I don’t know what to get anyone for the holidays. Why is everyone so difficult to shop for. Unlike me, who is so easy to shop for, because I only want unconditional love, constant attention, and diamonds

From 11.45 am today in the Senate Estimates hearing I will be asking questions of the Anti-Semitism Commissioner. You can watch online here www.youtube.com/watch?v=wblc...

It’s hard to capture in a pic the size/energy of the crowd ready to march over the Syd Harbour Bridge but the station announcer at Wynyard:“don’t worry about tapping off, Transport NSW will work it out, gates are open, you’re heading for George St to the park, keep going, let’s free Palestine” 💕💕

I’ve seen estimate of 100,000-300,000 people in today’s march. A sobering thought: these are also the conservative (100k) realistic (300k) estimates of people israel massacred in Gaza.

German public media are running fact checks on just how starving individual children are, while serious journalists propose that maybe the children are predisposed to hunger due to inbreeding (also they have low IQ, apparently). Germany unhinged is a truly terrifying spectacle.

Denazification was never completed

Glen Le Livre's infamous cartoon made flesh.

The New York Times has helped to enable and sustain Israel’s ongoing genocide. A new dossier reveals the close ties of 20 top editors, executives, and journalists at the Times who have covered Gaza and their connection to Israel and Zionism. mondoweiss.net/2025/07/the-...

there are 100,000 watching the Lions vs Wallabies game in Melb tonight. That, by conservative estimates, is the death toll in Gaza: an entire stadium of people, gone (the realistic death toll is 4 x this)

Me in @crikey.com.au about Jillian Segal's plan to "combat antisemitism". In universities, repression is already present. This is already the climate that we work, teach, and study in. Segal's plan, if adopted, will make our conditions much more precarious www.crikey.com.au/2025/07/15/i...

my @newyorker.com column this week goes in depth on how using AI makes us less original, unique, and creative as writers, thinkers, and communicators. Various new studies are proving that AI is a rampant force of homogenization: www.newyorker.com/culture/infi...

a very small gripe in the scheme of things, but I remember the days when fascist leaders had to be charismatic, powerful orators to sweep a nation in their bloodthirst. This dude announces WW3 like a failed middle manager on the verge of a breakdown

They just wanted flour. Israel gave them bullets. This is not war , it’s hunger genocide. They died with empty hands, hoping to feed their kids. Flour bags on backs. Bodies on wooden planks. We carry both now. Gaza is starving , and bleeding.

BREAKING: Gaza’s civil defence agency says Israeli troops shot and killed at least 20 hungry Palestinians and wounded hundreds of others while they waited for food at a Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) aid site. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/oq5i6c

We are hiring a Lecturer - Sociology. This is a mixed-track role in the School of Social Sciences, UNSW. The best School there is. Come join our quality team! Please share widely external-careers.jobs.unsw.edu.au/cw/en/job/53...

The DC shooter's neighbor was perfectly on message. Solidarity, sir.

I initially shared the 14,000 babies figure reported by BBC after it was said by a UN leader. The time reference of all those babies’ impending starvation death was inaccurate. I have now deleted that video. My sadness & heartbreak over orchestrated harm to human life remains

Via Haaretz: Netanyahu has repeated his mission, saying “we are going to take over all of Gaza”, admitting that aid is being allowed in, only because Israel’s reputation is being damaged. Yet our politicians pretend that Israel is not committing genocide or ethnic cleansing. A disgrace.

Nah, the Oz media is still dancing to Israel’s tune, even when they are stepping up the genocide. Shocked I tells ya.

Anything to say, at all, about this? I’ve only been waiting 19 months Curious to know whether Aus, under your gov, still supports International Law and the Geneva Convention? @albomp.bsky.social #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...

I have a request. Please set aside 10 minutes today to read this article from my friend & human rights expert, Noam Peleg. Don’t scroll without opening the link to your web browser. Once you read it, sit with your rage & grief. Send it to someone. talk about it. groundup.org.za/article/yoli...

the only rewards are this: the decline of conservative media & of Zionist institutions as political forces that have thrown their support behind a political party that failed in an historical way the two are connected

here’s to 3 more years of a cowardly, spineless political party that will take no meaningful action on anything, except gaslighting us into thinking this is the best we can do

When we call for politicians to "do something," this is what we mean. Not speeches or op-eds or campaign rallies, but using every tool available to disrupt the advance of fascism.

