So apparently soon I could face up to TWO YEARS in jail for political art that says “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” if someone "takes offence". This is what Crisafulli is proposing in QLD. Acceptable speech is narrowing in real time. And it's fckn terrifying.

One thing that now even the most hopeful have to admit, is that the unctuous European tactic of flattering, praising, massaging Trump has been a catastrophic failure and made things worse.

State control of historical memory is a classic hallmark of authoritarian regimes, just FYI.
The White House says the Smithsonian Institution must submit materials about current and upcoming exhibitions and events for a review that will determine whether they express "improper ideology." n.pr/4583d8f

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful.
They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone.
Don't fall for it.

Big Oil spent nearly $450M backing Trump & Republican candidates last year.
Now, during one of the longest government shutdowns in history, Senate Republicans voted to gut a policy protecting millions of acres in Alaska from oil drilling.
Talk about a return on investment.

Watched the 10yr anniversary 2015 doco @denkmit.bsky.social . It confirmed 2 things for me. 1. The racing was fantastic pre-aero and ride-height. 2. It was the people around Vale feeding the conspiracy theories in his head, particularly Uccio, and this led to the clash & loss of the championship.

This is so insane. Public education needs a massive boost, not cuts. Almost all non-gov schools are religiously affiliated in some way- why are we outsourcing education to religious orgs? Education is compulsory- we should have pride in and strengthen our secular public schools, not undermine them.
Labor during the election: “we’ll fully fund public schools”
Labor after the election: “actually we meant private schools soz”

Poor State Library of Qld: I hear it continued to stand strong for their prize and its worthy winner, @wyld.bsky.social until they got a legally-binding, mandatory directive from the Arts Minister to rescind it. Terrible position to be in. Over to publishers: this book needs to be picked up now.

Another day, another cultural institution failing to defend artists & their freedom of expression, this time the rescinding of a Fellowship to First Nations author Karen Wyld. State Library of Qld is the latest to capitulate in the face of pressure from News Corp & politicians dancing to its tune.

Maybe if you funded community facilities like sports and recreation grounds, village/community halls, parks, theatres where people could meet and share hobbies and passions, you could prevent the UK from becoming "an island of strangers".
Or you could just do some racism and hope that works.

Allow me to address the elephant in the room: The decades-long outsourcing of domestic manufacturing to China was not an insidious Chinese conspiracy for dominance but the greedy strategy of the American ruling class to explode its profit margins by exploiting global inequality.

This article is a classic and so depressing, because Rushkoff explains to the billionaires that improving the world right now will keep them safer and happier than any amount of money possibly could in the event of apocalypse, and it bounces off them, just like every idiot boss you've ever had.
