If "difficult" means challenging an unjust status quo, Australia needs *more* difficult women. And men. Grace Tame already has a solid track record making a difference. Albo will be remembered for being far too *easy* with corporate donors, genocidal regimes, vested interests, and racist media.

"With such a quiet and compliant caucus, Albanese and Burke are facing no internal pushback against the sort of rhetoric that would have been unthinkable a little over three years ago." With racism rising, now's the time for a principled political leader to step up. If only we had one. #auspol

Also for @JulianHillMP. Try to fucking-well pay attention, Julian. #auspol johnmenadue.com/post/2026/02...

We must #DestroyMaleSupremacy Everywhere Call it out

What Jenny said. Like most of the political and media establishment, Julian Hill won't even acknowledge that Zionism is a deadly, destructive and dehumanizing ideology. Not just in the Middle East, but in the way it is now dominating Australian public policy. #auspol

“care binds freedom to responsibility. It is a critical moral element that is in danger of being lost in moments of policy or political difficulty.” Demeaned indeed

Shit

“That Board of Peace is…not a stab in the back. It's a punch in the face of the UN system.” UN Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories Francesca Albanese joined @mehdirhasan.bsky.social to discuss what shocked her the most about Trump's Board of Peace.

Cleopatra lived closer in time to 'yeet' being in the dictionary than to the construction of the Great Pyramid of Giza.

Full of admiration for what Emma does in threads like this one. Read it, it’s interesting.

The video is filmed by a guy clearly agitating for trouble. He stands right in front volunteers outside a mosque, who politely ask him to move on “No. Why can’t I stand here. I’m not causing trouble. Why can’t I stand here” You know the sort of thing He then films for an hour in Whitechapel 3/

Use the weekend to read the opening of a book that grants you the ability to understand the Right. The water they swim in = equal human dignity is a myth. They substitute a race and/or cultural pyramid that demands we fence out everyone (including the left) that threatens superiority #auspol

The phrase 'social cohesion' "has been weaponised in public debate – the implication is that everything would be okay if only 'they' thought more like 'us.' The 'us' is usually whoever it is calling for social cohesion at the time." #racism #auspol johnmenadue.com/post/2026/02...

Terrorism in Australia is 99% femicide, 1% everything else.

#auspol #MVAW #MVAC #BringThemHome When you hear @albomp.bsky.social expressing his "contempt" for Australian women and children trapped in refugee camps in Syria and watch him refuse to bring them home, keep in mind—

Don’t forget, when Pauline drops racist bombshells into the media for everyone to react to, she’s now being funded by Gina Rinehart, major contributor to racist propaganda group Advance and inspired by MAGA-guru Steve “flood the zone with bullshit” Bannon. The offence is the point.

I do wonder if Scott Britton has to put Scott Britton on the risk registers he maintains for the federal prosecutor’s office

in which federal education minister Jason Clare shares that the antisemitism Ed task force will be briefed BEFORE MINISTERS on university responses to racism “whether that’s antisemitism or racism…” Why? Why not the Aboriginal Affairs Minister? Race Discrimination Commissioner? Islamaphobia envoy?

<might be a neat opportunity to mention> one of the two named Antisemitism Education Task Force members, to be briefed on university responses to racism BEFORE MINISTERS, is ASECA Jillian Segal whose family trust donates to far right racist slop lobby Advance. theklaxon.com.au/jillian-sega...

the only named individuals on the antisemitism education task force are the same two people who headed up that Gold Coast knees up teaching mayors that watermelons are terrorism or something idk it sounded quite uneducated to me. All the other “members” are named organisations.

“Power does reveal what people are really like. “I will punish these very vulnerable Australian women and children to show you how tough I am.” [Albanese] doesn’t show the same toughness to those who commit genocide. Or the Australian citizens fighting for the IDF.” johnmenadue.com/post/2026/02...

