Bluesky says it suspended author Sarah Kendzior because she was "expressing a desire to shoot the author of an article." But there's more to the story:

The need for more cooperatives has never been more urgent. Great write up by @godfreymoase.bsky.social on @graceblakeley.substack.com

@graceblakeley.substack.com is just one of life’s good comrades. It’s a real privilege writing a piece on cooperatives for her newsletter. open.substack.com/pub/gracebla...

Capitalism is a system which exhausts people and planet. If you feel exhausted, you feel capitalism.

So proud of what the Grill’d workers have started here. This is just the beginning. www.weareunion.org.au/after_paying...

Latest newsletter post. Australia’s definition of freedom of association has it all wrong and it impeded the cause of human freedom. open.substack.com/pub/godfreym...

Of course, this opens up a new form of protected industrial action where workers vote up a ban on compliance with social media policies and basically @ the dictatorship.

Australian workers are getting warnings from Australian-owned corporations for expressing opinions on US politics.

New post coming Friday on freedom and unions.

If you value the arts, creative writing and free artistic expression now is the time to subscribe to @overlandjournal.bsky.social people.

This is a political attack on the free expression of writers and artists.

By her own definition, with apologies to Douglas Adams, she should now have her office funding cut and disappear in a puff of logic

New post in the newsletter coming tomorrow.

NEW: Australia's Future Fund increased its holdings in Israeli weapons manufacturer Elbit Systems by 469% in 2024, deepening Australia's financial ties with companies profiting from the Gaza genocide. www.deepcutnews.com/p/exclusive-...

It's not a 'clash' if it's neo-Nazis storming a group of people - it is an attack. Also, it's always ok to punch a Nazi. Hope that helps.

Elon’s ongoing breakdown is quite the case study in why the capitalists themselves need liberation from capitalism.

This is the last post for the Introduction where I outline the solidarity wedge itself which rests on organising at work, organising for ownership and political organising. open.substack.com/pub/godfreym...

Whenever I hear any labour movement leader making it about themselves or any other single leader, I think of these words from The Internationale: “No saviour from on high delivers No faith have we in prince or peer Our own right hand the chains must shiver”

For the first time today, I broke workers up into small groups to talk about a company offer and how they are feeling at a mass meeting. It was a mass meeting where every worker got to have their say and connect with co-workers.

Personally all the first drafts for my newsletter are hand written. Can’t recommend the old school approach of hand writing first as a way to clarify thinking free of digital distraction.

Antarctica is in extreme peril. "Abrupt changes" threaten to send the continent past the point of no return, a new study finds. grist.org/climate/anta... #Climate #Ice #Antarctica #Environment #Heat #Science #Research #Study

Melbourne turns out against genocide. People of the world are waking up as a genocide against one people is a genocide against humanity as a whole.

Interesting contrast with similar kinds of debates that took place ~100 years ago. jacobin.com/2025/08/aust...

The Australian union movement campaigned and donated millions of dollars to reelect Labor Party prime minister Anthony Albanese. The results have been less than inspiring.

For obvious reasons we've had to keep the author's identity a secret.

Here’s a state of the #ausunions I wrote up for Jacobin (drafted before the Qantas decision). jacobin.com/2025/08/aust...

There is no end to the indignities management with a free hand will inflict on their fellow humans

Canada is facing one of its worst wildfire seasons on record, and my home province is particularly hard hit. Seeing how false and misleading information about the fires is spreading online has only further convinced me social media, especially Facebook, is a social cancer.

Did someone say productivity summit?

Just your regular reminder that the state polices workers taking action far more often intensively than literal nazis spreading hate on the streets

Reprehensible. ‘Anas al-Sharif, prominent Al Jazeera correspondent, among five journalists killed in Israeli airstrike on Gaza’ www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

An entire news crew working for Al Jazeera was killed by Israel as they sought to bring the world firsthand reporting from #Gaza. Among them was prominent journalist Anas Al-Sharif, who had been previously smeared and threatened by the IDF. #NotATarget Full statement: cpj.org/2025/08/isra...

Just as capitalism is a monster forever mutating, so too the movement to transcend it must be in motion, and unpredictably so.

This is a practical demonstration of what democratic union politics looks like. www.labornotes.org/blogs/2025/0...

MEAA supports the Palestine Action Group’s bid to March for Humanity across the Sydney Harbour Bridge. meaa.io/4laIpSL

NSW Supreme Court has rejected Police push to prohibit tomorrow's march for Palestine on the Harbour Bridge. Basically due to a lack of evidence anyone would be deterred. Big win for freedom of assembly.
