Our so-called ally Israel has kidnapped 11 brave Australians trying to break the illegal blockade of Gaza. Labor's response? To blame the people trying to bring food and medical aid to Palestinians. Cowards.

#MustRead from Greece: Beyond Prosfygika’s walls lies something far more ambitious than a mere housing project: a living demonstration that an alternative way of organizing daily life is not only possible but already underway. This is precisely what the eviction plan is willing to erase.

U.S. media outlets were crucial in helping Israel sell the Gaza genocide to the American public. The numbers don’t lie. Get the full story from @ahjohnson.bsky.social's collaboration with The Intercept: interc.pt/4tNXXQJ

Six months ago, the federal government indicted me, my friend Andre, and four others for protesting ICE. Our trial is this month and we are facing up to $250k in legal debt. Please help us win our case and protect all of our rights by donating to our legal defense: tinyurl.com/katandre

incredibly funny that this bullshit trust and safety team is going to Streisand Effect themselves into everyone knowing about this restore @cara.city you miserable babies

I didn't know today is the birthday of Karl Marx, if you're into that sort of thing. There is a sale on relevant titles at Verso www.versobooks.com/en-gb/blogs/...

“Israel’s actions tonight mark a dangerous and unprecedented escalation: the abduction of civilians in the middle of the Mediterranean, over 600 miles from Gaza, in full view of the world.” The Global Sumud Flotilla says Israel has begun seizing its vessels and detaining activists.

Centrist Democrats try to blame Biden's loss on those who protested the carnage in Gaza. That's backwards: Biden chose to repress the very social movements that were necessary to resist Trump. Those who claim that we must choose between opposing genocide and opposing tyranny pave the way for both.

It’s a great moment to remember that in the leadup to this popular uprising, the first major gut-punch was delivered by Budapest Pride. Poetic justice. 🇭🇺🏳️‍🌈

i'm glad to see people doing the optimistic work of exercising autonomy over what role and to what extent certain technologies exist in their lives & their work don't let anyone tell you that the garbage they work on or promote is inevitable, or that taking control over your future is a lost cause

So @asanews.bsky.social emailed its membership its refusal to put a petition to Boycott, Divest, & Sanction Israel up to a vote, one that already had 438 signatures. This undemocratic decision, they wrote, is because they're worried about membership dropping. Well do I have news for you.

is this a solution?

NEW: Sources Briefed on Iran War Say U.S. Has No Plans for What Comes Next “The administration doesn’t have a clue. They do not have an actual, real rationale, endgame, or plan for the aftermath of this.” theintercept.com/2026/03/05/t...

I wrote this essay last year, and it has just been published. Its publication comes at a moment of barbarism: yesterday, more than 100 children were killed in Iran as a result of a barbaric and unlawful attack by Israel and the United States.

I need to address this immediately, because I am WAY too Minnesotan to ever claim credit for this. I built a thing to point the fire hose of people's generosity in the right direction. That's it. I am thankful for the piece, because hopefully it means people will donate more money.

Israel lobby groups have spread doctored quotes by UN Special Rapporteur for Human Rights Francesca Albanese to defame her. Their desperate campaign is a testament to her work and the threat she poses by holding Israel accountable for genocide. mondoweiss.net/2026/02/fran... #Palestine #Israel

My love is with the Lakemba community, and with First Peoples and black and brown people being targeted right now. We should not have to beg to be kept safe. We deserve better. I will not stop calling this out until this country treats white supremacist violence with the seriousness it demands.

"It's not artificial intelligence. It's African intelligence." Michael Geoffrey Asia, the secretary general of the Data Labelers Association in Kenya tells @jasonkoebler.bsky.social about the notoriously brutal and underpaid work of training AI. Watch now: www.youtube.com/watch?v=QH65...

The prosecution is brought by Dr Sammak, who reports that 𝟭𝟲𝟮 𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀 of her family have been killed during Israel’s military assault on 𝙶𝚊𝚣𝚊, including relatives sheltering in the Bureij refugee camp.

Lawyers representing Melbourne academic Tasnim Sammak have 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗱 a charge sheet before the Magistrates’ Court of Victoria, accusing President Herzog of eight grave offences under Australian law, including genocide and crimes against humanity.

The perpetrators - who look remarkably like members of the black-shirted mob that marched on NSW Parliament last month without any interference 🧐

Ron Baumann, one of the 4000-odd Jewish people living in QLD responded directly to #Crisafulli's tweet:

Ah FFS. What about the actual Australians who have been killed by the military of this leader's nation in Gaza & in Lebanon? Isn't our PM meant to represent them too? How are we united at all, except in grief, that any of this is happening?

And then there’s this shameless garbage from Albanese, repeating the tired line that “people don’t want conflict brought here” while literally inviting the president of the “conflict” here. The utter contempt these people have for Australians is so glaring.

The largest infrastructure projects currently being built in the US appear to be data centers and detention centers. The AI boom has coincided with ICE becoming the most heavily funded government agency. It's hard not to see a connection: This is the architectures of digital fascism

Well, there's a photo I never expected to see in my life. Noam Chomsky palling around with Steve Bannon.

Bluesky’s head of trust & safety responding with a sarcastic image macro to a woman upset her husband was kidnapped by ICE is embarrassingly unprofessional & cruel behavior. that account was then banned by Bluesky Trust & Safety. horrendously poor community management. what purpose does this serve?
