NEW: The death shadow cast by Musk. “When U.S.-supported soup kitchens were forced to close, babies starved quietly, their mothers said, while older siblings died begging for food.” The world’s richest man did this to the world’s poorest children. Don’t ever forget.

Whacked on the BBC Glasto coverage to see what they were showing instead of Kneecap and caught Amy of Amyl & the Sniffers giving a pro Palestine speech... Beeb editors playing whack-a-mole

Really - don’t miss this #SundayShot #auspol

The full #SundayShot is now up for your viewing pleasure! Watch the video rather than past livestream as we had a few gremlins today and you don't want to miss a minute of @joshbornstein.bsky.social and @dncameron.bsky.social's insights on the ALP, ABC and more. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RTr...

1. Today, 200,000 marched in Budapest Pride in defiance of a ban by Orbán's far-right government. It was led by the city's mayor Gergely Karácsony, who got around the law by making it an "official city gathering." He was warned of arrest. They marched anyway. Subscribe to support my journalism.

"Housing choices Australia" is the "social housing" "provider" who also put him thru 10 inspections a year Court documents allege the 66-year-old Noongar man was sent termination notice while hospitalised and grieving the death of his nephew www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

New: It’s absurd and embarrassing in a liberal democracy to have to say this, but people shouldn’t be punished for protesting against genocidal oppression, or speaking about it. So many cultural institutions have done this very thing though - and damaged themselves in the process.

The #SundayShot is up! Get the historical context on this week's Coalition chaos with our expert panel. I KNOW they're not the Government but it's fascinating and useful to understand this background of the alliance and the implications of its potential demise. www.youtube.com/live/rtdBmc0...

If you’re wandering around Sydney Writers’ Festival or the area today I’m on at 3pm talking about Mean Streak, the robodebt story and various other unfiltered thoughts I have about the state of things. www.swf.org.au/program/seas...

And that's the point: for most western politicians and media, Palestinians' lives don't matter. At all.

Lots of sub groups Repeal the Teals, and oodles money from Advance, Australians for prosperity. Other groups bidding for the Libs We need truth in politics and lobbying reform….something the duopoly won’t touch

A New York corrections officer admitted in court that he cleaned up blood from the fatal beating of an inmate in an attempt to conceal evidence.

Tim Wilson might be suffering from premature celebration. His lead is narrowing by the day, and there's more than enough votes left for Zoe to win. #auspol

No, you’re not crazy. They are deporting brown people and importing white people.

I repeat - this is a GREAT time to be a progressive. Don’t let party shills tell you now’s the time to pay it safe, to do small “real” things (code for things the Libs will rip out the moment they get back in power) Every Labor MP should look at their first speech and ask - am I pushing for this?

And for the love of his do not listen to anyone who says “yeah but look what happened when Howard was bold and he did WorkChoices” Are you saying things the ALP should do are bad like that?! FFS you think dental in Medicare will be hated? Real spending on public education will be hated?

Wouldn't Trumpet of Patriots or One Nation be a better fit?

Piers Morgan is a POS but man is this interview wild - based on the way her tone changes I don't think she realized the implications of what she said until after she said it. If you look closely you can see her realize she is absolutely cooked in real time.

Some amazing polling from @australiainstitute.org.au shows a growing rejection of AUKUS and the major parties' reliance on the US and Donald Trump. More below👇

Memo to the media - it’s not your job to rehabilitate the Liberal Party. Go find some other contacts. You can actually hold the government to account without starting your reports “the Opposition leader today criticised…”

I don't see a progressive parliament. I see fascism and ego stroking and Industry lurkers and Zionists and nazis and worse than that centrist. The door holders for all the above.

The Labor Government does not have a majority in the Senate and will need the support of other parties to pass legislation. Our research finds 70% of Australians say the Senate should review and scrutinise every government policy on its merits. Media release:

Labor's treatment of Chandler-Mather was so vicious that other MPs complained about it. And all the victorious PM — who knows damn well how they treated him, and what happened with the votes in Griffith — can do is whine that the young MP was mean to him www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

Weird isn't it. You hear comments like that and you reflect on yourself and your friends around you and think "do people really thing we are extremists"? Just kinda normal caring empathetic people. What kind of sociopath would call my friends "extreme"?

It’s extremist to care about social justice, minorities and war crimes like genocide now, according to Labor and our media.

"Albanese readily exhibits empathy and emotion." For Palestinians? Just fuck off with this shit. And as for "father figure Tom Uren" I'm hard pressed to believe Uren who campaigned strongly against the Vietnam war would support Israel/US's genocide in Palestine. theconversation.com/the-feminisa...

@janecaro.bsky.social Tagging you Jane to give this stunningly written article by Brooke Boney greater exposure. Note she has just released a book, All of It, a collection of essays. Such a pity this article is behind a paywall. www.smh.com.au/national/wel...
