Too many people underestimate how evil Google is and how impactful its evil is. Yeah, the company that struck down its "don't be evil" maxim a while ago, because I guess it felt too constraining.
At Google, speech critical of ICE is censored from the company's internal platform, employees who speak out are served with warnings, and leadership refuses to acknowledge a petition that's now gotten 1,200 employee signatures.

Inside the worker-led push to get ICE out of Google:
Google is stifling anti-ICE speech in the workplace as 1,200 employees call on the company to cut ties
The search giant has made it harder and riskier to protest its policies. Workers are still fighting back. Plus: A community takes down a data center, QuitGPT, and the 5 worst Super Bowl AI ads.

Sad it had to be done but thank you Waleed Aly for explaining this in detail👇

If only Chris Minns and his govt would stop and listen to people other than Zionists

And BTW is this also emblematic of a rift in NSW police where the thug element has been given too much unconstrained power?

The Australian police punched and pepper sprayed protesters in Sydney who were demonstrating against Israeli President Isaac Herzog’s visit on February 9.

The police’s use of force to prevent protests is a further erosion of basic rights in Australia.

👇 “The major event declaration not only extended police powers further, but also gave them relative immunity for their brutality. Perhaps most concerningly, the Major event declaration diminishes the right for protestors to receive compensation for violence inflicted by the State.”👇

👇”If things are to be made better rather than worse by generally worthy efforts to make Jews safer and more secure, both here and in other parts of the world, we would all do well to offer no further encouragement to ineluctably provocative notions of Israeli ‘exceptionalism.’”👇
"Inviting Israel’s president to Australia in the wake of the Bondi attack has blurred the line between antisemitism and legitimate criticism of Israel, weakening rather than strengthening social cohesion."

Precisely the Israel lobby's aim.

This is interesting. Minns forced the deputy Commissioner for Counter-Terrorism to sign an NDA concerning who faked the "caravan explosives" stunt, which Minns then used to pass the same anti-protest laws that led to the vicious assaults on civillians by NSW Police, last Sunday.

Just discovered $3 billion in extra nuclear sub spending between May and December $15.4B → $18.6B

Where's the $3 billion going? Defence: "Take it on notice"

That's enough money to build 10,000s public homes but for Defence it's pocket change they lost down back of the couch.

CONFIRMED in Estimates this morning that Defence's $3B land privatisation has ONE test which is who pays most. Public housing or veterans uses are not being considered.

Century-old public land sold off without any public benefit assessment. Privatisation at it's grubby worst.

Protest violence
Ever since the horrific acts of brutality by NSW Police against peaceful protestors on Monday night, Chris Minns has backed their actions. This is very very disturbing. Here's (some of) what I said in Parliament about it.

Milei‘s entire career has been fostered by the Argentinian branch of the #AtlasNetwork.

IPA sponsor Gina a huge fan of Milei. This is the kind of thing we should expect from Prime Minister Pauline Hanson when Rinehart, and the fossil corps get their new PHON-LNP Coal-ition government.
1/ Trump bet $40 billion of U.S. taxpayer money on Javier Milei winning Argentina's election. He said it publicly: "If he loses, we're gone." Milei won. Now comes the payoff: a labor bill stripping protections from 20 million Argentinian workers. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue
