After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Australia's deliberately punitive unemployment "relief" system must end.

JobSeeker: Shame, and now with added AI slop

Shame and harm at every JobSeeker turn – and now added AI slop

The system is so convoluted and stacked against people that even if it worked as intended, it would still be not just harmful, but useless.

All of them. I have a bog salvia I particularly love and the blue banded bees seem to prefer the darker purples. But there are so many more LOL

These freaks keep getting on TV talking about opposing antifa and how they believe antifa wants to destroy them, and not a single person in mainstream media has asked or commented on what is the opposite of antifascism and who is threatened by antifascists

This is desperately sad. Professor John Woinarski breaks the news for @aunz.theconversation.com that Australia's next animal - the tiny Christmas Island Shrew - has officially been declared extinct.

And then there were none: Australia’s only shrew declared extinct

Australia’s only known shrew has been declared extinct. Its loss emphasises the need for national protection of Australia’s rare and unique wildlife.

Will Netanyahu torpedo the ‘Gaza peace plan’ sooner rather than later?

Here’s Noam Chomsky explaining the cyclical pattern of Israel reaching a ceasefire with Hamas, and then openly breaking the ceasefire and resuming the slaughter.

The western media always refers to “the hostages” as those held by Hamas.

Apparently they are too lazy to access the readily available evidence,
or so imbued with an attitude of dehumanising and ignoring Palestinians (aka racism),
that they rarely mention the hundreds of hostages held by Israel.

Emissary Of Night | ليلى @diplomatofnight.com · 2d

Netanyahu's mouthpiece, Amit Segal, casually admits on Twitter that his country has been holding 1,700 people from Gaza hostage, including children.

Among other things, according to the decision:

- 250 security prisoners will be released.
- 1,700 residents of the Gaza Strip who were not involved in the events of October 7 and were arrested after the massacre will be released.
- 22 minors under the age of 18, residents of the Gaza Strip who were not involved in the events of October 7 and were arrested after the massacre, will be released.
- 360 bodies of terrorists will be returned.

So, just let me get this straight. Hamas has not agreed to disarm, and since Netanyahu will no longer have any hostage pressure, he will be free to resume bombing the shit out of things at his earliest convenience? Just giving Trump a few weeks to cosplay as a humanitarian.
