"It is ridiculous that antifa has become this boogeyman. If they're going to tell us they are going to find the founder of Antifa, isn't the founder of Antifa...Winston Churchill? FDR? Didn't they lead a war against fascism? Wasn't that anti-fascism?" - me

…consoled or fooled by subtler first steps.

Price & Hastie don’t care that their views are minority. Watch USA. The long game is minority authoritarian rupture of representative government.

Andrew Hastie: soldier for an extreme version of governing by Christ

Andrew Hastie is a more extreme Fundamentalist Christian than Scott Morrison. Australians cannot let his attempts to lead the nation go unchallenged. His place on the ARC Board is a warning.

This is the Ad that #Newscorpse initially pulled despite that it was already paid for by the Jewish Council of Australia. #Newscorpse deny they pulled it, saying it was delayed due to internal processes. Sounds like BS, I’m pretty sure they don’t want ppl to see it. Plz share.

Next time someone on the right claims all the political violence in this country is coming from the left, not the right, do please show them this.

You're welcome

I have just finished reading Gunnawah by @ronnisalt.bsky.social and as a teenager living in the 1970s from a small town of almost a thousand, living on Wiradjuri land, the characters are authentic and the whole ethos of small-town Australia rings true. Highly recommend.

I’ve written about media’s double standard in reporting political violence, comparing their wall to wall coverage - and legitimisation - of Charlie Kirk to their muted and quickly forgotten coverage of Melissa Hortman’s assassination. It’s media inequality.

From Kirk to Hortman: The media’s double standard on political violence

The mainstream media’s response to political violence reveals who they believe deserves remembrance and who they’re willing to forget.

Everyday Australians shouldn't be forced to foot the bill from increasingly frequent and severe climate disasters.

We need a climate disaster levy on fossil fuel exports now. #auspol

I see the Australian government has expelled the Iranian ambassador because of damaging a synagogue and potentially harming people. Now they should do the same with the Israeli ambassador whose country has been destroying buildings and actually killing thousands of people.
