Updated reprints of 'Up The Duff' and 'Babies & Toddlers' have all the fact-checked info you need about immunisation/vaccination in Australia, how to keep pregnant people & little folk safe, including info on diseases to protect against, the truth about risks, & the recommended times to have 'em.

The Comey indictment is an advance glimpse of Donald Trump’s next attempted seizure of power, @davidfrum.bsky.social argues. “James Comey’s rights and liberties are not the only ones at risk today.” Read more: https://theatln.tc/Moii5gp1

In my almost six years as an Assistant U.S. Attorney, I never witnessed such a blatant abuse of the department. The DOJ is now little more than an arm of the president’s retribution campaign.

Meanwhile over on Facebook….

1/2 The Trump administration's interference in their national public health agency is deeply alarming. Medicine must be based on science & evidence - not political opinion. Otherwise we get it wrong and can do immense harm. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Trump & RFK jnr tell more lies. Good to see Australian experts out strong with the correct info. Also: autism is not a disease! And unvaxxed Amish kids are hospitalised at twice the rate of other kids with outbreaks of polio, rubella, whooping cough & COVID as per USA Today. Pic: Guardian Aust.

All kinds of insane, yet the Australian media and Opposition demand that our Prime Minister meets with the mad orange king.

In case you are considering taking medical advice from a moral and financial bankrupt.

Such a simple debunking. 1908: autism first described and named. 1943: autism first diagnosed. 1953: paracetamol first introduced commercially as Panadol. 1955: Tylenol first introduced.

As the mother of two wonderful people who have autism, I am feeling very stressed by the overwhelming amount of posts about Trump's ridiculous and unfounded statements. He's not a doctor, he's not a medical researcher nor is he even that bright. Why then so much coverage?

I conducted an experiment on what Tiktok and YouTube recommends when not logged in on the app. Given the social media ban only covers accounts, hard not to see this could be the experience for teens in Australia come December. www.theguardian.com/media/2025/s...

There’s no hiding the political retaliation and weaponization. It’s all out in the open.

Happy 88th anniversary to the Hobbit, published on this day in 1937. “In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit.” #JRRTolkien #MiddleEarth #TheHobbit tolkiengateway.net/wiki/The_Hob...

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption. Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow. People have power. Ask Target

A cyberattack disrupts operations at European airports, causing flight delays and cancellations.

There is no organisation called antifa, it's an idea. What Trump is doing is trying to criminalise *anyone* who opposes fascist regimes, like his. www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/9/...

So, where's the official response to this from our Head of State who was quite happy to wine and dine Trump just 24 hours ago? www.theguardian.com/media/2025/s...

UPDATE: Our ad has been pulled. While the Daily Telegraph and Herald Sun talk about freedom of speech all the time, they've decided that they won't be proceeding with our ad tomorrow. We still hope they will run our ad at a later date, because we need to broadcast the message, end the genocide!

"We need to be thinking about the future" said the Climate Change Minister chaser.com.au/national/gov...

All hail VICTOR!!! He's a real-life hero whose selflessness & courage is an inspiration to us all. Wishing you a complete & speedy recovery. I salute you, sir! 🫡

Read @amyremeikis.bsky.social's excellent column on Charlie Kirk that The New Daily saw fit to take down here: amyremeikis.substack.com/p/charlie-ki...

Human rights commissioner blasts Queensland government’s ‘hostile’ approach to First Nations people

Worth reading.

No imagination required.

This is how f-cked up MAGA on X are. I followed the TikTok account of Lance Twiggs today to get more details on him and suddenly 1.2 million MAGA crazies have seen that I’m an “accomplice” in Kirk’s murder.

My, my, my. How the tone has changed.

Netanyahu has murdered over 64,000 people in under a three year span.

Saw someone note that if Tyler Robinson had killed anyone else on the Utah campus (even if it had been multiple people) Kirk and his supporters would not have given one damn about them. We know this because not one of them gives a damn about the school shooting that happened the same day.

You can condemn a killing without mourning the victim.

A little reminder to all the keyboard commentators - just because you watched the entire first season of The Jackal, you're not an expert in marksmanship.

I have two professor colleagues who have faced threats and harassment due to the organization Charlie Kirk built, and they were not alone. We can denounce and loathe political violence without hagiography for its victims. This is dangerous nonsense.

A Palestinian boy in Gaza rescued his birds from under the rubble after Israeli forces destroyed Al-Ruya Tower in Gaza City.

Whatever is in the Epstein files is so incendiary that he is threatening to use the military on his own citizens. Think about that for a moment.

Last night, Russia launched one of the largest drone and missile strikes on Ukraine, targeting government buildings and civilian homes alike. Once again, the Kremlin is mocking diplomacy, trampling international law and killing indiscriminately.

Today in “I’ve had three decades to set up a direct debit”

This is not the AI boom creating a new type of work, this is a classic example of managers using automation to deskill old ones. Creative workers who once made a higher wage creating original art and writing are now paid in piecework to edit automated output. Bosses are using AI to cut labor costs.

I honestly thought at first that this was from @theonion.com but, sadly, no.

And Kaz both of them are well aware young kids and teenage boys are hearing this muck.

Anyone in Melbourne? Or maybe the police???? This cannot happen again

Alan Kohler “America is in the midst of an authoritarian revolution with global implications..The announcement about Lisa Cook came after Trump said: "I have the right to do anything I want to do. I'm the President of the US." Trump's statement needed more attention” www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

Basically today.

Nothing is more powerful and louder than love. It was one of the great honours of my life to host more than 300 refugees from Gaza today with the ASRC and PARA. We will not be divided, we will not let our hearts be dimmed by fear.

What stage of social cohesion is “neo-Nazis fighting in the streets”

Nazis on the streets. If only we had an antisemitism envoy.
