The households that saw the largest increase in costs over the past year were those on government payments, with increases of at least 4 per cent largely driven by rising energy costs www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

*in the writers room* yeah fuck it have the most powerful pedophile in the world shit his pants in front of reporters and have no news organisations mention it.

Walz comparing the ICE raids to the Holocaust makes him going on that podcast and saying he hopes Tom Homan works with local law enforcement and does night raids so much more fucking horrifying, he's describing his desire for a quiet and orderly night Holocaust Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Leading up to that.. Eric Lee Atty Kids screaming "Let us out! Let us out!"

I try to keep my head out of affairs in places I don't live, preferring to signal boost others who are actually there; however I feel like I need to say that "Stay peaceful as we kill you or else" isn't the most convincing threat.

jack asked if i would sketch up a poster to tell people in nearby neighborhoods about the partnership between flock and ring, and this is what i came up with. it can be printed on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper.

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

Some media have reported that Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah has dropped her defamation claim against SA premier Peter Malinauskas. That is incorrect. She has resolved her separate defamation claim against Adelaide Festival Corporation.

There may need a good case to strengthen hate speech laws (though I’m not entirely convinced) but you can guarantee that whatever is being rushed together in response to Bondi is not thoughtful legislation, but a knee-jerk sop to pro-Israel figures. I can’t see why it should be supported.

To think that in less than a month after the Bondi tragedy, the Zionist lobby would waste their weeks of astroturfing on this stupid of targeted censorship attempt. Who would have thought writers would be against censorship? You couldn't engineer a predictable backlash like this if you tried.

Next Gundam Girl of the day is Haman Karn from Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam and Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ! Today is January 10th, which is her birthday!

It would not surprise me if ICE ends up killing Episcopalian clergy, sadly. Episcopalian ministers go pretty hard in the paint for civil rights. The story of Jonathan Daniels, an Episcopalian seminary student, pushing Ruby Sayles out of the way of a KKK shotgun blast in Alabama comes to mind.

Hundreds of people have packed into Chicago's Thalia Hall tonight for a community listening session on CPD collaboration with ICE/CBP. Police district councillors who gathered petition signatures required to hold tonight's hearing are opening by thanking the community for showing out.

This should be a wake-up call for anyone who calls themselves "non-political" or "non-violent." You can stand to the side of the regime and not involve yourself with political organization, they will still murder you and post-fact make you into a "violent Antifa terrorist."

we’re never returning to “normal “ that world is dead and gone we create a new one, or we live in hell

There's no reforming our government out of this, not without radical reform on the level of overthrowing the government and having a constitutional convention. Fuck everyone who enables and supports imperialism, wars based on lies, and genocide-denial.

Xi isn’t coming the EU won’t help us and the liberals in charge won’t either. Socialists and communists need to organize and agitate around this and that’s what needs to be done. US imperialism must end and the only way it will is through the dismantling of US capitalism

I gotta keep it real with you guys, this shit ain't salvagable, you're gonna have to cultural revolution the shit out of America.

The United States is so fucking disgusting I hate this fucking country and all you fucking liberals that have sat here the last few years helping Trump manufacture consent to do this should jump full offense

By the time we hear about this stuff in the corporate press, it's already too late, and we don't have a say in the matter. Just notice how rigged everything is. Take notes. And let this information remap your understanding of Australian 'democracy'.

Remember how appalled we all were in 2022 when Russia completely unprovoked attacked Ukraine? That is what we’re doing tonight with Venezuela. We are the bad guys here. Everyone who supports this is supporting unprovoked murder. Fuck every last one of them

The US is bombing Venezuela because it can’t hold its pedophilic president accountable. Such deep evil.

the racism coming from the entire conservative movement targeting the somali community is so goddam disgusting and its just being completely ignored

I’m so furious that legal NSFW art and artists are being slowly gentrified off the internet while billionaires make CSAM-generating robots with impunity

Netflix and chill is done, it is now the era of Plex and sex

heads up that bluesky doesnt show posts from other languages by default on your timeline, and its cutting you off from a lot of the community go to bsky.app/settings/lan... and deselect any language from this setting, or else you might not see any of the new japanese users at all!

I can't believe Glemy Toto is in the epstein files...

Every single political journalist in Australia right now is saying siome variation of this: "While there's nothing to indicate the pro-Palestine protests led to the Bondi attacks, Albanese is still facing the toughets test of his prime-ministership and has been held responsible for the deaths"

The protest/speech/liberties crackdown in Australia right now is obviously much more significant than what occurred post 9/11. Also striking is how completely silent progressives are on it. Minns has announced the outlawing of protests and the Greens are ?

Bringing this meme back for the season

This would've gone insane on 2007 youtube

UN Special Rapporteur for Counter Terrorism 👇

1/2 The Sydney Jewish community and Australia have experienced the horror of terrorist violence. The PM's Antisemitism Envoy has cynically used this tragedy to demonize peaceful protests for #FreePalestine and an end to the #GazaGenocide. If Albanese wants 'social cohesion', she needs to go.

Absolutely horrifying to see those scenes from such a cowardly attack in Bondi.

Oh god, Star Trek: Into Darkness for two reasons: 1. Saw it with my best friend, I choked on a frozen coke and she thought i had a brain freeze. 2. It was when she still had a bit of an accent so my immature 15 year old brain thought her saying "I can't wait for the turd one!" was the funniest thing

Just heard disappointing news that @warren.senate.gov will co-sponsor the Kids Online Safety Act again despite overwhelming opposition from LGBTQ, human rights, abortion rights, and racial justice groups. This is a horrific betrayal of her constituents, particularly trans youth and their families.

Who is Anika Welles kidding? Am I supposed to believe companies will run our data through expensive AI algos to guess where everyone of their customers live? Or Just comply to the bare minimum of the law and tell the gov everythings fine?

I shouldn't have to say this (when I was a kid it was the gov who would) but if you cannot be 100% your personally identifying info is safe from data breach, like an ID which alone can have life changingly bad consequences if found in the wrong hands, you shouldn't give them your info...

Absolutely stunning to see Australia's teen social media ban rushed through while every single government, educational institution and probably a huge number of parents are frantically force-injecting chatbot slop into the mind of every single child in the country without a second's hesitation

"Clearly the reason young people feel hopeless is all the Ticky-toks" - Prime Minister Albanese chaser.com.au/national/bac...

Thinking about how where I live we passed hate symbol laws to target nazis and it was immediately weaponized to arrest pro-palestine protestors But yeah carving out bans for certain types of erotic or uncomfortable content isn't gonna be used to target anything considered degenerate, that's crazy

A daily thing is seeing UK folks genuinely and justifiably disgusted by an anti immigration line that has been the absolute widely accepted norm in Australia for decades

Listen I'm a fucking idiot but doesn't this netflix buyout feel like Xbox buying Activision again, except Netflix doesn't have Microsoft to pick up the slack. Like, isn't netflix just barely profitable rn with constant price increases? And they also needed a loan to do this?

How can law be the chief determinant of morality when they can make it legal to rape us?
