I know there’s a lot going on in the world, and we don’t have enough attention to pay to any of it. But the throttling of Cuba by the US should be a bigger story than it is. There are about 10 million people in Cuba, subjected to horrendous collective punishment.

JobSeeker is nearly $300 a week below the poverty line. Immiserating people on welfare is utterly immoral and makes it even harder for those who can work to find a job. We're sick of Labor crying poor when the 1% grow their wealth in their sleep. Tax the rich. Raise the rate.

The RBA’s policy deliberately creates unemployment. So why do we treat the jobless so badly?

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

To be clear: any outlet that reports "Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz" without reporting "because they explicitly said the ceasefire must include Lebanon and Israel is continuing to bomb Lebanon" is an outlet you cannot trust.
