Steve Bannon interfered in the 2019 Australian federal election, as part of a global effort to stifle climate action. He should face investigation under Australia’s foreign interference laws. #auspol www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

In 2013, Jeffrey Epstein invited Elon Musk to hang out with him and Woody Allen, of all people!, in the Caribbean. Musk said ‘Yes.’ (Per DOJ files). He has so much explaining to do.

This is creepy as hell. Will Musk be asked by reporters to explain this?

Israeli strikes kill 29 Palestinians, including 6 children and 2 women. That is not a ceasefire. It’s a continuation of the genocide. apnews.com/article/mide...

Yesterday, Todd Blanche said that people weren't going to find in the Epstein files what we always suspected. And while I'm mostly watching what others find in the Epstein files second hand, I keep thinking, are you fucking HIGH? Everything I'm seeing is precisely what we expected.

Ain’t I been telling you the reactionary backlash was driven by the very rich and powerful watching regular people use social media to accuse Harvey Weinstein of sex crimes, then watching him dragged sobbing to jail, unprotected by his enormous wealth? What do you think the cancel culture panic was.

Oh dear. Our favourite Fellow of the @royalsociety.org is in the news again

The thing the Epstein files tells us about the mega rich is their unlimited wealth bought them murders, kompromat and STDs

did my critical Ai literacy workshop point students directly to the fact that data centres are racist planetary destruction for and by rapey billionaires even before XAi started spewing out 6,000 CSAM images per hour? Yes, yes it did.

More on this. It looks like they were planning a trip for Elon Musk to visit Jeffrey Epstein’s Island on Jan 2, 2014.

The release date reception for "Melania" is so exceptionally bad that they decided to release more Epstein files 😂 www.the-independent.com/arts-enterta...

A new statement from Epstein survivors: "Once again, survivors are having their names and identifying information exposed, while the men who abused us remain hidden and protected. That is outrageous."

Movie review from Guardian on Melania.

Elon Musk publicly slandering that cave diver as a "pedo guy" after he begged Jeffrey Epstein for island party invites is just incredible

every epstein file drop underscores how elite power operates through shared socio-economic networks, regardless of people's ideological differences, populist posturing, or public feuds

xbox live took stronger action against jeffrey epstein than the entire us government

This is genuinely important. The White House seems MOST concerned with suppressing any evidence that Melania fucked Epstein before he passed her to Donald. They could have redacted ALL women as a way to suppress that.

Devastated. Gutted. Never met her but this feels like a personal loss. As great as any comedic performer of my lifetime. Rest In Peace, Catherine O'Hara.

Bondi directed federal agents to arrest four journalists. Georgia Fort, Don Lemon, Jamael Lundy, and Trahern Crews. All Black. All doing their jobs.

Ahhh. The timing of the bogus arrests all begins to make sense.

New from 404 Media: here is the user guide for ELITE, the tool Palantir made for ICE. A map shows people on a map; ICE clicks them, brings up their dossier. ICE uses to find which neighborhoods to target. We obtained it, you can now read the document for yourself: www.404media.co/here-is-the-...

This is so unhinged

Here's me. "It's only terrorism if they're not white"

they missed the bit where Aly stated that foreign nationals were targets of the shooting. Our public figures refuse to talk about the Israelis because all but orthodox Jewish Israelis are conscripted into the Israeli military, who are committing genocide. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

there is no reason for a foreign head of state to come here and mourn innocent civilian patriotic Australians.

Given the earnings Tesla just reported, it makes sense to shift money they don’t have out of making cars they can’t sell and into a speculative AI venture focused on hallucinatory non-consensual nude image generation.

If you ever wanted a working definition of structural racism, our structures are currently performing a textbook example.

Did not think it was possible to make a show worse than Q+A but I always underestimate the ABC

Thanks to all the commentators on the absolute outrage of a rightwing attempted terrorist attack in Perth🇦🇺on Monday/mainstream response. The attempt to set off a shrapnel bomb failed to ignite, thank god. It’s all being treated as normal. If he were non-White, the hysteria would dominate. 🤬🤬 #Auspol

NEW: Our investigation for @thenerve_news reveals not only that Peter Thiel’s Palantir is completely enmeshed in our critical national infrastructure. It’s also the ‘cloud support’ for our nuclear weapons system 🤯 1/ www.thenerve.news/p/palantir-t...

After spending $75M on this humiliating bribe, he's gutting WaPo. I suspect this was more than a bribe. I suspect it was extortion, and wonder whether the Saudis didn't share dirt on Bezos.

White racist literally threw a bomb at black people to kill them, apparently not a sufficient cause to have a moral panic, special envoy, national introspection, royal commission, terrorism declaration, new laws, 1,000 op-eds in The Australian. We're struggling to identify why that might be.

How is this not terrorism?

Scott’s back in the news again, so it’s worth pointing out that none of these smug cunts have suffered any kind of inconvenience let alone punishment for their role in the deadly #RoboDebt scheme #NACC #Auspol

News rooms urge caution around using the word 'terrorism' when talking about throwing a bomb at an Invasion Day protest, "it's not like something extreme happened like a uni student eating a slice of watermelon."

What things like the attempted terrorist attack in Perth and Scott's public Islamophobia speak to is the deep social division our governments and media have facilitated by the self-evident hypocrisy in how they've dealt with the past two years of domestic rupture arising from Israel/Gaza.

“To you this is murder?” “Yes. I know it is. — People are feeling like there’s nobody here to help us. What can we do? The constitution doesn’t seem to matter.” She witnessed the killing of Alex Pretti, now she is bravely coming forward. Stella is the best of us. 🇺🇸

“I watched him die… then I watched them maneuver his body like a rag doll— only to discover it was because they wanted to count the bullet wounds and see how many they ‘got’, like he was a deer.”

A white guy threw a homemade bomb into a crowd protesting colonialism in Australia and the media have broadly reframed it in more gentle terms, eg this describing it as a "device" that was 'designed to explode'.

“Well it’s too late now.” No. It really isn’t.

“We can’t eliminate SARS.” We can, and we did. “Well poor countries can’t do it.” Poor countries eliminate bad diseases all the time, with some outside help in the past. Yeah. Even airborne ones. The only reason we have COVID-19 circulating is because rich countries said so.

Put the Hoodoo Gurus on the flag and we'll salute that

Long way to go yet but I think it's worth pointing out that the entire rightwing media ecosystem went all in on the idea that Americans, or at least enough of us, would accept the idea that the government should be able to murder people in the street and they failed utterly

If “Australia Day” now means freeing neo-Nazis and attacking immigrants, it doesn’t represent any Australian values I recognise. #auspol

Oh just another breakfast TV host normalising racism and hatred

Stephen Miller, Not (Just) Kristi Noem and Greg Bovino, Must Be Held Accountable www.emptywheel.net/2026/01/26/s...

"Stephen Miller has believed that if he just created enough fascist spectacle, people would learn to love his thuggery. That was always failing because — it turns out — not as many people get erotic pleasure out of watching armed men roll around in the street on top of a brown person..."

Yeah, nah. Sorry Madame Governor General but I don't need to be religious to do kind things or be a good person. And I certainly don't require a government commitment to do so. As usual, religion gets special privilege. We are a secular nation. #Auspol
