Call it what it is: terrorism.

And we just heard the Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister telling David Speers on #abc730 that "there is no starvation in Gaza". I am looking for a stronger phrase than "outrageous, heartless lies"...

The Prime Minister is lying to your face about selling weapons for Israel’s genocide theshot.net.au/uncategorize...

When newspapers began shutting down in big numbers a decade ago, it was hoped that moving online would broaden news diversity and ownership. Sadly, the opposite has happened, research by @australiainstitute.org.au‬ has found. bsky.app/profile/aust...

This piece from @jvl.bsky.social is one of the most important insightful I have read since January 20th 2025.

The PM job is based in Canberra - don’t like it? Don’t apply #auspol

SCOOP: The Trump admin appears to be going into a visa database to quietly change students' immigration status. It's coming entirely by surprise — setting students up to be detained without warning. It's Mahmoud Khalil & Rumeysa Ozturk — on a wider scale.

With a few final matters, the hearing is now over. Great job by the ACLU and partners in getting this lawsuit filed so quickly, and on Judge Boasberg for understanding the urgency. We'll have to watch to see whether the planes are turned around in time, as at least one is in the air now.

Why hasn't DFAT already issued a travel warning for the US? #auspol

According to the late Gore Vidal, the U.S. has one political party with two right wings that fund war spending.

I recollect regular reports of male athletes (mostly footballers) on drug/alcohol fueled nights out allegedly sexually abusing/raping women or committing other acts of #VAW (some found guilty) but it seems what Sam Kerr did is far worse/unforgivable. I mean—fuck off with your sanctimony, fellas.

Here's me. 'What would Grace Tame do?'

BREAKING: Heavy Israeli bombardment in Gaza after the announcement of a ceasefire deal has killed at least 32 people, medics reported. Yesterday world leaders were doing victory laps, as if they somehow managed to stop Netanyahu murdering more innocents. They’ll say nothing about this.

Kenneth Roth on Twitter: "It's hard to imagine, but the Israeli government is reportedly planning to intensify its war-crime starvation strategy for Palestinian civilians in Gaza once Trump takes office. Netanyahu apparently is hoping for a green light for massive ethnic cleansing." t.co/dvByMyGFNl

Disgraceful. Money for nothing.

Oof! Love it..

When people say 'run government like a business,' they mean cut services, raise prices, and pay the CEO 400 times more than the workers.

The sad and inevitable truth is in another 10 years, when it is all said and done and it is irrefutable Israel committed a genocide in Palestine, there will be many a handwringing think piece from those who defend Israel's actions now, claiming 'we didn't know'. They know. Remember that they knew.

Let’s start here aye. @jeffsparrow1.bsky.social

US Republicans - some of their best friends are rapists.

In case you missed it, a Wisconsin judge this week struck down former Gov. Scott Walker's Act 10 law. The move will restore public sector workers' collective bargaining rights. This is a moment of celebration and hope in these troubled times.

An Israeli airstrike on a car in the Gaza Strip killed five people, including employees of World Central Kitchen. The charity says it's “urgently seeking more details."

An Israeli attack on Gaza’s al-Mawasi has killed two young children and wounded their mother and sibling in the tent where they were sheltering, medical officials at Nasser Hospital said. 🔴 LIVE updates ⤵️

Funny because true.

A reminder that on 30 October 2023, six ex-PMs wrote: “Israel promises it will do all it can to avoid civilian casualties, we urge it to do so with all of its humanity and skill" Still waiting for any of them to acknowledge that Israel's "promise" was worthless. theconversation.com/six-former-p...

Shocking behaviour by the Biden administration.

The sequence of the Avian flu case in BC, that has left a teenager in critical condition, shows alarming signs of being better adapted to spreading among humans. This is alarming and means that public health authorities need to step up planning should this get out of control...

I remember when humans didn’t have vaccines yet. They died a lot.

A Colorado hiker's body was found in Oct. He went missing in August in the Rocky Mountains but his loyal Jack Russell terrier miraculously survived & stayed perched next to his deceased owner’s body; Finny survived for more than 2 months in the wilderness and didn’t leave his owner’s side.
