I suggest starting by going to Chris Hedges substack and listening to the interview with Alastair Crooke- it’s an hour and if you’re like me, you’ll have a whole new way of looking at things afterwards. It was mind blowing. Might need to watch it again actually- too much to take in.
This interview is mind-blowing. Laid out with lots of detail, and some devastating consequences. Invest in reality by taking the hour to listen.
“Everything we can save is worth saving. Everything we can do is worth doing. We’ve already lost a lot, but we don’t have to lose everything. We don’t have to surrender.” 💯

Israel has been doing a lot besides bombing Iran. From the killing of Palestinians in the occupied West Bank to the bombing of cities across Lebanon, Zeteo’s Mohammed Abdelbary looks at some of the most dire headlines that didn’t make it to the first page this week.

Indigenous Australians “noted a shift in online rhetoric after the failed voice to parliament referendum in 2023. The campaign and its subsequent defeat unleashed a racist underbelly in society after a toxic debate, political divide and community harm coalesced in a way that has yet to be undone.”
IOW, "Up yours, Adelaide University." 🙌🏻 #auspol #sapol #FrancescaAlbaneseShallNotBeSilenced
“Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei had wanted stronger guarantees the Pentagon would not use its AI technology for deadly autonomous weapons or mass domestic surveillance.” The DOD has
now designated Anthropic a “threat to national security” & banned it from doing business w/ the military. 3/5/26 … 1/
And Australia complicit with Aus military personnel on board the US sub.
GOOD NEWS! Researchers at Stanford University have developed a UNIVERSAL vaccine known as GLA-3M-052-LS+OVA, that protects against a wide range of respiratory viruses, bacteria AND even allergens. The vaccine is delivered intranasally AND provides broad protection in the lungs for several MONTHS.
The “Scheming aliens…” narrative makes “every minority… less safe – not just Muslims, recent immigrants, refugees, Black and Brown people, but also Jews and everyone else who has suffered at the hands of the far right. Learn it or repeat it: that is, and has always been, our choice.”

A bullock runs up a Cotswolds hill as the sun sets in the background, making everyone feel like they have stepped into one of the illustrations by Kit Williams in his book Masquerade, even though at that point the bullock hadn’t read it (I loaned him my spare copy later that evening in a pub in Dursley and, as anticipated, he never returned it to me, which is fine, and just the way things go with books).
Almost certainly the most psychedelic photo I have taken of a bullock at sunset.
The answer to Lucy's important but rhetorical question is, of course: No.
Excellent piece on the hateful and dangerous ideology underpinning Christian Right politicians like Deeming. #Advance #SpringSt #auspol

Also, this is quite an old photo of me, not sure why.
Screenshot of an X post by Senator Tom Cotton saying Iran has been an imminent threat to the United States for 47 years and that the president was right to act. Below is a Fox News segment with Cotton speaking while footage labeled “U.S. Central Command – Unclassified” shows a strike.
“Imminent.” You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
It's not even a secret, big fossil fuel corporations run government agenda - NOT voters
Labor ditched YOU after you voted and went straight back to the REAL agenda - corporate greed, profit at our expense
It's a global agenda designed to ignore climate threats and environment - it's about IDEOLOGY
“Our Palestinian team members in the West Bank and Gaza have no sirens or bomb shelters, and those inside the Green Line are left without equal access to public protection and shelters, all while facing state persecution for simply speaking out against the war.” Clarity from @haggaim.bsky.social
From @haggaim.bsky.social in @972mag.com this morning: “once again, we find ourselves reporting on a cruel, unnecessary war. …As we write this, many of our Israeli team members and writers are ducking in and out of bomb shelters. As ever under apartheid, however, access to safety is not equal…”
Breaking: internal Israeli intelligence documents indicate more than 4 in 5 Palestinians killed in Gaza are civilians.

My dream home lies in ruins. I will never forgive Israel, or the world
After the Israeli army razed my childhood home 25 years ago, I spent years building a new one for my family. Now, like most of Khan Younis, all that remains is rubble.
