@JodiMcKayMP Appalling.

Two articles currently in the Australian make for a neat juxtaposition. Their hand-wringing is in bad faith and their snide, racist gloating is 100% genuine.

This is what Murdoch said re our govt when debt was $174 billion & deficit was $30 billion after the GFC. This is what Murdoch said yesterday with Lib debt reaching $850 billion - 5 times bigger than ours; & Lib deficit at $184 billion - 6 times ours. #MorrisonsGiantDebtCon

Big news today. Philip Alston, the UN Special Rapporteur on Poverty and Human Rights, has just released his final report. It is a withering indictment of the "progress" narrative, and of the poverty line on which it is built. https://t.co/AceOJnOLQo

Yesterday's editorial in @theage said Australia "does not have the legacy of slavery". Yes we do. Here's a 40-min investigation I did for @BackgroundBrief 5 yrs ago in WA, where unpaid #Aboriginal workers were bought and sold by the govt itself. #history https://t.co/Q6sUIhvU9G

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Where is Congress? Where is the Supreme Court? Where are the mayors and governors? Living former presidents? Where are the university presidents, foundation heads, religious leaders, corporate leaders, union heads, editors and publishers? All must stand up to Trump’s madness.

This week, openDemocracy launched a new project to track how democracy and human rights are being rolled back during this pandemic.

Authorities around the world are trying to seize power and we need to be aware.

I'm proud to join more than 3000 academics in calling for the decommodification of labour (through a job guarantee) and the democratization of workplaces (by putting workers on company boards). This is a text well worth reading: https://t.co/zdvsCi2tAo

The main challenge for the Left is its inherent paradox: the quest for increasing plurality with a unified political agenda.

I’m no epidemiologist and no public health expert. I do believe passionately in science and also in #Factfulness. This man is the global authority on the spread of disease. If you are a leader (in any capacity) watch this. If you are not, watch it too.

I did the math: a full battery of coronavirus testing costs at minimum $1,331.

I also did the legal research: the Administration has the authority to make testing free for every American TODAY.

I secured a commitment from a high-level Trump official that they’d actually do it.
