Trump’s ‘new normal’ leaves Australia marooned. We can no longer pretend otherwise | Zoe Daniel

The forensic psychiatrist working with Victoria’s young offenders: ‘when you know their origins, you wonder how they’ve survived at all’

How many people are these cos-playing Nazis posing as law enforcement going to murder before our eyes? It’s government-sanctioned execution, no less. As an Australian, I don’t want my country having anything to do with these thugs. It’s embarrassing that we still suck up to them.

Trump’s proposed “Board of Peace” isn’t peace-building – it’s a power grab that sidelines the vulnerable and rewards coercion. Australia should reject it rather than legitimise it, writes Stuart Rees. #auspol #geopolitics #humanrights

you would never know from this condescension salad today that it was fellow smh columnist George Brandis as AG who introduced proposed Turnbull government amendments to s18C of the RDA in 2017 while Coalition politicians at large pretended anti-racists killed racist cartoonist Bill Leak.

As @albomp.bsky.social increases our defence dependence on the US, the US is adjusting its priorities away from supporting allies. I urge we adopt Canadian PM Carney's response. #AUKUS #auspol

An astute social democratic leader would seize this once in a lifetime opportunity to prosecute a visionary transformation agenda, complete with structural reforms, that shakes off shackles of neoliberalism & aligns us more along the lines of Scandinavian nations @albomp.bsky.social isn’t capable

And I just received a note that if I share this link anything you donate will be tripled by some generous folks. So if you have a spare couple of dollars please help #SaveOurDemocracy Thank you 🙏

did you know jared kushner said in davos that the plan is to build data centers where palestinians lived

A producer in the London bureau is the *only* CBS person quoted in their story about Israel killing its longtime freelance cameramen in Gaza—someone who once filed dispatches for them from an ambulance, while wounded. Not quoted: The network’s editor in chief. www.cbsnews.com/news/journal...

I wasn’t much of a Tesla fan before, but our new house came with two Tesla products pre-installed. Both of these are kinda fucked due to intentional decisions made by Tesla to screw over customers. The EV charger will only charge Tesla EVs and the Powerwall essentially cannot ever be upgraded.

Local, independent, non-profit journalists. Human rights activists & lawyers (like myself) to document & bear witness. Corporate media is dead. They have failed. But local media funded by We the People is growing. Join our efforts for truth & justice. Let's go. www.qasimrashid.com/subscribe 3/3

Marles is now a clear and present danger to Australia's national security. If only we had a PM with a spine to rein him in. #AUKUS #auspol

Dangerous fire weekend and Telstra has had a total outage since Friday morning for our district. Ok for us as we've got wifi, could be deadly for visitors or those without home internet. Damn near negligent.

"The US is currently holding more than twice as many people as there were detainees in the Nazi concentration camp system in 1939, 6 years into the Third Reich."

I feel so betrayed by the Albanese Labor Govt. The hate bill. The Nacc. Climate Aukus Asylum seekers Poverty Housing Palantir Social media ban Electoral reforms We’ve been betrayed 😞😞 #auspol

It is unbelievable that Australian taxpayers are paying to send two former Defence Ministers, now weapons industry lobbyists, to the UAE and Saudi Arabia to spruik their clients and arms sales into the region. Unbelievable except it’s business as usual for Labor and the Coalition

Turkiye’s FM Fidan says Israel ‘looking for opportunity’ to attack Iran https://aje.news/z3gds4

There’s only one way to leave an abusive relationship: utterly and finally. That doesn’t make it easy—on the contrary, it’s among the hardest things anyone can ever do. It’s just as hard for a nation or group of nations. It’s time for Europe to abandon America. Cut us off until we save ourselves.

they went to an emergency room seeking help for their 7 year old child. ICE arrested the 7 year old and her parents. the family is here legally. www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...

The so-called "party of free speech" sure does hate free speech.

Regardless of all of this Windows itself "is" malware in my opinion, it's the plague, and you should avoid it at all costs if you even remotely care about security and privacy. Get rid of that shit, and switch to Linux. Windows gets worse every day.

Palantir’s approach to privacy & transparency is terrible. The company specialises in creating detailed profiles of people by combining large databases about us. The weasels gov must take steps to prioritise our human rights, privacy, over Palantir’s dystopian surveillance profiteering. #Auspol

This is also how Murdoch conned the gullible Poms into Brexit which devastated the country and brought it to its knees. "For the fitst time, there were more UK newspaper editorials opposing climate action than supporting it in 2025"

seriously if you’re a regular TikTok user you should probably reconsider that. the new US-based ownership will not be shy about using this shit against you.

Jack Smith: “My belief is that if we do not hold the most powerful people in our society to the same standards of the rule of law, it can be catastrophic.”

Who's the real true blue Aussie? Those 'Put Australia First' and 'March for Australia' types like Bec Freedom, Monica Smit & Thomas Sewell (NSN) parading around cities and towns with their Chinese-made Aussie flags, commonly known as 'cookers'.🧵

Cultural “cohesion” becomes censorship, and a festival falls apart

It’s shameful that this ongoing stain on our national character continues to go underreported and under-resourced by governments of both persuasions and an apathetic media. Nearly 200 women killed by violent men in the past 2 years. Isn’t that worthy of a Royal Commission?

"The OECD says Australia has one of the most segregated schooling systems in the developed world,” writes Jane Caro. “Moreover, that concentration is growing at the second-fastest rate in the developed world." satpa.pe/cY6vg8u

"We now have schools that are no longer fit for purpose, where you can hear the classrooms on either side all day long, with doors that don’t shut, windows that don’t open, ancient toilets and strings of demountables." satpa.pe/jeRibhW

Hey @albomp.bsky.social - here's a great opportunity to kill two birds with one stone! Stand up strongly for an independent Australia, support the Canadian PM, and you won't even have to respond to that pesky 'Board of Peace' invitation. #auspol

This healthy little fella at Munghorn Gap Nature Reserve near Mudgee, NSW, knows of 23 threatened wildlife species that need our help! 480 acres of their habitat, 100 metres from the Gap, will be destroyed if a coal mine extension goes ahead.

He's far from perfect but Carney is able to speak to the gravity of the moment with an earnestness, clarity, and dignity few others can muster. He's a serious person. Cometh the hour, I suppose.

Worth revisiting: Shouldn’t the crossbench be the Opposition?

Australia is the only colonised nation in the world that celebrates its national day on the anniversary of its own invasion. #auspol womensagenda.com.au/latest/why-j...

Feral cats and foxes really have driven many Australian mammals to extinction. Claims these introduced predators aren't responsible don't stack up. Protecting our unique species will be even harder if feral cats and foxes are given a free pass to keep killing. 🌐🌎 theconversation.com/yes-feral-ca...

“Danish citizens are organising a huge boycott that includes cancelling planned holidays in the US, cancelling subscriptions to on-demand services based in the US & more generally, recommending the use of EU services instead of those provided by American platforms.” So, same as Canadians.

The Australian Centre for International Justice has formally requested a police investigation into Israel's president for alleged incitement to genocide. He is expected to visit to Australia next month.
