Can the BBC please circulate this memo asap, word for word:
When populists talk about preserving culture, they mean race. They are talking about preserving white skin and "whiteness" as they define it. Stop being dumb.

The US attack on Venezuela—using CIA + JSOC / Delta-style forces to kidnap its president and first lady—isn’t strength. It’s a decapitation fantasy from a declining empire: covert ops, legal fog, oil logic. When hegemony fades, force replaces consent. #ImperialDecline #Venezuela

Australia condemns the ‘inhumane killing’ of Palestinians is the equivalent of ‘thoughts and prayers’, it implies that there is a humane way of killing Palestinian people. The so-called impartiality of the media is a “strategic ritual of objectivity” (Gay Tuchman).

Is Australian mainstream media finally ready to use the g word?
The word 'genocide' has been given a wide berth in legacy media coverage of Gaza. Is that starting to change?

The people are in the streets getting brutalized by a fascist regime and the networks are having ex cops and military give “analysis” and focusing “extremists.” No protest voices.
See this thing for what it is.

Are we having an election night thread?
Obviously there'll be lots of them, but I'm happy to host one too like we did on twitter last time
Should we use the #BinNight hashie? People have said in a previous post (when I asked) they think it works well as a bat signal

It's #Budget day! Brace yourselves for scary headlines about debt and deficits.
FACT: Australia is a low-debt country. We have a lower government debt than most advanced economies in the world.
