Frustrated by the fact that I’m not the leader of the free world, but would love to be so that I can solve problems of inequality and environmental destruction.

[Antipoverty Centre @antipovertycent]

Amanda Rishworth and the Albanese government love giving billions of dollars in public money to make millionaires off the backs of poor people. Great report from CICTAR showing the legal way job agencies profit from poverty.

They'll ask you to condemn Hamas when your govt is sponsoring genocide in Gaza

Or to denounce the "Iranian regime" after your govt slaughters scores of schoolkids in Minab, and as it bombs Iran's bridges & ports

But when you flip the "regime" script on them, they end the show

[David Milner @DaveMilbo]

We've turned onto Hatt Rd to Pine Gap. Felicity Hayes, elder of the Arrernte, and Senator @DavidShoebridge are delivering a letter demanding the closure of the US base, reparations for the traditional owners of this land, and for the people of Gaza being hurt by its operations.

@UraneJohn @BonesIITaz I read so few articles on the ABC website which talk about Hitler’s kindness to animals. Surely the ABC can balance coverage regarding the millions killed in WWII and the Holocaust with cuddly stories of Adolf the dog lover.

So many replies to this post dripping with racism, lies and ignorance! What a cesspool this site is!

@JonesHowDareYou @noplaceforsheep @MarkDreyfusKCMP The abuse wasn’t hurled at @MarkDreyfusKCMP because he is Jewish. It was because he was a senior member of a government that was supporting genocide.

@annhyland101 Priceless for you, but very expensive for them 😂

[John Blanchette @John_Blanny]

Just send your kids to a public school!

[ann hyland @annhyland101]

Oh, it must be so hard. Poor possums.

@russbateman @baoshaoshan @AlboMP He makes Trump look sane

[John Blanchette @John_Blanny]

@MaryKostakidis You’d think she’d have a good case. However, I thought Jason Gillham did too.

[John Blanchette @John_Blanny]

@annhyland101 I reckon the problem is less about getting a ‘good’ education and more about wanting to keep their precious darlings away from the great unwashed.

Gaza cheers for Spain as they win the world cup. Pedro Porro wears the flag of Palestine at the medal ceremony.

[Purplepingers ☭ @purplepingers]

Bumped into someone on the street after one of the sessions at the socialist party’s founding national conference who told me I sent an empty home last year and he’s got a job now (not living there anymore though). Hard to describe the emotions

Finding this quite hard to stomach from a country that is bombing the shit out of other countries…

[John Blanchette @John_Blanny]

This was a great speech!

[Jenny Difficult-Frecklington-Jones 🇵🇸🇱🇧🇮🇷 @JonesHowDareYou]

"Why must we wait until thousands more parents bury their children, until thousands more lose their limbs, their homes and their futures, to come together and insist upon Palestinian freedom?"

In his quest to have his name on everything, Trump has paid $5 million for the naming rights of The Australian Independent Media Network.

We are now:

“The President Donald J. Trump One Big Beautiful Independent Media Network”. (Satire alert).

You cannot commit genocide in Gaza, invade Lebanon, bomb Iran, Syria, Yemen, and Iraq, violate Geneva and Vienna Conventions, international law, human rights, and state sovereignty, then hide behind anti-Semitism.

There is no rise in anti-Semitism. There is a rise in the number of people who are very angry at what Israel is doing. Your inability to separate the two is equally problematic.

[Aaron Smith @aaronsmith]

Still one of the greats: Pauline Hanson strides in with all the confidence of a woman who has not yet encountered the next thirty seconds.

Now with added backstory.

[Mike Hudema @MikeHudema]

The wildfire situation across North America just got worse.

Tens of thousands of lightning strikes across the Pacific Northwest has ignited dozens of new wildfires across Oregon and Washington.

No time to waste. #ActOnClimate
