"Angus Taylor is telling ghost stories to those Australians who are already afraid of the dark," writes Stan Grant. "Yet Taylor should be careful of the malevolent spirits he may summon." satpa.pe/CVCSTxo

Activists and victims are pushing for more action on gendered violence. ‘No More’ marchers have gathered again around the country in frustration and solidarity, Grace Gooda reports. satpa.pe/I3hlvtR

I genuinely don't see why this would be a threat for the Spaniards and Italians. Those troops are there because it benefits the US's power projection, not because they're protecting Spain or Italy. No skin off their noses. www.politico.eu/article/dona...

"Access to water in #Gaza is severely limited." - by Israel "Nearly 90% of water and sanitation infrastructure has been destroyed or damaged." - by Israel. Th #GazaGenocide continues - by Israel.

The Titanic had a ballroom and yet it still sank. Cheers.

I reckon we’d create more social cohesion in Australia by coming together to make housing more affordable for half the population that need it to be, rather than being legislatively bullied into silence about not criticising Israel for committing genocide Just a thought Prime Minister

We mustn't fixate only on what's been lost but imagine on what we can regain... IF we choose to work at it! It's time to get busy and @rewildingbritain.org.uk and the world!

If you call DFAT about the 6 Aussies kidnapped near Crete, you get a message that says, "the Israeli Navy is patrolling territorial waters" (Greece's!?), and, "Don't join others seeking to break the blockade. Previous attempts have resulted in death..." and then it hangs up.

Mum of Aus Doctor Bianca Webb-Pullman detained by Israel for attempting to deliver aid to Gaza on flotilla blasts “Albo & Wong” calling on them to “roll up your sleeves” & intervene to ensure the “unobstructed & continued passage to Gaza of my daughter & all who are with her”🔥 #auspol

Save Our NHS. JC was right all along.✌🏼 #SocialistFriday

Independent Senator Lydia Thorpe said it was a time of "deep grief" for her community & called for the government to address broad issues like extreme poverty & a lack of basic services & support. Not gutless gloating arrogant Advance-style weaponisation. Access. Voice. Treaty. Truth.

Political donations make a mockery of democracy, and the government's solutions are hopeless. Here's a really simple means of fixing it. This week's column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

TACO has been replace by NACHOS. Not a chance Hormuz opens soon. #r4today

Tour de force essay fr @lucyham.bsky.social "Albanese has tied his fate to fossil fuel majors.[..] “I can confirm that the Budget will not undermine existing contracts on gas exports.” He tied this refusal to tax fossil fuel’s windfall profits to Gallipoli, the minimum wage & the 8-hour workday."

Some useful public speaking tips from Freud here.

BREAKTHROUGH: SaltX Technology and Holcim have produced Portland-quality clinker - the core ingredient in cement - using a fully electrified process. No fossil fuels. The goal is now a pilot plant targeting Europe's first fully electric cement facility by 2028. www.globalcement.com/news/20714-s...

In just two days, two separate Tasmania Police officers have been stood down and charged with criminal offences. Can’t let Queensland or NSW to have the most bent cops in the country. A new stadium will fix these problems though. 😡🤬

"Why did you give Netanyahu a pass on what pretty much every expert now says is a genocide in Gaza?" From my exclusive interview with ICC chief prosecutor Karim Khan, who asked for arrest warrants for Netanyahu for war crimes & crime against humanity. zeteo.com/p/karim-khan...

If you spent the Morrison years furious at his secrecy, at his obedience to the corporate death cult, and at his fawning to American ruling class power, but you're not bothered by the identical caricteristics in Albanese, you're not into politics, you're into team sports

The most difficult conundrum in American politics, and in US life in general IMO, is that by designing every aspect of our built environment around maximizing car sales, we've designed a perfect society for childlessness and hostility toward all living children. We have to undo this. It's hard.

Meanwhile, neither Albo nor Penny Wong have deigned to even put out a press release condemning the kidnapping of Australians in international waters.

The Supreme Court and GOP are about to make redistricting a complete mess nationwide. It’s going to become pure tit for tat. Some seats flip red, some flip blue, and by the time the dust settles everything just evens out. But the whole country will be gerrymandered in the process.

Evidence that James Comey’s absurd seashells indictment is selective and vindictive:

This is what tariffs were always all about for Trump. Not about revenue, trade, domestic manufacturing, GDP - it’s about giving himself the unilateral power to decide economic winners and losers on a case by case basis, with kings and CEOs coming to him asking forbearance..

Democratic House campaign teams are circulating this image. This is a strategy a party employs when a President's poll numbers are sliding

NDIS Dep CEO John Dardo details the botched process to stop fraudulent NDIS payments under the LNP before Labor put in fraud prevention protocols. Dardo “Those basic things that you’d expect in a risk based system, they didn’t exist.”💥 Libby Coker “It was like an ATM”🔥 #auspol

Happy May Day.

There's a more technical term for this than "interception", which worldwide MSM from the BBC to The Guardian are discreetly using. It's called piracy. www.un.org/depts/los/pi...

“Far from reducing money in politics, the Malinauskas Government’s generous taxpayer funding for parties and candidates sets the 2030 election campaign up to be the biggest yet.” – Bill Browne, Director of the Institute’s Democracy & Accountability Program Read more: https://theaus.in/4eUEfPd

So, Republicans could have stopped the shutdown all along? The people who control all three branches of government and still blamed democrats finally realized this?

Updating my list with the latest version of Iran wanting to surrender to Trump.

I approve this message.

Unacceptable. Jonathan Ross should be in custody awaiting trial for the murder of Renée Good.

I keep thinking about the ease with which they cancelled elections over the last 24 hours

«Is it still there?!» A dog's reaction to seeing a horse for the first time. Original post

once again, it is great that the president is a klan-level racist

Lets be clear. This is about stealing an election, this time, with SCOTUS on their side. House Speaker says, “you’ve got to keep the grown ups in charge.” GOP doesnt care what the voters want. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

As a Black woman in America, I’m disgusted with SCOTUS’s ruling yesterday weakening the Voting Rights Act! So awful! My ancestors fought and died for myself and many others to have voting rights

It cost me $177 to renew my driver license today. Requiring certain ID to vote without making that ID easy, accessible, and free is 100% a poll tax.

Two photos. Same room. Same flags. Same astronauts. In one, the President stands with them, smiling, centered, human. In the other, the President sits scowling, rambling, diminished. Four astronauts. Two presidents. And the faces tell you everything.

It is not IF. It is MUST. We cannot have single individuals controlling massive companies, filled only with robots, deciding just how vast their profits for doing nothing should be. They need to go, like slavery did.
