If the #USA seeks to take #Greenland by military force, would Australia be required under #AUKUS to support them? Did we provide logistical or any other support when they attacked #Venezuela and kidnapped Maduro? Australia seems to be acting like a cowed vassal state of a tyrannical empire. #auspol

Mary Somerville - the person for whom the word scientist was coined by William Whewell in his 1834. She was a polymath, an intellectual tour de force at a time when teaching women to read and write let alone think deeply was frowned upon or ignored ⚒️🧪🌊

If AUS PM Anthony Albanese thinks the Zionist lobby, Gina Rinehart, the LNP and some "prominent sports people" represent what Australians want, he is very very out of touch. Didn't he see 300,000 Australians march across the Sydney Harbour Bridge in support of Palestine?! #auspol #FreePalestine

Might it be convenient for the #US to break the #NATO alliance, easing the push by #Russia into Europe while declaring its ownership of the Americas? It is important for imperialists that, if they can, they avoid direct conflict with other imperialistic powers. Spheres of influence?
Denmark's prime minister, Mette Frederiksen, has warned that any US move to take Greenland by force would destroy 80 years of transatlantic security links, after US President Donald Trump repeated his desire to annex the mineral-rich Arctic territory. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...
Trump attack on Greenland would mean end of NATO, says Danish leader
Military intervention in Venezuela has reignited fears about US President Donald Trump's designs on the autonomous Danish territory.

The US is now a self-described imperialist. "US imperialism" is not a cliche. The filth of the US and Russian regimes is sickening.
I can't create new cartoons at the moment because I'm blissfully away in Spain, largely ignoring the news.
But, if you need one - just replace a country in these with Venezuela, Cuba or Mexico and you'll get the idea

You said "labor" Peter. I think you're confusing its title with its nature.
Superb @nswsocialists.bsky.social video explains: In NSW, the Chris Minns Labor Govt has done a deal with the Liberals, changing workers' compensation rights, increasing the threshold for "permanent impairment" from 15% to 25% for psychological injury! A Labor Govt did this. 😠 #nswpol #WorkersRights

At least 17 Palestinians were killed when damaged homes collapsed on them during winter storms in Gaza. Five children also died from hypothermia in makeshift tents.
