Video shows Israeli air strikes pounding areas in southern Lebanon in violation of the November 2024 ceasefire with Hezbollah. Israel says its near-daily attacks are targeting the group’s members or infrastructure. Lebanese officials say more than 10,000 violations have killed at least 330 people.

My amazing team showed up (with some smaller ring-ins) together with @jennyleong.bsky.social and all the crew from the ASC. Restoring the mural, cleaning back graffiti and making connections to support friends and neighbours who are here seeking asylum and protection.

According to Australian Taxation Office transparency data, INPEX’s Australian entities have booked more than $36 billion in revenue over the past 11 financial years. Over that same period, they have paid less than $500 million in corporate income tax. In many years, they paid nothing at all.

An investigation into Inpex, and its gigantic Ichthys gas project, reveals systemic failure of Australia's tax system and corporate ruses.

“In order to grieve, we need this genocidal cretin and president of apartheid Israel to visit, we simply can’t otherwise” is an absurd and obscene demand. Literally trying to use the dead to normalise a war criminal. As usual, there is zero self-awareness as to what this reveals about their values.
somebody please organise an opportunity for that community to grieve.

And then there’s this shameless garbage from Albanese, repeating the tired line that “people don’t want conflict brought here” while literally inviting the president of the “conflict” here. The utter contempt these people have for Australians is so glaring.

Australia's Liberal party is stuffed every which way. Nats partner not much better off.

Neither can win a federal election alone.

Can't tell you how long I've wished for & dreamt of this.

Only thing I can't explain: Why are there no street parties, dancing, singing bawdy songs & fireworks? !!

Vikki Campion can't muster one argument on why there shouldn't be an inquiry into right wing extremism in NSW ... so she goes with the old chestnut of 'whataboutism'.

'How about an inquiry into child brides marrying older men?' she screeches. (Guess who married a man 18 years her senior 👇)

I would say you can probably triple 71k and you'd still be short on the number of people Israel and the US/EU blob has murdered.

We’re living in a generation of rage‑media-division sells.

I can be offended by Jan 26 & still love my country.

I’m tired of Aboriginal ppl being painted as enemies of the country for exercising our right to protest.

This narrative doesn’t just divide us; it normalises hate towards us.

The coverage of One Nation this week has been some of the softest coverage of any political force, ever. It's been a shocking week.

I think people would be shocked to realise how it compares to what journalists were asking Pauline Hanson 25 years ago.

We want the Gestapo to be acceptable
Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said the party agreed on three main goals:

° Require warrants in some cases and ICE coordination with state and local law enforcement

° Create a code of conduct and enforce it

° Require agents to wear body cams and not masks
Democrats demand new ICE restrictions as government shutdown looms
After federal agents shot and killed Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, Senate Democrats say they’ll block a massive government funding package without policy changes.
