Who needs an Enabling Act when you have a presidential system that allows you to rule by decree and order your enemies murdered by the state.

The only "professional agitators" I've ever encountered at a protest are law enforcement.

Trump on who he wants investigated: "Soros is a name certainly that I keep hearing. I don't know. I hear a lot of different names. I hear names of some pretty rich people that are radical left people. Maybe I hear about a guy named Reid Hoffman."

The entirity of the far right ecosystem is now overtly tipping into open, and in Jones’ case irony drenched Nazism. bsky.app/profile/phil...

Reminder that jack p is being treated as a rational national figure when the reality is he is a violent fascist who openly believes that liberals and leftists should be genocided in massive show of force against anti fascists and anyone seen as an enemy to American Nazism.

Keep the pressure on: Government faces uphill battle to pass FOI reforms www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

The Australians on the flotilla we are in contact with are calling on all of us to contact the authorities to ask for help Ordinary people bringing food to starving people should not be getting attacked by the IDF! You can email [email protected] and contact Foreign Minister Penny Wong

Dr Assal Rad— "Headlines you don’t see in Western media."

"No single state should have veto power. And, if a member of the Security Council violates the UN Charter, its voting rights should be suspended." Finnish President Alexander Stubb nails it, at #UNGA80 www.presidentti.fi/en/statement...

The telco sector has been complaining the past few months about being overregulated so I decided to go back and see what Optus had said recently.

Wow — Italy and Spain have now both officially announced they're sending military ships to support the Gaza aid flotilla

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

The Sumud Flotilla is under attack. Thiago Ávila, a Brazilian organiser, reports 10 drone attacks on the smaller boats, seemingly to destroy their sails. Citizens from the entire world are aboard. It is carrying food for the victims of genocide. Governments need to protect it.

A lot of people worked for years to expose the scandal of Robodebt. But the big lie of ‘mutual obligation’ is still official policy in Australia. Until we treat people seeking help with respect, this stuff will continue

Good luck to her, she was roughly handled, but a reminder that none of this Federal Court trial stuff is workplace justice accessible. That only comes from being organised into a strong union. Your mistreatment is probably not an issue at large and lawyers will not care about you unless it suits.

The ABC has spent more than $2 million on a court case involving a temp employee who had 1 shift left. Pure management genius. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

Keeping the kiddies safe from malicious code. Fantastic work this.

Americans, to the world: Why won't you fix this problem we created?

i've been studying the right-wing for over a decade what is happening now in online right-wing spaces is fucking me up in ways that i'm currently unprepared for and don't know how to cope with

Every day, Albo and co find new ways to be a shittier government than the last one. I'm sure his housing commission mum would have a tear in her eye watching him sink the boot into the poors yet again.

the fact that so many people frame autism as “a problem that needs to be solved” is a constant reminder that being “not normal” isn’t acceptable to a large amount of the world. it’s the same reason there’s a trans panic right now too. they think people are defective

Investors are backing enough LNG tanker capacity to put the world on track for 4C of warming. This is when we're on track for 3C of warming and aiming for well below 2C. Investors are backing assets that'd be stranded even under the worst climate scenarios. www.businessgreen.com/news/4519373...

Sky News Australia staffer helped arrange bacon on guest’s shirt before offensive anti-Islam interview

Head of the AMA, Danielle McMullen: "There are no studies showing that paracetamol use in pregnancy causes autism." Any journalists giving one iota of credence to Trump's claims deserve to be sacked for propagating lies.

American Exceptionalism reaching its apotheosis

Incredible image. Also incredible that the vast majority of white Christians in this country align with the men in camo.

fascists in the government, anti-fascists are the terrorists. joke of an administration

As you can see, online postings, graphic designs, flags and symbols collected by Symbol Intelligence Group LLC, who contracts through law enforcement such as the FBI, have been collected, stored and distributed for law enforcement used and titled as “sensitive.”

Sensible? My @smh @theage cartoon.

Exclusive: distinguished Prof Fiona Stanley was ‘ashamed’ after the hospital named after her abruptly cancelled an event featuring Palestinian-Australian doctors speaking about their experiences in Gaza, and says she even considered asking the hospital to remove her name

Only 1 person in the whole study went from identifying as trans to not identifying as trans. The 1/5 number came from youth going between the binary and non-binary spectrum. This headline and post are misleading on purpose to fit the economist's editorial bent on the political issue.

My editorial on Essendon Football Club aired on 3AW Football and posted here earlier has been taken offline after legal threats from Adrian Dodoro. I’m not happy they’ve buckled. I said nothing defamatory and stand by every word of it. Please refer any queries to management.

Here's a tip for Labor: grow a spine and call out American fascism for what it is. You will be rewarded. No one here wants this Trumpian bullshit.

Time to stock up on canned goods

The "red scare" of the 1950s — where accusations of communism targeted high profile entertainers and gay public servants, among others — offers eerie parallels with modern America, @theshufflediary.bsky.social writes.

These people are really running low on normal behavior to pathologize

New Longcat v Tacgnol hath drop't. Behold you doom, for it is the hour of Chooknarok.

everything changed, everything destroyed, everything gone

Why wasn’t a federal investigation into Presidential campaign violations made public? This was caught on tape 8 weeks before the election? And the FBI just let Homan keep the FBI sting money?

Displaced Gaza City residents recount being chased by Israeli quadcopters after being forced to flee their shelters.

I have been provided evidence of Optus doing this, dating back to 2012. I have sent the evidence to Optus seeking a response. Optus has not responded. 3/3

The former Optus tech said that they (Optus) "often block 000 calls if it's not going through their network. Another source said that when they were with Optus, they "called police but couldn;t get through." "So I removed the SIM card [no carrier now] and was able to get through to Triple 0." 2/

JUST IN: The Optus Triple Zero outage is not new. Optus have done this before, and according to several sources (which include a former Optus tech and two communications experts). Triple 0 calls (or 112) are supposed to go through 'any network' if the carrier's network is not available. 1/

Prayers up for Greymouth

Power is the rock on which truth founders. The mainstream media, with a few exceptions, is a single-issue lobby group, whose purpose is to assert the rights of capital. Here's what I've learnt about the industry in 40 years in journalism. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

‘Of further concern is the heavy reliance on carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies, which are unlikely to occur as this technology is high-cost and unproven in many applications.’ - Rod Sims #ClimateCrisis CCS is a con! www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
