As Lamestream pointed out this week, almost every other major Aus news outlet ignored this massive NYT story of Israel’s abuse of prisoners.

Laura Tingle points out that Israel seems less concerned about its beating, starving and sexual assault of prisoners than the fact the exposure of these actions is damaging its intl reputation

The principles of progressive tax brackets clearly beyond the ‘intellectual’ capacity of NSW Daily-Telegraph-Premier Minns. #minnsmustgo

Rich people telling us we shouldn't tax them more is exactly why we need to tax them more.

love to bring them to the park so they can run around and have a sniff and some free time 🥰

My heart is broken into a million pieces 😢 Today we said goodbye to our gorgeous girl #Abla. Life just got too hard for her & I couldn’t let her suffer. The universe gave her a final fox last week, (maybe #June bug’s final revenge 😉) Much love to the most beautiful, big girl I’ll ever know 💔

💔

The first photo I saw of #Abla. I was smitten from the start 🥰

BREAKING: After 80 long days, four Republicans voted with Democrats and helped advance our War Powers Resolution that would rein in Trump's illegal war. Our troops and the American people have paid enough.

We only rate dogs. This is a precious little seal. She is laying on the beach and everything. Please be more respectful of our craft, and only send dogs. Thank you… 12/10 (IG: jaynjoyyy)

FLASH: DOJ expands settlement in Trump-IRS leak suit to cover audits of all tax returns filed by Trump, family members, companies and trusts. Waiver of IRS' claims contained in addendum signed by AAG Blanche that was not in agreement released Monday www.politico.com/news/2026/05...

Louisiana has refused to reconsider the convictions of 1,000+ mostly Black men sentenced by split juries, despite the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in 2020 that such convictions are unconstitutional and based on an inherently racist law. (Published Sept. 2025)

There is going to be a LOT of bullshit about trusts. So let's keep our eye on the ball. Bugger all people use them. But millionaires do and they get a LOT of income through them And they do that because they can avoid paying tax.

The Roberts-Smith case has exposed faultlines within the Liberal Party that will not close before the next election – between veterans and officers, within the conservative media ecosystem and between those who see a war hero and those who see an alleged war criminal. satpa.pe/kWrlHKk

The MFW have targeted the likes of Alan Jones, Sam Newman, Kyle Sandilands and, in an ongoing project, the media monolith it refers to as #NewsCorpse. satpa.pe/nN98KBV

I have two last wishes: 1: I want my remains scattered around Disneyland 2: I don’t want to be cremated THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER

Fuck I love it here.

Confirmed via an FB post (photo) that Pauline's plane's callsign is VH-AU7. Now we know, so now we track it everywhere it goes. Can see the VH-AU, just not the '7' but we are 99% confident we now have Pauline's (sorry Minehart's) plane details. Everyone, track VH-AU7.

"72% of the white population is put into one district. 75% of the Black population is carved into two,” Sen. Jeff Yarbro of Nashville said. “We are being asked to believe that it’s just the luck of the draw, just happenstance.” Within hours of a new congressional map passing, the NAACP filed suit.

Why did they call it Bluesky and not…

Reminder... Any political party trying to make it harder to vote is sending a clear message — they can't win on their ideas alone.

You didn't "earn" a billions dollars, Jeff Bezos. You *took it* from your poorly paid workers.

The era of fully automated research has arrived.

NAACP Tennessee President Gloria Sweet-Love filed an emergency petition to stop a new congressional map from going into effect in Davidson County Chancery Court. The lawsuit was filed less than three hours after Gov. Bill Lee signed the new map into law. From @cstephenson.bsky.social.

this is really heartwarming. two men exchanging symbolic tokens of things the other has no interest in (football, peace)

Fuck. Have we learnt nothing?

Just coz it’s Melbourne I’m wearing black.

This evening. Parliament House lawns. 5.30pm.

Overheard some One Nation strategists plott - er - chatting at the next table at my local cafe this morning. It turns out the ABC is just a propaganda unit for Labor! Good to know!

Protesters are singing civil rights songs in the Tennessee Senate State and Local Government Committee.

NEW: Tennessee voters came out to oppose the GOP’s new rigged maps 🔥

The cat's stunned reaction to the baby kicking in the womb

Welcome to the new President of @anzca.bsky.social, Dr Tanya Selak. Heart warming speech in front of of her family, including a surprise visit from her children from Australia. Her message is we are a Village at ANZCA so we all need to be Villagers. #WeAreAVillage #asm26akl

After Israel detained 175 activists at sea, Global Sumud Flotilla volunteers in Greece are regrouping for a second mission to challenge Gaza's siege

The Israeli army's mission in southern Lebanon is now focused on the “systematic destruction” of buildings rather than combat, IDF officers have told Haaretz. The plan is to demolish predominantly Shia villages in an effort they believe would prevent residents from returning.

5 out of the 6 Supreme Court Justices who gutted the Voting Rights Act were nominated by a president who came into office having lost the popular vote. 70% of Americans support the John Lewis VRA. The Supreme Court is historically unpopular. It is not a democratically legitimate institution.

In the 24 hours since the Supreme Court's majority ruled to demolish the Voting Rights Act's remaining protections, Louisiana and Tennessee have already signaled that they'll redraw their congressional maps with the clear effect of shutting Black voters out.

A win! Thank you for always making your voices heard. The House passed a DHS funding bill by voice vote this afternoon, ending a 75-day shutdown the longest agency shutdown in U.S. history. The GOP caved. The bill funds DHS but includes no money for ICE or Customs and Border Protection.

A solar panel is being delivered tomorrow. It's for recharging my small camper van's 12V portable power supply. With the addition of an inverter (12V to 240V), I can run household appliances in the van. Or, van's portable power system + inverter can keep house fridge running during a blackout. 👇

I started Merewether in 1995 and there were 100 boys and 50 girls in my year when it was based purely on tests and not principals reports and the like. In 1997 when my sister started it was 75-75 Anyway, having twice as many boys as girls was pretty damn toxic

The happiness of this girl after discovering that her dog, whom she had been trying to teach sign language for some time, has finally begun to understand her. :)

Alina Habba went on The View yesterday & it did not go well for her HABBA: The DOJ brings real cases. We are not Jack Smith. We are not Letitia James. We bring real cases AUDIENCE: *laughs & groans* HOSTIN: You actually were sanctioned nearly $1 mil for filing a frivolous lawsuit against Comey

Plaything. My @smh cartoon.

While Boris Johnson was mayor of London there were 72,000 knife attacks, 16,000 gun crime offences, and at least 62,000 racially motivated violent crimes. But apparently, those didn't count.