"Chanting 'from the river to the sea' with a crowd could lead to criminal charges in Queensland, while down the road Pauline Hanson can say there are 'no good Muslims' and be rewarded with headlines, airtime and rising support." @juliannes.bsky.social on hate speech hypocrisy. #auspol

Thanks @davidpocock.bsky.social And it’s Chinese New Year and no doubt other traditions and celebrations I have no idea about across the world. Special times for so many

Great bunch of news stories this morning, telling us the system is working as designed. 1. Aged care system declines/delays assessments and provision of assistance sometimes long enough that people die waiting. 2. Pet insurance isn’t worth the cost in premiums. 3. AI steals your voice then your job.

Stay through the shift.

Joshua Barnett: “There is no evidence from the marketing materials that the operators of the scheme have proper authorisation in Australia: either a licence to provide financial advice or a licence to sell property – let alone property deemed illegal under international law.” #auspol

Now? My @smh cartoon.

Like Palantir, some of these corps have a big presence in Australia, profiting off making our country something ominous. Private prisons have a poor record. They show themselves incentivised 🤢 to donate to achieve worse policy than private prisons. Don’t ignore the c-suites donating for ☠️ #Auspol

This racial abuse and violent assault by NSW Police made the news in the Middle East and elsewhere across the globe, @chrisminnsmp.bsky.social. You and your Zionist cronies must be feeling so very proud of yourselves. How you shame us all. #auspol #nswpol #PoliceViolence #PoliceRacism

The Alliance for Responsible Citizenship? My mistake. I thought that Fuckwits United was spelt in an entirely different way.

The utter sham of offsets, yet again... “Destroying the equivalent of 40 MCGs worth of greater glider habitat and then attempting to relocate all hollows and claim this somehow offsets the harm to greater gliders is genuinely deluded, and contemptuous.” - me www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Australians can't spot our own fascists because ours have been described as "centre-left" forever by the dumbest class of TV pundits on the fucking planet

if you saw your first violent police attacks on women and children and heard police calling kidney punches and steel cap boot kicks “public safety” for the first time, know that police did not start acting like this in February 2026. The difference is white people seeing police brutality first hand.

1/2 This will cease to be a problem soon. Because #MussoliniMinns is working to strip the few remaining democratic rights from the NSW public. #nswpol

#auspol NSW now has one of the most anti-democratic protest laws in the Western World. Yes, the laws were rushed through by Minns and they've backfired but was he really wanting to keep the peace? I suspect he had other motives. www.smh.com.au/politics/nsw...

"The NSW government isn’t merely prosecuting protesters, it is inflicting 'social cohesion' through brute force and violence against people engaged in free speech." When @keanebernard.bsky.social goes after "social cohesion":

"Social cohesion is a scam, a strategy employed by the powerful to delegitimise and suppress the voices of the less powerful... If you are othered by powerful groups, you become the victim of cohesion, not the beneficiary; what you get from social cohesion is a punch from an armed official."

"Calls for 'social cohesion' are a form of power speech, in which the powerful attempt to dictate what those with less power can legitimately say. ...When governments use power speech, however, it comes with the backing of state-sanctioned violence." Minns has smashed his own lie. #nswpol #auspol

Huh. Almost like absolutely everyone saw this coming from the minute the government invited the Israeli head of state and told Sydneysiders they couldn't protest about it. Another win for Social Cohesion™

How many punches does it take??? Everyone is alarmed with what is happening in the US and here we are in Syd…🤯

#BREAKING 🚨 Former Greens candidate Hannah Thomas says NSW premier Chris Minns "is responsible for every single injury" at the Sydney march against Isaac Herzog Protesters were pepper-sprayed and punches thrown, with Thomas saying it "felt like war being waged on us by police"

We need to "isolate antisemitism from anti-Zionism from anti-Netanyahu sentiment. They are separate issues." Laura Tingle says what few in the media will. But Herzog, the Israel lobby and the political & media class are deliberately promoting that confusion. #auspol www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

Isn't it astounding, the lack of any moral conscience displayed by our Police "services" personnel. Violent thugs, just blindly following orders, protected by our "laws." I fear for the families of these violent men. And what's with the moustaches? #auspol #nswpol #HerzogNotWelcome

Gotta love people with such courage and imagination!!

@davemilbo.bsky.social on the Perth Invasion Day terrorism attack: “You don’t need to go on social media to be radicalised. You can just turn on Channel 7 and get radicalised. There is so much racism in mainstream media.” #SundayShot
