Don't look for an inspirational quote especially on social media

[Joshua Johnstone @Josh198923]

1. These commentators are not progressive and should be in the Liberal Party; they lack understanding of progressive politics.

2. Nepean is a safe Liberal seat, and 9% in a conservative area is quite good.

3. Labor's federal election success was a one-time result.

[John Curtin Research Centre @curtin_rc]

🚨 “The Nepean by-election was really bad news for the Greens.”

@Dyrenfurth says the Greens’ 9% primary vote — despite no Labor candidate — points to a deeper collapse already exposed at the 2025 federal election.

@KosSamaras predicts progressive voters could now consolidate behind Labor to stop One Nation in Victoria:

🗣️ “The Greens will effectively remain irrelevant to the conversation.”

Is Victorian politics becoming Labor vs One Nation?

@socialistadri The audience that watches Sky News in Australia is pro trump though this station only speaks to the nosy minority as most Australians hate Trump. Also as few have mentioned American MAGA voters are a major audience for Sky News YouTube channel.

[Doug Cameron @DougCameron51]

Labor must critically analyse the effect on democracy and the right to protest of adopting the Segal report recommendations.
Conflating antisemitism with legitimate opposition to Israeli govt genocide, apartheid and breaches of international law would be a grave mistake.

[Peter Brent @mumbletwits]

People who blame the evil, despicable Bondi murders of Jews on any govt’s criticism of Israel govt’s actions are just part of the problem.

[Joshua Johnstone @Josh198923]

And that includes former Iron Curtain nations.

[Joshua Johnstone @Josh198923]

Just an observation: Russian bots support Putin that's to be expected. If you’re not Russian, especially in the West or former USSR territories, you should support Ukraine. Why is X platforming so many useful idiots for Russia?

[State of Palestine @Palestine_UN]

On this day, 108 years ago, at the stroke of a colonial pen, the 67 word Balfour Declaration was issued promising our land away, reducing our existence to “non-Jewish communities”, and triggering the ethnic cleansing of Palestine and the ongoing Nakba and dispossession of the Palestinian people.

108 years later, we remain rooted in our land, certain that no declaration made or crime committed can erase our presence on our land.

It is long overdue to recognize, apologize, reparate, and end this historic injustice that befell a colonized, captive, and oppressed people.

[The Nation @thenation]

Charlie Kirk was an unrepentant racist, transphobe, homophobe, and misogynist who often wrapped his bigotry in Bible verses because there was no other way to pretend that it was morally correct.

Hey @grok, from 1 to 100, what’s my political lean?

1 is extreme left, 100 is extreme right.

[Joshua Johnstone @Josh198923]

@FootyonNine Not the worst idea, but still not going to work. We just need to accept that some seasons will be full of close games where the finalists are decided by the last game of the season, and others, like this season, will be full of dud games.

[MFA of Ukraine 🇺🇦 @MFA_Ukraine]

Using the correct names of Ukrainian cities isn’t just about spelling – it’s about respect and acknowledging of Ukrainian identity and history.

Unfortunately, many international media and organizations still use outdated, russified versions – a legacy of imperial narratives that aimed to erase Ukraine’s identity.

We invite you to use the correct forms:
Kyiv, not Kiev
Kharkiv, not Kharkov
Chernihiv, not Chernigov
Chornobyl, not Chernobyl
… and more 🇺🇦

These names matter. They reflect language, culture, and the right to self-identification.

Small changes like this help us move toward greater understanding and accuracy. And they do make a difference.

[Joshua Johnstone @Josh198923]

@RosscorpLtd I'm just going to have to agree to disagree with you.

[Joshua Johnstone @Josh198923]

@RosscorpLtd It is relevant as it relates to the mandate the Labor government has. The problem for pro-Labor supporters is that they behave as if they have a huge mandate, and parties like the Greens must agree to whatever they put forward. This is a clear misreading of the May 3rd election.
