My regular friendly reminder that no matter how awful the US and Israel please remember that China is also not the good guy. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

People need to know about this. Most of the killings are First Peoples fighting to protect their lands and livelihoods from mining logging and agribusiness open.substack.com/pub/heated/p...

The poverty machine speaks in slogans. It tells us to “have a go,” that “nobody wants to work,” that being poor is a choice. This is gaslighting on a national scale. Let’s unpack some of that.

They are so afraid of this they won’t seat a newly elected Congresswoman from AZ to keep it from happening.

And Australia is still sucking up to Trump, all the way with Aukus, BAU with Pine Gap, troop deployments on rotation through Darwin… @albomp.bsky.social you have to understand-Trump’s US is not our friend. The sooner we break ties (and flip the bird at any resultant tariffs, whatever), the better.

Recently @amyremeikis.bsky.social reminded my of Umberto Eco's 14 points of "eternal fascism" in which "it is enough that one of them be present to allow fascism to coagulate around it". And well , there is a sh*it load of coagulation happening.

Lots of love and strength and resilience to all my friends in Portland

"Politics can’t defeat the realities of physics and chemistry, but that is exactly what the Albanese government is attempting to do with their grossly inadequate emissions reductions targets..." - Professor Euan Ritchie theenergy.co/article/2035...

Exactly. An excellent article by Kathy Eager about the inherent problems of the new privatised and transactional‘ support at home’ program and its short-sighted increase in co-payments. johnmenadue.com/post/2025/09...

Would love your thoughts! And a share or two ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 www.theequalityproject.org.au/podcast/bett...

It was great to attend 'Draw the LIne' event at Altona on the weekend. Australia's 2035 target just announced of 62-70% is not enough to draw the line at 1.5 degrees. Good on @youth4climate.bsky.social@350.org and the local Pasifika community for organising www.abc.net.au/pacific/prog...

Orly Noy tells it straight here. A must read.

You can read the whole sorry story about the ASA’s trip to Freemantle here. I feel a tiny bit sorry for them because what they are selling, AUKUS, is about as popular as chocolate sardines www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

The Australian Submarine Agency met locals in Freemantle last night to pump AUKUS … and it didn’t go well. The crowd broke into astounded laughter when invited to a future “Nuclear Fun Day.” Thankfully ⁦‪@‬⁩sophiemcneil.bsky.social was there to inject some common sense into it all.

I was arrested on Monday, occupying my local MPs office to help end the genocide!

“I think anyone who has looked at the actual sums involved can see that the financial arguments just don’t add up,” “It’s hard not to surmise that Meanjin was killed at least in part because it was too problematic politically & culturally for the University of Melbourne. Kaiser #auspol 1/...

I was arrested today for occupying my local MPs office, calling on the government to sanction Israel, to end all trade including stopping arming Israel and cutting all diplomatic ties. @deepcutnews.bsky.social www.instagram.com/reel/DOnUMMP...

Well here I am occupying my local MP’s office, the Labor member for Fraser, Dr Daniel Mulino. We are protesting about Australia’s complicity in the brutal genocide that Israel is inflicting on Palestine, Being part of this protest is not something I have done lightly. But I can’t stay silent.

A bloody brilliant win 🙌🏼 @elainejohnson.bsky.social

I don’t know Younes, but I know they deserve to live in safety and with dignity. Younes is one of the 2.38 million Palestinian children who have the right to a future.

I've been playing my violin with a string quartet for the 1st time over the last 2 months. It's been great fun I invite you to enjoy the fruits of our labour in the World Premiere of the 'Russell Place Quartet', along with other ensembles performing in 'Newport Strings Deconstructed'. #Melbourne

So much awful stuff happening that despair seems the only way to feel. Joanna Macy shares how despair reflects our love for the world & urges us to move from grief to mourning & draw strength & inspiration from our wild love for the world.

One could be forgiven for being confused about current definitions of anti-semitism.

'The global context ... is that Israel is a nazified racist shithole presently stretching human depravity to new depths, attempting to murder the significantly dwindling remains of 2.3 million trapped humans ... Capitalism has rotted into fascism ... ' 'There is no neutral. Pick a side.' ✌️✊✌️ 👏🙌👏

Couldn’t agree more. Human rights are meant to be universal and we should speak up and stand up for them everywhere from Tibet to Palestine to Ukraine to West Papua to Sudan . ‘Disagreeing where we must’ is a complete cop out.

I just discovered this guide to materials that clothing is made from. Really informative. goodonyou.eco/ultimate-clo...

I spent Monday with folks from the Tibetan community in Canberra, meeting MPs discussing the oppression & persecution of Tibetans in Tibet, the chinese governments plans to appoint the next Dalai Lama, & their survelliance and intimidation of Tibetans in Australia. tibet.net/tibet-lobby-...

Where is Anthony Albanese in calling the attack on the First Nations Camp Sovereignty a hate crime, a terrorist act? There could not be a more blatant attack that is motivated by racial hatred and white supremacy and yet First Nations communities are again failed by this Government.

Nazis at large in Naarm/ Melbourne today. Horrifying and sickening. Solidarity and love to all our First Peoples and their allies. www.facebook.com/share/v/175f...

I’m about to head off to a rehearsal with my string quartet- 1st time I’ve played in a string quartet! We a group from the Newport Strings playing a concert on 13 Sept. I was thinking about the privilege of playing music with others & thought of Gaza of course, & found this beautiful article.

Totally appropriate

Let’s go UN General Assembly - Australia should be calling for this!

Guess where former defence ministers are? 👀 The revolving door is a real obstacle to good governance and it should be SHUT.

I had the privilege of meeting the Dalai Lama three years ago. It was an incredible once in a lifetime event. I know most people won’t have that opportunity (specially seeing he has just turned 90) so this film seems like it is the next best thing! Tickets here woh-2025-mel.raiselysite.com
