This is why we should never let up on pushing the ALP. UK labour is an absolute warning for how bad a notionally “progressive” party can be when it is captured by centrist (conservative) voices.

Relieved Dutton’s out? Handy reminder: Albanese’s Labor government is, at best, complacent, at worst, complicit in Israel’s genocide. Gaza is being bombed, starved, ethnically cleansed. Voting out morally bankrupt leaders isn’t enough—we must still hold power to account for the most vulnerable.

Look, I'm so happy that Dutton is gone and it's a Labor win rather than the LNP. But, to see Labor win such a majority and people turn their backs on the Greens and others pushing for *genuine* progress for social and environmental justice makes me very sad. Labor are neoliberal light. #AusVotes25

You know, I’m the Jewish descendent of grandparents who fled the Holocaust.

I think about how the intergenerational trauma still reverberates in our family. The damage.

And then I ask myself: For how many generations will the genocide in Palestine reverberate in THOSE families?

I don’t think people are paying enough attention to the fact that the North Carolina court of appeals just ruled that 65,000 votes don’t count, and that the Republican Supreme Court candidate who lost actually won.

This will be appealed, but make no mistake: they’re trying to steal this election.
