The US DOJ is such a nakedly political organisation, rather than a justice one, that Australia should end its extradition treaty with the US. We should never send people to be tried in their brutal, murderous, unjust farce of a system.

The shame of what our government has done will endure and must be taught for generations to come.

Whenever a data center opens up in your neighborhood and doubles your utility rates, think of Open AI.

Sounds like we'd be better off if our ministers never meet with this idiot extremist

Sure but rightwing politicians got a lot of power by riling people into smashing up the global disease response system humanity had carefully built over a century.

Capitalism ruins everything it touches, particularly private companies contracting to government.

OpenAI Announces Construction Of New Data Center On Top Of Sick Child

Expel the ambassador

Israeli psychopathy on full display. It’s never too soon to drag the sadistic thug Ben-Gvir to The Hague.

Amnesty International has said Israel’s insistence on stopping the Global Sumud Flotilla, which was heading towards the coast of the Gaza Strip in an attempt to break the Israeli blockade, is “shameful and inhumane”. www.middleeastmonitor.com/20260519-amn...

Maybe its time for decent governments to send military ships to protect their citizens from the pirates and kidnappers from Israel.

This man should be in the Hague

A regime of criminal thugs

Tomorrow's front page 📰 Israel kidnaps Scottish flotilla activist

Zeteo demands that Israel immediately release activists, humanitarians, and journalists it abducted from the Global Sumud Flotilla, including our contributor Alex Colston.

Piracy and kidnapping. They have zero right to do this. This is a crime.

Israel is hijacking flotilla boats carrying baby formula and food for children in Gaza. The United States of Israel is truly pathetic and despised by the world.

Where are our governments? This criminal regime thinks it can kidnap people in international waters. What fucking right do they think they have to do this? Israel is a lawless pariah state that should be sanctioned.

Is it even a question?

"One growing frustration among transgender voters and allies is the perception that many Democratic politicians still treat transgender rights as politically risky territory rather than a central civil rights issue."

When is Chris Minns, with his support for genocide, hatred of trans people, and willingness to just lie about tax for the benefit of rich people, going to just join One Nation?

Just a reminder - you only pay 47% tax on income earned *above* $190,000. If you earn $200,000 you pay an average tax rate of around 30%.

ANAO also finds the bureaucracy's repeated claim, that they are being overwhelmed by AI-generated FOI applications is false. Instead it finds people are looking for help to navigate the complex world of FOI, and some people are relying on boilerplate to make applications.

Another enormous fail by the LNP and Scummo

There was no need to extend the Collins subs' life until Defence botched buying new ones - French subs & #AUKUS. So we now have a Collins extension program that's gone from $1B to $5B to $11B, all while the extension work has been scaled back. 🤦‍♂️ #auspol

Ho boy, some fresh BoardGameGeek drama for you -- not only is their site moderation openly and virulently transphobic, but also apparently if you wanna buy ad space on there, your advertisement cannot be for any games that would upset a fundamentalist Christian.

What.

The budget's NDIS cuts are indefensible, but of course the national media are instead attacking it for the bit where rich people might finally have to pay tax on their income - you know, like workers do (except in reality still at a lower rate). www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

The sheer gall of Rubio, criticising WHO for lack of capacity to tackle Ebola right after the US gutted it. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Renee: I don't like what's been done to people like me by the rich, but what if it's ACTUALLY people worse off than me (who I'm only one paycheck from joining). I will vote for a party determined to help the rich rob me, as long as it kicks those people even harder. www.sbs.com.au/news/insight...

It's like billionaire support and promotion by the entire media, corporate and public, can improve a party's vote! Who knew?

Google is going to make it impossible to use Google and although I’m worried about the damage this is going to do, I also hope it encourages us all to de-Google our lives as much as possible

*a synagogue promoting real estate sales in Israel* An example of when protesting outside a synagogue is not "anti-semitism" but a necessary place to fight land theft by Israel

Your reminder that @albomp.bsky.social and @senatorwong.bsky.social 𝘦𝘵 𝘢𝘭. have still not lifted even one little finger to meet Australia's OBLIGATIONS UNDER INTERNATIONAL LAW to stop Israel's genocide of Palestinians or other ongoing crimes against humanity. #auspol #GazaHolocaust #Lebanon #Iran

Google is terrible. Abandon ship immediately.

google has been trash for years now

DuckDuckGo is an okay, free alternative. It's not perfect either, but a much better option than Google. If you use their browser, you can even watch ad-free Youtube videos through their own player. (I'm using a mix of Firefox + Ecosia and DuckDuckGo, depending on what I need.)

Time for everyone to stop using google and switch to actual search engines.

Imagine being enough of a sucker to vote for someone to rob you like this

He thinks he's a king

The criminal regime in Israel again brazenly committing acts of piracy and kidnapping in international waters, and Australia blames the people Israel is assaulting rather than condemning the lawless regime committing these crimes.

You could stop promoting these lying extremists and test them and their stupid old ideas.

Absolutely worthless coverage by SBS of the LNP's attack on trans people. Uncritically repeating meaningless terms like "biological sex" and "sex based rights" as if they have clear objective meanings. Uncritically referencing the ludicrous UK decision last year. www.sbs.com.au/news/article...

Note that property investors get grandfathered changes, but NDIS participants do not. So our Government is effectively saying property investors deserve the dignity of maintaining their current comfort levels, but people with disabilities do not.

Trump and Elon are going to cause this ebola outbreak to get everywhere

Ridiculous that they stayed on the Nazi site so long. What was the final straw?

About bloody time

Collins submarines were meant to be retired this decade. But thanks to AUKUS, the Government is dropping $11 billion to try and keep them going decades longer, why? Because we are not getting the nuclear submarines for a decade if ever. $11 bn more washed down the AUKUS drain.
