This year Oscars decided to whitewash russians. They nominated two russian propaganda movies for this year’s ceremony. Choosing those two over two Ukrainian movies that already won multiple awards in Europe. #UkrainianView #UAView

This is blatant censorship of an award winning journalist. #Politics #Gaza #Palestine

State owned #CleanCo has nixed an option to buy a 360 MW #wind project, saying it doesn’t fit with its new remit. Instead, it has signed up to a small 10-year-old wind farm.

You need to listen to this whole thing.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

If that's what they're willing to do in public, while being filmed, what do they do behind closed doors? www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/...

What kind of country permits its government to murder its citizens? Trump is a fascist and ICE are his Brownshirts. #Minneapolis

"He can stay, he can go. He can be impeached or voted out. But removing Trump will not remove the infrastructure of an entire party that embraced him; the dark money that funded him, online radicalization that drummed his army; nor the racism he amplified and reanimated." -Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

The USA’s new defense strategy is out. It focuses on US defense with less priority on China (or NATO). I cannot find mention of Australia or AUKUS in it. Mark Carney was correct. Australia is on its own. @samroggeveen.bsky.social @turnbullmalcolm.bsky.social media.defense.gov/2026/Jan/23/...

Hugh White and Adm Peter Briggs speak some plain truth about (lack of) progress on AUKUS submarines in this article. It’s an embarrassment the RAN doesn’t want to face. www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/politic...

This book should be required reading in every high school. Every citizen should know this.

Israel is deliberately making the West Bank uninhabitable for Palelstinians.

Is Australia really awash in antisemitism? This article applies some journalistic rigour to the question and finds the evidence lacking. #aupol #politics michaelwest.com.au/antisemitism...

Some good news on the climate front. The heat wave in SE Australia over the last two days was managed by the combination of renewable energy (solar) and batteries now in our grid. No blackout, no price rise. Renewable energy grids work. We no longer need coal and gas. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

@chrislhayes.bsky.social: “A 37-year-old American citizen, the mother of a young child is dead tonight. She was shot in the face by an agent of the federal government, and that government has spent the day telling despicable lies about her.”

Absolutely disgraceful. The Adelaide Festival has cancelled Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah from appearing.

For some reason I’m reminded that the Soviet Afghan war started with an impressive and successful Russian special forces mission to remove the Afghan head of state.

If you read Venezuela's pro-democracy activist Machado's letter after Maduro was removed she does NOT speak of welcoming oil oligarchs to Venezuela-she talks about the people controlling their own nation and assets. Trump did NOT want her or her allies for that reason www.cbsnews.com/news/venezue...

The booing of Australia’s PM at Sunday night’s vigil service was not spontaneous. It was highly orchestrated.

At the end of a tragic week in Australia after the Bondi Beach terrorist attack, some members of Australia’s news media have nothing to be proud of. Their prejudice is plain to see. www.smh.com.au/national/too...

This excellent article gives a blunt look at who is hijacking the Bondi shooting debate in Australia for their own ends. #politics theshot.net.au/uncategorize...

The more the arguments against Belgium handing over seized Russian assets to fund Ukraine change, the less I believe them.

In Australia as in USA, whenever there is a gun mass murder, gun lobbies always urge delay. It is the first step in their campaign to defeat reforms. #auspol

My compliments to the AFR for this very factual article that lays out what happened at the Bondi Beach shooting. Total time from first shot to both shooters down was 6 minutes. #Auspol #Bondi www.afr.com/politics/fed...

If people are going to start casting blame for the Bondi attack, remember who blocked the banning of multi-round shotguns. It was National Party senator Bridget McKenzie. #Auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2016-10...

This is exactly why I won’t be attending US engineering conferences any more. Why risk thousands of dollars in air fares, accommodation and fees to be sent back on the whim of a border guard?
