I agree!

Below are media trust figures for the US rather than Australia, but I suspect ours are similar.

The NPC is just following the MSM in deplatforming large sectors of society. So many valid viewpoints are deplatformed that, in the US, I guess only 28% of people don't notice the bias.

No sudden rupture is now required for the far right to take power in this country. For what we're seeing is a steady normalisation of extremists by the Conservative and Labour Parties, BBC, Telegraph, Mail and others. A shift once considered unthinkable beings to look acceptable, even inevitable.🧵

Trump is dismissive and bewildered by Thunberg evolving from climate activism to defending the powerless.

Of course he is. He is incapable of comprehending that they come from the same impulse that he has never felt: a fundamental, profound compulsion to care.

Greta Thunberg speaks to the press after being released from illegal detainment in Israel: "I could talk for a very, very long time about our mistreatment and abuses in our imprisonment. Trust me, but that is not the story.”

let’s not memory hole the time a zionist group doctored and circulated a video to make false claims about activists at the opera house on 9 October 2023 and the two women who exposed the hoax have been removed from their positions at the ABC and NSW Police, one of them unlawfully.

Can you imagine if Russia attacked and seized a UK vessel in international waters & kidnapped the people on board, including UK citizens, and the only response from the UK govt was to say that's "a matter for the Russian govt".

No, me neither.

No indication yet from major media that the FBI has any interest whatsoever in investigating this apparent attempted assassination of a well-known judge openly targeted on social media by the far-right activist—Harmeet Dhillon—currently calling herself Assistant Attorney General of the United States

Beachfront home of South Carolina judge, ex-senator burned to ground, injuring 3

Ex-senator Arnold Goodstein, along with two additional people, were rescued by several neighbors and paramedics from a marshy, remote area behind the home after jumping from the fist floor.

The police ignore supporters of the Ulster Volunteer Force. They let them break the same law.

Surely the police could just not arrest these Palestine Action protestors?

Unlike the UVF supporters police ignore the PA people seem pretty harmless.

I don't feel sorry for the police at all.

She was arrested for holding a sign reading:

“I do not support the proscription of Palestine Action”

How that would warrant arrest is very unclear. I wonder if the police here even understand the boundaries of the bizarre law they’ve been forced to enforce.

"According to complaints filed by Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights, the ACLU and the National Immigration Project, the abuse took place between 2023 and 2025, across two administrations."

The only moral policy is to dismantle ICE. We didn't have it before 9/11 and I don't think it can be reformed.
