The NACC report is astonishing for just how many non-sequiturs, excuses and naive assumptions can be packed into 455 pages. The deputy commissioner who authored it is not a judge, unlike Catherine Holmes. And it shows. www.crikey.com.au/2026/03/13/n...
Medicare for All - "That's socialism!"
Social Security - "That's socialism!"
Debt free education - "That's socialism!"
Universal childcare - "That's socialism!"
$1 billion per day on a war in the Middle East that no one wants, while millions of people at home struggle.
"That's just how it is."

I'm crying that he thinks this is a good way to argue for MORE engagement of the US

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:
Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down
Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace
Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs
Folks, we’ve seen this all before.
If it’s true that the United States bombed an elementary school and killed scores of children it is an unfathomable crime. I have never been more disgusted to be an American.
Guy alters my cartoon by AI in a way my workplace lawyers specifically advised me against, posts his version which violates my intellectual property. I ask him repeatedly to delete, he admits he doesn’t know how then tells me to provide the legal argument for him to do it.

Do we really want a world where the strong can do as they please and the weak suffer as they must? I wrote for The Guardian today about why Australia shouldn’t stand for this, and why international law matters for a middle power like Australia #auspol #politas

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.
We mustn’t let this war do so.
Seriously. How long is society going to sit on their hands and tolerate this bullshit, day in and day out?
We ALL deserve a life that isn't a constant struggle to survive.
Important thread. Read the whole thing. And then... speak out.
This stupidity goes beyond a manufactured moral panic.
It is a strategy of racism and misogyny designed to harvest One Nation votes back to the Liberals. #auspol

We all saw the same image of how slave ships were laid out in grade school, right?
I don’t know when Labor governments stop trying to please conservatives and learn that even by adopting their talking points and agreeing they’ll still get slammed - SO WHY NOT STAND FOR THE ACTUAL TRUTH AND WHAT’S RIGHT but it’s not today. This goes for appointments too
was Pam Bondi trying to un-hibernate Auto-Tune the News?
[Thread of threads]
I'd forgotten I'd made threads as soon as I got here. It wasn't very practical, but I couldn't help myself. 😅
Until I have a system for grouping them on my profile, like on the other network, I'll gather them here. 🖖
1/ George Lucas and the three-second rule:
Many ISIS brides were Australian children, taken from AU with no choice/ability to consent to the sex slavery they endured as child brides. That they were taken should disgust you @albomp.bsky.social not them. They are victims, so are their children! @tonyburkemp.bsky.social #BringThemHome #auspol

Screenshot of a CNN segment shared by Acyn. A split-screen shows commentator Lydia Moynihan on the left and Kevin O’Leary on the right during a heated exchange. The chyron reads, “Obama: Dems need to avoid scolding and ‘virtue-signaling.’” The post quotes O’Leary referencing China and concentration camps, and McGowan responding about West Virginia.
I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.
6 raku vases in a grid with a white background in two rows of three. There is a vase name in black text under each image, from left to, to right bottom, the names are Lagoon Nebula, Draconis, Skyfire, Pinwheel, Persueus'Cloud, Tethy's Tide.
A closeup of 3 vases glowing in the reduction firing of the raku process.
The world feels very unsettled, and art isn’t always the priority in these trying times. Even so, I'm here and keep on making.
These are my latest one-of-a-kind raku vessels available now. A share or like to help them find their people would mean a great deal. 🙏
What’s one way we can rein in ICE?
We can start by boycotting ICE’s corporate collaborators that are profiting from the agency’s cruelty.
Watch.
Civil rights leader Jesse Jackson has passed away at the age of 84. My thoughts are with his family.
I wanted to share this clip from his appearance on Sesame Street in 1971. His important words ring just as true today as they did back then.
Editorial: Jon died on Sunday. It is unbearably sad that he is no longer here. The world is less just without him. Most of his cartoons are still relevant because too little has changed and a lot has become worse. satpa.pe/afHAmrN
