Pro-Israel hate groups and the Daily Telegraph teaming up to confect outrage in what looks like a clear attempt to promote Islamophobia and anti-Palestinian racism. Disgraceful.

Hard to imagine a problem Chris Minns wouldn’t try to solve by curtailing the right to protest.

Very funny the companies arguing for relaxed copyright law to steal everyone else's work may suddenly be running to it.

if those most affected by a crisis are celebrating some victory, join their joy, or witness it. a journey is made of steps, a change is made by moments, a worldview transformation must feel compelling, feel possible. a breath for joy, a second to touch the grief, don’t take it - join, or witness.

However you cut it, that we have failed to stop another Holocaust because a small bunch of people want to control the world’s resources means our society is fundamentally evil, which means nothing will ever be safe.

We must change this, or we have nothing — we *are* nothing.

I’d like to thank all the hardworking vegans and vegetarians for keeping sanitarium nutmeat on the shelves even after all these years. Probably been a decade since I’ve had it but I reckon I’m back on. Stuff is funky but it’s 110g of protein in one can!

Some of the best news about the next fed election. Omar to win!
Yes I am running for the federal seat of Blaxland, yes Zionist nonsense and hack “journalism” selectively and deceptively misquoting me has begun, yes you can volunteer and donate to my campaign: 🔗 in bio x

Concern trolling around offshore wind and whales is as bad faith and unsupported by evidence as that around wind turbines and birds.

If they were really worried about birds, they would be lobbying to keep cats indoors and add collision deterrents to building glass.

I’m finding it hard to believe that the next federal election might be a referendum on a potential energy source 20 years in the future during the worst inequality crisis in a generation. Australian voters have almost always only voted for immediate self interest - how could nuclear take priority?

A severe storm hit Lismore knocking out power to >10,000 households with the majority not having power returned tonight.

It’s 10pm and 27°C with 73% humidity. It’s very likely some will die tonight.

A climate-heated world will mean this happens more often and worse.

Feels somber alright.

A masterclass in framing from Zack Schofield and @risingtideaus.bsky.social
This is an absolutely incredible example of how, if you ever decide to engage with a right-wing media outlet, *how* you do it almost perfectly. Bravo @risingtideaus.bsky.social!

Héritier Lumumba, a staunch advocate against horrific racism in AFL, went on to become a staunch advocate for decolonisation and peace and justice around the world. Adam Goodes, a staunch advocate against horrific racism in AFL, went on to become… an arms dealer?

By what standard of morality can the violence of a slave to break their chains be considered the same as the violence of a slave master?
