Several parts of Australia are likely to face the worst heatwaves since the 2019/2020 bushfires. Volunteers and underpaid frontline workers will step up to help communities. Meanwhile, in just one year, the Australian government gave $14.9 billion in subsidies to fossil fuel producers and users.

In Israel, your ID decides your life: Jews get rights, subsidies, and protection; Palestinians get racism, home demolitions, and exclusion. “It’s not complicated. It’s painfully simple.”

✨One to lift the spirits - the magnificent nave at Wells Cathedral taken with my tilt-shift lens 📸. Hard to believe that the 'owl like' scissor arches at the end were built in the mid C14th.

Palestinians are the most surveilled people on Earth. Israel knew how many Gazans there were in 2023 and it knows how many are alive now. Whatever the current death toll in Gaza may be, and whatever it is by the time this hellshow ends, it cannot be hidden forever. Sanction Israel Now #Auspol

I would not be shocked if Kate Hudson snuck into Best Actress for Song Sung Blue.

Plain and simple my politics is that nobody should be wealthy enough to make their insecurities my problem.

Add me!

It's a capital start to the year for children in the Australian Capital Territory. 🧒 The policy to prohibit fossil fuel advertising and sponsorships is now officially in effect A big thanks to all those who helped get climate misinformation out of our classrooms. commsdeclare.org/2026/01/02/a...

A must-read message from Colin and Sophie Hortman, Mark and Melissa's children:

Trump Says US Will Occupy Venezuela for As Long as It Takes To Distract From Epstein Files

After a breakdown, Van Gogh admitted himself to Saint-Paul-de-Mausole in May 1889. Painting in the asylum’s walled garden, he found calm in the cypresses—vertical prayers rising toward the sky.

"We urge all parties to support dialogue and diplomacy"? What kind of nonsense statement is this? The US just bombed them with no cause, kidnapped their president and his wife, and declared that they would be running the country in order to secure its oil for themselves.

Recovering the lost history of Gaza, by William Dalrymple. Decades of conflict and displacement have obliterated the history of one of the world’s oldest human settlements.

10. Tell your elected leaders that you insist on real action on homelessness, starting with actual homes and supportive services…Remember that this is about human values, not property values. Remind them that providing homes for the homeless actually saves us all public money. #HousingFirst

“19: Plant a tree in your front yard, and fight for street trees on your street, in your neighborhood, and across your city. There are literally dozens of ways they make life better on streets and in cities. It’s one of the best investments a city can make.” — @brenttoderian.bsky.social

For gazillionth time, the standard you walk past is the standard you accept

Now would be the time for Albanese and Labor to show some bloody guts and implement these changes. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

If I hear Albanese, Wong or Marles say one more time that Australia has "shared values" with the fascist warmongers and genocide enablers in Washington, I won't be responsible for my actions. #auspol

We can hold compassion for the range of emotions Venezuelans may be experiencing — including positive emotions — and also be clear that regime change by a fascist superpower is dangerous, destabilizing, and sets precedents that will not stop at Venezuela. Those aren’t contradictory positions.

#GVerse Massive march in NYC against #Shit4Brain's war on Venezuela

I've worked in & around news media for very close to my entire adult life. I've spoken up, protested for & voted in support of our ABC. It gives me zero joy to say that legacy media in Australia is over. Time to move on. Start here #auspol > truenorthnews.substack.com

Emergency feel-good content incoming! Mum and bub. Wild budgies at Mount Bryan East a few years ago.

“If you didn’t want your photo digitally altered and turned into sexual content you shouldn’t have posted it online” is just the social media version of “if you didn’t want to be raped you shouldn’t have worn a short skirt.” If you’re participating in this “trend” you’re a predator.

New Year, new challenge… help us keep Maha and family housed, fed and clothed for another month! 💕💸🍉

MSF (Doctors Without Borders) was born in part of the realization by the Red Cross that they'd failed to speak out against the Holocaust of Jewish people in the Nazi camps. Founding MSF in 1971, former RC medics vowed to bear witness as well as rendering aid. Israel is blocking MSF from Gaza now...

guys, "the judges at the ICC are being sanctioned by the USA and can't access their iphones or bank accounts" and "why aren't any countries banning twitter or prosecuting elon musk for owning a site that manufactures CSAM" stories are the same story

It appears extra Special Envoy Jillian Segal's handpicked expert to conduct antisemitic report cards at universities - Greg Craven - is getting paid $232,466

In 2026, cancel just one streaming service from a greedy corp and support indi journos instead. You'll feel better than James Brown. #CorporateMediaSucks

"I look for the day when there will be an investigation on the role of Western corporate media in this genocide. Because this is not a genocide that has been just overlooked. This is a genocide that has been justified and enabled by the media." — Francesca Albanese #GazaGenocide #media #journalism

A crucial point. Elon Musk and several other tech executives are right now producing and distributing child pornography, and that is how the media should be covering this.

In 2007/08 we were better prepared for a pandemic than when one hit in 2020. Whereas the Howard and Rudd governments had solid preparedness plans, the Morrison government had a different approach: hand out pamphlets. theaimn.net/in-2007-08-w...

The bad news is that it appears CBS News has fallen. The good news is that independent media has been ready for this moment. Join us: meidasplus.com

John Steinbeck had such an understanding of humans and how they operate. This is a wonderful piece that is at least as true today as when he wrote it in a letter in the late 1950s. #Steinbeck #JohnSteinbeck #Booksky

🔴 A mother & her young son were burned to death, & 2 others were wounded, after a tent caught fire at the Al-Yarmouk displacement camp in Gaza City as a winter storm hit the besieged territory, according to journalist Motasem Dalloul (X: @AbujomaaGaza). Palestinians have repeatedly pleaded for...