If you're close with him, can you please reach out so I can keep you updated? For slightly stupid reasons that Anthony would specifically hate, his family doesn't have his phone at the moment, and so we can't get people's phone numbers. His wife and son are being supported as best we all can.

I know my brother @swearyanthony.bsky.social has a lot of people he cares about on here. While not everyone knows about the connection, a lot of people who follow me also follow him. This seemed like a way to get the word out: Anthony is currently in ICU in a critical condition after a head injury.

The Nationals get less support nationally than the Greens, but have an outsized influence over policy. This is who the deputy prime minister would be under a Coalition government. It's not a fringe view – it's the leader of the junior coalition partner saying we don't think some kids deserve rights

The Nationals leader has just said children who commit crimes should have their civil rights "put aside" if anyone was wondering how the campaign was going.

We have let this terrorist, genocidal state get away with a holocaust.

Today is NTEU Rank & File National Day of Action on Palestine. What a privilege to speak about Palestine on the unceded lands of the Bedegal people, where UNSW’s campus is located. We don’t stop until Palestine is free. Until we are all free.

Today, mothers and fathers in Gaza are mourning their children because governments across the world did not deem their lives worthy of protection.

BREAKING: At least 100 Palestinians, including many children, have been killed in Israeli airstrikes across the Gaza Strip as Israeli officials threaten a ground invasion, according to Reuters. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/191eo5

UNSW NTEU passed two important motions: 1. opposing the UA working definition of antisemitism, a racist & dangerous definition 2. solidarity with Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah & condemning Education Minister’s political interference in ARC independence Motions passed w 96% majority.

Gaza is under attack, being bombed heavily. Those people. What a horrible fucking world.

Horrible news: The ceasefire is officially over, Israel is attacking the Gaza Strip. I've seen a lot of sketchy ad websites and twitter reposts linked, but here it is from the Associated Press & Gazans you might follow on here are saying it too. apnews.com/article/isra...

And a Columbia Professor doxxed him. #FreeMahmoudKhalil

Happy international women’s day to all our male allies. We couldn’t have done this without you 🥰

Part of Randa Abdul-Fattah’s project is to build an Arab-Australia archive. The ARC’s threat to cancel it is another layer of racism Arabs face. Listen to Randa & @jumanabayeh.bsky.social talking about the archive project youtu.be/RAcpDKPaKtE?...

Fascinating how normal intelligent people outside Victoria understand the benefit of these basic reforms. Which local media pretend are wildly unpopular and hugely destructive

a neighbour has starting using their flat as Airbnb, which has made me learn how pathetic NSW Labour are for not following VIC footsteps and putting levys and restrictions on Airbnbs. I don’t need more things to get angry about, but there you go.

Now that musk is saying he’s doing the DOGE stuff “because the globalists have plotted a Great Replacement in which they use government handouts to buy votes from illegal immigrants and urban blacks” maybe we don’t have to act like this is about deficits or cost cutting anymore

Well worth a read. This is one of the biggest media companies in the world plotting to sow division in Australia at a time of heightened concerns about what the government loves to call “social cohesion”. Where is the outrage from the government? Where are the repercussions for the perpetrators?

reminder to centre members of the Stolen Generations tomorrow (13/2). If you're a settler, no one needs to hear you politicise or twist the Apology. An apology that was a recommendation in Bringing Them Home report - it meant something to many who were stolen. So please, shut up & listen

If you’re in academia you have an obligation now more than ever: teach and talk about Palestine. About the Gaza genocide. About racial and colonial violence that tries to undo us all. About power, race, and capital. Talk about Palestine. Don’t be quiet.

They’ve updated to “brazen.”

Amy explains the purpose of our live blog: "what we do hope to do is add in some context where needed and do as many fact checks as possible at the time the fact needs to be checked. And well, you have a bit more freedom to call some of that stuff out at a think tank." live.australiainstitute.org.au

This banner is on many CDC pages, including one about communicating with people with disabilities. science doesn’t change to suit the whim’s of a fascist. Updating public health data in this manner is censorship, and it’s what the Nazis did in Germany. Science is the enemy of authoritarians.

Just a reminder that the ABC decided not to settle this case even after they knew it would go to discovery
