The Adelaide Writers’ Week has been cancelled for 2026. The remaining board members have quit and their official statement includes a non-apology apology to Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah.

Dr. Randa Abdel-Fattah’s response to the latest statement by the Adelaide Festival board. 1/2

you know what's beautiful, and it can be easy to forget, but the people. the people are beautiful.

Video of federal agents getting run out of Lyn Lake this afternoon. Agents drop a gas can at the end and someone kicks it back at them.

just because i have a silver linings fetish I'm gonna take this opportunity to point out that a force consisting of nearly every ice agent in the country is currently struggling to subdue one(1) city that is resisting unarmed and in an exclusively defensive posture without the help of the government

The Premier of South Australia is primarily to blame for destroying the #AdelaideWritersWeek festival.

Few words. My @smh @theage cartoon

Minnesota, Minneapolis, & Saint Paul filed a lawsuit to stop ICE's occupation Minnesota AG Keith Ellison: "We allege that the obvious targeting of Minnesota for our diversity, for our democracy & our differences of opinion with the federal govt, is a violation of the Constitution & federal law”

i think what we need now more than ever is slow, incremental change

The guy who shot Renee Good in the face is a trainer and instructor for ICE

It's tragic that the wonderful Louise Adler resigned from her position at the Adelaide Writers' Week, but she is not going quietly. This exceptional piece is a must read: "AWW is the canary in the coalmine. Friends and colleagues in the arts, beware of the future. They are coming for you."

PS: Obama quadrupled Dubya's ICE budgets

We've taken the most acute cases of toxic masculinity, given them guns, and turned them loose on our streets. This is only going to get worse. #FuckIce

For lawyers in Minnesota who want to resist the ICE occupation: forms.gle/YK9mVYTft1Lt... So many folks in our legal community are ready and eager to get involved. But right now, a lot of work is being done in a decentralized way, by groups without bandwidth to organize. Let's coordinate efforts.

I'm not one for violence but if this American administration ends with anything less than a firing squad, I'll be disappointed.

ICE’s murder of Renee Good has been a clarifying moment — and not only for Americans. It also exposed some Canadians. Notably, the Toronto Sun’s Ottawa bureau chief — who called the ICE bullets fired at Good “well-deserved.” Let’s talk Canadian media the impact of who has a platform:

Committing atrocities destroys the human soul. Most people can't live without a soul. IOF soldier Yehoshua Bon, who served over 700 days in the reserve and was a sniper in Gaza, Lebanon & Syria, has unalived himself.

100/124 writers due at Adelaide Writers Festival have pulled out, as has sponsor, the Australia Institute. I'm loving this display of solidarity, and rejection of racism and Islamophobia.

The Adelaide Writers Festival now wrecked by the Adelaide Festival Board, half of which was appointed late last year: a marketing executive; a former politician; a local councillor/real estate agent; an airport manager; a lawyer; a media consultant; and a banker. Another public arts takeover fiasco.

It’s going to be an interesting few weeks when the royal commission examines, as I suspect it will, the defraying of social cohesion caused by the organised censorship of writers, artists and employees across the country for daring to speak against an unfolding genocide

[getting my head kicked in by a pedophile storm trooper] “We’re gonna need to get creative to legislate our way out of this”

One of the most tragic stories of the genocide in Gaza, yet one that did not receive sufficient attention, is the tragedy of the 15 premature babies who were abandoned to die alone by IOF soldiers. If there is a story that deserves to be turned into a global human drama, this is it.

Argentina…

Zionism is to Judaism as the KKK is to Christianity.

Lying is foundational for Israel. They don’t know how to tell the truth about anything.

I too, miss the days back when the police were polite. At traffic stops they would say gentle things like “ma’am, your empty hand is a deadly weapon” before killing you.

‘Just do what I say and nobody gets hurt’ - ICE agents…..and bank robbers….and terrorists…..and kidnappers All one in the same.

A video of ICE agents conducting door-to-door searches today in Minneapolis The homeowner requests a warrant repeatedly, is told they don't require one, then is told they're getting it, then the agents storm in anyway They also point a taser at her to try and disrupt filming

Indigenous nations have demonstrated leadership in renewable energy initiatives, conservation strategies, and community-driven economic development. A sustainable future will require building these partnerships—not sidelining them in the rush to double down on mining and fossil fuel infrastructure.

KO'ing everyone's 401k the week they started bragging about murdering citizens in the street on camera is the behavior of people who are on actual drugs. Not metaphorically, it's the behavior of people with underlying mental illness on uppers and steroids who are starting to feel cornered.

Most importantly: does anyone know which (if any) legal orgs are coordinating jail support or responses to attempted searches by private attys? I know lots of individuals doing this work, but we're going to need organized response if things escalate. I've asked in my networks, no one knows

Australia: Voted no for an indigenous voice to parliament (which we need) but has a Zionist voice to parliament that we didn’t vote for (and don’t need).

If many of you did not know: Patagonia (currently on fire) spanning Chile and Argentina, has seen several reported cases over the years where Israeli backpackers—often young travelers post-military service—have been accused of starting or contributing to forest fires in protected national parks.

👇”Israel has repeatedly denied is committing genocide in Gaza and rejected the report's findings.”👇 Genocide denial

Canada’s response to the US military operation in Venezuela harms not only international law and global stability, but Canada’s own interests. If Canada wants international law to protect its sovereignty, it must defend that law everywhere—or risk losing it altogether.

Unbelievable. I told the Sky News guy to fuck off with his questions and now *that* is the story. This hungry beast is insatiable. How’s that Royal Commission into Murdoch media going?

BREAKING: The people who did this to Gaza are deeply concerned that Iran might have broken international humanitarian law

right now, in spite of everything going on, the Democratic Party is still (among other things): pro ICE, pro Israel, pro regime change, pro war, pro billionaire, and anti M4A

People resisting fascism in the US can learn a thing or two from Somali Americans. "Get out of here!" Masked ICE thugs in Minneapolis tried to grab a Somali man. They didn't expect anyone to come to his rescue.

Another Palestinian baby boy dies in Gaza as a result of prolonged exposure to extreme low temperatures: he was just two months old.

When this blows over I might have to share some of the emails I’ve received over the days which really make me wonder why I am the one accused of hatred. There is deep unresolved trauma being spewed by some of these people and we cannot consent to living according to their warped reality.

The issue with ICE is not training, the issue with ICE is that it fundamentally should not exist. The violence is the purpose

NEW: The Palantirisation of the UK military is a national security disaster. Peter Thiel is now the third wheel in the US-UK ‘special relationship’. 1/ open.substack.com/pub/broligar...

Are we really pretending the US and Israel give a damn about Iranians after they levelled Gaza? www.councilestatemedia.uk/p/are-we-rea...

Every single US president of my lifetime has been responsible for far more death, destruction, misery, and poverty than the Ayatollah of Iran. If you're gonna talk about "regime change" in the name of "human rights", start with the corrupt oligarchy in the US.

Cathy Wilcox perfectly depicts with this political cartoon, the ‘astro turf’ campaign in Australia run by an organised lobby marching to the drumbeat of a genocidal foreign regime.
