Happy #SocialistSunday comrades ✊🏻
Four-panel political cartoon. An older white man in a suit warns two workers, one Black, one white, "Careful. That foreigner wants your cookie." While he distracts them, the workers wrestle the plate of cookies away from him and ultimately share them peacefully together.

I know that language isn't really something that you can boil down to basic intuition (nor law, nor insurance, etc.), but on an everyday understanding of the word, it is mind-boggling that spray painting a plane is legally deemed a source of "terror", while burning down houses isn't.

I don’t know how British people stand the feral media. Lord Rothermere ought to be beheaded at the Tower for the decades of pain caused by the Daily Mail and the Rupert Murdoch company, NewsUK, burned to the ground with him in it.

Will the Australian news media now report the abuse being experienced by Muslim Australians after the media's fear-mongering rhetoric? Or the abuse experienced by Palestinian Australians simply for wearing a keffiyeh? Or Lebanese Australians? Will the PM speak out against THIS #racism? #auspol

"political violence is never acceptable," is a phrase you don't hear politicians say after cops beat the shit out of peaceful demonstrators

It’s never industry’s fault that productivity is low. It’s always that of the worker. The ones with the money and power to be able to affect change never assume responsibility for anything other than the reaping of profits.

New Australia Institute research shows there’s little evidence of a productivity crisis. “Australia’s so-called ‘productivity crisis’ is massively exaggerated. Low productivity is not to blame for the problems facing households today, like low wage growth.” @grogsgamut.bsky.social #auspol

No baby formula has entered Gaza for four months because of Israel’s genocidal blockades. There is nothing left to feed babies and their mothers can not produce milk as they themselves are starving. There is no defending what Israel is doing. No justification.

I saw a girl the same age as my daughter realise her legs were gone because Israel blew them off. Don't try and tell me she is somehow responsible. Israel is committing genocide

“Like cigarettes, enormous vehicles can kill those who never used the product…40 years ago, the outrage of secondhand smoke was an eye-opener for many Americans. A similar narrative could help people recognize the havoc that 4-wheeled behemoths now wreak on our streets.”— @davidzipper.bsky.social

Gigantic SUVs are a public health threat. Why don’t we treat them like one?
The anti-tobacco playbook could help turn the US public against their beloved oversized cars.

Writer Richard Flanagan’s excoriating demolition of Albo & the whole surrender of Govt to most venal of exploitative private interests. When what we so need is Govt to act forcefully for public good, to address the grave crises of our time. Not to cop out, or let corrupt or gormless ruin democracy

Jesus, why is so called anti semitism worse than islamaphobia and destruction of islamic buildings and businesses? Why is anti-Israel equated with anti semitism? If Israel stopped killing and starving tens of thousands of Palestinians, there would not be an issue. Graffiti on a fence is not terror.

31 December 1995. Still the perfect goodbye.
The final Calvin and Hobbes cartoon. The entire page is mostly white as they're in the winter snow. The pair is walking with a sledge, nicely duffled in in scarves, hats, gloves. Calvin delightedly exclaims 'wow, it really snowed las night! Isn't it wonderful?'. Hobbes follows up with 'Everything familiar has disappeared! The world looks brand-new!' -- A new year... a fresh, clean start!' adds Calvin. As they look over the landscape, Hobbes observes 'it's like having a big white sheet of paper to draw on!' -- 'A day full of possibilities!' Calvin affirms. They get ready on their sledge and Calvin tells his friend 'it's a magical world, Hobbes, ol' buddy... let's go exploring!', and the pair sledges off into the wintery landscape.

The ongoing misrepresention of @climate200.bsky.social's @simonahac.bsky.social by both Labor and the Libs, rpted by a complicit mainstream news media, verges on defamation. I never hear the same criticism of billionaire Gina Rinehart for her overt influence on Coalition policy. 😠 #auspol #QandA

Another refugee from the disaster that Twitter turned into. I tried Threads for a while but I'm glad this looks like it might fill the space left by old Twitter. I'm seeing lots of familiar accounts, I just hope we get a choice to format dates in a non-USA way sooner or later
