So genocide: Yeah! Children's Hospital for its victims: Nah.
As bad as having Dutton would've been. Disgraceful
@senatorwong.bsky.social
@albomp.bsky.social honestly don't know how you sleep at night any more. Never been more ashamed of our country.

Hope. Act. Hope. Act. Hope. Act. Cry, deep breath, scream into void, then go again. Much as it goes against my nature to say it: there’s no more time for our despondency.
Israeli Government now paying for ads on google when you search ‘global sumud flotilla’.
Report.
It began with crowd size.
The chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court obtained arrest warrants against Israeli leaders for war crimes. He also faces charges of sexual misconduct. The two issues have become entangled.
@albomp.bsky.social @senatorwong.bsky.social where are you?
What courage looks like.
The silencing continues...
The National Press Club of Australia, caving to the Israel lobby, Cancels My Talk on Our Betrayal of Palestinian Journalists open.substack.com/pub/chrished...
If the National Press Club is silencing journalists rather than loudly and bravely denouncing the attacks on~and murder of~them, and amplifying their voices, then what’s the point of it? Shame on you NPC.
Send an email to your government in seconds to demand the release of civilians attempting to deliver aid on the Global Sumud Flotilla and for an end to supporting the Genocide in Palestine.

@albomp.bsky.social @senatorwong.bsky.social Richard Marles: What will it take to stop enabling this? However you frame it, Australian's don't want to look back and say they enabled these horrors.
"Who around the world allows this to happen?"

Whatever action you can take: take it. Only light can drive out darkness and your action is light, however small. All our tiny candles can bring an end to this unimaginable darkness. They must.
“It’s been engineered, [the famine in Gaza is] absolutely preventable...”
Unicef Spokesperson James Elder joined @mehdirhasan.bsky.social to discuss the ‘man-made’ famine in Gaza and how humanitarian efforts are exceedingly difficult with Israel’s constant bombardment.

“Where in the world is this allowed to happen?”
From on the ground in Gaza, UNICEF Spokesman James Elder tells @mehdirhasan.bsky.social about the worst things he’s seen — including children targeted by quadcopters and shot at American aid sites.

If we all do a little, it can mean a lot. I *know* we can feel useless and powerless from far away. Don't let that futillity get in the way of taking whatever small action you can. 💛🕊️
Whatever we can do to help; we will. It feels very small and futile in the face of such aggression, but I know the only way peace ever thrives is when we all do the little we can and that little becomes immense. So much love and solidarity ❤️

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador.
Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.
The Global Sumud Flotilla seemingly breached Israel’s blockade of Gaza while provoking an Israeli response that triggered anger and reprisals from various governments. It’s one of the most successful acts of civil disobedience in recent history. jacobin.com/2025/10/sumu...
I always pay attention to what stories People Magazine and other consumer media outlets cover. That's how you can tell that something has broken through the usual political and news bubbles. This horrific Chicago story has broken through. people.com/ice-agents-o...
This is smart policy for the environment, for health, and for the animals. Secondarily, benefits for the economy in saved healthcare costs alone (likely the fastest benefits to be realised) will be hugely rewarding
Evil indeed. I hope all they saw was the mass walk out when he took the podium.
Jesse Watters just called for the bombing of the UN on national television. FCC? Nothing? Crickets? Got it.
Same goes for public schools, colleges, and universities.
And in good-er news:
I really do recommend writing poetry, because if you write it (even if you aren't satisfied with your own poems as: whom amongst us) you will start to _read_ other people's poetry with more excitement and focus and appreciation, and that is a joy.
AFL and NRL grand finals bring celebration, but also alarming spikes in domestic and family violence across Australia.
