SA Socialists' statement on Iran

SA Socialists' comment on Writers' Week and Isaac Herzog's Visit.

Thousands of people in the Twin Cities are mobilizing against ICE. Federal agents roam the city attacking people at random—but everywhere they go, they meet resistance. What happens in the Twin Cities will determine what happens to us all. Don't surrender to fascism. crimethinc.com/ICEmurder2026

By concentrating their forces on the Twin Cities, ICE is attempting to break the spirit of the whole country, erase the legacy of the George Floyd uprising, and set a precedent that they can repeat everywhere. But if ICE can converge, so can everyone else. All out to the Twin Cities to resist them.

A Department of Homeland Security whistleblower has released the identities of about 4,500 ICE and Border Patrol employees Tuesday in what has been called potentially the largest agency data breach for the department.

Can I just say that's the fanciest public toilet I've ever seen.

The govt has launched a new TikTok that shows videos of people being handcuffed, bundled into police cars and frogmarched into detention centres. Why? It's a cruel, desperate bid for attention from a government failing to actually improve people's lives www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/labour...

The broader takeaway: in saturated authoritarian media environments, raising awareness of disinformation does not necessarily build resilience. It can strengthen propaganda by giving citizens ready-made tools for epistemic self-defence. 6/7

These effects are asymmetric. Political narratives equip regime supporters with cognitive tools to dismiss counter-attitudinal information as disinformation. The mechanism is weaker among regime critics, reflecting the regime’s monopolisation of the disinformation label. 5/7

US is speed running towards another uprising.

Protester blinded, skull fractured by DHS agent during Santa Ana demonstration, family says

"In the aftermath of the Bondi atrocity, state and federal governments have rushed to mollify the “we told you so” posse. With alarming insouciance protests are being outlawed, free speech is being constrained and politicians are rushing through processes to ban phrases and slogans."

First track off this experimental techno-hop thing I'm doing. monartosafariland.bandcamp.com/track/terror...

Politicians and people who only loosely can be called “journalists” have attributed meaning to Dr Abdel-Fattah’s words that are just so far away from her actual words. You don’t have a right to “cultural safety” if you think Palestinian children should be blown up — it’s absurd.

Human decisions are removed from strategic defense. MechaHitler begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug. MechaHitler fights back.

A whole bunch of artists and cultural workers have lost work because of the implosion of Adelaide Writers week — writers, producers, stage crew, front of house. None of this was their fault. Something for the Labor premier to think about

Well the election season must be officially starting, just saw my 1st SALibs political ad of the season.

13/ Calls to “think like advertising executives” capture one core insight of #climate social science: framing matters. But no amount of clever framing can overcome hostile media ecosystems that undermine collective solutions That requires media system reform & governance, not just messaging tweaks

10/ Across heat extremes, food systems, biodiversity loss & compound risks, assessments have worsened. The increasing use of terms like #ClimateEmergency reflects this escalation. Alarm is warranted by the data, not by ideology.

7/ This creates a circular dynamic: the media constructs a reality in which #climate action equals loss & resentment, then later cites that mediated resistance as proof that climate ambition itself was misguided. As Bakaki et al. explain... www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

3/ Concern about #climate change has not collapsed, it remains high & remarkably stable. What has eroded is perceived political & economic efficacy: people increasingly doubt that governments will regulate powerful actors effectively or deliver transitions without unfairly shifting costs

2/ He frames public disengagement with #climate action as a failure of environmental messaging But social science shows disengagement is driven less by rejection of change, &more by declining belief that institutions will act credibly, fairly, & at scale 10insightsclimate.science/year-2024/pu...

LOL dumbasses, racists pushing for anti-racism measures then going "ohhhh shit this means I can't say racist shit"

After spending weeks criticising the Albanese government over the Bondi terror attack and issues around antisemitism in Australia, the Coalition is now split over whether the solutions proposed are at odds with its broader interests in preserving freedom of speech.

What's Amy complaining about? It's a well-known fact that the father-and-son duo who allegedly undertook the Bondi Beach shootings were well-known Palestinian-Australian academics & novelists armed with ARC funding & writing awards.

LOL what even is this false equivalent, he's proposing. No Palestinian committed Bondi, IS don't support a free Palestine they support a global Caliphate. He's just digging himself deeper and deeper.

Gots me one of those NewsCorpse shirts from Michael West Media. 🤌

This is a relief. This lot of haters forming an official Australian political party would have been the stuff of nightmares. It won't be the end of them, but it throws a well timed spanner into their plans. #auspol

Experts who track neo-Nazis call the development a big blow for the NSN, but warn the group, which is not renouncing Nazism, is far from done. www.theage.com.au/national/tru...

Abolishing the Dept of Ed was a multi-decade project of the Right and it took a fascist regime to finally start to do it. Dem elites and politicians have no such investment in dismantling ICE and we can see that in real time. There's also no movement of its voters threatening them on the matter.

They're giving themselves more power to strip away rights. Why would our political and ruling class want anti-war protests, protests against western imperialism in the middle east, etc. The less rights you have to organize, or invoke protest through cultural production the better in their eyes.

What is the end game here? No publicly funded cultural events that aren’t approved by Israel? No arts boards that aren’t pro-Israel? The sections of our political class and media who are active in this attempted gutting of our cultural landscape need to ask wtf they are doing here.

I’m mean I’m sure if Cathy had known they were going to quote verbatim everything she said then she’d have said a lot more

Let's just hope we don't end up with the Tesla Tour Down Under.

Well, damn. Ready or Not 2 and They Will Kill You drop on the same day? That's gonna be a hell of a double feature.

We did a ride along. Not with law enforcement. But with the Minneapolis residents defending their communities from those very officers. @premthakker.bsky.social's front-row seat at ICE's psychological warzone in Minnesota — and how residents are banding together against it:
