Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

Sensible Americans will be at home going over family emergency plans, ensuring kids know the details, tallying ammo, cleaning weapons, checking body armour and ensuring the pantry and emergency supplies are in good order. Trump intends a military takeover. The current conservative are psychopaths.

Dear America. FUCKING STOP! Trump starts throwing bones about Biden as soon as the criticism of Trump or his cronies starts & suddenly you’re all off defending Biden with righteous outrage. Just as they want! Concentrate on Trump, keep slamming him, his policies, his damage, his mental health. FFS

Israel’s finance minister touts genocide: "The approach is entirely different from anything in the past… now we conquer, cleanse, and stay… what remains of the Strip is also being wiped out…. The population will reach the south of the Strip – and from there move to third countries.”

I find this very concerning… youtube.com/shorts/s8vmr...

"You are not refugees. You are just a case study of white flight dressed up as martyrdom. You are not escaping violence, you're escaping equality."

"The Albanese government must immediately sanction Israel and comply with our obligations under the Genocide Convention and international law. This includes cutting all economic, military and diplomatic ties with Israel." #StopIsrael #SanctionsNow #auspol www.jewishcouncil.com.au/2025/05/re-e...

The Jewish Council calls on the re-elected Albanese government to immediately sanction Israel and comply with our obligations under the Genocide Convention and international law. This includes cutting all economic, military and diplomatic ties with Israel. Media release here: tinyurl.com/5ydypam7

‘The US and European countries that tout Israel as an ally that shares their values have issued barely a word of condemnation. They should be ashamed of their silence, and stop enabling Netanyahu to act with impunity.’ www.ft.com/content/f5fd...

I wouldn’t want to overshadow the collected works of other good folks doing vital work - particularly @jeremywalker.bsky.social - but this is a neat, short intro to the Atlas Network and the damage they are doing to Australian democracy. Well recommended.👇

The welcome to country was booed at the Melbourne dawn service. This group of bad actors, "Advance", has been aggressively sowing hate and division behind-the-scenes against the Indigenous ceremony. Advance is quietly funded by the Liberal Party. (ICYMI:) theklaxon.com.au/liberal-part...

Francesca Albanese— "The sadism and fury Israel has unleashed on the Palestinian people is APPALLING. Those denying the genocide, should follow @DCIPalestine: not a day passes without Israelis killing, maiming, torturing Palestinian children, including in the West Bank. "The end game is ERASURE."

This is terrifying. Australians must act to stop this replication of America’s Christian extremist takeover. The Coalition has gifted us the opportunity to bring it out of the shadows. NEVER vote LNP or Family First. #auspol johnmenadue.com/post/2025/04...

So Trump is hitting my country with about 20% tariff. Ok we could retaliate but my Q is why bother? He has dismantled all the agencies that ensure the safety of US goods (FDA & HHS for example) so why would we be any product from the US now? It’s just likely to kill or maim us. Buy NO US products!

Brilliant.

The US is becoming so unstable we should dump AUKUS. If research says we really need nuke subs then let’s look to partner with the UK. Frankly the old Commonwealth with some additions is looking like a better, more stable alliance than the US (and strong alliance with Asia and India).

Honestly it must be nearing time where the 1% become the 0%. The rest of us, our children, grandchildren and great grandchildren can’t really afford to keep them.

Gina wants Australia to be more like Argentina, so Peter Dutton struts as a Caudillo. It’s not an enticing prospect. Albanese’s timidity is a problem, but Dutton’s authoritarian populism is no solution. #auspol
