Robert Morris will serve just six months of his 10-year sentence.

The stage of deterioration where gangs of large (mostly) white men just publicly assault people who seem to be brown because they're brown in the hopes of doing far more harm to them in the name of the state. Glad this one escaped.

A US citizen & human rights defender identified as Rachel S. was abducted & beaten by ICE Trump regime forces in LA, then transported to the hospital and then a detention center, local rights defenders demand an investigation. She is heard screaming: "Let me go! I am an American! I was born here!"

Lifeblood. My @smh cartoon.

“I can confirm we are seeing single gunshot wounds to the head, neck, and chest.” “Just 2 days ago, we lost 6 children under the age of 12 to single shots to the head.” “This is worse than anything I have ever witnessed.” —American doctor Kathleen Gallagher speaking from Gaza

"The Republican official who seems to have played a role in suspending Kimmel once specifically condemned the censorship of 'late-night comedians.'" @premthakker.bsky.social dives into the background of Brendan Carr. Read more: zeteo.com/p/trump-fcc-...

Truly outrageous. Erasing the evidence of mounting suffering won't make it go away. It's just a matter of time before he cancels the annual homeless count.

Nothing says “freedom” like federally enforced grief. www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

Yes it’s a scary time, but the momentum is shifting. If people like Karl Rove, Tucker Carlson, and John Yoo are defending free speech or criticizing his extreme powers, then we do have momentum and the power to fight back. Americans keep going and use your voice!

New Yorker nailed it

Actual beans, finally. Spring in this Adelaide backyard.

The National Climate Risk Assessment reveals the devastating consequences facing Australia from climate change. Approving new fossil fuel exports is destroying our future. Read more ⤵️ australiainstitute.org.au/post/devasta...

These terrorists were Felon supporters! The killer of Minnesota lawmaker & husband; attempted kidnapper of Gretchen Whitmer; Obama & Biden’s pipe bomber; Josh Shapiro’s house arsonist; the murderer of the (D) judges son; the man who beat Pelosi’s husband with a hammer! www.tiktok.com/t/ZTM1PtmRJ/

If this became a weekly series, it would run longer than The Simpsons.

Calling it now: almost all the coming crackdown on progressive groups will be focused on those that provide funding, resources, research, knowledge, or assistance of other kinds to Democratic candidates, voters, and institutions focused on winning the midterm elections. An authoritarian crackdown.

It is here. McCarthyism 2.0. Wrongthink now gets you on a list that is openly trying to liaison with the government (which has already said it will be doing similar work in the weeks to come). The list referenced below now exceeds 100,000 people. People on the list are already getting death threats.

Christ on a bike Tony Abbott is still a cunt, isn’t he?

Funnily enough, there’s no sign of Woodside's plant in the photos of Murujuga on the UNESCO World Heritage website.

The Government has revealed conditions for Woodside's North West Shelf gas project approval: strict limits on nitrous oxide pollution. Woodside says the conditions are "not technically feasible." If the project isn't feasible without damaging Murujuga, it shouldn't be allowed to go ahead. #auspol

Adelaide Spring Day Sunflower and borage seeds are sprouting. Seed potatoes are pushing up through and need mounding. All 6 raspberry canes are setting buds. Mizuna are ready for transplanting out into beds.

The U.S. economy barely added any jobs last month, and the majority of industries are actually shedding workers. Without gains in the healthcare and hospitality sectors, there would have been no growth in payrolls this year, according to an economist who previously warned of a “jobs recession.”

Jannik Sinner from Italy playing today #USOpen. Trump will attend as a guest of Rolex "How Mussolini led Italy to fascism: the Italian dictator's memory still haunts the nation a century after toppling the government and ushering in an age of brutality." www.nationalgeographic.com/history/arti...

Seacliff beach this morning - but it could be Bondi. Our oceans are on fire. Dead marine life all over the beach. Scientists warned us. Now we are in it. End new fossil fuels. Stop subsidising coal and gas. Our world is on fire and our kids will cop it big time.

