliver the infrastructure like roads, water and power needed to get housing projects over the line. Building more homes and helping more Australians get into the housing market is a big focus of the Budget that we’ll hand down on Tuesday.

Anus Taylor “we have for too long used the politics of convenience rather than the politics of conviction.” Note: he preferenced the party that just destroyed his party. What the fuck is he talking about?

Lovely tree frog (Ranita meridional in Spanish) I spotted on Montjuïc, Barcelona. Orwell perhaps saw them on Aragon front in 1937: "Round the drinking-pool that served for the village mules I found exquisite green frogs the size of a penny, so brilliant that the young grass looked dull beside them"

Sometimes I am embarrassed to be a white man. I have never seen such a bunch of pussies. The most targeted people, in their own minds, are straight white men. Grow a set. No one is targeting us. You bring on all your own hate by trying to take rights away from everyone else, dumbasses. #USDemocracy
