Tear off the masks when they show up. Take their photos. Get them on video. Expose them. Out them. Name them. They need to be made into pariahs where decent people gather. We cannot allow them to terrorize us. Eyes open. Phones on.

AOC: We need to be talking about ICE agents and the cowardly policy of covering their faces — and, in many cases, their identification… The idea that we’re going to allow a paramilitary force to bloom, one that isn’t accountable to the Constitution… we’ve got another thing coming.

Sacking or disciplining an employee for expressing a political opinion can breach anti-discrimination laws. Organisations lobbying for that sort of outcome may also be acting unlawfully.

Only one group was prepared to give context to why Fremantle captain Alex Pearce should not have reposted an Irish band’s statements about the war in Gaza. It wasn’t the AFL.

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.

Israel will never be able to scrub away the stain of the genocide it’s is committing. Generations will pass and Israel will still be known as the nation that rejoiced in the killing of babies and children.

Scenes are repeating across the United States, passersby and local residents confront & resist Trump's ICE regime troops as they’re spotted kidnapping their neighbours. The regime continues its campaign of ethnic cleansing, appearing at homes and businesses masked and without warrants. #3E #StopICE

It’s really striking how irregular the bands of mostly men conducting federal immigration enforcement are. They seem to have no particular uniform, they wear a variety of different agency initials on their tactical vests, or none at all, they’re inconsistent about displaying a badge…

If you have to repeatedly break the law to arrest those you claim have broken the law, you’re not enforcing the law. ICE has morphed into a terrorizing Gestapo-like goon squad. They must be held accountable.

Fascinated to see who the Libs choose as next leader. Will it be the woman who added an extra letter to her name for numerology reasons, the man who once described Europe as a ‘country’, or the man who proposed taxing a black market product. They really are spoilt for choice

One of the high priorities of our nonviolent resistance actions should be to isolate the authoritarians, and to divide them from each other and from their most devoted followers. We need to undermine their solidarity and their pillars of support. We need to make it easy to desert a failing regime.

Australia re-elects Anthony Albanese as Labor rides anti-Trump wave to seal crushing win
Opposition leader Peter Dutton fails to dissociate himself from Trump-like rhetoric and policies – and loses his seat * Anthony Albanese profile: the Australian PM who led Labor to victory Australia’s centre-left prime minister, Anthony Albanese, has won a second term with a crushing victory over the opposition, whose rightwing leader, Peter Dutton, failed to brush off comparisons with Donald Trump and ended up losing his own seat. Albanese’s Labor party scored an unexpectedly comfortable win on Saturday, after a five-week election campaign that was dominated by the cost of living and global economic uncertainty.

This is a relief, but it will only really matter if there's a new focus on holding Labor to account - in much higher resolution and at a much higher frequency. Renewables, transport and heavy industry progress should all be tracked without bias. "Give them more time" is no excuse, now.
