Allegations of children with bound hands in mass graves. Time for your "deep concern" again @senatorwong.bsky.social? Another atrocity to ignore @albomp.bsky.social? Do you have ANY red line for Israel, which would impel your government to take *real* action? #GazaGenocide #auspol

In an unprecedented act of dissent, active-duty USAF Major Jason Watson was arrested on the Capitol steps after calling for the impeachment & removal of Donald Trump. Risking his career to uphold his constitutional oath, his arrest marks a historic moment. ✊🏻✊🏿✊🏼✊🏾✊🏽

AHPRA "reversed a written position on one of the most contested definitions in public life and offered no account of who made the decision, what evidence was weighed, what legal advice was taken, or why the professions were bypassed." More Israeli foreign interference. #auspol

A massive Georgia data center drained nearly 30 million gallons of water, sparking outrage among local residents asked to conserve water during a drought. Residents of Fayetteville, Georgia, first noticed something was wrong when their home water pressure mysteriously plummeted.

i dont think the RC would be the slightest bit concerned about such distinctions. the entire thing is a circus with a predetermined outcome — generating Victim status for Israel and it's supporters and pariah status for anybody critical of Israel's genocide and 75 years of ethnic cleansing.

they open the definition of “speech” to costume and slogans for one side and close down the definition of speech to preclude taunts and blatant apartheid language on the other side. it’s a classic example of bad law open to improper policing.

This is from the court filing. We know for a fact that CSG told an Australian soldier to disobey direct orders and lie to his superiors - to put them and Israel above his oath to this country. And Minns wants to give them permission to be their own official armed police force here. This is fucked.
d) During the [2nd interview], [the Applicant] stated he has loyalty to the CSG [Community Security Group]... he was specifically told to describe the Israel-based training courses as Jewish leadership courses... The Applicant) stated he did not openly declare the purpose of his Israel travel during the clearance process as he was worried doing so would have a negative effect on his security clearance process and would require answering more questions about the CSG, which he had been told by the CSG to be guarded about... F ASIO→ assesses [the Applicant] intentionally withheld information on his travel to attend Israel-based training courses. F ASIO»
assesses this demonstrates [the
Applicant's] loyalty to Israel outweighs his obligations to the Australian Government as a security clearance holder.

Fascism is BY DEFINITION a counter-revolutionary reaction from elites to a revolutionary moment/movement. No elite or revolution can impose Communism & fascism simultaneously, since they're diametrically opposed in many respects. even if they may have superficial similarities in terms of authority.

neoliberal conservatives are all concerned about the "independence" of the Reserve Bank, for all the wrong reasons… which puts progressives in a double bind critiquing this whole sh!t show.

when you say mainstream media, i take it you mean mega-corporation owned media, right? how mainstream is it when breakfast news "journalists" casually suggest imprisoning all the homeless people, and the other, agreeing, says, or just euthanize them all with terminal injections…

call it what it is, mega-corporate owned media. nothing mainstream about a morning show host suggesting homeless people be jailed for being homeless and another one suggesting that they all just just get euthanized with a shot in the arm. that's not mainstream even for sick SUA, next-level schtick.

markets are a state creation in the first instance. we couldn't have "free markets" without hundreds of years of property law leading up to that. we didn't have a labour market without the state creating the concept of unemployment (taxation creates unemployment, look up the Hut Tax on wikipedia).

"It is fiendishly difficult to tie down the exact causes of any cancer, even though we know all cancers are caused by genes." We know wat? Can't confuse effect (mutation) with cause (vectors → cell mutation). Nutrition remains main cause factor. Most human cancers' favorite food is animal protein.
