Mamdani gathered the most feared people of the powerful & rich and used their wisdom/knowledge to prove to us that if we collaborate, come together, join forces, we are truly unbreakable and a force to be reckoned with! #powertothepeople #everythingispolitical #thisisourfuture

As much as I hate the algorithm, I am quite chuffed with myself that my IG shares critical thinking book recommendations; YT recommends scientific innovations to information about new tech. I did that! I trained the algorithm to get me hooked on learning rather than rotting. #UseTechForGood

Talking with a neighbour yesterday and she is convinced it’s all doom & gloom. I had to keep reiterating that that’s what they want us to believe. There is more good than bad. Bad just has better PR. Thank our stars we have people like @sambentley.bsky.social showing all the goodness out there 🤗

April reading wrap-up (a little late whoops): I actually had a good month. ‘Pemi Aguda’s Ghostroots blew me away with every story. Shoko’s Smile was another close contender. My main goal this year is to add more non-fiction this year. Expand my critical thinking. #booksky #readingispolitical

This is not new news. We’ve known for 50+ years how to do this… the fossil fuel industry have spent billions of $$ to create dissent and mistrust in renewables for a reason. Cos it is far more economical and ecological to invest in green energies. But they don’t care about that #subwaytakes

Glorious day to sit outside get my vitamin D fill and exercise my critical brain #booksky #readingispolitical

Absolutely loved this collection. Choi Eunyoung’s gentle sadness writing style seeps into your pores and you feel everything each of the protagonists feel. This truly surprised me as I didn’t think I would like it. #booksky #readtofreeyoursoul

There’s been a massive road accident near my place. For awhile I could hear sirens coming from everywhere. Once I heard the helicopter ambulance I knew it was bad. I’ve seen a picture. It’s not nice. There is someone fighting for their life today. And all I can think is that capitalism is to blame

We are able to experience history in the making. I was always so jealous of those in the 60-70s that got to see the beginning of space flight and the lunar landings. And now I get to see too 🤓🥹🤩 Today the crew are going around the moon. Watch live here: www.youtube.com/live/m3kR2KK...

Beautiful day to sit in the sun and read ☀️🤓📖 #booksky #readingispolitical #readtobefree

“There are catastrophic risks coming right now… but the insurance industry won’t help people in 20 years’ time with their flooded houses.” - Richard Denniss, co-Chief Executive Officer Support a climate disaster levy: https://nb.australiainstitute.org.au/climatedisasterlevy

Without a 25% tax on gas exports, Australians are missing out on billions of dollars in revenue. That's billions of dollars Australians aren't getting for gas that belongs to them, that could be going to essential services. @nicboele.bsky.social #auspol

It’s that time of month again…….. reading wrap up!!! I have to say, I surprised myself this month. It felt like a slog. But I had quite a few bangers in there! #booksky #readingispolitical

All the money spent of fossil fuel propaganda (looking at you BHP) could actually be used fund free education for all. You haven’t up-skilled anyone, you’re taking away the future for all

The way the Aus gas propaganda machine is trying to scare you that if we tax foreigners entities 25% then the whole of Aus’ manufacturing & babies in hospitals will die. This is a lie. A 25% tax on these exports ~$65B comes back into the community which will go into social services, such as Medicare

Just finished: I can’t say I loved this book, I didn’t hate it, it’s beautifully written about the complexities of relationships and how we evolve and change, often adjacent, well, askew to our partners… I suppose I was hoping for a bit more weird. Overall, it’s a lovely book. #booksky #books

This week Donald Trump threatened more war crimes on the people of Iran. We're in the most dangerous phase of this crisis and pretending otherwise is reckless. As a human rights lawyer, I break down the four plausible scenarios from here. Three are catastrophic. Only one protects humanity.

British Journalist UNCOVERS SHOCKING Iran War COVER-UP

Current read - Red Sword by Bora Chung: since this book is based on war where innocent people have to fight in defense of empire and they are merely just collateral damage when they are gruesomely killed, it feels right that I should be reading this in these times.

Iran is not giving up and quite frankly they are hurting the west right where it hurts, their wallets. As much as I am mad about petrol prices, I also have to commend Iran for fucking with these billionaire bought maniacal western governments.

I truly want to believe that this will uplift African nations, but when money is involved it’s so hard to tell

My voice doesn’t travel very far. Not a lot of people listen to me. This includes family and friends. The other day I informed my friend to stop using ChatGPT and switch to Claude and she did. And this melted my heart. Though my voice is small, I’ll keep shouting so that one person may hear me.

Ahhh losing my mind before 10am is always a sure sign of what kind of day is going to come… good morning to me 🫤

Neoliberalism is dead. Fascism is fighting to survive. Informed citizens are on the rise! So who will you choose to stand with? I know where I will be; on the right side of history #nowar #informedcitizen #revolution

This needs to be on repeat. It has to be countered every time “but they had nuclear bombs”… Every single time remind them that the only country in the Middle East with nuclear weapons capabilities is Israel! The only two countries bombing the world, the US & Israel, have nuclear weapons 🤔🧐🤨

I’m not sure why I’m bothering posting this. I struggled to read this month. The state of the world keeps me in a perpetual state of anxiety. I guess Klein talks about the shadow world. And Green points out that disease mitigation, or lack of, is wholly due to the global north allowing it to exist.

