Until you get close to it you never really grasp just how many people and groups there are telling govt what they want to hear so they can say they have “talked to govt” and groups and people who advise the govt to do nothing because that will never be controversial.

If you are too young to remember the Iraq War, you'll hear "no one protested" and "no one knew they were lying." Millions of people knew they were lying and protested. The press not only did not want a record of mass dissent; they did not want a record of mass knowledge of lies.

Sadly the silence of Australian NGOs on Palestinian liberation that @nehamadhok.bsky.social wrote about in 2024 continues today, despite the violent genocide we are witnessing every day. open.substack.com/pub/nehamadh...

And it speaks volumes. Most Australian nonprofits are silent, or worse, both-siding genocide. Anti-racism means showing up, even when it’s risky. Here’s what solidarity looks like. If your nonprofit t...

Graham Perrett is a good one. Sorry to see him leave parliament live.australiainstitute.org.au
‘Dehumanising humans due to differences is a pathway to hell’ says Graham Perrett in defence of trans people.
Graham Perrett is finishing his speech with a defence of transpeople and warns against politicians interfering in private health matters:

I especially want to mention the parliamentary friends of LGBTIQ, a plus group that I helped form with Warren Entsch a long time ago, and Senator Sarah Hanson-Young. I know it’s in good hands, but with my good friend and comrade, Louise Pratt and Warren leaving soon I concerned that the 48th Parliament might not be ready for the US style attacks directed at the trans community.

In Queensland, in fact, some might say those attacks already here.

Bullies and fascists always seek small groups to target. They are not alone in seeking out the trans community in this way, trying to turn real people into the other.

Remember that Jesus Christ is no weather vane. He loves all people, always, not some people, sometimes.

He loves they and them and even you. And perhaps, if some politicians have become obsessed with how kids go to the loo, maybe it’s time to leave the cult and go see a therapist.

Dehumanising humans due to differences, is a pathway to hell.

Top comment on the recent NYT story on DOGE’s young aides www.nytimes.com/shared/comme...
Goran
World - yesterday

As someone who grew up under an authoritarian regime, I can offer one crucial piece of advice: time is everything. If you don’t stand up now—if you don’t protest, resist, disrupt, and refuse to comply—you may lose your country forever. Authoritarianism thrives on silence, hesitation, and fear. The longer people wait, the more entrenched the regime becomes, making resistance exponentially harder. Every moment of inaction is a moment the regime uses to tighten its grip. History has shown that those who act early have the best chance of reclaiming their freedom. The time to fight back is now.

Ahh love the "we have a gas shortage" stories. Nope, foreign gas companies just prefer to sell Australia's gas overseas for more profit. (they also pay bugger all tax, and barely any royalties)
Chart showing that in 2022-23 4,976PJ of gas was either exported as LNG or used to convert gas to LNG. Meanwhile the projected shortage of gas in the 2030s is around 300PJ.

Sorry, Tik Tok isn't available right
now
A law banning TikTok has been enacted in the U.S. Unfortunately, that means you can't use TikTok for now.
We are fortunate that President Trump has indicated that he will work with us on a solution to reinstate TikTok once he takes office. Please stay tuned!

Behind the scenes, the company was also quietly dismantling a system to prevent the spread of misinformation. When the company announced on Jan. 7 that it would end its fact-checking partnerships, the company also instructed teams responsible for ranking content in the company’s apps to stop penalizing misinformation, according to sources and an internal document obtained by Platformer.

The result is that the sort of viral hoaxes that ran roughshod over the platform during the 2016 US presidential election — “Pope Francis endorses Trump,” Pizzagate, and all the rest — are now just as eligible for free amplification on Facebook, Instagram, and Threads as true stories.
