I'm tired of being told we are all doomed when I see cultural awakening all around me. Custodians are returning to thier waters. Entire families are camped out on thier Lands, far away from media view The Sovereigns are waging a quiet war on colonisation. Always Was, Always will be Aboriginal Land.

Do we really want 250,000 mirrored satellites in Low Earth Orbit? Hasn't the Starlink megaconstellation already done enough damage?

but in practice, DIS- or MIS- both create adverse impacts

AI-generated misinformation about 4yo Gus prompts tech and legal concerns

David Pocock just got ejected from the parliamentary sports club after exposing Alboes investments in gambling.

Hmm. What would Labor do? Stall and haggle over bringing in some awful own the lefties bill.
That's what Libs will do, then they'll side with secrecy

How strange, right after he uncovered Anthony Albanese direct investments and profiting in the gambling trade.

Don't forget Australia's contribution to offshore prisons and using incarceration as a means of genocide.

John Breen’s Body @acab.dad · May 2

For years, Israel has held thousands of Palestinians in prison in horrible and torturous conditions, often without any charges.

They’ve borrowed these repressive and counterinsurgent techniques from the US and from Britain and have perfected them over decades.

Must be shit having young people judge your creation that is ' democratic society' which is actually the anti thesis of democracy.
Nice one guys. Good job. 👍

It is mate you can do a matriculation cert in 2 years now. Gotta get a near perfect score for uni though. He did a heap of community stuff too so had enough to get in. Worked so hard.

It is such an achievement. He basically crammed 12 years i
of schooling into 2. The lad is a genius.

It always gives me a jolt when people I meet that work in city welfare services view an equitable society as an impossible utopia.
I'm fairly sure it's achievable with a little bit of courage guys.

Not to frighten Australians, but Americans have a bill of rights.
UK, USA ,Canada, NZ and Aus have signed agreements to be lawfully on the same page. What's happening there is coming here. Fast.

Just have to take a beat to say that the people that have long warned about state violence and the militarization of law enforcement were right.