It's not just "Iran cannot be allowed to have a nuclear weapon," but NO ONE should have nuclear weapons Nukes exist for 1 purpose—to mass murder millions. This week I interview 1985 Nobel Peace laureate Dr. Ira Helfand, who won for helping end the cold war Subscribe www.qasimrashid.com/subscribe

At a family lunch recently my relatives were going on about Irans nuclear capabilities. I said this in a very calm voice - to my own surprise. “Iran’s nuclear program is for civilian use. Only Israel has nuclear capabilities.” They didn’t believe me. No one ever does. And now, here we are.

I really hope this reporter goes home rethinking over this incredibly stupid question… over and over and over. They’re not randomly bombing US military bases. They’re retaliating.

“Every Republican president comes to office, cuts benefits for the poor, cuts taxes for the rich, raises prices, and then bombs a Middle East country.” @mehdirhasan.bsky.social explains how Trump’s ‘anti-war’ campaign was a lie, noting the president has bombed seven countries in his second term.

Well fuckity fuck fuck fuck! 🤯🫠😵 If it sounds like a terrorist, looks like a terrorist, smells like a terrorist, then it must be a fucking terrorist! Sanction Isr@el & the US NOW!!! share.upscrolled.com/en/post/76a2...

It’s true that when the people stand up for their democratic rights, the common misconception that we are just mere citizens with no power or influence, is thrown out. We are the biggest threat to these authoritarians. We outnumber them exponentially. And if show no fear. That’s when they fear…

This scares me on so many different levels. Not only for human life, but for all life. Without bio-diversity, all life ceases to exist. We need to be so fucking angry that these narcissistic tyrants have allowed it to get to this point! They MUST be held accountable!!! youtu.be/h6xiMcu2-7w?...

Though we see more darkness than lightness these days on our feeds, it is also so important to see that good always prevails. We are born innately good… and this is just living proof ❤️🖤🤍💚🇵🇸🕊️ substack.com/@wkamaubell/...

I didn’t become an informed citizen overnight. It’s taken a lot of reading, for awhile it had to be fiction as my feed was giving me all the non-fiction I could handle. But the fiction always had the ethics, the politics that I needed to keep pushing myself to stay informed vt.tiktok.com/ZSmybgEYA/

The way the word peace has been tossed around for decades has got to be the biggest joke…”there’ll be no peace in the Middle East” yeah well when you’re purposely putting in heads of state that do your bidding for you (crimes against humanity) yeah, there won’t be any peace. This won’t be different

Today is just another day why it’s important to have academic politicians rather than career. Angus Taylor tried to sweet talk his way around why billions of dollars being spent on powerlines is “wastage” but had that shitstain read 1 fucking report he’d know that powerlines cause a lot of fires.

THEY what us to to fight each other. Don’t! Stop! Look! Listen! We are all struggling! THEY created this hellscape and THEY should be held accountable for the insurmountable damage they have caused. I will fight for those who don’t look/think/pray like me. I hope they also will fight for me!

Aus also has legislation in place to ensure foreign entities & laws do not override domestic laws. And yet this is always the no. 1 argument that is emphasized for those against Muslims 🙄 The marriage laws of different faiths is interesting though. What will they say if I counter it with this? 🤔

The irony that a family member has invited me to an Anne Frank play but will also not acknowledge the children currently hiding in attics from ICE, children in tents being purposely starved to eradication in GAZA, and all the other black/brown children whose futures are being stolen.

This never gets old and will never get old… it takes 3% of the population to make change. Protesting works!

One observation I have to comment on is that they thought that we would stay divided that we would shrivel back into the individualistic terror of having everything taken away from us. Yet, we’re standing side by side saying, but you already have! Come at me now when I have nothing left to lose!

Open your eyes! See the truth! Don’t let their lies be louder than reality! We know right from wrong, they know that. That’s why they try to confuse us.

Bad Bunny ends his Super Bowl halftime show in front of a sign reading "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE"

I’ve lost count of how many people lost their jobs simply for speaking up for Palestine. We can count on one finger how many people have gone to prison for child sex trafficking. We live in a corrupt system where condemning genocide is punishable but trafficking children is not.😐

They always say the quiet part out loud. We have to start listening to this. Use that little meat sack floating in cerebrospinal fluid; the biggest asset you own. Pay very close attention because they don’t lie. They say it very clearly, that is of course, if you’re actually paying attention.

I want to say I’m shocked by all this news… but it’s not shocking anymore. For a lot of us we’ve stopped ignoring the signs… for the rest of you, it’s time to catch up youtube.com/shorts/13sQI...
