"Howard tied us to America so tightly, it would take a world-altering event to unshackle us. The tragic truth is though, even then, we would probably be on America’s side, even if it meant our own destruction," writes @amyremeikis.bsky.social.

It's an affront to our collective intelligence and empathy that indie journalists need to run around proving various bombed schools and hospitals aren't harbouring "terrorists". You should instinctively know that's nonsense and that American and Israeli regimes are FUCKING EVIL
This week's #SundayShot has @lucyham.bsky.social to give us a peek into the Advance conference, @davemilbo.bsky.social & @boganintel.bsky.social asking "How fascist are our times?" + Anne Twomey enlightening us on the Anti Hate laws.
(and @ronnisalt.bsky.social has done us another great promo vid!)
“There is no offset for what cannot be replaced,” writes Louise Morris, Advocate at The Australia Institute.

Missed #SundayShot ?
I could not recommend this ep highly enough.
Please either watch on YT or listen on pod.
Real facts with actual experts on immigration.
Public interest journalism can be done if you want to - & it's clear many don't #auspol > podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/t...
This week's #SundayShot is up! @australiainstitute.org.au's @grogsgamut.bsky.social & @asrc1.bsky.social's Jana Favero join us to provide context for the looming debate on immigration...even as we ponder if we're pandering to nasties by having the discussion at all.

Today's ABS data shows wages aren't keeping up w' inflation, as another bank, NAB, announces a quarterly profit of $2.1 bn. Wages rose a little but inflation climbed faster, meaning workers’ pay packets are going backwards in real terms & it's government decisions driving this.
Currently feeling white hot rage at #Centrelink - probably not a good time to call them.
At the end of this week, Anthony Albanese will become Australia's longest serving prime minister since John Howard. He's on track to rival Fraser and Hawke in time in the top job. But to leave what legacy?
Wow.
Saw this sign while having my morning coffee at #heartofcarlton today - need more signs like this in 2026.
Maybe time to educate the 35% on his past performance.
This 100% 👇

This is important. The possibility of foreign war criminals using our ABC to suppress their victims voices cannot be ignored.
"This appears to be another instance of Palestinian voices being silenced.”
So:
- Who directed that Mashni's interview be deleted, and why?
- Is ABC censoring views critical of Israel?
- has 'Lawyers for Israel' or other Zionist lobbies, pressured the ABC Chair?

Pure evil.
I feel sick reading this.
And our govt supports this regime.
Taken from Threads as @kaliaswild not on 🦋 - a timely reminder.
Here’s Bernard Keane’s article if you want to read more than the blurb on the photo.

Just so we’re clear:
Protesting a genocide and the invite of a man credibly accused of war crimes = unacceptable violence
Police beating and detaining said protestors = justified violence
Yes that was disgraceful, his withdrawal meant nothing, very insincere.
Australia was sold a pup (twice!).
I guess it’s easier to *talk* in Opposition than *do* in Govt.🤷♀️

An email from Epstein naming Herzog as coming to the island "this weekend" from 2014
Isaac Herzog, special guest of the Australian government this week, is in the Epstein files.
It appears he went to the pedo rape torture island, alongside Ehud Barak, former Israeli PM, in 2014, long after Epstein’s conviction and outing as a predator.

@albomp.bsky.social only the minority Zionist lobby want this visit to go ahead - no-one else, not other Jewish groups, not other cultural groups, not the majority of people who voted for you want this visit. This will cause more harm, please reconsider for the sake of the majority of Australians.
Human Rights lawyer Chris Sidoti condemns the visit by Israeli President Isaac Herzog to Australia. #auspol #CancelHerzog
Given our essential and often dire relationship with water it is foolhardy and against humanity’s interests long term for us to be promoting/endorsing/building or using AI or data centres - its not our interests being served is it?
@earthlyeducation.bsky.social thanks
Indefensible really.
