"Power unused in the face of injustice is not restraint. It is a choice"
The Labor Party has drifted from its historic purpose, retreated from reform. Andrew Brown with the 1st in a series - what it means for Australia.

This week we made a big step to delivering universal child care, announcing the first neighborhoods that’ll receive 2,000 free 2-K seats this fall.
Best part? Spending time with the reason we’re in this fight: the young New Yorkers who deserve the brightest future possible.
When I first started out as a journalist I thought it paid to have a background in US history when covering America. Then I thought it would probably be better to be a constitutional lawyer with expertise in jurisprudence. Now I think it would be useful to be a psychiatrist.

Extraordinary to be reading in the media about our chances of surviving a global nuclear war... 43 years post "The Day After" and terrifying another generation.

History teachers: How are you contextualizing the U.S. war on Iran with your students? Consider covering the 1953 CIA coup overthrowing the democratically-elected Mossadegh government? Here is a good summary (with sources) from @zinnedproject.bsky.social. www.zinnedproject.org/news/tdih/ir...

Apparently the algorithm determining disability support is not working. It’s denying high level support to people that can’t breathe without assistance.

Just reminding everyone that if you don’t like Iran’s Islamic authoritarianism, it exists because the US overthrew a secular socialist Iran in 1953 because BP was losing oil profits.
Suddenly every strike goes from indirectly harming the US through its economy and financial relations, to directly costing a couple billion here, couple billion there...
There's skin in the game and then there's directly hooking the US treasury up to Iranian attacks on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.
Most of the media is demanding that everybody supports the war effort. Well, sod that. This is an illegal conflict, launched by a decrepit American to distract from his domestic problems, which has already killed hundreds of women and children. I didn’t back the Iraq war in 2003. Nor this one!
The Australian Human Rights Commission’s President and Commissioners for children and women’s rights have called on the Australian Government to support efforts to enable 34 Australian women and children held in the al-Roj camp in Syria to return to Australia humanrights.gov.au/about-us/med...

Albanese has now admitted that Australians were onboard the US nuclear sub that sank an Iranian vessel and left the crew to drown, in a violation of international law. This was always an inevitability of AUKUS. End AUKUS now.
You can tell how much Labor and the Coalition care about the poor Iranians by the way they hastily built a series of offshore concentration camps to imprison Iranian refugees *forever* when they tried to escape the regime.

Weeksville was one of the largest free Black communities in pre-Civil War America. Today, it remains a cornerstone of this city, but its history has too often been overlooked.
