Excessive force. PERIOD! They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor. 📌 Keep sharing videos, everyone, because they’re evidence.

In 1953 beverage and packaging companies founded 'Keep America Beautiful'; hugely influential. Their ads made the problem look simple. People were to blame for pollution. Worse, research showed they knew large-scale plastics recycling was neither technically feasible nor economically viable.

The arrogance, punching down, and unaccountability of the Albanese govt on social security policy is astounding. Hard to distinguish from the Morrison regime. But what they share is accountability only to powerful lobby groups - like the profiteers who run [so-called] employment services. #auspol

“State capture.” A form of corruption so deeply embedded that it shapes the rules of democracy itself. We see it every day here. If we don’t confront it, starting with ‘calling it’ & voting for ethically aligned Greens & independents, it will increase. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

Legal experts say that extrajudicial killing is extrajudicial killing, gee thanks legal experts

Mamdani probably would have been expelled from the ALP

Donald Trump has threatened New York City if it elects Zohran Mamdani. Imagine a leader did somewhere in Asia, Africa or Latin America. Would we regard that country as a democracy? youtube.com/shorts/M35dY...

Note the reference to so called 'extreme' anti Israel activists. Note Burgess doesn't seem concerned by the extremists in the #Zionist lobby www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

The veil drops… Liberal and Labor are really just two factions of the one establishment party.

Dick Cheney has died. Various other warmongers of the US empire have praised him; including Democrats like Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Bill Clinton, and Nancy Pelosi. If there’s one thing that can bring Democrats and Republicans together, it’s war crimes and the slaughter of millions.

'Half Yours', the winner this afternoon of Australia's most famous horse race 😪 Some would have you believe that horses love being treated this way.

Gift horse. My @smh @theage cartoon.

🤣

The major parties refuse to listen to farmers. Both Labor and Liberal only listen to fossil fuel billionaires. Follow the money. theaimn.net/farmers-spea...

Australia’s richest person — who happens to be a devotee of Donald Trump — has emerged as one of the biggest winners of the US-China spat over strategic minerals. Read the Big Take: bloom.bg/4oPJmlo 🎨: Mark Harris 📷️: Getty & Alamy

How about our governments sponsor a 3 day event that celebrates something productive for a change?! "Much of the protest focused on the NSW government’s role in hosting and sponsoring the expo amid the conflict in Gaza. Exhibitors include Israeli weapons manufacturers..."

If you didn’t know who you’d be, would you design this society? youtu.be/fPAMQer1K8I?... If not, why put up with it?

Bloody hell! "A strategic handover of core military functions to a private company whose founder, Peter Thiel, has declared that “freedom and democracy are no longer compatible.”"

Labor’s Paul Keating introduced odious concept of mutual obligation and ‘log cabin’ @albomp.bsky.social continues support draconian & ineffective contracted private jobless harassment posse. May have changed the name to *Workforce Australia* but the MO remains just as unconscionable #auspol

It's Melbourne Fucup day

No hurry. My @smh @theage cartoon.

How many people have the courage to face reality? "A roundup of charts showing 1) we're fucked, 2) we're getting fucked sooner than we thought, and 3) there's nothing we can do to stop it." www.collapse2050.com/11-charts-to...

Sudan is facing a deadly proxy war, waged by foreign nations seeking to colonize Sudan’s vast gold reserves arable lands & Red Sea shipping ports Both Biden & Trump administrations determined that the UAE - backed RSF is committing genocide in Sudan. Yet the US continues to sell weapons to the UAE

DEMs need to prepare legislation to protect every citizen's rights regarding the scanning of people's faces. See what Denmark is doing. IA techs will scream but so be it.

On every single major network or newspaper, such is the depraved state of affairs 🤷‍♂️

The very predictable result of Albo's first home buyer scheme. At least Albo is consistent - only ever looking after those with money. Huge mortgages; and what happens in the event of a significant house price correction? www.macrobusiness.com.au/2025/11/aust...

Sadly, these 'rules' and 'principles' seem to encourage people to delude themselves that they are 'good' people, doing the 'right' thing.

Kerala has officially been declared free from extreme poverty, a milestone achieved through a long, transparent, and participatory process. Extreme poverty was defined as the condition of families deprived of basic needs such as food, shelter, clothing, healthcare, and a minimum income.

To all the extremely obvious astro-turfers (thank you for your attention, it's validating 👋) in The Sunday Shot's live chat that want to see more "balance" i.e. right-wing bullshit, just watch.... I dunno, every single other show on TV? We are the balance across a decrepit landscape. You'll cope!

A reminder that ‘mutual obligation was introduced by the Hawke/Keating neoliberal @australianlabor.bsky.social Govt #auspol

"to tolerate fascist violence as a harsh necessity in the face of Left provocation"

The notion that we’re going to be better off than preceding generations has been true. But it’s palpably not true now. We must also reconsider the eco-modernist story that we can avert planetary collapse through new tweaks to capitalism and technological breakthroughs.
