Only EIGHT official complaints over TEN YEARS. Meanwhile, 46 trans children died by suicide between 2019 and 2025 22 trans kids killed themselves in 2021–22 alone – just as The Times was alleging – FALSELY, IT TURNS OUT! – that “over 1,000 families” were planning legal action against the centre

One thing that astonishes me about the Herzog visit is that Israel has murdered more journalists than any other state in the 21st century, and he hasn’t faced a single question about this (to my knowledge) from the Australian media

Absolutely huge crowd in Melbourne right now. People from all backgrounds, ages and professions - united in opposition to genocide and war. This is what social cohesion looks like.

Extremely excited to see what the twist is on this episode of @gamechangershow.bsky.social!

It is, without question, my favourite bit of local graffiti.

This sucks. This sucks so bad. Max Payne should break the fourth wall and shoot this man in the head.

"Anticop was born in February 2025 from frustration with the policing of pro-Palestine rallies. 'The state has done everything it can to shut that movement down, to allow the genocide to continue, and the police are a key component,' Mr Raue says."

I can vouch that NSW police act like this in western Sydney and towns with high Aboriginal populations every single day, and are in fact largely untouchable. The difference today is the number of white people who saw what police do, usually with impunity.

Minns trying to spin this morning: "...people have to understand the circumstances where [if] protesters breached police lines and ran amuck in Sydney would have been devastating." Yeah. Imagine if those people FROM SYDNEY who went THROUGH SYDNEY to get to the protest managed to get INTO SYDNEY.

Tfw you really want to punch an old man

I say this as someone who was there, it was pretty clear that the Herzog protest was proceeding peacefully and NSW Police were largely responsible for inflaming conflict with protesters. Initially by the poor way they restricted movement around Town Hall, and then by things like this…

Fuck the cops. Fuck the politicians who enabled this. Arrest Herzog.

Vale, Jon Kudelka. And as always, Fuck Cancer.

Just going to point to the time that Stalin said that they needed to execute the top 50,000 Nazis officials post war. And then we didn't. I'm not saying it was a perfect idea, but I'm also saying we wouldn't have filled West German politics, NATO, & other bodies with Nazis for 50 more years.

You don't know what it's like, you don't have a clue If you were AbL0 PM, you'd be doing the same thing too Breaking the law, breaking the law Breaking the law, breaking the law Breaking the law, breaking the law Breaking the law, breaking the law www.deepcutnews.com/p/internatio...

Damn, the British Museum was showing off stolen art? OK, easy dig over, it fucking sucks that institutions who we *need* to be reliable sources of truth are embracing the lying machines.

May you feel as much joy today as the bouncer in this video.

Really cool that while we have a national panic about teenagers on phone too much, phone is also causing pensioners to build car bombs www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

One of this year’s biggest elections that will fly under the radar is the United Workers Union elections. Union elections are pretty lowkey unless you’re a member, but UWU’s Queensland influence and their reputation as the laboratory of the union movement makes this important for everyone.

There might have been dumber policies in the history of civilisation, but right now I can’t think of any.

NYT less insightful than a 9 year old 4chan post

one hundred thousand percent yes

Just listened to another great and infuriating QAA episode that brings me one step closer to the belief that maybe lying should just be illegal.

load bearing tweet for a settler colonial society

I'm thinking ICE agents should be trapped in big glass containers and we pull their limbs off with ambivalence like they were spiders

replace rfk jr with this guy

It would be great to see more of this. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

Quality performance art. Easy to parse, thematically relevant, kinda gross. Love it.

We updated Paperbark!

Criticising this could now be considered hate speech.

In Australia, the government will allow tax-deductible donations to charities supporting the IDF and illegal settlements in the West Bank. But donations to local journalism are not permitted the same status.

This is bad and we should say so. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

And the Australian govt is currently voting for laws that could make make criticising Israel’s genocide illegal.

neolithic guys get pissed if you tell them their cultures are organized by the type of pots and jewelry they made. "we called ourselves the blood hunters" "we conquered villages far beyond this horizon" sorry bud you're the western linear pottery culture now

The obvious difference between college protests for Palestinians in 2024 and the seeming lack of them now is that American unis are sanctioned from working with, investing in, and otherwise openly supporting the Iranian regime. The students had *local*, achievable goals for Palestine.

In memoriam, I recommend listening to the classic episode of @boontavista.com where they covered Adams's self-proclaimed ability to hypnotize listeners (and himself) into having no touch orgasms.

Holy hell, what an obituary

I am so very tired. Here’s more on the debacle that tanked Adelaide Writers Week, and the staggering racism involved. sakr.substack.com/p/resignatio...

Fuck the cops but double fuck immigration cops. There's no such thing as bad immigration, everybody has a right to safety and contentment, everybody who crossed the border worked their ass off to do so. ICE and DHS were already paramilitary forces before they were turned inwards.

All Peter Malinauskas' words about Randa Abdel-Fattah are a false equivalence, ignoring the dynamic of oppressed and oppressor. Palestinian resistance is legal and justified. Israeli genocide is not. I've seen far too many dead kids to tolerate any of this racist, moronic dribble.

"Assuming that deaths from deprivation were four times the violent deaths, then the 136,000 violent deaths after 15.5 months of killing (25 April 2025) would imply 544,000 Gaza deaths from imposed deprivation, and that the total Gazan death toll would accordingly be 680,000 deaths by 25 April"
