I'm writing about the Palestine Action hunger strikers at the moment, any of whom could die at any moment, and the astonishing media and government silence surrounding them. The Establishment seems to have become even crueller than when Thatcher was PM.
NSW Premier Minns has always been anti protest. His latest ban on peaceful assemblies & protests is racist & divisive. We will resist - silence on #genocide is unethical. Read this piece by Nick Riemer

I highly recommend watching this segment, not just because the CBS News execs and the White House didn’t want you to, but because these men were tortured and they deserved to have their voices heard.
So ‘Australia’ DOES know how to expel ambassadors.
Just not for live-streamed genocide, ethnic cleansing, forced starvation, torture, r*pe of kidnapped political prisoners, apartheid, assassination of journalists, first responders, healthcare workers etc.
Right-O.
The Sunflower program needs a lot of help, I think. In Australia at least. Didn’t amplify a thing for ME/CFS awareness week or month even when plenty from the community messaged them. Not even a reply.
This quote would mean a whole lot more if we weren’t the sole supplier of the F-35 jet mechanism which enables Israel to drop the catastrophic bombs that blow those people up.
Over 100,000 Australians marched across the symbolic heart of Sydney today, and together we showed more leadership on one rainy afternoon than our PM and Foreign Minister have shown in 2 years from the comfort of their offices. Free Palestine. Sanction Israel. 🇵🇸 🕊️
Like a toddler running from her own soiled nappy, petulant despite the stench, Penny Wong, Foreign Minister, this week unloaded on the ever-soggy halls of Australia’s Parliament, saying: “We are not supplying weapons or ammunition to Israel.”
... What a banger of an opening 😙🤌
Here she is shaking the hand of the man who signed the fucking white phosphorous bombs
Can those in the australian ‘progressive’ orbit stop simping for AOC and Bernie already? I get it — I was pumped for Bernie 10 years ago too.
At best, they’re channeling beautiful dissent back into the neolib shit show of the Democrats. At worst, they’re complicit in genocide.
UN slams Indonesia: Massive land grab displaces 50,000+ Indigenous Papuans. Over 109,000 hectares deforested. No consent. Military used to silence dissent. Forests gone. Rights crushed. Lives destroyed

If you’re gonna attend the Festival de Cannes’ screening of the Six Billion Dollar Man, this is absolutely the way to do it.
Julian Assange's t-shirt lists the names of 4,986 Palestinian children aged five and under, killed by Israeli since 2023.
ISRAEL BUTCHERS CHILDREN.
Free Palestine.
Well done Nine papers, looking forward to your outrage at what happened this morning at the dawn service.
'The biggest funder of Advance last financial year — by a factor of 10 — was the Liberal Party, which gave it $500,000 via its election funding vehicle, the Cormack Foundation.'
The welcome to country was booed at the Melbourne dawn service.
This group of bad actors, "Advance", has been aggressively sowing hate and division behind-the-scenes against the Indigenous ceremony.
Advance is quietly funded by the Liberal Party. (ICYMI:)

It was obvious to me when I was a *fucking teenager* that neoliberalism would lead to fascism and collapse. I guess now I'm salty as fuck at all the ppl I tried to tell this to over decades, ppl that went on to become lawyers and accountants and whatever, that thought I was nuts. Pig brained stooges
💯 this is precisely how fossil/banking multinational funded #AtlasNetwork propaganda experts and corporate press amplifiers win. This is why 'fact checking' etc is ineffective. We need to instead organise against the actual sponsors and authors of systemic disinformation. Make the story ABOUT THEM.
At the protests in Vermont yesterday
Look at the far right scurrying about, pretending they’re not working together.
Odd that @australia.theguardian.com didn’t mention that Sophie Calland, spokes for astroturfing Better Australia / Better Council, is the wife of Ofir Birenbaum of Cairo Cafe fame.

Even Amnesty and HRW urged the UN not to adopt the IHRA working definition of antisemitism which conflates criticism of israel w antisemitism.
Einstein himself believed the settler colonial project and Zionism were in conflict with “the essential nature of Judaism.”

'Now she wondered how many people she knew were gearing up to embrace a far-right party whose ranks include neo-Nazis. “They are our neighbours, they are parents. And they are daring to again choose fascism,” she said.'
According to the ABC, the mass bleaching of Ningaloo was "because of a marine heatwave" e.g. an Act of God, by no direct human action.
Not a single mention of fossil fuel combustion or global heating.
Gas is God in the PetroState, invisible, omnipotent, wrathful.

Here's video of Steve Bannon doing a Sieg Heil today at CPAC. It is what it is and it's what Bannon intended. Don't let yourself be gaslit.
My latest for @theshot.net.au. If Dutton is so appalled by anti-semitism, maybe he shouldn't embolden actual Nazis?
