You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.
This could be you.

I've never been more convinced Australia has the worst mainstream journalists in the world. Simple, thick, racist, ahistorical, bootlicking dipshits that lie and screech more than they think and feel. This weaponisation of a tragedy against anti-genocide voices is grotesque.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.
This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.
UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.
Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Solidarity with all those making a stand against racism and fascism today. Together we can beat back the far-right politics of hatred and division - a politics that Australian bosses would LOVE to see entrenched within the Australian working-class. ✊

American is exceptional in how we are obsessed with making our politics & media discourse about every issue no matter how big or small — except the issue of everyone being fleeced every minute of everyday by a handful of greedy plutocrats. In this, we are unique in the world.

It’s not ‘uneconomic’ to build houses in Australia. Builders & developers are doing very nicely. High income earners are spending a fortune on extensions & holiday homes
What’s ‘uneconomic’ is thinking builders will ever build small houses for the poor instead of big ones for the rich

Revealed today: NACC Commissioner Paul Brereton has attended 18 formal Defence functions as Major General since July 2023 - all while supposedly independently investigating Defence corruption. He even asked the Chief of Army for a favour to keep his rank. Conflict of interest?

My profession causes immense harm. Journalism has been abused, seized by the powerful, and used as a tool to manufacture consent for atrocity. Maybe none of this matters, but when my son asks about this period I will be able to look him in the eyes and say I wasn't a coward, I wasn't complicit.
