In Australia men kill more than 1 women a week, approx. 1 in 3 women experiences physical violence & 1 in 5 experiences sexual violence. Men routinely make vile comments about women on social media. But do tell about these Australian values of tolerance & compassion, that eschew fanatical violence.

May Victor Orbán simply be the first in a string of countries engaging in overdue housecleaning by kicking their authoritarian leaders to the curb.

‘Everything is gone’: Israel destroys entire villages in Lebanon

This is a really important story. If Europe makes Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) with products of beef farming linked with tropical deforestation, then we're only decarbonising on paper and getting nowhere.

Freedom isn’t freedom if it excludes others. Discrimination isn’t just a human issue - it’s a mindset that justifies oppressing anyone for arbitrary reasons. Every being is born deserving of love. Reject oppression. Go vegan.

At some point the political wall of unquestioning support for Israel will start to break down in Australia as well. Israel's continuing actions render it untenable; fiction can only be sustained for so long. Labor will go first, but watch the teals too.

"The average size of wild animal populations has collapsed by > 73% in the last 50 years. Vast swathes of rainforests & other ecosystems have been destroyed. The oceans are being emptied of life. Microplastics riddle the environment and our bodies...Warm water coral reefs are being exterminated..."

People sell wild animals for food and for traditional medicine — legally and illegally. A study looks at the risks of spillover diseases from those pangolins, giant rats and other exotic critters. n.pr/4cBJfqg

Public support for Israel in the US is falling sharply, with younger voters leading the shift and political consequences already emerging, Julia Conley writes. #Israel #USPolitics #Gaza #MiddleEast

a massive global overview of policies enacted in response to the latest fossil fuel crisis. Terrifying how many of these will help lock in fossil fuel reliance, worsen climate pollution, suck money from governments and subsidise rich people's overconsumption www.iea.org/data-and-sta...

Netanyahu is successfully loosing the international support for Israel, even in US!

It is very easy to become accustomed to Trump’s ravings, and laugh them off. That’s a dangerous thing to do. When Trump states: “A whole civilization will die tonight,” he is threatening to commit genocide. We can’t allow that to happen. Congress must end this war NOW.

Trump is holding an entire nation hostage. But, somehow, the rest of the world continues on. The markets chug along. Congress continues to be in recess, with dissent confined largely to social media. It is hard not to feel like we have failed some critical test of the bounds of our own humanity.

Trump has proven his genocidal intent. Australia is providing surveillance and targeting support for US military strikes. Albanese must withdraw resources otherwise we will be complicit in any war crimes involving mass casualties

Tomorrow we either get TACO Trump or War Criminal Trump. You never know which on any given day.

The tens of billions of dollars being used for the orange felon’s illegal Iran War and war crimes could’ve been used for so many things including affordable healthcare programs, to feed the hungry or for educational programs. Disgusting.

Congratulation to Astronaut Christina Koch to be the first woman in history to get that far away from dangerous sexual predator Donald Trump.

It really isn’t mentioned enough that President Obama left office with record low unemployment, record GDP growth and low gas prices even after being handed the worst economic disaster since the Great Depression.

I love the way Ukrainians take care of animals disrupted by the war.💙💛

Make no mistake, Putin is the one true puppet master!

More than time for EU to end all agreements and collaboration with Israel! @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu

Damn. #CovidIsNotOver

The latest article from @philip-ciwf.bsky.social is a must read. ⬇️

BREAKING: Legislation to end greyhound racing has now officially been made law in Aotearoa New Zealand. Today marked the third and final reading of the bill in Parliament, which passed with overwhelming support 112 votes to 11. The ban will take effect from 1 August 2026.

Yet again @albomp.bsky.social puts business and profit ahead of protecting lives and families. Your supposed gambling reforms are laughable. Truly pathetic. Shame on you!

Fish not only feel fear — they can sense when their friends are afraid too. Whether we have feet or fins, we all want the same basic things — safety, respect, freedom. 💙

Grass-fed or not grass-fed, the cruelty is the same. #DairyIsScary

While conflict escalates, animals are still being transported into war zones. 🚨 Exposed to extreme stress, danger, and suffering. This cannot continue. @ec.europa.eu, you cannot continue to ignore us. Please act NOW. www.eurogroupforanimals.org/news/animals...

Greyhound racing can't end soon enough. It's a cruel "sport" that hurts animals and people. #gambling

A disgraceful move by the National Press Club to platform Israel’s ambassador to Australia today after Israel overnight introduced an apartheid death penalty regime for Palestinians.

A former greyhound racing insider tells how he reached "breaking point" with the industry, as a parliamentary inquiry into the sport in WA begins.

CATTLE FORCED INTO CYCLONE 🌪️ Amanda Dorn MP: "Another appalling example of the live export industry having no regard for animal welfare. Instead, they have sent thousands of animals off into a cyclone. "It's heartbreaking and it's why live export needs to be banned." Follow: bit.ly/4rQwk8l #WAPol

To be in any way associated with the Melbourne Cup is not honourable. Not at all. #gambling #HorseRacingKills

Today, I moved an amendment that would remove tax benefits from donations to orgs who support illegal occupation, but the Labor gov voted it down. Another example of their complicity in the ethnic cleansing of Palestine. You can’t claim to support a Palestinian state while funding its destruction.
