A government machine that sees welfare recipients as parasites can easily treat the most vulnerable of people as numbers and disregard enormous suffering - even disregard the law.

A must watch. Putin, Erdogan and Orban all consolidated their countries’ media under the control of friendly oligarchs to crush dissent. That same process is now very nearly complete in Trump’s America. youtu.be/7UXYxs6ZmzA?...

Khanna: It’s going to be a bombshell press conference tomorrow at 10:30 a.m. The American people will hear directly from survivors of the Epstein abuse. And they’re not just going to talk about Epstein’s and Maxwell’s abuse — they’re going to talk about rich and powerful men…

That's my money, Ita! What a fiasco. #lattouf www.theguardian.com/media/2025/s...

The Govt’s shocker deportation bill is a direct attack on the right to due process, a shameful insight into the deterrence & punishment at the heart of Aust’s asylum seeker policy, as well as contempt for the courts. Aus should be better than this #auspol #politas

"The main misjudgment was to persist in using the organisers’ description of the rallies as 'March for Australia' and 'anti-immigration' after it had become obvious the emotional dynamo behind them was racism." Legacy media needs to call a spade a Nazi. #auspol theconversation.com/neo-nazis-an...

Dear Latrobe University. If you're uncomfortable with writers having opinions about genocide, or daring to criticise the starvation of civilians you've no business educating anyone.

Ethnic cleansing and forced relocation is NOT "resettlement". Western news media is complicit in Israel's genocide by its repeated unquestioning use of Israel's terminology and reporting its propaganda as fact. #WordsMatter #FactsMatter #JournalismMatters #IsraeliWarCrimes #GazaGenocide

What a banal way of describing the march toward fascism.

Evidence-based policy is frequently at odds with both major parties, who are too focused on not upsetting big business. #auspol

Not only will we continue to demand the release of the unredacted (other than that of the victims), Epstein files, we demand the victims be heard! We don't care what a convicted sex trafficker has to say. The only voices that matter are those of the victims. 1/2
