Bill Cassidy: “We’re all trying to find the guy who did this” 😒

This feels like a good time to remind everyone that the Ring camera is feeding data to “Flock”… an AI surveillance program that works with ICE. Between that and CBP monitoring your car and driving patterns, there is no such thing as privacy anymore:

Last night, Russia struck a residential building in Ternopil, killing ten people (the death toll as of now). Search and rescue operation continues on site. Every day, innocent people are killed and injured by Russian attacks.

www.theguardian.com/environment/... “You go in hoping corals you saw that were partially bleached might have recovered. Unfortunately the scale tipped to mortality. Most of the data is showing that any coral that bleached in March went on to die.” It’s time to: BAN ALL NEW FOSSIL FUEL PROJECTS.

It continues... #GazaGenicide

Should we bore you with the fishkills?

This may have started under Abbot but Albanese has done more to end scientific research in Australia unrelated to monetised extractive industry, than any previous govt, ever. Including the nutty evangelical.

The last time I wrote about this I copped the biggest whinge fest from the then (Labor) minister’s office about how they weren’t cutting the budget lol

PM @albomp.bsky.social says "his government was a “friend of science”" @australiainstitute.org.au graph says NO (Australia's pitiful R&D spend includes tax breaks to private companies; h/t @rodcampbell.bsky.social, @tomswann.bsky.social) #WithFriendsLikeTheseWhoNeedsEnemies

authors you have the chance to do the funniest thing right now

We are a stupid country! Led by fools with short term agendas and far too few brain cells. I could cry. ##auspol #science #innovation www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

This is obscene. The challenges facing the nation means we should be scaling up CSIRO, not cutting it to shreds. While we are sending billions to the US for nuclear shipyards, our science and industrial base at home is falling apart for lack of funds and direction.

A horrendous report on ABC radio from a Brisbane doctor doing a second tour in Gaza with Medecins sans Frontières. She says the ceasefire is in name only, the genocide continues and the deprivation of basic food, shelter and resources means even the injured haven’t what the need to heal.

Ley is pro-renewables but says the building of them has caused energy prices to go up 40% (which is complete bullshit) #abc730

"Fung-wong [..] with its 1,600-kilometer- (994-mile-) wide rain & wind band, approached from the Pacific while the Philippines was still dealing with the devastation wrought by Typhoon Kalmaegi, which left at least 224 people dead [..] before pummeling Vietnam, where at least five were killed."

‘Australia is the ranked as the third highest country for climate disinformation’ ?? Just mentioned in the inquiry. In my view - that’s a direct reflection of our highly concentrated mainstream media ownership landscape ie Murdoch and Stokes #auspol

David Crisafulli became defensive when asked for transparency on the Bravus Adani Carmichael coalmine expansion & the royalty deferral deal & won't say when they'll pay. The mine expansion would take 4 years. They've paid about $200m in royalties to Queensland so far. #qldpol

“Billions of dollars in tax breaks that push up house prices and lock people out of a home must be wound back to tackle the housing crisis and productivity, a group of housing sector advocates, economists, and union leaders have urged the government.” theaimn.net/economic-ref...

productivity is now a euphemism for wage theft pass it on.

"Woman and man sanction carpet bombing Arab kids to keep a minority of white Australians safe from hurt feelings." #auspol #GazaGenocide #FuckZionism

Scientists shocked by new findings They never expected to discover that the Southern Ocean has suddenly become much saltier, letting heat rise and melt ice from underneath This means that Antarctica will melt much faster than any climate models predictions www.sciencedaily.com/releases/202...

If the Senate's budget is enacted, millions will lose health insurance, millions will fall into poverty, and the national debt will increase by $3.3T. All of this to provide a major tax cut mainly to the rich and big corporations. There is no justification for this.

Foreign Minister of Germany Johann Wadephul: "The extensive destruction of ordinary residential areas in #Kyiv is truly shocking…Resolving this conflict is a central task of German foreign policy and of European foreign policy. We either win together here, or we lose together."

🚨The GOP provision to DEFUND Planned Parenthood is staying in the Big Ugly bill. Clinics will shutter. Women will lose access to cancer screenings, birth control, and basic care. I will be forcing a vote to try to strip it out. Fight like hell. We need to kill this bill.

‼️‼️

I obtained this from a community member minutes after arriving on scene following a raid at the Cypress Park Home Depot this morning. they detained day laborers.

Senate interrupted by someone screaming: You people are awful

2.977 people died on 9/11. The daily quote for ICE is 3000. I think putting it in terms like that puts it into perspective. They want one 9/11 every day.

(🚨) WAIT... WHAT?? Agents of Red Sea co-conspirators and Trump business partners MBS, MBZ, and el-Sisi were secretly in the White House as Trump agreed to go to war with their enemy Iran? How is this not the big news right now? How is this not bigger than every other story major media is covering?

And then this "the evidence does not support an association between thimerosal-containing vaccines and autism spectrum disorder or other neurodevelopmental disorders."

This is dark

(🚨) CONFIRMED: Donald Trump Lied America Into An Unprovoked War and Broke His Peace Pledge to His MAGA Base For No Reason, Then Lied to All Americans From the White House East Room in Creepy Echo of George W. Bush "Mission Accomplished" Announcement

Israel is a genocidal state and all who support it cheer for the murder of children. www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/6/...

The Supreme Court issued a stay, effectively ruling, for now, that the Constitution no longer applies, at least not to immigrants. Fast-track deportations with no opportunity for judicial review violate the fundamental principle of due process, especially for people already on U.S. soil.

I’m in a different time zone but feel the need to reiterate, as if anyone should have to, that the ABC of all places does not need to, indeed shouldn’t, platform the former Prime Minister and lobbyist Scott Morrison am I going fucking insane (accidentally posted this on X lol)

DONAKD J. TRUMP

Pacifists unite.

“Tesla's so-called self-driving software won't stop for a school bus or a kid running from behind said bus, but despite that, the automaker is moving forward with plans to introduce robotaxis, saying it's totally safe.” This one turned onto train tracks… Read More: www.jalopnik.com/1887837/tesl...

www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j... From the Challis chair of international law at the UofS to Allan Behm, special adviser to the Aust Ins.and former advisor to Wong, and Int’l law expert Prof Donald Rothwell, have called the US attack a“flagrant breach”of the international rules-based order #auspol

www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... Australia must take this opportunity to get out of Aukus, have an independent foreign policy that centres peace, and must not allow the use of Australian US military bases like Pine Gap in this conflict. Was Pine Gap used, hence our pathetic response? #Auspol

These are not police. By law, they have to identify. If they won’t—copy their plates, call the actual police and let them know you are witnessing armed police impersonators.

Desperate to lock in #AUKUS 🤷‍♂️, @AlboMP wants to cuddle up to Trump. But should Australia embrace an authoritarian regime? Our leaders need to think about what that might mean for our democracy in the longer term. Much better to keep our distance. #auspol

It appears the Russians are everywhere.

ABCs of Trumpism. Always Be Corrupt

Padilla: I was forced to the ground, first on my knees and then flat on my chest. And as I was handcuffed and marched down a hallway repeatedly asking, why am I being detained? Not once did they tell me why. I pray you never have a moment like this

I signed the final bills Melissa Hortman shepherded through the most narrowly divided legislature in the county. All of them bipartisan. We debated, we found common ground, and we compromised. That’s how democracy should function.
