Israel is using existing ceasefire agreements to establish new realities on the ground, projecting itself as the regional hegemon by launching attacks on Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, and the West Bank.

Labor stands for subservience to the US and the almighty profit motive. Just like the LNP. LNP is far right, Labor is right-leaning centrist AT BEST.
Sean Kelly’s The Good Fight asks an important question: does Labor still know what it believes – and is it willing to act on those beliefs under Albanese? #AusPol #Labor #Albanese #Inequality #Politics
What does Labor actually stand for in the Albanese era?
Sean Kelly’s Quarterly Essay The Good Fight asks a harder question than whether Labor is governing competently – it asks whether it still knows what it believes, and whether belief is translating into action.

I think Australia’s problem is that we’ve never beheaded a monarch. We don’t have a monarch on hand, but we have to grow up and overthrow some leaders so they stop treating us like garbage that they can just continually dump shit on while squeezing us for every cent.

Treating adults like garbage doesn’t work either. Turns out if you take people already struggling to behave in a pro social manner, throw them in a cage, treat them like dirt, strip them of what coping and decision-making skills they have by taking every choice away, they don’t come out ‘cured’ 🤷♀️
Treating children as adults in the justice system breaches international law and ignores decades of evidence on rehabilitation. Punishment entrenches harm, writes Annette Alexander-Fliegner. #YouthJustice #ChildRights #HumanRights #AusPol #VicPol #CriminalJustice #Rehabilitation
Trying teenagers as adults won’t fix youth crime
Victoria’s proposal to send 14–17 year olds into adult courts ignores international law, expert evidence and decades of failed policy. Rehabilitation, not punishment, is what reduces future harm.

They’re piping advertising into our eyeballs 24/7 and they’ve stripped the whole world of spaces we can enter without paying. What the fuck is this bullshit reality we’ve made 😑 I have fully run out of patience for movies that try to convince me humans are basically good. All we do is destroy.

After Gaza, the next target is Iran
US–Israel manoeuvring over Gaza is already widening the conflict. As Sudan burns and propaganda intensifies, Iran may be the next target — with Australia again at risk of being drawn in.

Private schools routinely blame inflation for rising fees – but indexation shields them from most cost increases while widening the resource gap. The inflation myth keeps private school privilege intact.

The inflation myth propping up private school privilege
Private schools regularly blame inflation for rising fees, yet funding arrangements mean they are largely compensated for cost increases. Their fee-setting power widens the resource gap while feeding back into inflation itself.

Gaza’s economy has collapsed beyond recognition
Gaza’s economy, society and basic infrastructure have been almost entirely wiped out. With 90 per cent of people displaced, food systems destroyed and schools and hospitals in ruins, reconstruction is becoming harder by the day.

Few things piss me off more that amateur true crime hosts calling offenders ‘monsters’. Pretending aberrant behaviour doesn’t exist on the human spectrum is absolute nonsense. They’re just people. If you reclassify them as inhuman you’re going to be incapable of identifying them in your own life.
