Seems like one of those issues that should greatly concern everyone regardless of their politics.

A new report from the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) has ranked Israel as the third worst jailer of journalists in the world, behind only China and Myanmar, in a damning indictment of the state’s escalating war on press freedom. Read: www.middleeastmonitor.com/20260129-des...

America your president is posting hundreds of deranged and vile things on his Truth Social. It’s so embarrassing for you. #25thAmendnent now?

FIFA ex-President Blatter backs call to boycott World Cup. "For the fans, there's only one piece of advice: Stay away from the USA!" Pieth told Swiss paper Der Bund. #StopAmericanFascism #Wrldpoli🌐 #WorldCupBoycott🚫 www.dw.com/en/fifa-ex-p...

How can the world cup go ahead when citizens/players of 4 qualified countries can't enter the country? And if trump invades Iran what will the impact be for their participation Aren't FIFA pretty big on "no politics" at football?

“Hosting President Herzog ...sends a deeply troubling message about Australia’s commitment to accountability and respect for international law during an active genocide, the World’s longest occupation and apartheid regime that is a crime against humanity." #auspol www.amnesty.org.au/if-australia...

United Nations special rapporteur seeks to join challenge to NSW government's protest restrictions. ABC News Australia. You know, as a western country, you're in trouble. When the UN special rapporteur wants to join a case on protest restrictions in your country. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

China, for the past couple of years, has deployed as many wind farms and solar panels as the rest of the world combined. It's also exporting its solar tech on a massive scale, bringing down the price of electricity across the globe.🌞🌬 Big oil is fighting to stop free, clean energy. BIG OIL MUST FAIL

Gaza does not need another phase or “Board.” Gaza needs legal redress for an Israeli system of cruelty. It must be granted unimpeded ingress and egress by land, sea, and air. Gaza must not be condemned to survive as a managed humanitarian dependency, rationed by aid and policed by donors.

Fossil fuel, meat and livestock producers have been funding far-right movements, to stifle environmental protection measures that would reduce their profits. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Just watched a post from a shark expert on ways to assess the danger from sharks in and around Sydney's waterways (given recent events) and I think I'll stick to my proven strategy of facing sharks where they're at their weakest: on land.

I can't figure out which one's the comic relief and which one's the straight guy. 🤔

Kids should be in community, NOT incarcerated. What a disgrace that children are inhumanely treated and imprisoned.

"what unfolded was the quiet, practised efficiency of a media ecosystem that knows exactly how to dull its own nerves when a story threatens the country’s image of itself." 🎯

Loving country, not theft ✊

Here it is, folks, in case you haven't heard it yet!

We need to considers that in the past, various Australian governments spent massive amounts building railways, roads, power lines, dams and Internet. It took decades for industry and citizens to benefit from these, but now we take them for granted. It is the same with renewable energy in the future.

#PSA #Australia @albomp.bsky.social It’s way past time for Australia to pass laws banning donations from interest groups to political parties if we don’t want to end up in the same mess that the US is in where politicians have bought control of the country. #KeepOligarchsOutOfPolitics

Australia is suffering from a femicide crisis. Media outlets carry a responsibility to centre the victims, avoid blame shifting, and report the killings of women and children with care and restraint. When they fail to do that, they stop informing the public and start compounding the harm.

Faark!

We’ve seen these sorts of catastrophes across Australia in recent times, but you may not have realised the damage being done globally because we have compromised media here. Africa. Globally. We’re already in a climate emergency. We must act dramatically & quickly to cut fossil fuel emissions. 👇

reneweconomy.com.au/the-most-imp... “coal is losing its place in a modern, reliable and affordable energy system. Australia’s coal-fired power fleet is ageing, increasingly unreliable and expensive to keep running. No amount of patchwork can reverse that reality.” It’s on your roof… Saving Oz.

What is being ‘normalised’ through politics and media is abhorrent and dangerous. www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/politic...

Let's see. Do I feel like watching sickening videos of innocent people being killed in Ukraine, Gaza or the US today? There's so much choice, never a dull moment. Or for comic relief, listen to Melania promoting the new movie. Technology progressing at amazing speed, but humans as barbaric as ever.

Interesting that in parts of the media there is more outrage at Hoodoo Gurus taking a swipe at Pauline Hanson than at someone throwing a home made explosive device into a crowd of people. #AusPol

Canada & NZ, reliable friends & allies - Australians thank you❣️

Scott, whose personal pastor was Brian Houston, is well-placed to determine how and by whom other people's religions should be run

This could get interesting. “Where credible international findings indicate incitement to genocide and where domestic accountability has not occurred, Australia has both the legal authority and responsibility to act,” #AusPol #NSWpol #Bondi #CrimesAgainstHumanity #Herzog

Herzog can come. If we can send him straight to The Hague. #Auspol.

White racist literally threw a bomb at black people to kill them, apparently not a sufficient cause to have a moral panic, special envoy, national introspection, royal commission, terrorism declaration, new laws, 1,000 op-eds in The Australian. We're struggling to identify why that might be.

When I wrote about Project 2025 in April 2024, literally all I was asked by mainstream Australia media was to “prove” the link to Trump. Very few took the answer seriously. But *all* of this was observable and *could have been planned for* by allies of the United States.

In which I have a look at AUKUS and tbh lose my shit at how dumb it is. @thepointau.bsky.social thepoint.com.au/opinions/260...

On this I agree with Senator Thorpe. #auspol

White guy planned a terror attack on Invasion Day Gathering but is facing lesser charges equivalent to unregistered gun. Maybe if we were Zionists the govt would care about ' hate crimes' ,terrorists, bombs and our safety?

@caramia200.bsky.social rp Time for all Australns to do homework & recognise vast damage & manipulation,#oligarchs have wrought on #Auspol. We’re not doomed to follow #USAcatastrophe but will be so if we fail to bring oligarch lobbying to an end. Presently, Gina OWNS all #conservative parties.

The damage that MAGA, is doing to American institutions and the trust our society operates on will stifle future innovation, immigration, and prosperity. For *decades*. If we recover at all. And it's on purpose.

This global heat map is extraordinary. Australian political leaders who pump out fossil fuels and ignore climate change are threatening our survival on this extraordinary continent.

Fingers crossed the government approving some more coal mines & gas projects will help. And if not, then surely the total obliteration of the systems which sustain life on Earth is a small price to pay if the already massively wealthy become insanely so?

Onya Gurus! 👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Cruelty is a choice.
