AM doing a monthly column for @deepcutnews.bsky.social. Here's my first: "The Epstein saga shows us the impotence of polite 'centrist' media: Journalism that panders to fascists and mass murderers is fuelling our societal collapse" www.deepcutnews.com/p/epstein-an...

Forget first impressions. Whoever you are, you need to watch this. And I get it - first impressions, but You seriously need to watch ALL of this if you want insight into the Epstein/Maxwell thing. NO. Not if you want. If you have an opinion. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSkz...

Wake-up Australia 🇦🇺

If you haven't seen the now-deleted clip that Trump posted on Truth Social—during Black History Month, no less—I urge you to take a moment to reflect on what our country truly stands for. It’s important we don’t lose hope.

Ahh, so what do you know, it WAS an act of terrorism. Not that you would have had any inkling of that given the paucity of coverage when it happened. Funny how there isn't ever the same levels of interest or empathy in our normally hysterical media outlets when it's Indigenous people affected.

Advance Australia purports to be 'grassroots' but the pro-fossil pro-Israel lobby group is actually funded by millionaires & billionaires such as Packer, Rinehart, Liebler. @sstephanietrann.bsky.social investigates. #auspol #AEC michaelwest.com.au/the-billiona...

I wonder if our Australian mainstream news media (ABC Ch7 Ch9 Ch10, radio & newspapers) will ever share with their viewers, listeners & readers the voting habits of One Nation's Pauline Hanson in Federal Parliament. 🤔 #auspol

I asked this yesterday. Still asking. Our major institutions, our media & our politicians appear no less compromised or complicit in the cover-up to be honest. I used to hate any suggestion of conspiracies, but it really is getting harder not to see a massive one going on here.

How is this not terrorism?

to be clear, police actively target Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children. The passive voice framing of “disproportionate” impacts on Blak children implies happenstance. Kids in wealthy white areas shoplift, and steal cars, and smoke pot and damage property. They are not policed.

Journalist and femicide researcher @sherelemoody.bsky.social reports that Australian men have killed 5 women in 13 days. #DV #VAW #sexism #misogyny australianfemicidewatch.org

The only people the IDF enjoys murdering more than children are journalists.

how anyone can put “more than 100 children killed” and ceasefire into the same headline has me fucking enraged. Use your senses. Christ.

I just signed this open letter to the ABC. getup.to/QreJWf5CW5Jtj

I'm writing about the Palestine Action hunger strikers at the moment, any of whom could die at any moment, and the astonishing media and government silence surrounding them. The Establishment seems to have become even crueller than when Thatcher was PM.

- no unelected special envoy censoring media, education, culture - no multi week media performing grief about an attack on Our-Womens-Community - no shutting mens spaces in the name of social cohesion - no foreign womens security groups patroling the streets with semi automatic weapons - no speeches

Everyone has their favourite writers and commentators on particular topics. And when it comes to Australian politics, mine are very easy to nominate; Amy Remeikis, Dave Milner and Ronni Salt. If you're not familiar with their work, do yourself a favour, they're all outstanding.

I’m glad your son is safe. Unfortunately my kids are coloured, so I know they are not safe in this society. People of colour have suffered for centuries in Australia,but the government only cares about racism that’s directed at people with a white European background.

In the latest series of Who Do You Think You Are Australia? three prominent Australians discover shocking revelations about their past selves, including that they opposed strengthening measures against racial vilification #auspol

Sussan Ley says no room for racism in Australia, how about this gem from you during the election #hypocrisy #auspol

Will the Australian mainstream news media (I'm thinking esp. Ch7 and Ch9) do a report on how Pauline Hanson and James Ashby took advice from the NRA on how to water-down Australia's gun laws in exchange for donations from the gun industry? 🤔 #auspol #BondiBeach #GunLaws

If the last three days demonstrate one thing, it's that the right (via the media) controls the narrative in this country. Or, as Matt Golding puts it: #bondibeach #auspol

Bernie Sanders on FB re what anti-semitism is and is not.

Laura Tingle correctly points out that Netanyahu is in no position to criticise the Australian government while he continues to be unable to defend his complete failure to prevent the massacre of 7 October Can media please stop giving this war criminal oxygen #auspol

Shame on everyone who didn’t even wait a day to use an abhorrent, devastating terrorist attack to create fear and division - exactly what terrorists want. Anyone using a national tragedy for political point scoring should be ashamed of themselves! From all ends of the political spectrum.
