The ceasefire is a lie. The ethnic cleansing of Palestine continues under the guise of peace plans. Do not look away.

Saying "Death to the IDF" is not antisemitism. We're criticizing the inhumane actions of a military regime, not discriminating against a religious group.

Get it right.

Australia suffers from selective empathy. And nowhere is that clearer than in the way our political and media class decide who can mourn.

Not cool. But becoming “normal”. Deadly heatwaves kill more people than other climate related catastrophes.

These are the deadly signs of an overheating world fuelled by fossil fuels.
Take care. Keep cool. Stay hydrated.

Democrats shouldn't try to close ICE detention facilities but instead focus on fostering a culture of abundance within those ICE detention facilities

From bad to worse!

When the talent pool is but a shallow muddy quagmire, there's not alot of choice but certainly alot of panic

And panic is never a good decision-maker

Choices between a Christo fascist ex-soldier and an alleged water thief to depose an uncharismatic village idiot. I think we are in the termite-infested boards of the barrel.

The revolving door between government and industry, Defence Departments and weapons manufacturers, is a key reason why governments around the world spend countless billions on weapons and are out looking for war and conflict. These people profit from it.

What would happen if we lost our utilities. We would "communitise." Your street, community, whatever natural scale is required would pull together to look after each other. We do it naturally. The thug - he'd leave for other thugs cause he wouldn't fit it. We'd look after each other as community.

“The anarchy that is emerging under Trump is more chaotic. It is closer to the more primitive anarchy of the political philosopher Thomas Hobbes—a world of “all against all,” where sovereign power cannot be challenged domestically or internationally. In this Hobbesian order……anything goes.” #auspol