More than half of Roseland residents — and 90% of its children — live in poverty. In the town of 1,200, Smitty’s, which employed roughly 450 people, was an economic lifesaver.

Trump is now doing extra judicial killings. He ordered a boat on the high seas bombed. Killed 11 people. We have not been shown any proof they were drug smugglers It was murder. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/04/u...

open.substack.com/pub/heatherc... It never ends. What kind of society sends children back to abuse, neglect, violence and TORTURE? We have no humanity.

Maintain tariffs long enough and American manufacturing will have to start making things to replace the stuff Americans used to buy overseas. This takes time but is made worse when the machines needed to make the machines are made overseas and would attract a tariff to import.

MASSIVE❗ "there has been methane leaking from the facility in huge quantities" (since 2006) “What we have here is a cover-up at every conceivable scale, by ConocoPhillips, by Santos and by a range of regulators” NTEPA, NT WorkSafe, Clean Energy Regulator, NOPSEMA, & CSIRO all knew about the leak

I called this segregationist way back in February: www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Until the Labor Government admits its role, repudiates its own neoliberal legacy and rebuilds public education as a universal good, its claim to be the party of equality will ring hollow. #auspol #publiceducation

The Danish government warns that the days of America as a friend and ally are past, and Denmark must now reckon with Trump's America as an adversary carrying out sabotage and dangerous influence operations on Danish soil. In many ways, America is behaving just like Putin's Russia.

Concert outside the White House! #cdnpoli

MADDOW: “Watch what he does, not what he says.” @maddow.msnbc.com asks the media to zoom out and see Trump firing professionals in law enforcement and the military as a precursor for what he’s planning to ask them to do — and imagine if it was happening in another country.

The incredibly muted political response to sovereign citizens being responsible for the murder of four police officers in 12 months is remarkable. The police / spook / political / media extremist framework is clearly only designed to be deployed against Islamic extremism, any other form breaks it.

Epstein survivor Sarah Ransome on Ghislaine Maxwell: “I have spent the last 17 years in my own prison for what she, Jeffrey, and all the co-conspirators did to me. I was raped three times a day. Ghislaine must die in prison.”

Gina Rinehart doubled down this week on her investment in Trump Media & Technology Group. She now owns 67 per cent of the company, which operates the social media platform Truth Social. The company booked a US$20 million quarterly loss and her holding is now worth about US$4.5 million.

UPDATE: Fox News reports that ICE told Kilmar Abrego Garcia they are going to deport him to Uganda on Monday.

Is an army of DPS officers needed to remove 3 peaceful protesters & Senator Molly Cook for supporting Nicole Collier? Nicole Collier represents Ft. Worth-district 33, of which 80% of voters are Black & Latino. Their votes will be diluted when Republicans carve them out of the current district.

An explosive read💥 "The scientist said they were "dismayed" at the WA premier's comments. "I completely disagreed with every sentence," they said." #NorthWestShelfExtension #SaveMurujuga #BrowseToNorthWestShelf #ScottReef

Nick Kristof: ‘Americans have seen what was going on in Gaza, yet our leaders enabled mass killing and starvation. Gaza represents not some distant and inevitable tragedy, but our own moral and practical failing. We have blood on our hands.” www.nytimes.com/2025/08/16/o...

BREAKING: Israeli attacks across Gaza have killed at least 79 Palestinians, including 41 aid seekers, since the early hours of this morning, medical sources told Al Jazeera. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/dok3fu

www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... I think the organisers should give special thanks to @chrisminnsmp.bsky.social and @nswpolice.bsky.social for their excellent amplification of the message they were trying to spread. #StreisandEffect #GazaProtest

Why counter-gerrymandering is both necessary and justified: this authoritarian move by Trump and his loyal, compliant red state followers in places like Texas has to be met without hesitation: The very survival of our republic is at stake in this moment. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/02/u...
